Doctors are tired of it. You can imagine what they are saying about unvaccinated patients when they are venting with each other. Our hospital saw the first covid patient in the country off that cruise ship, and they have been busy throughout, but they currently have more covid patients than ever, and it is so frustrating thst we have something thst can largely prevent serious illness/hospitalization/death.
Reassuring to know he had a gun and a badge in case he had to make a judgement call…A Georgia police officer who frequently posted anti-vaxx messages on Facebook and took an anti-parasitic drug instead of a vaccine has died of COVID-19.
A police captain who refused the vaccine and took the anti-parasitic ivermectin to combat COVID-19 dies from the virus
Captain Joe Manning of the Wayne County Sheriff's Office took the anti-parasitic ivermectin - often used to deworm horses - as a COVID-19 cure.www.yahoo.com
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said the drug does not help prevent or treat coronavirus, and this week issued a health advisory detailing an increase in severe illness caused by taking ivermectin.
Calls to US poison control centers about ivermectin exposures increased five-fold from the pre-pandemic baseline, with an especially sharp rise in July 2021, a CDC report said.
The Food and Drug Administration asked people to stop taking the drug, stating "You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it."
Yes, but do you understand it?
The study isn't a comparison between vaccinated versus unvaccinated. It is a comparison between variants.
From the study:
Even your alarmist site has added an addendum to clarify:
Those infected with the Delta variant do carry a higher viral load than those who were infected by a different variant. In the case of vaccinated people, the viral load is 251 times higher. In the case of unvaccinated people, the viral load is 1,260 times higher.
How the Delta variant achieves its ultrafast spread
Viral load is roughly 1,000 times higher in people infected with the Delta variant than those infected with the original coronavirus strain, according to a study in China.www.nature.com
Delta is a nasty piece of work but scientific studies have shown that those infected by Delta who were vaccinated carry a fraction of the viral load of those who were not vaccinated when they were infected by Delta.
The viral load from Delta among the unvaccinated was in the Nature study linked in the post. This particular aspect is new so I wouldn't be surprised if there are new studies with better information and the Oxford study could very well be better information.
Weird. Why would an anti vaxxer take a horse dewormer? Did he know what was in it? Was he aware of any of the long-term studies for it? Did he know that it’s ineffective against a virus since worms and viruses aren’t the same thing?
That’s the thing. I really feel for our doctors and nurses. They shouldn’t have to continue to treat losers who are too stupid/politically motivated to get a vaccine. Doctors and nurses have lives, mental health, and families too. They shouldn’t constantly be exposed to covid and all the crap situations that covid creates. My sister in law literally began therapy this year to deal with this stuff. Therapy has helped so that’s good. But you know what would probably help more? If this pandemic ended. But we need a much higher vaccination rate in order to accomplish that. I just… feel for fellow educators and for those involved in health care. This sucks.

His wife, Jessica Wallace, wrote Wednesday on Facebook that she had a “heartbreaking update” about her husband, Caleb.Texas Anti-Mask 'Freedom Rally' Organizer Fighting For His Life With COVID-19
His pregnant wife said this week that the hospital was "out of options" for her husband.
“He’s not doing good. It’s not looking in our favor,” she said. “His lungs are stiff due to the fibrosis. They called and said they’ve run out of options for him and asked if I would consent to a do not resuscitate. And it would be up to us when to stop treatments.”
“My heart just can’t. I can’t imagine my life without him.”
Caleb Wallace, a 30-year-old father of three, has been unconscious, ventilated and heavily sedated in the ICU at Shannon Medical Center in San Angelo since Aug. 8, the Standard-Times reported.

I struggle with this. Anyone else?
Dont give in to this way of thinking. Stay compassionate despite the stupidity
Of course. Disinformation is clearly one of the biggest problems infecting our society. And I use the word “infection” on purpose. It’s akin to a disinformation pandemic. It includes the warning Timothy Snyder references in my signature. And it entails so much more, literally infecting every area of human knowledge. It is bound to be highly destabilizing in any society it infects. It is simply a HUGE problem. I know you are being more specific, focused on the consequences on everybody of the unvaccinated who are rooted in disinfo, and married to crackpot remedies, but the rejection of the approach of expert based medical advice is part of this much broader based problem. The further we diverge as a society from the ability to reach a consensus opinion on REALITY, the more destabilized, the more disconnected, the more distrusting, the more divided we will grow, and the harder it will be to ever solve this enormous problem…
There has never been a society anywhere on Earth or ever in history in which there wasn’t bad information believed by a sizable portion of the population. The most stable and long lived societies you can think of, such as the dynasties in China or Egypt, had plenty of untrue beliefs. It is not realistic to set ‘no bad information’ as a standard we should strive for and I deeply distrust the idea of establishing an authority that functions as a gatekeeper over what information the public is allowed to be exposed to.
I was not endorsing any approach. I was simply stating what should be obvious by now(referring to the words I wrote, not the article I linked to. I stand by the words I wrote 100%). I mean of course one cannot name any undisputed truth that will not have people who reject it. There are quite a few of my fellow citizens that believe our political leaders are actually shape shifting reptilian aliens. And I am not interested in creating gatekeeper authorities. From a practical viewpoint, I’ll go no further than what Timothy Snyder states in “On Tyranny”, and contained in my signature. That is trouble enough right there. Yeah, civics should be taught as early in the education regimen as possible, that might also help. And critical thinking? Of course. And very, very, very few people will ever master that skill. And emotions will annihilate reason every time. Every single time. We are not built to be rational beings. Sadly. The ad men all know that. That’s why we sell presidents every 4 years. And launch negative ads after negative ads. The day I wake up and find the American public is no longer susceptible to persuasion via the emotions of fear and hate, is the day I’ll wonder what planet I’m on.
