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. …

Thanks to Deep State we now have a Big Med to go with Big Pharma.

And we’re not patients to Big Med.

We’re just the grist for their medical mills.

Average age of Covid death in the US = 78 years old

Average lifespan in the US = 77 years old

Wow. I had not seen that statistic.

"If you chose not to get the vaccine, it’s time for you to let FIND OUT IF your doctors know what ending well looks like for you WILL TREAT YOU EARLY, OUTPATIENT & HOME-BASED."

Do not wait until you are sick to find out whether or not your doctor will treat you or if your doctor will tell you to go home & wait a week until your lips are blue. If your doc will not treat to keep you out of the hospital, FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR.

There are MANY options - telemedicine in particular. Also, get on a prophylactic protocol, even if you are jabbed - there are several good protocols. Do NOT sit back and do nothing. Take control of your health and your life.

A very COMPREHENSIVE LIST of resources:

Early Treatment Protocols,Prevention Protocols,Physicians/Facilities Offering Early Treatment,Patient Guides,Long COVID Protocols,Studies

See tagline.

"They’re running out of people to fool."

Yup! Anyone who is not vaccinated now has made up their minds.

In my opinion anyone who does not want to get this vaccine should not do so for any reason whatsoever. If your voice of reason says something is wrong and you don't trust the vaccine pushers then you should listen and refuse to be vaccinated. If your job demands it, get another job, etc. etc.

The FDA appears to be purposefully tricking American citizens into giving up their right to refuse an experimental product.

While the media has trumpeted that the FDA has approved COVID vaccines, the FDA has not approved the Pfizer BioNTech vaccines, nor any COVID vaccines for the 12- to 15-year age group, nor any booster doses for anyone.

And FDA has not licensed any Moderna vaccine, nor any vaccine from Johnson & Johnson — so the vast majority of vaccines available in the U.S., if not all, remain unlicensed EUA products.

Here’s what you need to know when somebody orders to get the vaccine: Ask to see the vial. If it says “Comirnaty,” it’s a licensed product. If it says “Pfizer-BioNTech,” it’s an experimental product, and under 21 U.S. Code 360bbb, you have the right to refuse.

Everyone should have an end of life plan in place. The physical stuff, the spiritual stuff...and plain acceptance of the knowledge that YOU will, at some point, die.

I have a coworker who has been totally controlled by the fear porn, along with her family. Proudly got their vaxxes, wear their double masks, lecture everyone on "doing their part," etc. A few weeks ago one of them was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He never showed any symptoms. Now he's going to be dead. Not of covid.

You just never know.

NewsWeak needed an end to life plan years ago. Must be on life support, now.

That’s exactly how I feel as well. I respect it. It’s a really bad virus w/a 99% survival rate. During the last pandemic we had, H1N1, Obama taught me to cough in me sleeve as a precaution….and….to stay home from work or school if I felt sick. He said don’t worry.
I’ve never known anyone who tested positive for COVID-19. Everyone in my family has now been vaccinated without having tested positive. I guess they now have anti-bodies. I never had any flu in my whole life. I have no anti-bodies and that could prove to be a problem. I’m not a scientist. I just pray God brings us through this multi-level drama. Vaccinate me…but not the illegal aliens streaming in through our southern borders? Uh.

The end of the age of grace and the Tribulation are at hand. Everyone better consider where they want to spend eternity, while you still have the chance.

Especially if the tenets written on the “Georgia Guide Stones” were used to try and get multitudes of people vaccinated.

I already have an ‘end of life plan’:

But it does not encompass yours truly.

Anyone who intends to force a vaccination on me or my loved ones better make an end-of-life plan. A cigar box should do it.

“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:”

That verse has been on my mind all through this mess.
