The price of going unvaccinated is rising. Will that persuade more people to get the jab?
The Dallas Morning News ^ | August 29, 2021 | Mitchell Schnurman

If the health risks of COVID-19 aren’t enough to drive more people to get vaccinated, what about the cost of treatment — or even health insurance?

In June and July, the estimated costs for treating unvaccinated patients hospitalized for COVID were at least $2.3 billion, according to a recent report by researchers at the Kaiser Family Foundation. In Texas, the total probably surpassed $280 million, although researchers acknowledge the actual burden was probably higher in the state and country.

They estimated that 113,000 preventable hospitalizations occurred nationwide at an average cost of $20,000 a person.

No, it will determine the threshold for fighting back.

I think the vaccines can be helpful in fighting covid infections. I say that admitting I have no idea what kind of long term consequences they may incur. And I say that knowing that there may very well be alternative treatments that will boost the immune system and confer natural immunity in the process - and I cannot fathom why the entire establishment has arrayed against even looking at these treatments.

Not all vaccines are equal. My personal impression is that the AstraZeneca vaccine is among the worst of the bunch in the western world. Not available in the USA but used widely in the UK and one of many in Iceland. Iceland has a surge in breakthrough cases, but apparently not a lot of new hospitalizations or deaths at this point. Israel used Pfizer almost exclusively, and the data there shows it’s efficacy wanes rather quickly. So of course that’s the one that the US FDA approved first. Backwards decisions by a backwards administration, following massive institutional resistance to the concept of potentially simple, cheap and safe treatment going back 18 months.

If Virginia, why does it say “in England”?

“Will that persuade more people to get the jab?”

My brother and sister in-law would not be persuaded by this. They roughed it out for 10 days at home recovering from it.

They now have natural immunity. A normal people would have run to the ER. They did their medical treatment via the video hangout with a doctor. I provided a blood pressure reader, O2 readers and a thermometer. My brothers O2 level only drop to 88 once.

I would pick up meds and drop on the front porch with food when needed. Also loaded them up C, Zing, and E pills.

Since the Medical Bureaucrats do not publish those numbers, we can conclude they know the vaccines are ineffective.

With the advent of the ‘boosters’, Big Pharma (aka CDC) will now be able to pin ‘breakthrough’ cases on the excuse that the person didn’t get a booster, or there wasn’t enough time since the booster injection for it to kick in. With boosters every 5 months (do I hear 4??) the ‘window’ of CDC-approved ‘fully vaccinated’ status will be very narrow indeed.

The WV article he is referring to is here:

West Virginia sees 25% increase in deaths of fully vaccinated

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3990184/posts

The article discusses WV and then England, which is where the chart is.

As long as there's another so called vaccination in the pipeline.....(Novavax in Oct) one can always hold out for the next one as reason to not get these first ones, which have all been experiments.

It appears that the salient point on this graph is on the last line; that is, there were 402 deaths among those who had received two doses of the vaccine and 253 deaths among those who had not.

My wife and I both had Covid in early January 2021. I was tested for the antibodies last week, and mine were about 56 times what the lab considered to be “no antibodies for Covid.” So it is almost eight months later, and I should still be fine for future variants, in my opinion. Will get tested again in a few months to see if there are any changes.

How many Trillions have we spent on free healthcare to illegals and foreign national in country and out of country in the past 50 years?

My 11 unvaccinated family members sitting at the gun range, in the sun, living healthy, working on giving shots to tyrants like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and others. Life is good.

The Covid diagnosis is a sham. The reported Covid deaths are also suspect. Even vaccinated status is manipulated.
The government controls the narrative with its media and they control all the data.
The federal government is embarking on a massive depopulation campaign against the American public. This is a war and as always in any war, truth is the first casualty.

That’s different. Those people are a special victim category. Never mind that aids is 100 percent preventable and nearly 100% caused by Behavior which is sanctioned by the political correct society in which we live

The death line is the takeaway. More deaths in the vaccinated group in elderly patients even with many less individuals ill.

The insurers will be singing a different tune when the settlements over the “vaccines” start dwarfing the ordinary medical costs for treatment.

The vaccines probably do provide short term temporary immunity. But they also cause resistant strains that can be more lethal and or transmissible. It very unlikely that boosters will be able to provide effective immunity to the new strains.
Then of course there’s the long term and cumulative effects, clots vascular damage, auto immune and neurological disease.
Good thing they didn’t have vaccines during the Spanish flu. We’d probably be out of this if we focused on early aggressive treatment of pneumonia and preventive medication, D, C zinc.

Total BS. The dead and dying have been the vaccinated.
