Our decisions affect others - vet dies because ICUs are filled

Choosing not to get vaccinated, putting yourself at significantly higher risk of hospitalization or death not only affects you and your family, but your fellow Americans as well.

Your statement is true. But I don’t think the shaming is working anymore. People have their decisions locked in. The government has screwed this up a little as well. At first they told people to get the shot, and remover your mask. Now they are saying get the shot and keep your mask on because we don’t think the vaccine works well enough. That was a dumb message. It probably convinced thousands not to get vaccinated.

It was a message based on what was known at the time.

People who cannot deal with change and are childish about it are growing tiresome.

That’s another problem The feds keep talking as if they know what they are talking about. The story keeps changing. When they have changed the story as often as they have, it makes people not trust them.

They should have been honest from the start and admitted they didn’t know much. Pride gets in the way of progress sometimes. And causes mistrust.

I don’t think shaming works either, but people are coming around. Another 1M vaccinated yesterday. Trending up.

The story about a novel virus keeps changing as information about it changes.

Color me shocked.

It is seriously weird how people are incapable of adapting.

Not as weird as a government who cannot admit that they don’t know much. Right?

Talked to my doctor today. She said she had to send someone all the way to South Dakota because there are no ICU beds available in OK or surrounding states.

That’s across the country.

Most people do what’s in their self interest, and the interest of their family and close friends. Beyond that you’ll see a scant few. That’s how it is and has been regarding life in general. You’re acting as if this is something new. I hate to tell you the hard truth, but most people don’t care what happens to John Smith in another state. Too bad, so sad.

I don’t think so, I know a lot of people who give blood as one example. Heck my kids ended up with iron deficiency because they gave so often.

I’d be willing to bet most of the people carrying on about masks aren’t wearing them like they claim.

COVID-19 hospitalizations can also add up to 10-20 grand as insurance companies stop waiving deductibles:

Me too. I do think hearing stories about unvaccinated people dying helps people rethink their positions.

I hope people that needed vaccinated continue to ramp up too.

Then if we could get old joe to close the border as well we would be in business.

Don’t you get paid for that?

The general public’s behavior at supermarkets was not very neighborly like. Imagine in a real emergency situation?

You’re referring to our state officials. The regular people carrying on are probably wearing two masks.

I think you can get paid or you can volunteer, they don’t get paid. I have been banned from giving blood since the nineties. Mad cow exposure.

[Liberty323]

Yep. As far as the mainstream, Big Pharma medical industry is concerned, this is how it goes:

1. You go to the hospital because you feel bad, and you test positive for COVID.
2. You get sent home until you feel “really bad” and have to be put on a ventilator.

Nothing in between. The only cures are the vaccine or ventilator. They are either imbeciles or prostitutes for Big Pharma.

No. If you feel bad, you don’t go straight to the ER. You make an appointment with your PCP (and I know they leave spaces in their schedule for “emergencies”- or for problems visits) and you consult them for symptoms. Then they send you to the ER.

[FlameHeart]

Anyone remember Steven Assanti from “My 600-lb Life”? He would go to the ER for any excuse. Sometimes he had no excuse. Then there was that video he made about demanding the taxpayer pay for his care. He demanded to be seen every time.
