    UAF Report - LOL

    You really should get your information from reliable mainstream sources rather than conspiracy websites.

    smallfil the troll without you renting free space in his head would have had very little knowledge about the Pandemic, Covid, or Vaccines.

    Simply, others and smallfil the troll would have been silent in their ignorance all the way to the hospital instead of arguing here at the forum via the façade that they can outsmart Covid and all of its future Variants of Concerns. :D

    Now that Omicron has appeared outside of North America in not vaccinated travelers...young adults...

    As we stated since last year, all the bullshit intentional ignorance will eventually catch up with everybody regardless of age. This is a very smart virus and it's slowly adapting every few months to include those that think they can't get infected to those that are ignorant.

    There's a reason why here in North America...most of the severe Covid infections result in hospitalization or death...

    The main reason is that they are not vaccinated. Yet, we still have effective approved antiviral therapeutic treatments to help those that become infected with Covid...ironically its a foreign substance being injected into the body in a dire situation in comparison to when the person could have been vaccinated.

    The United States:
    Currently, 777K deaths with several million that needed hospitalization to save their life from a severe Covid infection. As stated, these Variants of Concerns are adapting (getting smarter)...

    Protect your love ones and yourself.

    Guess the Ivermectin did nothing to save him...

    Man whose wife won a lawsuit to treat his COVID-19 with ivermectin has died
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...man-treated-covid-ivermectin-dies/6498445001/

    Keith Smith, whose wife had gone to court to have his COVID-19 infection treated with ivermectin, died Sunday evening, a week after he received his first dose of the controversial drug.

    He was 52.

    Smith was in a hospital in Pennsylvania for nearly three weeks and had been in the hospital’s intensive care unit in a medically induced coma on a ventilator since Nov. 21. He had been diagnosed with the virus on Nov. 10.

    His wife of 24 years, Darla, had gone to court to compel the hospital, UPMC Memorial, to treat her husband with ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that has not been approved for treatment of COVID-19.

    York County Court Judge Clyde Vedder’s Dec. 3 decision did not compel the hospital to treat Keith with the drug, but it did allow Darla to have an independent physician administer it. He received two doses before Keith’s condition grew worse, and the doctor halted the treatment.

    “Tonight, around 7:45 p.m., my precious husband breathed his last breath,” Darla wrote on the website caringbridge.org.

    He died with Darla and their two sons, Carter and Zach, at his bedside. Darla wrote they had time to speak to Keith, separately and as a group, before he passed away. “My boys are so strong,” she wrote. “They are my rock of solace.”

    'A Hail Mary'
    Darla sued UPMC to treat her husband with ivermectin after reading about similar cases throughout the country, all filed by an attorney in Buffalo, N.Y. She was assisted by a group called Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, which promotes the use of ivermectin in the treatment of the virus.

    He received his first dose on Dec. 5, two days after Vedder’s decision in the court case. After Keith received a second dose, the doctor overseeing the drug’s administration – a physician not affiliated with UPMC – ended the treatment as Keith’s condition deteriorated.

    Darla had written previously that she was unsure whether ivermectin could help her husband, but it was worth a try. The use of the drug was described as “a Hail Mary” intended as a last-ditch effort to save Keith’s life. She would not say whether her husband had been vaccinated.

    She was angry with UPMC for refusing to administer the treatment, forcing her to sue, and for delaying the treatment for two days as the hospital grappled with the meaning of the court order while Darla arranged to have an independent nurse administer the drug. Citing privacy laws, UPMC had previously declined to disclose details of the case or Keith’s treatment.

    She had kind words for the nurses at UPMC, writing “I still love you.” She wrote, “You cared for Keith for over 21 days. You dosed him with the medicines the doctors prescribed. You cleaned him and groomed him, moved him, propped him up, dealt with every mess, every smell, every trial. Everything. I appreciate you.

    “That’s all I’ll say about UPMC at this time,” she wrote. “You’re incredibly lucky to have the nurses you do, jackwads. Treat them better.”

    Health officials have not approved ivermectin to treat COVID-19
    Whether the drug is effective in treating COVID-19 is unproven, and studies cited by its proponents have been dismissed as being biased and including incomplete or nonexistent data.

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the use of the drug to treat COVID-19, and the National Institutes of Health does not recommend its use. It is not included in UPMC’s COVID-19 treatment protocols.

    A randomized clinical trial of ivermectin that was conducted in Brazil and presented earlier this year found no significant mortality benefit from taking the drug.

    The FDA has approved ivermectin to treat infections caused by certain parasites. A topical version is used to treat head lice and skin conditions such as rosacea.

    Deflated health care workers and desperate patients clash over alternative Covid treatments
    https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/24/us/doctors-patients-threats-coronavirus-treatments/index.html

    Dr. Jack Lyons remembers the pandemic's early days when grateful communities banged pots and pans to honor frontline health care workers.

    But now, faced with hostility just for trying to save his patients' lives, he says that, sadly, those days are long gone.

    Lyons is one of the many doctors and nurses tackling the rise in Covid-19 cases that are flooding hospitals as the Omicron variant rapidly spreads throughout the country.

    Now health care workers fighting on the front lines of the pandemic are also coming face to face with patients who dismiss and even threaten them over how they are being treated for the virus.

