Vast majority in ICU are unvaccinated

[edhopper]

From a variety of news stories it looks like 90% to 95% of people in the ICU are unvaccinated. And the vaccinated patients have serious co-morbidities,

Should be more widely reported.

1. Yes it does

It's also showing continued durability of vaccine. I expect that to drop then the boosters will be here.

2. I agree it should be shouted from the rooftops.

Although some right wingers have told me that they believe the counts are “inflated” “exagerrated” or “faked” because news outlets want sensational headlines to get people to tune in, watch, read,whatever.

Facts mess with their agenda.

6. That "Inflated" & "Fake" Nonsense...

...has been around since April 2020. As the evidence continues to mount, ignoring it and calling it fake is all they've got.
It's what weak minds do.

3. This would be a hell of a time to have a heart attack, car wreck or a snake bite.

Have to die because some ignorant redneck wouldn't take his shot.

4. Anybody can help someone with a snake bite.

You just suck out the poison from the bite.

5. Only in the movies! ;)

I spent three days in ICU and a couple in the regular rooms for an encounter with a Copperhead. It damn near killed me.

9. That's why you start triage.

See the thread on this page.

When care starts to be rationed, these folks go to the end of the line. People don’t willingly seek heart attacks, or accidents, or snake bites. But with COVID…there are ways to mitigate, if not prevent, it: vaccines and masks.

Make your choice, take your chances, and accept the consequences. Just don’t expect a hell of a lot of sympathy when you show up sick at the ER.

7. And the vast majority of the unvaccinated are Repubs.

Don't these idiotic R governors realize that they are killing off their constituents?

[AngryOldDem]

10. No, because most are too busy sucking up to Trump and the base for their own ends

They see what plays well with most of the great unwashed — getting that cred for 2022, 2024, and beyond. The consequences are out of sight, out of mind. Like Fox — all it cares about are ratings for its (vaccinated) stars.

It’s a game of Who’s The Bigger Asshole.

8. We had 14 inpatients today, 10 unvaccinated.
