Unfortunately, to non-clinical readers like me, these are just numbers. It would be more meaningful if the IBJ’s reporting on COVID-19 focused more on hospitalizations (not cases) and the percentage of hospitalizations that involve individuals who are not fully vaccinated vs. those who are. This would tell a clearer story and perhaps prevent hysteria from taking hold.
There have been numerous news stories from hospitals proclaiming they are full, and the percentages of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated are only published weekly by the state of Indiana.
Here’s a sampling of IBJ headlines over the last few days. Are you unable to figure out what’s going on just from reading the headlines?
Doctors bemoan limited supply of game-changing antiviral pills amid winter surge
COVID case counts losing some importance amid omicron
Indiana National Guard to help at Riley Hospital, beleaguered with COVID patients
Indiana limits COVID rapid-test availability at state, local testing sites
Statewide hospitalizations from COVID-19 continue to climb
FDA expands Pfizer boosters for more teens as omicron surges
The unvaccinated are nothing but a drain on society, by their own choice….
Truth.
We can end all of this nonsense very quickly by admitting the reality, we can’t save everyone and we must ration care based on who is most likely to survive. Clinically, those who are unvaccinated are suffering the worst outcomes and consuming the most resources on their way to the morgue.
Yes, that’s brutal but the numbers don’t lie and the cost to society to save every life is immense. We will all suffer for many years to replace the health care workers who have quit forever due to the pandemic.
Now [insert] another category:
– elderly
– obese
– smokers
– drug abusers
Example: the “elderly” are a drain on society as they account for over 35% of healthcare spending and a majority of spend in the last few years of life. They consume the most resources and suffer the worst outcomes on the way to the morgue.
FluRona – a pandemic of the obese and comorbidity population
As I’ve said before, you can use statistics to prove most any premise if you focus your sample size and selection criteria.
Which of those categories have driven numerous HCP’s from the field over the past 24 months and driven every hospital in town to diversion?
All because they believe the horse hockey that you help spread. A couple simple shots and none of this would have happened.
Joe – your “couple of shots” and none of this would have happened is another false statement.
Parroting statements like “HCPs quitting” from whatever progressive news source isn’t accurate. It just serves an agenda of let’s chase this with a vaccine. It’s not working. 2 years has proven that.
Political “Science.”
2 years has proven what, other than you simply call false all news you don’t like and despite claiming you work in health care, you have no idea how science works?
You can’t just Todd Rokita your way through life.
If you have the vaccine this amounts to essentially a cold. Why people cannot figure that out by now is mind numbing.
Same for the unvaccinated under the age of 70, statistically.
Just think how lucky this guy was to be one of the 99.4% that survive. He can almost walk by himself again!
“Muncie man home after 158-day COVID-19 battle”
“ Jeff tells WRTV they are not anti-vaccine but weren’t sure about it and wanted to see the data.
…
Jeff has now gotten his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
“That’s the last part really of my rehab is to get stronger, to get out and tell my story to people and preach – get the vaccine.”
Hell of a way to learn a lesson.

Keep moving the goal posts without any transparency in data to the public.

Nice of you to admit your news sources are not only …out there, they’re also supported by the Russians.
You’re getting played by Putin. Now I understand why you don’t post links to your stuff.
“For those who remember, on October 11, 2018, Facebook and Twitter — without warning or justification — deleted the pages of Free Thought Project and Police the Police which had over 5 million followers. During this purge, they also removed hundreds of other pages who had massive followings like the Antimedia, Cop Block, and Filming Cops.
The owners of these pages would eventually find out that the secret hand behind this massive purge was tied to government via the Atlantic Council.
As we previously reported, the Atlantic Council is the group that NATO uses to whitewash wars and foster hatred toward Russia, which in turn allows them to continue to justify themselves. It’s funded by arms manufacturers like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing. It is also funded by billionaire oligarchs like the Ukraine’s Victor Pinchuk and Saudi billionaire Bahaa Hariri and the US government.
Instead of taking this censorship move lying down, TFTP co-founder, Jason Bassler and Conscious Resistance founder, Derick Broze organized the United for Common Ground summit in Houston to plan a strategy to fight back.”

Yep, I’m being played by Putin.
Or maybe that little snippet is a perfect example of the dialogue from Fauci, the CDC, etc and their constantly changing “scientific” narrative.
We in healthcare are really thankful Joe that you have found all the answers.
They seem to be working well at the hospitals I’m at each week.
Quad boosted yet?
Not yet. Then again, I’ve got 4 polio shots in me already (and numerous more flu shots) so it wouldn’t be the first time. I know, that’s different. Sure it is. Keep telling yourself that.
I know don’t have all the answers, but I know the places you’re looking for them are trash. Unless maybe you agree with their thoughts on chemtrails or Seth Rich. And that took me all of 3 minutes to figure out. Apparently “do your own research” doesn’t apply when you like what it says?
Russia (and China) know they can’t keep up with America. Their vaccines are a failure compared to what America has access to with our mRNA vaccines. And if you can’t keep up with America, tearing America back down to their level has been their game for some time.
