You know I have seen sooooo many Trumpists and antivaxxers reduced to despair as they watch their not vaccinated loved on die for no reason at all. Do you know how many of them try to get medical people to tell them that the fact that they were not vaccinated did not contribute to the death. And the answer they get is, "I am sorry for your loss. The best thing you can do now is help educate your friends and family about getting vaccinated so we don't have to have this conversation again."
The fact is that over a million Americans have died of covid. A very significant number of them because they refused to be vaccinated. As Fasces points out a disproportionate number of Republicans because of the murderous political rhetoric begun by Trump and carried on by this sociopath followers. (Or just the really stupid ones if that is not too subtle a difference.)
There have been 225,000 Americans who have died of Covid 19 so far in 2022; the overwhelming majority of them preventable by a 15 minute trip to the grocery store/pharmacy, etc. And this vaccination is free.
So when you hear utterly stupid shit like the unfeeling and dangerous garbage that Ness is spreading just consider the source and resolve to not follow stupid people.
In June of 2021 the AMA published the results of a survey of their members. (Doctors.) At that time 96% of physicians were fully vaccinated and 45% of the remaining 4% doctors planned to be vaccinated.
Here is a headline from Forbes. Forbes is a business magazine with a mostly conservative point of view:
Fully vaccinated people are 93% less likely to die of COVID compared to unvaccinated people
Squares with my data.
But you make your choice Ness. The scar from the tracheotomy will heal if you live and you can cover it up with a scarf.
