The Kentucky Senate is considering a resolution that would recognize a positive antibody test as equivalent to being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Republican state Sen. Ralph Alvarado is sponsoring Senate Joint Resolution 3, which would require Kentucky to recognize individuals with positive COVID-19 antibody tests as equivalent to those vaccinated against the virus. The resolution would expire Jan. 31, 2022.

Alvarado is a physician in Winchester. He said he developed the resolution language himself and, despite sponsoring the resolution, he encourages people get vaccinated even if they previously had COVID.

While the resolution passed the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, Democratic Sen. Karen Berg, a physician with UofL Health, pushed for the legislation to be held off until the General Assembly returns in January. Alvarado did not budge.

The resolution notes an increase of employers and organizations implementing vaccine mandates for employees, customers or visitors. President Joe Biden is expected to announce new vaccine rules mandating employers with more than 100 workers to require vaccinations or weekly testing.

Gov. Andy Beshear announced Thursday COVID-19 hospitalizations, ICU patients and ventilator usage is at an all-time high. The governor said there are only 90 adult ICU beds available statewide.

"Our hospital situation has never been more dire in my lifetime than it is now," Beshear said. "That means if you get COVID and need to be hospitalized, there has never been a greater likelihood that there's not a bed for you, or your family members or your friends."

Beshear continued to push for vaccinations and mask-wearing, pointing out that the state's youngest populations are the most at-risk. More than 70% of Kentuckians 18 and older have received at least their first shot, however the number is much smaller when looking at the 18 through 29 age group.

That makes sense. Who can argue with that?

Ask Dr. Fauci

Failure to acknowledge existing natural immunity is prime evidence the CDC is captured by Big Pharma. It’s all about pushing vaccines and nothing about immunity. That’s telling in a very bad way.

Absolutely.

However, three of my buddies had Covid. All were vets. All were told to get vaccinated after two weeks.

Missouri has 311 people in ICU beds. 24% of beds open. About 90? Even during the height of delta, I never saw it go below 14% ICU beds remaining.

We're well over the delta hump and Ohio can't be all that much different.

Beshear sounds like the MSM and I doubt he'll sign this bill. But hey, the repub was a meanie so ... That was one of those races where the numbers on election night suddenly changed on the TV screen with the number of sudden repub drop was the exact same number as dem increase, on live TV.
