US doctors lose patience as they confront vaccine hesitancy
Seattle Times ^ | July 29, 2021 | Rebecca Torrence

...The pandemic, these professionals say, is entering a dark new phase. Nearly half the nation rejects vaccines, goes maskless and sees virus restrictions as an assault on liberty. As cases rise again, scientists and doctors are grappling with the exasperating realization that the country has the means to tame this virus, but large parts of the population reject them.

"How much more energy and effort can the nation exert to save even more lives when Americans, given the options and tools to save themselves, aren’t doing it?” said James Hodge, director of the Center for Public Health Law and Policy at Arizona State University. “That’s a very different pandemic we’re facing.”

...

Christopher Mason, who studies the genomic sequencing of COVID variants at New York’s Weill Cornell Medical Center, said... this resistance has driven colleagues to leave the field, exhausted by the past year and frustrated with the public’s rejection of vaccines.

“It’s the duration of the pandemic and the constant workload, but also the feeling of society’s disrespect of a vaccine that can prevent the very pandemic that we’re in,” he said. “Knowing that there’s a way to prevent it and they’re still saying ‘no thanks’ is just maddening to people working in health care.”

...

Contact tracing has also seen significant improvements. But Larry Jones, executive director of the Missouri Center for Public Health Excellence, said that as cases increase, those infected become more difficult to identify, and tracing less effective...

“I keep hearing over and over, when we call and say ‘have you been exposed,’ they hang up the phone,” he said.

“US doctors lose patience”
Is that a play on words? “doctors lose patients”

More BS propaganda.

Tokyo and Britain and Israel and even CHY-NA have far FAR better vaccination rates and their infection rates are skyrockteing just as much.

.... a vaccine that can prevent the very pandemic that we’re in,” he said.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Um, NO - you cannot vaccinate your way out of a pandemic.

Two interviews with Dr. Malone people should listen to:

Episode 1,137 – Deep Dive into COVID
https://rumble.com/vkkriq-episode-1137-deep-dive-into-covid.html

Dr. Malone interviewed on War Room Saturday.

ALSO:
Ep 923 | Can Mass Vaccination During a Pandemic Actually Backfire? | Guest: Dr. Robert Malone
https://www.theblaze.com/podcasts/daniel-horowitz-podcast

His comments (at 51:30) on a 3rd shot are “interesting”, but the whole interview is good - Daniel talking first (good thoughts), Dr. Malone about 20-25 minutes in.

To people in Healthcare surrounded by the sick, testing info, Covid, Covid, Covid...24x7 non-stop they assume everyone is suffering from the virus and is potentially on their deathbed...when the opposite is true. Go outside and getaway and take a vacation and see how wrong you are.

They have developed Stockholm syndrome with Batflu.

From the article:"Needlessly die?" Doc, get a grip. How many of these people have been medicated with HCL or Ivermectin, both proven to stop the virus in it's tracks? Let me guess, none. Up to you doc. Have the guts to try?

This is the talking points for this week. They are going to blast stats and triple down on lockdowns and get even more authoritarian.

What would help is for CDC to admit some culpability. They have issued confusing, contradictory advice. They were in the forefront in politicizing the epidemic. They have refused to even apologise for inaccurate test.and inflated death numbers.

Some heads need to roll. They need a new, less haughty spokesperson.

That is where to start.

patient: “Doc, I have this migraine..”
LIB DOC: “Have you been vaxxed?”
patient: “how is my migraine connected to COVID?”
LIB DOC: “if you get vaxxed, it will help..”
patient: “in what way will being vaxxed’ help my migraine problem? It might make it worse”
LIB DOC: “I’m the doctor. I know what’s best”
patient: “You sure about that? Then I wont sign that waiver in case I get sick or die from vaccination for legal reasons so I can sue IF something happens to me “
LIB DOC: “Well you dont have to go that far..”

What has happened is that the American population has become essentially ungovernable and the Government can thank itself for that.

Too many lies.

Too many games played for political advantage.

Too many betrayals.

the country has the means to tame this virus

Another hard stop for me. No we don't. What's out there isn't stopping it, and recent evidence indicates it's actually making it worse.

Add to those who are vaccinated those who have natural immunity through contracting the disease or other immunity 80% of all adults have some immuity. The rest of the world? less than 10%. These variants aren’t coming from the US. If they are really afraid than close the borders.

How about not willing to assume the risk that the vaccine imposes themselves? With their immunity in place, what do vaccine producers care if their product damages people either temporarily or permanently?
