COVID Still Threatens Millions of Immunocompromised People
Scientific American ^ | 24 February 2022 | Victoria Knight

Posted on 02/24/2022 7:17:00 AM PST by Scarlett156

Iesha White is so fed up with the U.S. response to covid-19 that she’s seriously considering moving to Europe.

“I’m that disgusted. The lack of care for each other, to me, it’s too much,” said White, 30, of Los Angeles. She has multiple sclerosis and takes a medicine that suppresses her immune system. “As a Black disabled person, I feel like nobody gives a [expletive] about me or my safety.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a strict definition of who is considered moderately or severely immunocompromised, such as cancer patients undergoing active treatment and organ transplant recipients. Still, millions of other people are living with chronic illnesses or disabilities that also make them especially susceptible to the disease. Though vulnerability differs based on each person and their health condition — and can depend on circumstances — catching covid is a risk they cannot take.

I feel sorry for this lady mentioned in the first paragraph: She's sick, she's likely not rich, she's got a ton of problems already, and now she's feeling compelled to whine because A) nobody's doing enough about COVID!!!!111 and B) she's an ethnic minority.

She's going to move to Europe! And won't you be sorry then? You will!

The gist of the article is that the USA is totally NOT dealing with the "pandemic" correctly and as a result millions of immunocompromised folks are in danger!

I will gladly contribute to a fund that provides transportation out of the USA and location in a foreign country for ALL immunocompromised Americans. And with affirmative action! All immunocompromised illegal aliens and ethnic minorities get to go first!

Covid is just the flu…long Covid is just something to strip away our liberties.

The flu threatens immunocompromised people all the time! My mom passed away in a rehabilitation facility while on lockdown because of the flu a decade ago. Nowhere on her death certificate does it state the flu as one of the causes of death, but we’re certain it was the final straw.

So sad.... From the very beginning immunologists, med. scientists, doctors have been saying there are "preventatives" and "cures"..... no need for the un-proven and often dangerous vaccines.

But the MSM and social media websites have restricted the reporting and covered that up so certain people could get rich off the vaccine stocks.

And how many hundreds of thousands of people died who didn't have to???

Covid 19,and delta are over. There is going to be a very sharp fall off of deaths and hospitalizations very soon because omicronmis so mild it only causes sniffles and a,little,achieve in almost,everyone. Only a few of the elderly with multiple comorbiti3s will succumb to,the new variant.

Covid 19,and delta are gone. Omicron has taken over. The deaths from delta and covid 19,now are from folks that have been battling it,for awhile now. The CDC even tells us the main covid and delta are gone- omciron makes,up over 95% of new virus cases now.

It’s over!

The only thing the left can do now is frighten the sheep by lying about how new less severe variants are everytime one emerges

Well, then...I guess that they’d better embrace the treatments which were branded ‘misinformation’ for 2 years plus, ‘cause they can’t hide from the Wuhan.

Notice how they’re ratcheting up the noise on ‘long COVID’ and that many of the symptoms are commonplace?

Moving to another country when an immigrant, don’t know the language where Islam gets carte blanche and you wait in line for worse socialized medicine?

She’s grasping but I feel her pain. Maybe Cuba...they have wonderful health care. Just ask Nichael Moore.

I can’t help but think that ivermectin might actually help in some cases of multiple sclerosis, which has been linked in some research to waterborne parasites.

The lady mentioned is age 30. I feel sorry for her, like I said - she’s got a whole world of problems already. But if she’s 30, she’s lived through several flu outbreaks. What’s so different about this one?

The fear.

[[But the MSM and social media websites have restricted the reporting and covered that up]]

Agreed! They should be brought up,on charges of crimes agaisnt humanity because they ,iterally cost millions of lives that died needlessly when they coul,dhave been daved if,they had just had alternative medicines available to them instead of being told to, “go,home, keep.an eye on your,condition, take aspirin, and if you get too bad, call the hospital”

Had all those folks been given a stint of hcq or ivermectin, plus antibiotics and steroids, almost all of them,would have never developed into emergency cases as they sat at home waiting to see what was gonna happen.

Dr McCullah (sp?) Had a hydroxychloriqu8ne protocol that was saving lives right from the start. As did many other doctors who were hushed up and censored and even canceled for dsringmto take their oath seriously by treating people to help cure them I stead of hurt. He was just one of many who were basically ostracized for daringmto cure people with covid

Here is a short video

The immune compromised and or old and or fat people..are the only people that should have been treated ..not necessarily vaxxed..in the first place.

The rest of us could have carried on.
Send people home who have a fever.

It is the height of narcissism to think the outside world should be compelled to do something about your personal plight. Sure, you can ask people for help. And some may answer the call, especially those that know you personally. But don’t expect the world to change because of your situation. That is, in my opinion, the definition of narcissism at its worst. If you’re scared to breathe the air of other people, by all means, get yourself a hazmat suit. And live in a bubble. Believe the rest of us alone.

“And how many hundreds of thousands of people died who didn’t have to???”

I’m not a big fan of people, but that does bug me. And it really bugs me to see “Scientific American” and other sources I formerly thought of as reasonable just going off the deep end with this political crap.
