‘Alarming’ rise in COVID-19-related hospitalizations among unvaccinated in Michigan
Breitbart ^ | 03/25/2021 | Alexandria Hein Fox News

Posted on 03/25/2021 8:25:39 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

While recent seven-day averages concerning COVID-19-related hospitalizations across the country have remained stable, health officials in Michigan have noted an “alarming” rise among unvaccinated individuals. In the first three weeks of March, officials tallied a 633 percent increase in hospitalizations among adults ages 30-39 and an increase of 800 percent among those ages 40-49.

There are 8.7 of them are part of a paramilitary right-wing white supremacist extremist neo-nazi fascist anarchist Michigan Militia group dwelling in a cabin in woods,and the other guy is an FBI informant who infected them.

That is one brave FBI informant, is he/she/it the .7?

Trump calling covid the “Deadly Plague” was irresponsible on his part! He did his part in building Fauci up as a great man and scientist! Trump holds at least some responsibility in where we currently find ourselves!

He was reacting to the derps saying he was killing everybody by ignoring the covid.

Bad box to be in. He ended up giving them exactly what they needed to perpetrate this endless fiasco.

The alternative was Trump the Butcher with the blood of gajillions on his hands, and then goes golfing.

“THESE AREN’T VACCINES! THEY’RE ALIEN DNA WITH BILL GATES MICROCHIPS TO MAKE YOU STERILE AND TURN YOU INTO A ZOMBIE AND STEAL YOUR SOUL!”

Hyperbolic pish-posh, exaggeration, and a false representation of the proper position on this issue.

That is a tactic of a scalawag and bounder. It has the added benefit of being chock full of lies, which is what you are accusing us smarts of doing.

Have you no shame? Take your vax and leave us alone.

A person seriously overweight with diabetes already has serious health problems. So yes, persons in that category are at risk. But they are constantly at risk, just like a 75 year old who gets the flu is in serious risk.

But that risk could be more easily managed by just getting them the vaccine first.

What. It went from 1 to 8? My guess is the numbers as so small they are using percent increase as a foil

I’m happy to leave alone anyone who’s simply making their best decision for themselves. Take the vaccine, don’t take the vaccine, or snort chili powder; that’s on you. Totally up to you.

But when people spread lies and fear, I’ll counter that with facts. Because everyone deserves the opportunity to make their own decision about their own health with facts. Not fear.

And the anti-vaxxer side of things is making absurd claims like the vaccines contain alien DNA and Bill Gates mind control microchips. So yes, both sides are lying. They're lying to drive fear into peoples' hearts to make them change their decisions through panic.

There you go again. Taking outliers to broad brush us superior normals. Rubbish and hogwash.

You misread my post. If we normals are lying, then the Chinese potion is more than necessary and safe as can be and everybody should run out and get them some.

We know the derps are lying, so why is a vax necessary? Especially when there are actual treatments that work and we KNOW the derps are squashing them so as to make their vax necessary.

No emergency, no emergency authorization and then they gotta take the time necessary to properly test and approve the Chinese fake vax.

No, we don't ask questions in order to promote fear, as you insist. We do it for the safety of all peoples, truth, justice, and the American way.

And to stymie the great reset as a side benefit.

You enable there effort with your acceptance and promotion of their fear campaign and your attacks on thinking people.

That's your thing and you're a partially free American, so you do you, but stow the microchip, alien slanders, hey?

You’re right about that. I was just struck by how the story kept using the word “unvaccinated” as a negative.

Completely agree with you that fear mongering the vaccines has no place in the discussion. However as they are experimental, caution is advised especially for young persons.

As you said, we have data from clinical trials first starting in mid-March 2020 and those results were positive for providing protection. No reputable doctor is fear mongering the vaccine but more than a few (America’s Frontline Doctors) are sending up caution signs for potential long term effects, especially for young women. Most vaccines are tested for multiple years before receiving full FDA approval. Because these did not receive testing for that length of time, they are labeled experimental, giving the companies a legal pass from the tort lawyers. Presenting potential concerns over long term effects is not fear mongering in my opinion, but prudent information that should be revealed to those considering taking the vaccine.

Funny how we all know the derps and their Chinese masters conspired to create all of this and then engaged on a massive fear campaign to gain compliance which continues to this day.

And all of a sudden those of us who are shouting 'whoa nelly, the emperor has no clothes' are the ones inspiring fear?

Weird talking point, but if it works for you.

