Are You Unvaccinated? It's Time to Make an End-of-Life Plan | Opinion
Newsweek ^ | 8/25/21 7:53 AM EDT | Shoshana Ungerleider and Jesse O’Shea

Life expectancy in the United States fell by 1½ years in 2020, the largest annual decline in life expectancy since World War II. Now, one and a half years into the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 626,000 American lives lost, we have an abundance of safe, accessible COVID vaccines, and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine just received full approval beyond emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Summer 2021 was supposed to be a return to normalcy, a “hot vax” summer of connection and prosperity. Instead, we saw a fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the return of Center for Disease Control (CDC) mask mandates, largely due to the over 90-million eligible Americans who remain unvaccinated in the setting of the highly infectious Delta variant.

As medical professionals, we’ve seen the cost of refusing the vaccine firsthand: Care for serious illness caused by SARS-COV-2 is invasive and traumatizing at best, both for you and for your family. Worldwide, for adults, there is a 30-40 percent chance of dying from COVID if you require intensive care.

If you chose not to get the vaccine, it’s time for you to let your doctors know what ending well looks like for you. For some of you, COVID-19 will be the deadliest virus you will face in your life. If you are holding off on getting vaccinated, there is one important thing that you should consider doing: complete an advance directive—a document explaining how you want medical decisions about you to be made if you cannot speak for yourself.

Share the document with your loved ones. Have conversations about what matters most to you, consider what kinds of treatment you are willing to undergo for a chance to get better, and talk through your wishes in different scenarios for quality of life. …

The Vaccinated should as well.

It's just being responsible.

Your loved ones will thank you.

“Could you make those lies any more transparent, please? We want confidence in how egregiously you’re lying . . .”

Indeed, the logic fallacy are mighty large from very smart people.

It’s actually this kind of lying and hyperbole that convinced me that the vaccines are trouble.

How AWFUL.

If I remain unvaxxed, in a country that is now close to herd immunity, my chances of catching this virus with it’s 99.7% survival rate are approaching zero, and the so called “Delta variant” has a fatality rate 1/4 of the original - that’s normal for mutating viruses like this.

Gosh. Time to panic!

Not.

More science denying Marxist BS. They believe natural immunity is not a thing and fail to realize that after 6 months efficacy of the vaccine drops to 39%. But hey, you can get it.

Or you could just survive it easily like over 99% of the population. This COVID cult is really starting to freak me out.

The best advice is get right with the Lord. Accept Jesus as your savior—God who became man, and realize that He died on the cross for your sins, so that you may have eternal life. Then tell someone of your acceptance, a friend, a family member, even a stranger. Your future is then assured.

the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine just received full approval beyond emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)...

My understanding is that the "Pfizer-BioNTech" is NOT the "Pfizer" vaccine. The "Pfizer-BioNTech" is slated for public distribution in a year or so.

More slight of hand, more lies, more smoke-n-mirrors. By the FDA/CDC and Fraudci and his gang.

They’re running out of people to fool. It’s a big problem for them. Just because most people are compliant sheep, doesn’t mean everyone is. And you don’t need that many people to fight back.
