CLEVELAND, Ohio — A state representative from Northeast Ohio is warning of increased attacks on healthcare workers by people related to patients who have not been vaccinated against the COVID-19 coronavirus, calling the situation “insane.”

In a tweet sent out Tuesday, Rep. Casey Weinstein, a Democrat from Summit County, says he was told by an unspecified hospital CEO that hospital workers are facing an increasing number of attacks during the COVID crisis.

‘Was just briefed by a major hospital network CEO,” Weinstein writes. “It’s not just that they’re beyond capacity. The families of their unvaccinated patients are ATTACKING caregivers for not giving them the ‘right’ meds and (quack) treatments.

Weinstein claims in the tweet there are 25 incidents each day. “This. Is. INSANE,” he writes.

In a second tweet, Weinstein says it’s important to treat hospital workers with respect as another coronavirus surge puts increased stress on healthcare providers.

“They are our last line of defense!” Weinstein writes.

There have been increased reports across the nation of violence toward healthcare workers. ABC News reports that a nurse testified before a Georgia Senate study committee in September that she was attacked by a patient so severely she ended up in the ER of her own hospital.

Cox Medical Center Branson in Missouri has issued panic buttons to healthcare workers because of a three-time increase in assaults on healthcare workers. Experts say many incidents of violence are not reported, ABC News reports.

“A year ago, we’re healthcare heroes and everybody’s clapping for us,” Dr. Stu Coffman, a Dallas-based emergency room physician, tells PBS News Hour. “And now we’re being in some areas harassed and disbelieved and ridiculed for what we’re trying to do, which is just depressing and frustrating.”

At this point, anyone who goes to a hospital for “treatment” of COVID is a damned fool who pretty much deserves whatever he gets. Sad but true.

Yes, it’s b.s. and it’s racist. The media tells me that it’s minorities who are refusing to be vaccinated. Now they’re saying their families are attacking health care workers.

Exaggerated lies to support a losing treatment protocol.

Demanding alternative treatments instead of the death throes of Remsdivir, coma-inducement and intubation is not a threat of harm to so-called caregivers.

Show proof of actual harm, injury, death, police reorts or shut the heck up.

Most likely the staff are refusing to use medications that work and asked for by family. Then staff using their own killing meds that soon require a ventilator. I would be attacking staff if they did that to my family. Had friend this happened to. She was fine and talking, then given THEIR meds instead of what was requested by family. Right away needed ventilator and died.

I think it’s their family members who are getting violent and I don’t blame them.

Your loved one is lying there dying, and something cheap and effective (Ivermectin) could save them but the medical marvels won’t give it to these patients.

I’m surprised family members haven’t flipped out from coast to coast.
