MA is one of the most vaccinated states in the union. There cases have been off the charts - but most certainly those in the hospital are unvaccinated. C-19 must avoid vaccinates like it does one’s eyes.

You totally read my mind. Btw what ARE we to do with our friends and family members who were all for this crap the whole time? You know, the ones who looked at you blankly when you got annoyed with masks?

I’m STILL seeing people driving with them on alone. Just stop.

If you like your vaccine you can keep your vaccine.

If you like your muzzle you can keep wearing your muzzle.

Just don’t expect or require us to play into your delusions.

I passed a high school today, shortly after school let out. I saw kids walking the street alone, nowhere near anyone else, and wearing masks.

Each Hospital gets a bonus payment from the Government for every patient diagnosed with Covid.

That is a light estimate — in my hospitals I think it is closer to 75% or 80%

No — that is completely untrue. You do not really have a grasp of how hospital care is paid for.

Nope
Again, not much of an understanding of how health care is paid for in the US. This is total fake news and a talking point used that could not be more incorrect.
