‘I’m sorry, but it’s too late’: Alabama doctor on treating unvaccinated, dying COVID patients
AL ^

“I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections,” wrote Cobia, a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, in an emotional Facebook post Sunday. “One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.” 
“They cry. And they tell me they didn’t know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color they wouldn’t get as sick. They thought it was ‘just the flu’. But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back. But they can’t. So they thank me and they go get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death note, and say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives.”

    Al.com is a liberal rag. Even the quote is garbage. You can tell that the doctor is full of crap because it encompasses every possible objection.

    “a hospitalist”?
What, exactly, is that? A physician? A janitor?
Just another reason I’m not buying this story.

So, if they are vaccinated it’s NOT too late?

We already know who this affects, supposedly, and these kids would not be in that risk group.

    Sadistic. When you first get Covid, they won’t treat you until your O2 levels drop to a certain point.This is wrong. That is precisely the time to treat it. They wait until they have to put them on a ventilator and bemoan their lack of ventilators. They’ve done everything backwards including murder in nursing homes by intentional exposure. It’s almost like this is a “thin the herd” exercise.

    “One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.”
 "...and then they weep and tell me they were wrong to vote for Trump while I hand them a BLM tissue to dry their tears." Quite a fairy tale.
