Covid's next victim

[Puppyjive]

My parents are living in assisted living. They both are vaccinated thank goodness. One of the caregivers came down with covid. They had to isolate my parents. Very few workers will get vaccinated. The care giver refused to do any contract tracing. She didn't want to snitch on anyone. She hasn't been back to work in over 4 months and is in a wheel chair. Covid destroyed her heart. She is dying and still refuses to get vaccinated. She knows the end is near and she said that it is God's wish. How about that all loving god? My neighbors won't get vaccinated because they said all the patients in the hospital are vaccinated. Not true. Almost every case is an unvaccinated person. We had 29 new cases in our 35% vaccinated county today. They also said that people are getting lesions on their brains from the vaccination. They are all Faux News and talk radio people. How did such lies take a hold of these people? This is the worst war I have ever seen and I am a veteran.

1. vaccination should be required for any assisted living workers

this is crazy

5. I couldn't agree more. Those working in hospitals treating Covid patients also need to be vaccinated

I have two friends who work in the local hospital and they were the first I knew to get the vaccine, last January - even though they had to drive downstate to a major hospital to get the Pfizer. That anyone, especially those who work with patients, still refuses to get vaccinated even though it's now readily available, is unacceptable and just insane.

9. I think if you don't believe in vaccinations, you need to get out of the medical field

it is ridiculous

10. I mentioned earlier how I know an older gentleman (mid 80s) who I see at local meetings

When the subject of the vaccine originally came up, he said he wasn't getting vaccinated because his daughter is a nurse and she isn't getting vaccinated and he gets his medical advice from her.

11. I have a coworker like that

his sister (a nurse) had some issues with the first shot, declined the second so he won't be getting any shots. I was glad to hear their parents did get the vaccine.

12. This poor guy's family is a lot worse than that

He also said that his nurse/daughter said that if they mandated health care workers getting vaccinated at the hospital where she works, she'd quit her job. And they do have Covid cases there, the local paper reported 2 Covid deaths just last week. And then he said that he has 2 granddaughters who also refuse to be vaccinated because they might want to have children! WTF?! How did this nurse make it through school?!

2. I don't understand how this happened.

The believe as true the opposite of what is true. That they take the word of charlatans is painful to witness.

In the case of this pandemic what is so maddening is that they are bringing harm to others, including children.

3. wow

4. It is a war, indeed. That came in my mind

recently.

6. Hey guys, yes you male anti-vacers

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/yes-covid-19-can-cause-erectile-dysfunction/

Researchers are piecing together that surviving COVID-19 may be associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). The research points to three factors that can lead to the potential onset of ED in men who have had the virus:

Vascular effects. Erectile function is a predictor of heart disease, so we know that the vascular system and reproductive system are connected. We also know that COVID-19 can cause hyperinflammation throughout the body, especially in the heart and surrounding muscles. Blood supply to the penis can become blocked or narrowed as a result of a new or worsened vascular condition caused by the virus.
Psychological impact. Sexual activity is closely associated with mental health. The stress, anxiety and depression caused by the virus and pandemic can be linked to sexual dysfunction and poor mood.
Overall health deterioration. ED is typically a symptom of an underlying problem. Men with poor health are at greater risk for developing ED and also for having a severe reaction to COVID-19. Since the virus can cause a plethora of health issues, general poor health is cause for concern both for ED and other complications.


Another cause for concern regarding the research is the potential testicular damage that can occur following an infection with COVID-19. It’s too early to tell if the damage is permanent, temporary or if it can affect fertility. Age is also an important aspect to consider, as it’s a risk factor for developing both ED and a severe case of COVID-19.

Another way Darwin works.

8. Yes it is a war

and the stakes are very high and not just Covid. So many have suspended disbelief - for what? That is what we need to find out because America is crumbling at its roots.

13. Hard to believe...no, it's not, that republicans are so evil...

they're spewing disinformation on the vaccines so Joe Biden won't be successful. They don't care if they kill people.

Carlson, Ingraham and Hannity are all vaccinated as FOX's policy to get into their building requires it.