Ya can't step into the middle of an ongoing fear campaign and invent a separate but equal fear campaign. The vax is part and parcel of the derpish fear campaign. It is not a benevolent and loving act here to save the day. I think that's what has you confused.

Its exactly what the very people who created the 'crisis' want. I ask why? I see lies, manipulations, psychological control techniques and I ask why?

Now, whose the one spreading fear? I ask ya.

p.s. Smaller paragraphs makes for easier reading, if you don't mind. #NoSnark

Belay that kind of talk. There are soft people here, susceptible to fear. We must all keep in mind that words are scary. And weapons.

Cover your eyes, 2amendment.

This microagression will not stand.

"Most vaccines are tested for multiple years before receiving full FDA approval."

The FDA has four separate paths for accelerating the availability of new medicines. These are long established paths - decades old - used regularly under specific guidelines. This isn't new. This isn't unusual. Emergency Use Authorization is just one of the four paths.

"Because these did not receive testing for that length of time, they are labeled experimental, giving the companies a legal pass from the tort lawyers."

Congress removed vaccine injuries from the jurisdiction of US courts in 1986 with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, signed by President Reagan. This was done because anti-vaxxers had launched so many nuisance lawsuits against vaccine makers with absolute nonsense claims (every single one of which was proven false in court) that the legal defense costs were threatening to put vaccine makers out of business. It was a tactic to bankrupt the industry, the same as the left has been doing to try and bankrupt gun makers. Congress didn't want to see polio make a comeback, so they stepped in between the two sides.

"Presenting potential concerns over long term effects is not fear mongering in my opinion, but prudent information that should be revealed to those considering taking the vaccine."

I would say it depends a lot on what those concerns are based on (e.g. their validity as a real concern) and how they're presented. Again, if we're saying "we don't have data on what might happen in 5 years or 10 years", that's certainly true. I think it would be important to then point out that there's no data suggesting there will be any change, but it's valid to point out these are new medicines. Some people may choose to wait based on that. Nothing wrong with that.

However, when we talk about "America’s Frontline Doctors" (which includes dentists, non-practicing physicians, and others who clearly are about as far as you can get from being a "frontline doctor" actually treating COVID-19 patients with severe illness), they make claims like the vaccines are "not a vaccine at this point". That's absolutely false. And the repeated use of all-caps "experimental" is also - frankly - wrong and designed to provoke an emotional response. These vaccines have gone through all the normal Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials. Being on an accelerated path doesn't make them bad. It means that the paperwork review process isn't held up by some FDA bureaucrat who's asleep at his desk. They still have to do the same trials. They still have to compile the same data. They just don't have to wait for weeks or months on end for the go-ahead to move on to the next step.

These are safe and effective vaccines. We have data from multiple clinical trials in the US and other western countries proving that. We have data from hundreds of millions around the world proving that. We have detailed data from millions in Israel proving that. A group of kooky conspiracy nuts that includes a dentist, an orthopedic surgeon, and a strip mall clinic doctor doesn't change those simple facts. We should stick to the facts and leave the fear out. If people choose to wait or not get the vaccines at all because of whatever individual reasons they may have, that's their choice and it should be respected. But if somebody looks at the evidence and the facts and chooses to get one of the COVID-19 vaccines, nobody should be yelling fearmongering nonsense at them to try and change their mind.

If the people who DON'T want to get the vaccine want that decision respected, then they need to respect the decision of those who DO want a COVID-19 vaccine.

I’d say you’re right regarding Trump, and yes the two groups could be subdivided.

Trump was taken advantage of by the Deep State on so many levels, the CDC & big pharma are just two examples. I think he truly believes in the good of people, which makes him quite naive in a swamp so infested with corruption that it was obvious to the end his own party worked against him.

He was the greatest since Reagan. It’s just that one person cannot stand up to so much corruption by himself and expect to win. Which is why this may go to the next level in a very ugly way no one really wants.

Because everyone deserves the opportunity to make their own decision about their own health with facts. Not fear.

As an addendum, let me add this philosophical comment.

I just realized another reason that your talking points are really wrong. Thought I'd advise you of that.

Sometimes fear is justified. Fear works. Fear is a survival mechanism. Your use of the word 'fear' is irrational and misused.

As an example, do you not fear the takeover and ruination of America? Would you consider sounding the alarm against that to be 'fearmongering' and a negative thing to be avoided?

Advising people to fear that worth fearing is a good thing. Sorta a Paul Revere kinda deal. Don't ya think?

(the derps could say the same thing, if they weren't so blatantly lying about the rona AND the vax).
