This should be required reading for all anti vax nut jobs

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Doctors and nurses have had enough.

Nineteen months on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic have exposed many of them to more death and misery than they might have expected in an entire career. They’ve overheard patients’ haunting final phone calls to family before intubation. They’ve seen sick mothers lose their babies shortly after birth. They’ve kept vigil over frightened patients, dying in isolation. And they’ve heard it time and again – the regrets of so many, who concede in their final breaths that they should have gotten vaccinated.

Some of these health care heroes are giving up. And it’s really not surprising. They’re exhausted from the latest surge of cases that could have been prevented – and angry that so many who are hospitalized with COVID didn’t take the most basic step to protect themselves.

COVID vaccines have been readily available for months. Yet, only 52% of Ohioans are fully vaccinated -- and 95% of those hospitalized with COVID are not among them.

Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer spoke with five local doctors and nurses on the condition of anonymity, so they could freely describe what’s happening inside area hospitals and the toll it has taken on them. All names have been changed to protect their identities.

2. Anti vax nutters will just say

“We all have to die some time. It was God’s will.”

[Mr.Bill]

12. Actually the real nut cases are saying

no one is dying from the virus. All those people in the hospitals are dying of the vaccine.

[Maru Kitteh]

15. The also are starting to accuse us (nurses and doctors) of killing them.

All we try to do is save their ignorant, unworthy assess and we are being assaulted and even killed for our efforts.

[keithbvadu2]

18. Save me, secular heathens.

[Diamond_Dog]

21. Sad but true!

[MustLoveBeagles]

22. Sadly accurate

[Duncanpup]

3. Saddening diamond dog

[Diamond_Dog]

4. I'm at the point Duncanpup

I give up. If they can’t do one simple thing to protect themselves or their loved ones, they deserve their fate.

6. I'd like to say this again: "When the polio vaccine came out, there were NO.." anti vax nut jobs"

Again...NONE, NADA, ZERO, Empty, Wrong, Hesitant. Stupid.....AGAIN...NONE.......

In some ways this is worse......let's see ...500,000 dead...is that correct?...

[Delphinus]

7. Well beyond 500,000 now ...

last I checked it was over 770,000 just here in the United States.

[Stuart G]

8. Thank You for current numbers....VERY SAD!!!

[unblock]

9. Add around another third to that for non-Covid excess deaths

So another quarter million or so from people dying from something other than Covid, but who died indirectly from it

e.g., people who couldn't get an proper care for a heart attack because all the icu beds were full, or whose cancer was detected too late because they put off screening due to lockdowns.

[Delphinus]

10. Thank you

I knew I had read that number too, but when it came to type my response, I couldn't even think of anything close to what you said. Thanks for adding this important piece of information.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Yep!

Went over 775k today.
Close of yesterday's data was over 774,000, & the 7 Day MA of deaths was 1,070.

[Rebl2]

14. Couple

hundred thousand more

[relayerbob]

11. They need to learn to read first

Then, gain the ability to process information accurately.

[groundloop]

13. And it's no surprise that the majority of cases are now in poorly educated areas

where it seems that local and state governments want people to be stupid.

[relayerbob]

26. Oh, that's certainly true

Started with Reagan’s mocking education and cutting budgets. Been going on for 40 years and now we’re reaping what they’ve sown.

[LiberalArkie]

16. I think of the ones dying like a drunk driver who slams his truck into a tree and dies.. his fault,

no one else's.

[erronis]

19. It's when the drunk driver kills other people that it is a real shame.

Friends don't let friends drive drunk.

Same should be true for being vaccinated.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. I just really, really wish hospitals would refuse to accept unvaccinated patients.

They would certainly be exercising their medical freedom that way.

[Equomba]

24. I think the Libertarian wing of the GOP

would have to agree with that.

In addition, the co-pays for the unvaccinated who are hospitalized due to conditions related to Covid should increase to $100K or so for the extra burden placed on the rest of us.

[roamer65]

20. This why they should be sent to quarantine facilities.

[MyOwnPeace]

25. I just realized Sarah Palin was right!!!!!

We DO have 'death panels!'

It's Republiqans telling people not to get the shots!

[traitorsgalore]

27. I have no empathy either, refer to it as "the great repuke die-off"

I'm not in medicine but it's depressing as hell anyway. We're living through a horrible time. I so much as hear someone cough and I get the hell out of the area. I still do curbside grocery pickup. I mask up everywhere in public. Half of our society has given up on caring about other humans.
