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.

There’s that cytokine storm reference. Can you please say what a cytokine storm is? You probably don’t know but you will have to learn it now.

And everyone is too scared to gather and fight it.
Can’t even talk about it here.
I was suspended for a week for comments.
Can’t blame the management though, they are just trying to survive.

People will take the vaccine once is has proven to be safe as well as effective against COVID. People inoculated in mass against quite a number of diseases, including polio and tuberculosis.

It is important to note that the government at that time was more trustworthy and the vaccines were properly vetted. So, I'd start with ratcheting down the tyranny and up with real science.

My fully vaxxed mother is in the hospital again/still after two heart attacks within a week. Protein spikes, blood clots, severe tremors, bp out of control, solid brusing from head to toe, burning feet, now has stints, etc. and needs assistance to do anything. Neurologist, trauma nurse and 3 other nurses say it’s from the vax. She had started going down hill after the vax a few months ago.

I dropped the DMN after 30 years in 2020. Couldn’t stand it anymore. They must be the only ones in Dallas that like Clay Jenkins.

Note to Deep State: As for me, I’m not a sunshine patriot. Does that answer your question?

It’s an overreaction by one’s own immune system to a virus.
That’s why so many healthy people died of the Spanish flu.

This means they’re lying about the numbers of people vaccinated. There is a lot of desperation going on right now. They even had to lie about fda approval.

I was on the fence.....until you people started trying to push me. Now I wouldn’t get it no matter what if for no other reason than to give you the middle finger.

And 1/3 of patients admitted for Covid are vaxxed.

Hard to convince me that the Vaccine isn't a vaccine at all but rather a dispersal system.

and I cannot fathom why the entire establishment has arrayed against even looking at these treatments.

I can think of one reason. Emergency approval of untried vaccine is not allowed if there are alternative effective treatments available. Thinking that the vaccine prevents people from getting it is hard to sell since about half the cases are fully vaccinated. Easier to think the vaccine is the dispersal system not the cure.

Hey Dallas Morning “News” what does it cost to cover healthcare for illegal aliens?

Don't be silly health care for illegals is free.

Why was he tested? I really don't like it when people are said to have tested positive for COVID without telling if they had a symptom of the disease rather than being a hypochondriac, or forced to have a test on the job, or being "contact traced" to a so called exposure.

In addition to the N95 mask, I heard he gets tested every single week and has for months! What is the point of even living when you are such a SLAVE??

Yes, that EUA argument is a reason. If drugs work, then no need for EUA. But why want EUA at all? Money, and prestige, and the “greater good” of trying to bring failed mRNA technology to the market. Let 500,000 Americans die so they can advance this new, never before used, never before successful platform in the hopes it may be used for some other diseases in the future. Lots of money to these mRNA companies to study it a lot more... Fauci is a big advocate for mRNA despite there being virtually no pre-2020 data suggesting benefit. It’s all theoretical and now is a mass world-wide clinical trial.

There is some theory that those vaccinated carry a great deal more viral load, and spread it around much easier esp this Delta variant. Whether that is due to the vaccines or the variant or some combination of the two is to be determined (if they ever bother to look into it). It’s an open question whether vaccinated people, while having some greater protections from serious illness, may also be bigger spreaders of the disease as a result.

In my mind it is still a question of whether they would have gotten at all, not just oh well they would have gotten sicker with out it, an assertion with absolutely no proof to sustain it.

Time to make the price for manipulating others to go up.
