A former nurse who was reportedly fired after his religious exemption to the COVID-19 vaccine requirement was rejected has shed some rather harsh light on hysterical claims that ICU beds are at capacity because of all the sick unvaccinated people.
Speaking with LifeSiteNews, Brad McDowell, who was employed as an emergency room nurse at Valley Health Systems in Winchester, Virginia, explained that the “at capacity” status has less to do with unvaccinated patients and more to do with unvaccinated staffers that are being let go for their resistance to hospital, state and federal mandates.
“They can’t open a bed that they don’t have a nurse and a tech to staff,” he explained in a video interview that was published over the weekend, after being asked by interviewer Jim Hale if the health care worker shortage supposedly caused by the pandemic is, in reality, a result of strict vaccine mandates that many health care professionals have refused to adhere to.
“I can tell you that all those beds [at Valley Health] are not open, and I know that for a fact,” McDowell charged, referring to his former place of employment.
“There are beds closed, and they’re saying they’re … at capacity, but it’s not because there’s not enough beds,” he explained.

Remember Lech Walesa? Anyone?
Hopefully this is how the revolution starts.

When is a hospital bed not a hospital bed?
When lefties get to cook the statistics!
Many historians consider the Poznań 1956 protests to be an important milestone in modern history of Poland, and one of the events that precipitated the fall of communism in Poland. Nonetheless, the protests of 1956 were not motivated by anti-communist ideology; the workers’ demands were mostly of an economic nature, centering around better work conditions rather than any political objectives.
Beyond the nurse and tech shortage, the sanitation employees are seriously in short supply. Even when I room was ready it was 4 more hours just waiting for it to be cleaned!!!
This makes sense though... We watched as sanitation crews literally scrubbed the baseboards in the hall with tiny brushes (think toothbrush). Do to the virus the required work has doubled for them while pay has not.
It is the same with the nurses and techs. The pantries we're closed. Now the nurses and staff must also wait on their patients. Things my husband would have normally gone to fetch for me like ice chips and water, we were now forced to page the nurses station to request! This of course does nothing to prevent any spreading of anything. People may still go to the cafeteria, shops, elevators, etc. This is only meant to make people “feel good” and signal that the hospital is doing something to make people “safe”.
After seeing the conditions and added work on all the hospital staff, in my opinion it is more than understandable why our hospitals are so short staffed! No one is going to do so much extra work for nothing. Add to that, much of the extra work is do to the bureaucratic nonsense with no actual benefit to patient safety or care and implemented without input or consultation of the staff...WHO WOULD STAY IN THESE JOBS?
Most successful union actions are about economic issues (pay and benefits).
However, bad treatment by management and/or the authorities cranks up the motivation—and righteous anger fuels the strikers.
Ordering workers to get vaxxed definitely falls into the category of treating workers like farm animals.

Sounds suspicious..........................
Ping!
Our hospital has no Vaccinated Covid Patients and no deaths among vaccinated patients. Also no major complications from the vaccine. And this has been the case for several months now
My experiences in hospitals over the past 18 months mirror what you say. It varies based on the facility, but nearly all the staff have had it up to here with the arbitrariness of the diktats coming down from on high. I had more than one nurse or hospital staffer tell me that the rules change daily and that few of them make any sense, though all of them make it more difficult to do their jobs. At least one told me that the “crisis” has allowed doctors and administrators to implement changes that they’ve always wanted—namely, to distance them from advocates and family members who demand better care for patients. The nurses and staff are almost universally frustrated and fed up with institutional leadership.
““at capacity” status has less to do with unvaccinated patients and more to do with unvaccinated staffers that are being let go for their resistance to hospital, state and federal mandates.
“They can’t open a bed that they don’t have a nurse and a tech to staff,””
Firing the unvaccinated staff helps to prolong the “pandemic”. Hospitals are at capacity don’t you know.
he's daidBring Out Your Dead
'nuff said.

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
