1. We have changed the protocol...

... the protocol is now "get vaccinated and you won't need to be put on a ventilator"

Dumbasses.

[LakeArenal]

2. Feel free to pass on a ventilator. Because, there is a treatment. It's called the vaccine.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

3. A paranoia is beginning to form among anti-vaxxers that they're going to be left to die

for their stupidity (that's my word ... theirs would be 'freedom' or some shit).

That's going to become 'their thing' in the coming weeks, watch. They're not getting 'the care they deserve' kinda bullshit.

[Nevilledog]

5. It's not paranoia if it's true.

It'll turn into "if I can't have a ventilator, no one else can."

[Girard442]

7. They're actually not wrong about being left to die.

When there are no ICU beds and ventilators available, that's what happens.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

9. For sure, but they'll swear it's a giant liberal conspiracy to deny them care, facts be damned (nt)

[Girard442]

14. Well, sure. We Libs said it would happen, so clearly we did it. Logic, dontcha know.

[Wounded Bear]

29. Yep, it's called triage, and if the inn is full you get to sleep in the barn...

[struggle4progress]

4. They can all fill out Do Not Resuscitate forms if they want

Nobody is forcing them to let people save their lives

[FarPoint]

8. We are on the same page today...

[Hugh_Lebowski]

10. I think this person's actual argument is that 'care' is not starting until people are really sick

I think it's not actually anti-ventilator, it's 'why are people being allowed to get sick enough to need ventilators?' type of deal.

IOW, it's poorly worded, presumably by a stupid person.

I could be wrong though.

[struggle4progress]

12. I'm guessing the actual argument makes no sense at all

[Hugh_Lebowski]

13. Yes ... but we can simultaneously be correct in our assertions :) nt

[Mariana]

16. Plenty of them think the ventilators are directly killing the patients. nt.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

17. Okay. But I think they also (in delusion) believe there's more that can be done to keep them from

ever needing the 'killer' ventilator ... 'stuff' that they imagine is not happening.

You know, the 'stuff' in the hospital, that's the responsibility of someone else, not the dumbass patient who didn't wear masks or get the shot.

Likely they think it's part of some giant conspiracy by Fauci, Greedy Doctors and Ventilator-making companies.

[Mariana]

19. Yes, exactly.

They're upset that the doctors aren't giving the patients Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, and various other "treatments" that don't work. That would save them all, you see. Instead, the doctors are killing them on purpose with ventilators.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

21. I love a consensus ...

[Maru Kitteh]

18. That's what I got too. Of course

they are the ones who are "allowing" themselves to become sick enough to require a vent by denying themselves the care of masks and vaccines but . . . yeah. Stupid.



So, very, stupid.

[Hortensis]

20. My guess is you're right, written by people who are finally

getting scared and think widespread hospital malpractice is the reason so many people are becoming dreadfully ill, instead of their own delay in seeking care for a virus that's ravaging lungs like nothing seen before.

That said, apparently monoclonal antibody treatment hasn't been offered nearly as much as it should be.

[TreasonousBastard]

23. That's my understanding. But why assume antivaxers...

would be literate?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

25. Bot-Farms trying to spin up bullshit Astroturf 'movements' on Twitter are usually bad writers too

Just saying.

[TreasonousBastard]

26. English as second language ain't so easy.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

27. Nyet! (nt)

[NickB79]

28. A moderator on a Facebook page I'm on died of Covid yesterday

Lots of people asking why the doctors just "sat around" and "let" him die on a ventilator instead of giving him Ivermectin and hydroxychlroquine right away. It's a page dedicated to smallbore target shooting, so it's a LOT of RWers.

Apparently they think they know more than the doctors when it comes to care, and the doctors sat around doing nothing.

[FarPoint]

6. There indeed can be a written Do Not Intubate order....

They can make it legal...just like any other advance directive.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. See my post #10 above :) nt

[Mariana]

15. That's been going on since early on in the pandemic.

The "reasoning" goes like this:

Many Covid-19 patients have died after they've been put on ventilators, therefore, the ventilators must have killed them.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

24. Imagine if critical thinking was formally part of every school's curriculum from 9th to 12th grade?

Just as mandatory as English is.

Can you imagine?
