Hospitals aren't full because of the virus



Anti-vax and anti-mask loyalty, in the middle of a pandemic, to people who have the vaccine, is the definition of a cult.

The cult lives on suffering, even if it is their own suffering. Which makes Abbott and DeathSentence cult leaders.

are ignoring, or missing, the point. The vaccines save your life. The vaccines keep you from needing hospitalization. The vaccines make you much, much less sick when you do get infected, and EVERYONE will be exposed/infected in the long run. The only choice facing you is to minimize your chance of dying, or nah.

it's because of BLM protests, or undocumented immigrants, or H1bs stealing our jobs, or socialism, or something like that. It's all detailed in Hillary's emails from Benghazi.

Hospitals aren't full because the virus is here. Hospitals are full because the virus has access to a large pool of the unvaccinated.

and check in to the hospital. She had some blood work done because she was fatigued and losing a lot of weight and there was some problem with her blood work so we found out this morning that she had a large mass/tumor on her pancreas. My dad was there and my brother and his famiy had come down from Vermont to celebrate his b-day and tried to get her biopsied and a room in the ICU right away but they didn't have anything for her and the Dr. wouldn't have availability toward the end of next week.

My brother tried cancer hospitals in Albany and Syracuse and no luck there either because no availability. Luckily, my brother has connections at the UVM Medical Center in Burlington and was able to get her in there, so they flew back up today and hopefully we will hear something more before then end of this week. I feel lucky to have such a determined, resourceful brother, or I don't know what we would have done, since I am quarantined down in Boston, my other brother is away on a business trip and liveiss down near DC, and my sister was able to leave her family behind with her husband and drive to Burlington to be with them. Also, most people up there are vaccinated so their resources aren't as strained as they are in "red" upstate NY.

It just pisses me off beyond belief. How many other people are struggling to find beds for their loved ones tonight?

and already had 3 procedures today. Just from that they were able to find out that it's not pancreatic cancer, but lymphoma. Which isn't great, but it's much better than pancreatic cancer which is quite deadly and moves very fast. Her chances are much better w/ lymphoma.

By tomorrow they should have a preliminary dx and then they send out for molecular/dna testing, and we should have the results of that in 72 hours. So glad we - and she - did not have to wait another week or more for this news as we would have if we had stayed in upstate NY!

Thanks again for your kind wishes!

If everyone was vaccinated there would be few people in the hospital. That’s the big difference with last year’s situation.

This was easily preventable

If you thought it was a hoax because Cheato said so, try his bleach injection and sunlamp suppository cure.

If you thought God would protect you, try going to church and see if you can get some miracle healing.

The CDC lifted the mandate May 13

Vaccinations weren't available to all ages (minus kids) til April 19

They needed to reach a higher vax rate before revising the mask mandate
This is on them
