Polio, Measles, Flu, and Smallpox are better comparisons involving the financial costs to Covid plus there have been inflation-adjusted cost analyses for such types of comparison. The trillion dollar legislature Covid costs were approved last year under the Trump administration. We're now dealing with those costs in trying to figure out a way to pay it before the bill is due under the Biden administration... The bill will always be due. The day we get vaccines for HIV to go along with the current therapeutic treatments...we can then do proper comparisons with costs associated with vaccines / therapeutic treatments / government debts associated with Covid. Everybody has their interest...mine involves the public records of Democrats / Republicans that made investments in big pharma in the few months prior to the Pandemic and during the Pandemic of Operation Warp Speed and then see what committees they sit on...how they voted on any Covid legislature. wrbtrader
New York Times issues massive correction after overstating COVID hospitalizations among children Paper added over 800,000 to total of kids hospitalized with coronavirus https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-york-times-massive-correction-covid-hospitalizations-children
Listen dumbass: 1. Don't quote Faux News, they are an entertainment channel. 2. How can they overstate it, if they had to add 800K? They obviously understated it. But of course there are no news editors at FN just propagandists. How about this similar news?: Florida understates their daily death number by 200 or so deaths.
If you're going to blame Fox News for something, blame them for having a misleading sub-headline. It should read, "Paper erroneously added over 800,000 to total of kids hospitalized with coronavirus." Read the article to bring it into context. They overstated it.
"I’m a Covid nurse. I had a vaxxed patient last week. It was my first one, so it was memorable. He actually went home fairly quickly. He hadn’t gotten the booster and was vaxxed very early on. (Plus, he was very advanced in his years and had diabetes, which he hadn’t been controlling. Plus, he was obese and didn’t control his BP. Etc.) But he did fine and went home. He actually left on room air, which is unusual for our patients. Even the young guys normally have to go home on an oxygen bottle. All my other patients have been unvaccinated. I wish everyone could do a couple shifts in a Covid unit and watch exactly what these people go through. In short, it’s freaking terrible. It’s terrible enough to watch it, let alone experience it. It’s not fair. It eats the young too. It eats athletes who have never been hospitalized in their lives. You feel for them. The fact that they’re unvaccinated makes it not one bit easier to watch them suffer and realizing that their lives are entirely changed, perhaps forever. People regularly rip off their oxygen, because they’re just so miserable and want to escape the torture. It makes a nurse feel pretty darn guilty. We have no magic drugs. We feel super helpless. We don’t know the answers to the questions, such as ‘will I ever be able to work the same job I did before? Or will I be on oxygen forever? How will I support my kids now?’ And ‘why me? My brothers/cousins/friends/etc all got the virus and didn’t get this sick. So why me.’ We do not know. I feel like it’s largely useless to explain to people that they really don’t want to go through this crap. Vaccines aren’t perfect. I did have a vaxxed patient last week, after all! But the vaccines seem to up one’s chances significantly. And it’s not life versus death. There’s a huge range of middle ground. Most of us don’t wanna live on a bottle or with the horrible impact of the blood clots and anoxia (lost limbs, kidney damage, brain damage, heart damage, etc.) I wish everyone could see it, because it sucks when people are regretting their decision to not get vaxxed. In the end, they are left holding the bag."
Billions of doses of Ivermectin have been prescribed to humans for 40 years. The discoverer won the Nobel Peace prize. How about that smarty pants?
You keep posting these supposed life stories from anonymous "nurses". I could post stories with exact opposite outcomes but not anonymous. I wonder if in the story above they give the "unvaccinated" Remdesivir, lie them on their back for three days, and then wonder why they develop kidney failure and pneumonia. Also, the CDC does not consider people vaccinated until 15 days after the second dose. So if you get COVID 10 days after the second dose, you are considered unvaccinated. I guess that's one way to run up the numbers.
Not Vaccinated = An individual that has not been vaccinated...no jab. Partially Vaccinated = For two-dose vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), you’re considered “partially vaccinated” if you’ve received just one dose or if two weeks haven’t yet passed since your second dose. For a one-dose vaccine (Johnson and Johnson (J&J)/Janssen), you’re considered “partially vaccinated” if two weeks haven’t yet passed since you got your shot. Fully Vaccinated = An individual that has had all the required doses for the designated vaccine and the required two weeks have passed. Thus, family members or news media report a story of a fully vaccinated person becoming infected with Covid or dying from Covid as a fully vaccinated person...the CDC will classify that person in their statistics as partially vaccinated if the person was infected before the required two weeks has passed. In contrast, the family and news media will continue to say the person was fully vaccinated. ---------- When You Are Fully Vaccinated People are considered fully vaccinated: 2 weeks after their second shot in a 2-dose series, like the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or 2 weeks after a single-shot vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine COVID-19 vaccines are not interchangeable. If you received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, you should get the same product for your second shot. You are not fully vaccinated if: it has been less than 2 weeks since your 1-dose shot it has been less than 2 weeks since your second shot of a 2-dose vaccine you still need to get your second dose of a 2-dose vaccine Booster shots are now available to specific groups of people. However, everyone is still considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a 2-shot series, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as the J&J/Janssen vaccine. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/second-shot.html ---------- wrbtrader
