TikTokker rips the unvaxxed for taking hospital beds away from people, like his wife, who need them

[kpete]

“Hey folks, how are you doing? I’ve just got a quick question about this whole COVID, ‘not getting vaccinated and running to the fucking hospital once you get the virus’ fucking deal, because this shit is out of fucking control, all right? And I’m gonna give you a quick story on why I think it’s out of fucking control. Last week I had to bring my wife into the hospital. She has stage 4 breast cancer, she was dealing with some symptoms, and I had to bring her in to get some fluid drained. She was having some pain, blah, blah, blah. She was in there for two days. On the third day—she honestly should have stayed one more day, maybe two more days, okay?—but on the third day instead of draining her fluid, and what they wanted to do … they told us that she had to be discharged because they had no room left in the hospital because of COVID. Here’s my question. … Ninety-nine percent of everybody that’s in the hospital with COVID right now is unvaccinated, okay. If you really fucking believe that COVID is not real, if you really believe that’s not a big deal, and you really believe that you don’t need to get the vaccine, that is your fucking right. Okay? I’m not going to argue with you about that. What I am going to argue with [you] about is you running to the fucking hospital once you get the virus. If you don’t trust the medical field to prevent you from getting it, why do you trust them to cure you from it? Why do you run to the fucking hospital? If you really believe that COVID’s not a big deal and it’s not this, that, and the other and you don’t get the vaccine because of it, stick to your fucking guns and keep your motherfucking ass at home. Stop running to the hospital, putting everybody else at fucking risk and, in turn, the collateral damages. People like my wife who actually need medical fucking help for a chronic fucking disease get kicked out of the hospital because your dumb ass is too stupid to go get a fucking vaccine shot. Keep your ass at home. If you really believe COVID’s not a big deal, prove it. Stick to your fucking guns, keep your ass at home, and fucking deal with it.”

1. This is perfect; I feel his anger at these

selfish anti-vaxxers.

[markie]

2. righteous rant!!

agree... unvaccinated should go to the back of the line... I just can't muster up anymore empathy or sympathy

we're angry

[Delphinus]

6. I was at my

physician's office yesterday and we discussed our empathy gap - he felt very bad about not being able to care. And I get it.

9. And what about all the people who have to postpone health screenings?

Colonoscopies screen for cancer, and some people are at higher risk because of genetics. So they should just wait for the Covid idiots for another year while cancer may be spreading in their bodies. Some cancer patients have to be in hospitals for treatment. I guess they should just skip that and stay home. My idiot governor has demanded that hospitals not do screenings like this or any elective surgeries. Getting a pacemaker might be considered elective surgery because maybe you can do without it a bit longer (or maybe you just die to make space for a Covid denier).

My empathy for the antivaxxers was exhausted long ago. I’m ready to have hospitals set aside a number of beds in a separate ward for them while allowing vaccinated, non-Covid patients to get their healthcare needs met. When they’re out of Covid beds, too bad. The antivaxxers should have worn a mask and gotten vaccinated. The only exceptions would be for those whose health and/or age prevent vaccination.

3. My mother can't get pain-relieving surgery done

because of these unvaccinated fuckers clogging up the hospitals. Just a simple, easy outpatient procedure will resolve the issue that's caused her to be in debilitating pain for months. But it's not life-threatening, so none of the hospitals will allow the neurosurgeon to schedule it. Normally for someone with her level of pain, the doctor says, he would have it done within a week.

She's 79 years old, she watched my dad die in April of cancer, she's living alone for the first time in her life and she absolutely does not need this bullshit.

4. Should be on the nightly news!

This guy is perfect. Blessings to him and his wife.

Needs more recs!

[KentuckyWoman]

5. +1

[SergeStorms]

13. The language is a little too salty...

and if you bleeped over every F.er and M.F.er there'd be nothing but one long bleep. It wouldn't bother me, but even cable TV stations would shy away from that.

I agree though. It's a powerful message.

[rainin]

7. That's bad, but we should also remember the cost of care for the unvaxxed

will drive up cost of insurance for all of us!

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. But if they had any integrity and just stayed at home and died, it costs us nothing.

And then vaccinated people can have their jobs.

[rainin]

17. If I were a healthcare worker, I'm pretty sure I'd triage patients accordingly

Vaxxed get my excellent care, unvaxxed get just enough to not lose my job or go to jail.

[AZLD4Candidate]

8. If they get sick and demand the vaccine without getting it voluntarily since it's free

they should be charged every penny for it and their medical care.

[Purrfessor]

10. Contrasting cemeteries...

[dalton99a]

19. Or this:

[gab13by13]

12. Wow, what a clear picture he paints.

I rarely go to my local right wing web site and argue with the cult, I am pretty much the lone dissenter there, but I did use this man's righteous rant just now. I told the cult they have no right to jump line, I told them to stick to their guns if they get Covid stay away from the hospital. I wish I could have posted the video but I would have gotten booted off the site because the guy used a couple of swear words. I will wait a bit and check on their reactions.

[Texaswitchy]

14. What he said.

I might agree to a cot in the parking garage.

Limited care.

Tough it out.

Or stay home.

My Grandkids have to stay home to be safe.

I haven't hugged my grandkids in so long.

We meet in a park away from other people and try to have a picnic.

It is hard when you stay 10 feet apart.

My sympathy from me for those who can but will not vax is non-existent.

[maryellen99]

15. My husband has to have some cardiac tests

So he can become active on the kidney transplant list and will be going on dialysis soon. I’m here in Michigan and expecting the shit to hit the fan soon-if he can’t get his port for dialysis put in due to the unvaccinated by choice filling up the hospital…

[KatyaR]

16. SO MUCH THIS.

nt

[dalton99a]

18. Put the unvaccinated in a tent in the parking lot

[Texaswitchy]

20. Good enough for them.

There will be more.
