So they’re running out of SYMPATHY? I guess it’s nothing about healthcare, but all about feeeelings.

“Unvaccinated are dying 20:1 over vaccinated in Texas “.

There is no need to read any further. This isn’t even statistically possible and no one with any common sense believes a word of this tripe.

I really feel for my kids and their peers.

I would not want to be a young person these days with what kind of future it looks like they are facing.

The problem is not fatigue as a result of prolonged expression of compassion.

The problem is that the veneer of compassion is wearing off and the deep-seated contempt and hatred these health care “workers” have for real people who actually live lives marked by self-respect and dignity is coming to the surface. These health care “workers” are tired of being reminded of the utter emptiness and darkness they have inside of themselves where we would have expectef to find a soul.

FWIW, I know docs WITH one or more co-morbidities who continue to see patients in person.

More problems: Docs who won’t touch their patients.

And here’s a stat I’d like to see: If medical mistakes are through the roof since the vaxx mandate for healthcare workers came out. I’m real interested in that one. And I’m betting they are...

How is it that America’s hospitals are filling up with unvaccinated while in the rest of the world it is the vaccinated.

Your observational basis is? You are saying it is statistically impossible for there to be 20 unvaccinated cases in the ICU for every vaccinated case or that deaths can in a similar distribution to what is actually observed.

And you do not offer any other data. Just that it’s tripe? You don’t respond to the question because you can’t. You are not in ICUs. You have no direct knowledge. Just unsubstantiated reports. I actually know what I am seeing and it mirrors what the other real physicians on this forum are seeing.

I don’t really care one way or another what you choose to believe. I do care when you say something demonstrably false and then cannot back it up. The fundamental concept of data is what is observed. And what all people taking care of this pandemic see is the same thing.

As I said I take exception to this article because it is false that ICUs are full of Covid. We see little Covid since the onset of omicron. A good thing. But what is in the ICU looks a lot like the delta variant and they are in fact almost if not entirely unvaccinated. Just what we say in august in my region. Just was eveyone who has treated delta as seen.

I am actually quite glad that there is minimal Covid in the ICU despite the high case numbers. It tells us that this is a highly transmissible less dangerous variant. This is generally what ends pandemics.

Unvaccinated?

Yes?

Well then.

Come over here and meet your new friend, Mr. Ventilator. You’re going to spend the rest of your (criminally foreshortened) life with him, intimately connected to him, so try to get along, would you please?

Because we’re currently running short on compassion...

Just the question clarifies your stance on helping others.

Interesting. So my son got a test today mandated by his job mandated because some in his area tested pos. He had to take the company credit card to pay for the test. $280 bucks. He has another Monday and then might be able to come back to work Wednesday. They are paying him to be out. It’s the same for others at his job. So times $280 by the number of employees getting mandatory testing. Cash cow. Times that by the number of others scared wanting to work cause they need the money. Times that by the businesses that have to shell out the cash for those tests. And times that by the parents that want to make sure thier kids are okay.

Some one is making bank.

And you know what?

If you are positive what gain do you personally get? They don’t prescibe anything. They don’t do nothing but tell you not to work. Not to walk around. So what’s it worth to an individual to get tested when they arent showing symptoms or sick?

Asking for my son.

Run a video search on dancing nurses. It was quite the fad for a while.

With omicron and knowing what we know about it — I dont think anyone should be tested at all. It is a URI with mostly head cold symptoms. Never mind that the majority of tests are also incorrectly collected as it should be throat swab as URI instead of nasopharyngeal for LRI

I do not disagree that someone is making bank. The panic testing makes no sense. I do not disagree with you — in the least.

I have always stated that if you are not showing symptoms or mildly sick, then it is irrelevant to test.

When all you have is a bizarre ad hominem attack to an open discussion of what is being observed — you really have nothing.

“And you do not offer any other data.“

Data? Are you kidding? Rational people don’t need data to determine water is wet. This is literally third grade level reasoning.
