Coronavirus

But really isn’t it natural to regret something after the fact
Over eating as you take a heart attack
Smoking after the diagnosis
Laying in the sun after the spot appears

just stop with the fear mongering
I'll continue my fear mongering as long as you continue with your stupidity

Dr. Brytney Cobia said Monday that all but one of her COVID patients in Alabama did not receive the vaccine. The vaccinated patient, she said, just needed a little oxygen and is expected to fully recover. Some of the others are dying.

“I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections,” wrote Cobia, a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, in an emotional Facebook post Sunday. “One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.”


Three COVID-19 vaccines have been widely available in Alabama for months now, yet the state is last in the nation in vaccination rate, with only 33.7 percent of the population fully vaccinated. COVID-19 case numbers and hospitalizations are surging yet again due to the more contagious Delta variant of the virus and Alabama’s low vaccination rate.

For the first year and a half of the pandemic, Cobia and hundreds of other Alabama physicians caring for critically ill COVID-19 patients worked themselves to the bone trying to save as many as possible.


“Back in 2020 and early 2021, when the vaccine wasn’t available, it was just tragedy after tragedy after tragedy,” Cobia told AL.com this week. “You know, so many people that did all the right things, and yet still came in, and were critically ill and died.”


In the United States, COVID is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated, according to the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Alabama, state officials report 94% of COVID hospital patients and 96% of Alabamians who have died of COVID since April were not fully vaccinated.


“A few days later when I call time of death,” continued Cobia on Facebook, “I hug their family members and I tell them the best way to honor their loved one is to go get vaccinated and encourage everyone they know to do the same.”


“They cry. And they tell me they didn’t know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color they wouldn’t get as sick. They thought it was ‘just the flu’. But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back. But they can’t. So they thank me and they go get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death note, and say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives.”


More than 11,400 Alabamians have died of COVID so far, but midway through 2021, caring for COVID patients is a different story than it was in the beginning. Cobia said it’s different mentally and emotionally to care for someone who could have prevented their disease but chose not to.


“You kind of go into it thinking, ‘Okay, I’m not going to feel bad for this person, because they make their own choice,’” Cobia said. “But then you actually see them, you see them face to face, and it really changes your whole perspective, because they’re still just a person that thinks that they made the best decision that they could with the information that they have, and all the misinformation that’s out there.


“And now all you really see is their fear and their regret. And even though I may walk into the room thinking, ‘Okay, this is your fault, you did this to yourself,’ when I leave the room, I just see a person that’s really suffering, and that is so regretful for the choice that they made.”
 
So for the two weeks prior to 7/16 report the vaccine death toll passed the Covid death toll by 174, 2092 to 1918 according to VAERS I just read for the US.

Fact Checkers welcomed.
 
could you post the link or links to this "vaccine death toll?" I can not find anything even coming close.
the Onion ? Gateway Pundit ? I did find this: COVID-19 Vaccine Related Fatalities Exceed 12,000 (Updated) While definitely not a scientific poll or study, lol, I am aware of several people who died from the china virus but no one who got sick for more than a day after the vaccine.

Seriously, I read something like this but what I read explained further that the majority of these alleged vaccine deaths were people with multiple comorbidities. Does anyone here know of anyone who died after the vaccine, especially anyone supposedly of normal health. Going a step further, does anyone here NOT know of someone who died from the china virus ?
 
what that says is that the vaccine prevents severe illness or death.

The people who die following the vaccine are largely those in high risk and advanced age who would die anyway from health problems etc. So geniuses it says that people will still die who get the vaccine because your health problems don't go away and there is no link that the vaccine directly caused the death........

Since we have a large part of the elderly/high risk people vaccinated , we still have the natural number of deaths as usual in that group.....and that's what I got to say bout dat!!

Ah so co morbiditits are important
I’m this example

but not in relation to actual Covid deaths

Please try and at least pretend to be consistent
 
While I see your point I think whatever inconsistency you feel I stated is overshadowed by what MTB indicated, people in high risk, old age, etc. are going to die anyway, vaccinated or not. Please take care of your hypertension, emphysema, obesity or whatever you have so that we can continue to be inspired by your posts.
