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

Posted on 08/25/2021 11:03:39 AM PDT by Olog-hai

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. …

Is this dumbass kidding? The unvaccinated are going to be the most valuable commodity in the next 5 years when vaccinated people realize they have been poisoned. They will be the mutants and not in a good Wolverine way.

The idea that anyone would make *any* plans based on a Newsweek article is stunning in its galactic stupidity.

I wouldn’t change a freaking dental appointment where 6 week old issues of Newsweek are the preferred reading material in the waiting room.

Fear is useful for herding people. Given that we know the COVID Vaccine’s effects on the heart, this scripture seems relevant…

Luke 21:26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:

The vax pushers basically have got the people they’re going to get. Get over it - we are not taking the clot shot!

TPTB know the word is getting out. That's why we're seeing articles like this....and, ones blasting Ivermectin (because it's a possible antidote, to their poison), splashed all over the MSM, now.

Let me get this straight ... if I am one of the 6% that catch Covid-19 without contributing comorbidities, and I am not one of the 99% of those that clear Covid-19 unbeknownst without symptoms, and I am not one of the 99% of those who clear Covid-19 without hospitalization, I have up to a 40% chance of dying from Covid-19?

.06 * .01 * .01 * .4 = 0.0000024 ... Let's round that up to 3 people out of every million so afflicted. Of the 331 million U.S. citizens, about 794 of us should be absolutely quaking in our boots in fear right now. The rest of us should follow the Marik prevention protocol (click) and lose a little weight.

The female co-author of this screed is president of an organization called End Well, which concerns itself with so-called end-of-life care. Not self-serving at all, right?

Skillfully written article, but it doesn’t fool me. The surge is caused by the delta variant. The vax doesn’t protect against the delta variant.

The article lies, and fails.

They have no shame. They are blaming everything on the unvaxxed. I predicted that approval would allow them to unleash their attack dogs against the unvaxxed. They have. It’s all on the unvaxxed. Not a word about the truth that the vax doesn’t protect against the delta variant, which is the dominant one.

Next we’ll be seeing undertakers posting giant billboards saying “Get vaccinated. We can wait.”

We’ve thought about that...well, a similar plan.

Something to think about...what if they attempt (especially blue states) to halt interstate travel, if you’ve not taken the jab?

I get that you’d avoid those state...but, what if they’re the shortest route to your next stop?

If there is an abundance of safe vaccines, why aren’t any of them being offered to the public?

Go read up on the two authors. My takeaway is they’re both medically trained professional attention whores.

Agree.

They’re trying to erase the control group (us!) to hide their hideous deed.
