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.’”

That’s the job of the “whackcine”.

Problem is that the elite ruling class can’t make money off of recoveries.

“ When symptomatic, the vaxxed generate a viral load 256x to 1000x more than an unvaxxed”

Not true.

It is the Delta variant that produces those higher viral loads (as compared to the original strain), not having been vaccinated. Vaccinated people who are infected with Delta (on average) experience lower viral loads than the unvaccinated, and for shorter times.

“ vaxxed are dying at 4x the rate of unvaxxed”

Not true.

“ Others await ADE”

There has been no ADE from any of the approved/authorized COVID-19 vaccines, or from the disease itself. Billions of doses of vaccine have already been administered worldwide. Over 3/4 of American adults have received COVID-19 vaccines - no ADE.

“Deaths from Covid in Michigan: 64”

“Your post’s stats are the Tell!“

There have been over 20,000 deaths from COVID in Michigan.

Why do you keep posting obvious propaganda? Stop feeding the beast.

“>> It’s 99.99 percent survivable.”

About one in 500 Americans has already died of COVID-19 (662K), despite only a minority having been exposed so far (estimates around 1/3).

Globally, it has been more than twice as deadly as any other pandemic in the last 100 years.

It kills people who don’t take it?

What I mean is that...You’d have to have taken it for it to have been a “whackcine”, and it’s the unvaccinated that Biden says he is losing patience with.

Doing a search for this particular doctor I find 2 hits: looks like a father with a specialty in hospice care and a son who is a pulmonary specialist. But the point is that a doctor with either of these specialties is going to see a disproportionate number of cases in central Michigan, or indeed any major metropolitan area.

I guess all the self-congratulations about “Being Heroes” 18 months ago has worn off. Medical professionals have been in the grind the entire time and their numbers have been attrited but the senseless vaccine mandates.

This isn’t propaganda. It’s a human interest story about what doctors have to deal with at the hospitals.

So let’s all live in fear, right? Your cure is to get an experimental vaccine that doesn’t stop the patient from getting the virus, being hospitalized or even dying. My cure is to eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, and keep my BMI under 25. Along the way, I continue to live my normal life, free from fear & stress which is known to weaken immune systems.

Don’t bother. It’s a paid shill, wouldn’t be surprised if half a dozen Pfizer employees are using each shill account.

Tragic how, among people I know, cases are exploding among the vaxed. One just got pneumonia, so not looking good. It’s a shame the pharmaceutical companies spend so much on their shills and buying politicians to mandate their fake vaccine rather than just making an effective vaccine. One that actually protects people and doesn’t require hordes of paid shills to sell it and corrupt politicians to mandate it.

“We’re really trolling the obscure websites to find and post from.”

The website for article isn’t all that obscure and the Beaumont Hospital system is major in Michigan with 601 locations. Not all are ER equipped, some are Urgent Care, and the BridgeMI.com website claims that it is a non-partisan, non-profit news organization. The author of the article seems eager to prop up the featured Dr. Trunsky at Beaumont Troy while also being critical of the unvaccinated. It’s a hit piece on the unvaccinated (IMO) and that could not be said to be “non-partisan”.

You unvaxxed Neanderthal Deplorable Trumpers are a THREAT TO THE VAXXED!

Or something.

Don’t ask me how the Vaxxed are threatened by the unVaxxed.

If you refuse to be vaccinated you shouldn’t take up an ICU bed, just go home and take your “moo-juice, colloidal silver or essential oils and call me in the morning.

Just to show context, approximately 1 in 130 Americans die every day. 😮

That would be a relevant stance if this was a vaccine.

Have these doctors tried hydroxycloroquin, Ivermectin, and/or monoclonal antibodies on their patients... early?

If not, I don’t want to hear from them.
