A Michigan doctor goes to Facebook over dying, unvaccinated COVID patients

It had been another grueling weekend for doctors and staff battling to save COVID patients at Beaumont Hospital in Troy. People gasping for breath, some dying. Patients’ panic mixed with bewilderment and grief.

Dr. Matthew Trunsky had slogged through plenty of these shifts since the pandemic began last year: rushing from room to room, ordering up drug cocktails, reviewing charts, trying to communicate with patients through a mask and face shield over the din of breathing machines, and having to tell families their loved one was about to die.

But a series of troubling interactions this past weekend triggered something powerful inside Trunsky. Maybe it was the long hours. But mostly, he said, it was the unending thicket of misinformation and conspiracy theories he was hearing from patients who had not been vaccinated, many of them critically ill.

... “We took the oath, we take all comers,” he said. “And I think deep down that’s the reason most of us went into medicine — to take care of patients. And it doesn't really matter who they are and what decisions they make.”

Doctors and nurses may ask a patient why they are unvaccinated, he said, but “you don't want to go in with a chip on your shoulder, ready to say, ‘You're stupid.’”

Yes this is happening AFTER we had finally gained herd immunity. I’m pretty sure I have the virus, but it’s not affecting me that much. I think my large Vit C & Zink doses are working. No fever.

Show your math. Where are all the “unvaxxinated” dying? I’m not having some experimental serum injected into my body, completely overwriting my immune system.

Did you know that animal trials for mRNA had all of them die when a pathogen was introduced?

If a test cannot differentiate between the flu, the cold and a virus that hasn’t been isolated, how could there possibly be any variants?

Than and the fact that no one outside the US and our “lie for profit” system is reporting anything of the sort.

For that matter, not even the vaccine makers are pushing numbers like that, just the internet foot soldiers.

Those are the total, vastly over-inflated numbers regarding anybody and everybody that had a non-isolated virus and recovered, who then later died off a completely unrelated cause, like a crash or workplace death.

My employer currently has a policy that allows only "fully vaccinated" or PCR test negative persons on company premises. That is a huge oversight. The fully vaxxed can contract, incubate and transmit the virus. If you're coming onto company premises to work inside closed spaces with other employees, you want to be sure everyone has a negative test result. Of late, that means checking saliva, not just a nasal swab. The nasal swabs are missing positive cases.

One of the safest places to have in person discussions is the firing line at my local indoor shooting range. The ventilation arrives behind the firing line and is removed at the far end. Any human aerosols and smoke from firing a firearm goes directly down range. The next best place is inside a raised floor computer room. Positive pressure under the floor, exit air up with the heat flow. The objective is to not be breathing other people's air.

“links to the stats would be appreciated”

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailycases (select Michigan and Cumulative deaths from the dropdown menus). Michigan likely has their own State site.

“It would seem MNJohnnie is using short term data”

Only for the deaths, and then using total numbers for population, to produce a distorted ratio of risk. His contention that COVID deaths are trivially few, is untrue. It has been more than twice as deafly as any other pandemic in the last 100 years. More Americans have died from it than from combat in WWII. Current daily deaths of about 2,000 per day in the USA, is about an Infantry Brigade’s worth, each day.

“I’d be interested in learning exactly why spike is occurring?”

There are multiple variables, but the main driver is the much higher infectiousness (and moderately more immune evasiveness) of the Delta variant, which is now more than 99% of the new cases.

No discussion of how many have died because they were denied early treatment with cost effective, widely used drugs, such as Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin?

“Trunsky said multiple patients argued with him about peer-review research relating to COVID, citing conspiracy theories they had read about on social media or formulated on their own.”

when i see crap like that in an article it’s obvious that the article is nothing but propaganda ... another tip-off is there was not ONE SINGLE WORD about what, if any, treatments were administered to those ill from covid ... and then NOT A SINGLE WORD about anyone who was ill even though they had been vaxxed ... the whole article is nothing but garbage to frighten people into getting vaxxed ...

Those variants are “vaxx escape”.
I’m a keen observer, and I’ve noticed how sloppy the vaxxed are getting with their anti-transmission protocols.

I just shake my head.

You are not alone in your observations regarding sloppy jabbed protocols...I have seen it with family and heard either Kory, Malone, and or Cole talking about this.

Can I ask how much Zinc and C you are taking per day?

Avoid using bathrooms at work or while traveling.

There is fecal aerosol transmission.

“ADE happens as antibody titer drops.”

Nonsense.

They call it Antibody Dependent Enhancement, because it depends on antibodies.

ADE happens when I non-sterilizing antibody latches onto a pathogen triggering an immune system cell to draw it inside for destruction. The pathogen then infects the immune cell and begins replication. In a high titer environment, multiple antibodies can lock onto the pathogen. In a low titer environment, few or as little as one might weakly attach. That is part of the reason there is a push for boosters. A high titer of non-sterilizing antibody is less likely to allow the ADE scenario.
