Washington Post ^ | 11/25/2021 | Brittany Shammas and Paulina Firozi

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — At Spectrum Health, a major health-care system here, officials spent part of last week debating whether to move to “red status” in a show of how strained hospitals had become.

A flood of mostly unvaccinated covid-19 patients was arriving at emergency departments already packed with people suffering other medical issues, sending capacity to unprecedented levels. The only hesitation for Spectrum’s decision-makers? Data suggested the covid surge was not over.

Wash Compost = mostly lies. Unreliable source. Probably untrue. Probably intentional lies.

The story uses the words “hospitalized with”, NOT hospitalized for.

I’m calling BS on this story.

And I’m still wondering if adverse vaxx reactions are being called CoupFlu to hide the stats.

FAKE NEWS

There is no 'Delta' strain. That was just the excuse for the number of vaccine injured showing up at hospitals. That number continues to rise, as does seasonal influenza, impacting hospitals.

While that number may be exaggerated, Michigan is undergoing a surge right now. IMO it has to do with vitamin D deficiency as people in Michigan spend more time indoors starting about now.

Ya know, whatever happened to flu season?

While seasonal influenza (flu) viruses are detected year-round in the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter.

-The CDC

So apparently there is no more flu season, just Covid - forever. And fear. Lots and lots of fear because everything is now Covid instead of annual flu season. I see how that works.

Both highly vaccinated and very lightly vaccinated populations (at the time) had “Delta” waves in 2021. And the Delta wave receded and remained low in many countries that went through massive vaccination drives. Like India and Indonesia and Spain and Florida, etc. - check international and US state data. The thesis (that “Delta” was vaccine injuries) seems very doubtful just based on empirical data and the timing.

How many nurses and other hospital staff were either fired or quit due to vaxx mandates?

Lack of staff can cause overcrowding in a hurry....

They “jumped the shark” early in this clown show. Now even the CNN watching zombies are starting to smell bull $hit.

A flood of mostly unvaccinated c

ALL the covid symptomatic are "previously vaccinated".

They call them "unvaccinated" because they need more people to keep getting the boosters, which will kill even more people.

We are learning that this virus has seasonal tendencies. It will continue to hit us in waves during winter when people go inside or in the summer in Florida due to the heat. The only way out of this is that everyone will have to be hot at least once but even with that, there are no guarantees because each year a new variant will just hit us.
