These mother fuckers. I’m fact-checking them in real time. In my head of course, don’t want to get hubby fired 🤣
Claim: “Natural immunity isn’t as good as the protection from a vaccine”
Rating: FALSE. Multiple studies, especially those out of Israel, are showing that those vaccinated are less protected from Covid than those with natural immunity, markedly so, and if under 40, are more likely to experience severe or deadly health effects from the vaccine than they would if they contracted Covid while unvaccinated.
Claim: “Bed usage for Covid is at an all-time high system-wide”
Rating: FALSE. Maybe if you assholes hadn’t forced nurses and other medical staff to choose between bodily autonomy and their jobs, you’d have enough nurses to open up more beds and also keep a healthy, safe nurse to patient ratio. I’d like to hear a NUMBER of beds available vs beds filled as compared to April & May 2020.
Claim: “The vaccines are safe and effective”
Rating: FALSE. See claim #1 for “safe”. See Israel and the most-vaccinated cities & counties in the US for “effective”.
Claim: “There are no known therapeutics for Covid.”
Rating: So FALSE I’m ready to throw things. Keep raking in that sweet, sweet windfall of federal Covid death reimbursal at the cost of lives and families. Demons.
It is little wonder that they’re spewing this bullshit, though. They want that sweet federal money, and the doctors want to keep their medical licenses. Grinds my fucking gears.
I've been keeping an eye on my county's numbers and the reported hospitalizations are up from Jan- Feb earlier this year. And new cases. Not sure what's driving it or if they're counting things that aren't really Covid (the flu), given that it is August. I don't trust a bit of it.
See if you can find out how many beds are occupied. They like to use percentages to make it scarier, but “100% full Covid unit” loses its fear factor when the unit is only 6 beds.
The numbers I look at shows how many, as in an actual number. Although, I think they're over-stating the "rolling 2 week case rate per 100k of population" by a factor of 100.
