like I said earlier, my daughter works in a few hospitals in Texas, and she tells me that the ICU patients are mostly fully vaccinated and they are all dying from Organ Failure.
The tragedy of the ICU deaths from Covid is that the cytokine storm is avoidable with treatments like vitamin D. Reaching that point is avoidable with other safe treatments involving off-label use of common drugs with a risk profile that is equal to or better than Tylenol.
Not what we’re seeing in Central Virginia and I work directly in a medical ICU as a critical care nurse. Perhaps Texas has different issues than what we are seeing. Our ICU admissions for covid are way down and are in the high 90’s percent unvaxxed when they do come. We sare getting a better handle on treating the inpatient non icu patients before they get as sick to come to the ICU. There has been an uptick of vaxxed patients ( but still less as a percentage vs unvaxxed) coming in on the lower floors as the early vaccinations have worn off but none get sick enough to come to the ICU and will go home after a few days. Our unvaxxed population in Central Va are still getting hit harder but overall numbers are declining. (herd immuninity might be gaining traction now). Will have to see what Omicron does when it gets here.
None if any organ failures due to vax auto-immune issues being seen in hospital just yet. Myocarditis related to moderna has been suspected in one younger patient who had other underlying issues prior to the shots but we got the patient turned around rather quickly. The cardiologist was “guessing’ on that one.
Just my take in my neck of the woods....other locations may have different conditions and differing subvariants. We may yet have “new waves” coming down the pipe.