    "Folks act as if they can come in the hospital and request any certain therapy they want or conversely decline any therapy they want with the idea being that somehow they can pick and choose and direct their therapy. And it doesn't work," Lyons told CNN from the CentraCare hospital he works at in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

    As the highly transmissible Omicron variant, which has become the dominant strain in the US in a matter of weeks, drives up case counts, a newly fueled wave of misinformation about the pandemic and the vaccines designed to end it continues.

    From groundless conspiracy theories that the vaccines contain microchips or alter people's DNA to deliberate falsehoods about vaccine deaths and mask side effects, the pandemic misinformation industry is thriving.

    This dangerous misinformation has also led to a slew of lawsuits being filed against hospitals demanding unproven medical treatments, like Ivermectin. Health care providers are reporting growing hostility between medical workers and patients and their families.

    It's a constant dose of harassment and vitriol.

    "They insult your intelligence, they insult your ability, and most hurtful, they say that by not using these therapies you are intentionally trying to harm the people we've given everything to save," Lyons said.

    About 70% of the patients in Lyons' ICU are sick with Covid-19, and almost all of them are unvaccinated.
    Ivermectin is used to treat parasites such as worms and lice in humans and it is also used by veterinarians to deworm large animals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned about a sharp increase in reports of severe illness caused by the drug to poison centers.

    "The most difficult experience we've had is a patient's family who under a pseudonym had made threats against the hospital," Lyons said. "There was a reference to making sure the hospital was locked and we've got people that are coming for you."

    "I'm not sure how a person would take 'We're gonna come to that, we're gonna march on the hospital. We're coming for you' as anything other than a death threat," he added.

    Lyons knows that he meets people on their worst day. As a critical care physician, he and other health care workers have long experienced aggression from patients and their loved ones in the most desperate of circumstances.

    But Covid has made those conversations even tougher, especially now when so many of his patients are unvaccinated, distrustful of his experience, and demanding alternative treatments fueled by misinformation.

    "These are folks that are advocating for their loved ones that are on life support. And I have a tremendous amount of sympathy," he said.

    But he feels they've been manipulated by bad information and other doctors pushing treatments not rooted in evidence-based science, the most popular one being Ivermectin.

    "And those are the folks that I don't have any respect for -- the charlatans and the snake oil salesmen that are selling this," Lyons continued. "They're preying on people's hope and trying to take advantage of desperate families who would do anything to get their loved one home."

    "It's hurtful, we're exhausted, we're tired ..."
    Health care workers are so drained, they sometimes need encouragement to simply walk from their cars into their workplace, according to Barbara Chapman, a nurse practitioner who works at the University of Texas at Tyler.

    "It's like when a veteran comes back from the war, he may be out of the war, but he hasn't left that war," Chapman told Lavandera. "It's a battlefield."

    Last summer, Chapman helped start a hotline offering teachers and health care workers mental health support.

    Staggering numbers of health care workers -- more than one in five -- have experienced anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder during the pandemic, research published in March has revealed.

    Doctors and nurses throughout the country held out hope that the availability of vaccines, the most effective tool to prevent serious illness, would mean a gradual end to the horror.

    Instead, misinformation has led to many refusing to get vaccinated, distinguishing hopes that the country would reach herd immunity, the point at which enough people are protected against a disease that it cannot spread through the population.

    "We want to help folks. And now that folks aren't getting vaccinated, they're not believing us," Chapman said. "They're questioning our education and our background. It's hurtful, we're exhausted, we're tired, and so we have been morally injured in this outbreak."

    An emergency room physician who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation spoke about the immense frustration and burnout that doctors feel when dealing with patients who are demanding unproven treatments but continue to resist the vaccine.

    "I mean, can you imagine if a dentist had as many arguments about brushing teeth as we have about the COVID vaccine?" the doctor said. "There would be no f**king dentists."

    More than 69,700 Covid-19 patients were in US hospitals on Wednesday -- a number that's been trending up since it dipped to around 45,000 on November 8, according to Health and Human Services Department data.

    The US averaged 1,324 Covid-19 deaths a day over the last week, 11% higher than a week prior, according to Johns Hopkins.

    Concerns of a massive wave of health care workers quitting
    At the beginning of the pandemic, health care workers were willing to make life-changing sacrifices to help save lives amid a pandemic that changed the world.

    Many rented apartments and lived apart from their families to serve their patients. Residents threw parades for them to thank them for their work. They've reused PPE, canceled vacations and worked extended shifts for employers they don't always feel value their safety.

    But now, with the availability of vaccines that may be the only way to end the cycle of tragedy, many are concerned that health care workers, unappreciated and constantly facing threats, will finally say they've had enough.

    A study led by the American Medical Association examining the relationship between "COVID-related stress and work intentions of U.S. health care workers" has highlighted serious concern that the country might be on the brink of a "turnover wave" among the health care industry.

    The study found that 1 in 5 physicians and 2 in 5 nurses intend to leave their current practice within 2 years.

    Even Lyons, who has worked at the same hospital since the beginning of the pandemic, says it becomes increasingly difficult to stay optimistic.

    "It is frequently heartbreaking. It is demoralizing at times. We do our best to remain hopeful," he said. "But as the months grind on and we find ourselves more and more fatigued and more and more my colleagues leaving the profession. It gets harder and harder every day."
