#1 Doctors in North Texas claim they are NOT considering COVID-19 patients' vaccination status in deciding who gets an ICU bed

#2 The patients we are seeing in North Texas hospitals that end up hospitalized for respiratory support due to Covid19 Pneumonia are unvaccinated. Oddly enough, they are almost all between 20's and 50's. The 65+ crowd that showed in large numbers last year (and died) aren't in this wave. Seems Texas vaccinated nearly all the 60+ folks. Source: I work in utilization management for a large insurance company so we get all the hospitalization authorization requests, and that's my region. The numbers aren't as bad as last year, but they have definitely jumped, but not among the vaccinated.

People, get your shots if not otherwise contraindicated. You're taking a massive unnecessary risk of serious illness if you do not. The numbers do not lie.

#3 And don't believe the hype on masks. If its not an N-95 type mask/respirator, then its just decoration! Especially useless are all the neck gaiters and fancy designed cloth masks. Get the vax, it works well enough to either prevent getting infected or else reduce the severity if you do get a variant. Masks do not.

#4 This theme is in constant rotation on National People's Radio. Each newscast has a tragic tale of patients who regret not getting vaccinated.

#5 Well what did they expect?
The media made front page news of every adverse side effect or allergic reaction
Which was their perverse Trump bashing and now they are making every breakthrough case headlines without mentioning what this doctor is saying. The vaccine reduces COVID to Avery bad head cold
They want to lake the adverse side effects and breakthrough infection Trump’s fast tracking of the vaccine and portray all of the unvaccinated as ignorant knuckle dragging Trump supporters
But yet they appear dismayed by people refusing the vaccine?

#6 Our local news has interviewed the CMO of both of our regional hospitals. Unvaxxed make up a large percentage of those hospitalized. Multiple under 30 deaths from Covid

#7 Looks like about 11% of the hospitalizations are of vaccinated patients compared with about 33% of the population so on the grossest level vaccination reduces risk of hospitalization by about 2/3. Pretty significant but by no means perfect.

#8 New? User Maggie Stalin3718 shows up claiming access to secret data. These data contradict generally accepted facts (people under 40 with no comorbidities have low risk of COVID hospitalization) but corroborates a story from a compromised source (MSM). Anyone buying this?

#9 Anyone buying this?

It quit being serious at Refuseniks (DM's headline) and became a hit piece. Furious and Haunting seems to be the current tiktok theme.

#10 If they didn't have the Vaccine - it *must* be COVID-19
If they did have the Vaccine - it must be the plain ordinary Flu.
