I just saw a clip of an ICU nurse in Arkansas.

She said the vaccinated people on the Covid floor get better and go home.

But all the unvaccinated people in ICU are dying.

She said that wasn't true last wave. Some people in ICU died but others went home.

This stuff is deadly.

1. CDC has data on breakthrough cases

It's mostly over 65 aged people who die of breakthrough cases.

2. 95 to 99% of COVID patients on ventilators die per doctors & PAs at 3 hospitals I've talked with.

Three at one major hospital went on record in an interview - they all said 99% were dying and that was before Delta. (Not 99% of everyone who got sick or went to the hospital, but 99% of those on ventilators with COVID.) This includes a pumolonologist doctor, an ICU nurse, and a respiratory therapist, based on a full year of treating COVID patients as of March.

Another hospital worker in another state put her estimate at 99%. Again, before Delta.

4. This reminds me of early on after the seatbelt law was passed...

I was talking with a state police officer and they said they'd never unbuckled a person who'd died in an accident.

I was rare in that at the time, I had always worn a seatbelt (i disliked slipping around on vinyl bench seats). After that revelation I've always made SURE I was wearing my seatbelt.

The stats so far is that the belts have saved everyone in my immediate family from possible severe injury or death in an auto accident. Maybe even multiple times.

On COVID, so far, in the last couple of months, vaccination has saved (no possible about it) one extended family member from succumbing to COVID Delta.

5. The Delta covid varient is much more deadly than the earlier Alpha covid.
