Unvaccinated Who Have Fallen For Disinformation and Conspiracies Continue to Die From Covid-19

A 24 year old man just died in the hospital from Covid. Like many others who have fallen for myths and lies about the coronavirus and vaccines, he said the shots were poison and didn't take any of the facts about the deadly pandemic seriously. He spoke a bit before his death in the hospital, shown in link.

I recently heard on the local news about a mother of four who also was unvaccinated and died from Covid-19. She was an anti-vaxxer and Covid denier too. She did more harm to others because she was an activist who repeated posted false information about the virus and vaccines on social media, called the shots poison, bragged about her freedumb, etc. Her kids have no mom now, hopefully they are smarter than she was, I just looked online to find her story, but couldn't. May all who lost their lives to this deadly pandemic, vaccinated or not, rest in peace.

Our medical workers are worn out dealing with so many who refuse vaccines, overflow hospitals, take up beds needed by others, spread the virus, etc. That young man isn't the first one who finally spoke out while near death in the hospital. Too little too late to get this crucial message out. If we don't wake up and work together on fighting the spread of this disease, life will never get back to normal. Can't believe how many are fooled by conspiracies and myths.

Since you opened this can of worms i was going to post a video i saw a few days ago of Comedian, radio show/podcast host/author D.L. Hughley, a Covid-19 Survivor (who actually spread it to his team before he collapsed on stage ill with it). In it he talks about how it took centuries to eradicate Smallpox, but it was thanks to a vaccine, Polio is a thing of the past in USA thanks to a vaccine--it took decades but it happened, and then pleading with folks to take the Covid Vaccines.

But weirdly i can't find it either on YT or on the FB group i could have sworn i'd seen it on, will try again later--i have an appointment at 11. Oh but this story about backlash from some about his broadcast, which includes a lot of the stuff that stood out to me as good points.

 

Yes I saw Mr. Burshia's spot on Brian Williams show last night. He sounded like he was looking forward to getting out of the hospital. Then when Brian Williams said he died it was quite a shock. Poor guy.
 
If you're able to open this Washington Post article, it's worth reading, though heartbreaking. It describes the sacrifices and personal suffering being endured by medical personnel, and how many of them are getting burned out. Nearly all the Covid-19 patients are unvaccinated (of course!), there are not enough beds for other patients, and the medical staff are risking their own health and the health of their families at home. It never seems to end, or even improve much, as there are still too many who refuse vaccination and become critically ill. One doctor says, "Empathy fatigue is a real thing."

The link below has info on breakthrough cases below..

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html
Hospitalized or fatal COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases reported to CDC as of September 13, 2021

As of September 13, 2021, more than 178 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-1

During the same time, CDC received reports from 49 U.S. states and territories of 15,790 patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection who were hospitalized or died.

....also below that was a chart with a break down of the 15,790 breakthrough cases and 3040 deaths, most were people over 65.

Also the more cases we get the more contact we are going to have which means more internal infections and even more staffing shortages.

Also Kansas hospitals are starting to have difficulties getting oxygen shipments.

Those numbers would be in line with the stated efficacy rates for the vaccine. I will say this, I am surprised by the number of people I know personally who have experienced breakthrough infections -- usually fairly mild cases but it's still disturbing.

You know better than many of us here Marci. I agree, it's making a bad situation worse, but some people don't care or have been badly brainwashed by the nonsense spreading on biased conspiracy sites or dark areas of social media like facebook. They affect everyone when they don't think sensibly and act responsibility. :(

I don't know what percentage 15,790 is of 178 million, but looks very very small.

We were told up front what the success rate was with the different laboratories making these vaccines......none were 100%.

We knew the effectiveness wasn't 100% a long time ago, but if infected after the shot, chances are a milder case that wouldn't lead to hospitalization and death....good enough for me. We have a friend who gets annual flu shots religiously, every few years he gets a mild case of the flu. Very few things are 100%.
 
I watched someone in the military stating how he would never get the vaccine. No mention of all the vaccines I'm sure he got prior. I wonder why this one is so politicalized and polarizing.
 
The population of Alabama has actually decreased over the past year due to covid deaths. They have one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country (and also one of the lowest rates of higher education attainment). Deaths and people moving out of the state have exceeded births and people moving into the state.

I'll bet property is cheap down there. Considering the housing shortage and the ability of many people to work remotely, it might be a good time to invest in land in Alabama.

Yes indeed! Very few things are 100%. Let's just for fun compare the Covid Vaccine issue to when seatbelts in automobile was first introduced. Many similarities perhaps?

one of our unvaccinated coworkers has it right now. she's been to work spreading it around. i'm gonna be so mad if i get sick and have a $20,000 hospital bill (if i don't die) because of her.
 
This virus is NOT going away, any time soon....and it will probably continue to mutate into different forms. While there are certainly those who, because of underlying conditions, cannot be helped by these vaccines....the vast majority of people sharply reduce their risk by getting vaccinated.

In recent days, the rates of infections seem to be going down, in many locales....but this is probably just a "breather" before the next wave hits.

Watching these NFL football games on TV....with 70,000+ fans filling the stadiums, standing shoulder to shoulder, and shouting, I'll be surprised if this doesn't lead to another spike.

Good question.

The same thing is happening in Australia because of misinformation that has never been so prevalent. There have always been some people who could not be given certain vaccines, usually because of a severe allergy to something in the serum. People allergic to eggs for example could not receive serums where the pathogen was incubated in chicken eggs. This does not mean that the vaccine was 'poisonous' to everyone. It is not unusual to have a mild reaction to a vaccine. It is natural for the immune system to get to work. That is what the vaccine is supposed to do. This also is not proof that the vaccine is poisonous.

Trials are carried out to establish the positive and negative effects of vaccines compared to not being vaccinated at all. When the positives greatly outweigh the negatives and not being vaccinated, then for a really serious disease like Covid - 19 Delta, the choice is a no brainer as far as I am concerned. However, there is always some risk, just like the risk we willingly take every time we hail a taxi or board an aeroplane.
 
We have had the "Freedom Fighters" over here protesting that has turned to violence.
I am so glad I live in a rural area and far away from both Sydney and Melbourne.
This damn virus is here to stay, the sooner people realize that we have to live with it and get vaccinated the sooner things can return to this New Normal that we have been living with since this $hit Show begun.
