Hope he continues to recover.
I would be upset if my 81 y/o father was in there right now too.
My mother is a nursing instructor & my sister a nurse practitioner, so I also understand that side of it too.
Tough times for a lot of folks right now.
Glad your dad seems to be recovering for real.
I’ve got a friend who’s been on a vent for a week now. Not good.
It’s a wide field. It’d be smart to match your attention to their education level. I’d imagine most of the masters+ nurses have gotten their shot as well. They’ve also had plenty of science classes.
So is the fear that there will so many variants that natural antibodies, and those from vaccines, will eventually become ineffective before all the anti vaxxers die out? Serious question, I don’t claim to be a virologist.
Read what you just wrote and digest it!
Vac patients are getting sick and Dying and the nurses know it. They are not looking at the data and they are not reporting all data.
I can't believe I actually tried to go read that article ... what a pile of garbage from a garbage propaganda site.
I'll give you one guess as to why this is...all ECMO devices and beds being used by other COVID patients. Sorry but this is an issue in all local hospitals due to the overwhelming number of hospitalized COVID patients. I work at a hospital in Birmingham and we do have ECMO. On Sunday, I was the physician on call for outside transfers from other hospitals. We had five transfer requests from outside hospitals that day, a couple of which were for ECMO. I could not accept a single transfer patient due to lack of hospital ICU beds and bc all of our ECMO devices were in use. The physician for one of those patients told me he had called 5 other hospitals (including UAB, Emory, Vandy) asking if they could accept the patient for ECMO eval. All of those hospitals declined as well due to lack of beds/ECMO devices etc.
CDC: Percent of US adults aged 20 and over with overweight, including obesity: 73.6%
So, I don't disagree ... but being a fat is, unfortunately, a characteristic of a large majority of Americans.
Tell me why i should trust anything coming from this source you posted. Or why you would choose this particular source of information over other, conventionally trusted publications. I'm genuinely curious
We just lost 13 people leaving Afghan. It not significant. We only value certain lives?
of the 1200 people that have died of covid in this state since april, 100+ have been fully vaccinated. i think the vaccine has some marginal success in preventing death, but without knowing the infected population n we really can’t know how effective they are.
i say that as someone who is vaxxed and encourages people to get it. it’s just not the silver bullet people make it out to be. it hardly even prevents infection.
State reports few hospitalizations, deaths in fully vaccinated people
Those breakthrough cases are mostly elderly or people who had serious chronic health issues according to the state.www.wbrc.com
1,100 >> 100
Your logical fallacy is strawman
You misrepresented someone's argument to make it easier to attack.

You blew it with a dumb ass comment then posted an article that showed your comment was asinine. Move on, son.
Please report back in a week on the severeness of symptoms within each group
Based on the numbers from mid August, about 10,000 people have died of Covid that are below the age of 40. Out of a population of 166 million folks under 40 in this country.
Why are we mandating a vaccine for this age group?
Out of roughly the same population size, those over 40 have seen 600,000 deaths.
I mean, statistically, would that make more sense - to just require vaxxing those with the greatest risk?

Who is mandating vaccines? Hospitals? You do know these nurses come into contact with people that are high risk, right? It’s not just about the person getting vaccinated. Vaccinated are less likely to catch Covid and less likely to pass it on.
Ok, but logically, due to their job conditions - isn’t it probable that many (dare I say most) have come into contact with Covid over the last 18 months and are likely to have natural immunity at this point?
In general, why is natural immunity not talked about anymore?
Statistics can be misleading without context. For instance Israel shows that 60% of hospitalizations are from fully vaccinated. But if 70% of the population is fully vaxed I guess that skews the numbers. https://www.beckershospitalreview.c...s-in-israel-fully-vaccinated-study-finds.html
Yes but how about this part of Israel’s hospitalizations?
“Most of the vaccinated patients who were hospitalized, about 87 percent, were at least 60 years old.”
Yea, if you are over 50 there is no reason no to get the vaccine. That’s what is funny about statistics. If you are old you should get vaccinated. Doesn’t change the stats. The old will always be the ones in the majority dying. If they are 100% vaccinated they will still be the majority of people dying.
Could you possibly make a less relevant comparison.
As the troll correctly said, every life/death is significant but he changed his narrative to bring up that truth. His original statement was, “significant numbers”. 0.000009% is not a “significant number”.
I don’t believe you to be an idiot but your comparison and “gotcha” attempt is definitely idiotic.
Personally, I have never equated most nurses as highly intelligent. They perform a job function, but it isn't rocket science. It does not surprise me that many are not vaxxed. Of course, I can't imagine working in that role and not being vaxxed... hell, I would be in hazmat suit if I was at UAB.
Facts:
There are not enough nurses
They don’t get paid enough
They are very very stressed these days
They are as concerned as anyone would be about getting covid and taking it home
Why do we care if they get the shot?????????? IT DOES NOT WORK. You need to ask yourself why our corrupt government wants everyone to get it when it obviously is worthless.

Nurses in the US are paid higher than they are anywhere in the world. How are they not paid enough? Their pay for a 4 year, sometimes 2 year degree is really too high for their value.
I hope you don’t have to go in a hospital when they find out how you feel!!!!

Edit: 5k+/week. They rarely work close to a full year
You obvious don't know how this works. My opinion is that they make above average income for a menial degree. They don't work any harder or more hours than anyone else. Instead of providing data or background, you simple gave your opinion and attacked mine. What is it about a nurses job that dictates they should make more? Honestly, if more people were willing to work and compete for jobs, they should get paid less.
You should’ve left this part out. Nobody is taking you seriously now.
