Here in America we are continually told that nearly everyone hospitalized for the Fauci-Wuhan Virus is unvaxxed. This is becoming more and more unbelievable when we see figures from around the world. For example, M. Dowling in the Independent Sentinel writes:
“Victoria [Australia] Health Minister Foley announced 867 new COVID cases were recorded yesterday. Foley said 375 people are hospitalized, 81 people are in intensive care and 61 people are on a ventilator. Among the recorded cases, “78% of the hospital cases are fully vaccinated, and 17% are partially vaccinated (1 dose).’”
https://www.independentsentinel.com/78-of-victoria-aussies-hospitalized-with-cov-are-fully-vaccinated-another17-took-one-dose/
So how can American percentages be so different? One possibility is that since patients who become ill less than 14 days after their second shot are considered unvaccinated, therefore if someone’s illness is actually caused by the clot shot, they would be considered unvaccinated. As the symptoms from the vaccination-produced spikes may be similar to those from the virus, it seems likely that they would be considered virus cases rather than vax cases. Or maybe they are just plain lying to us. There are medical people who say that the hospitals are not full of virus cases—they are full of vax-caused illness.
Obviously the so-called vaccine does not prevent spreading or hospitalization—nor do masks or “social distancing.” Yet our tyrannical politicians, fake news media, and the medical establishment persist in forcing these same worthless remedies on us. Actually the “vaccines” are worse than worthless, as a number of experts are telling us that more people are dying from the “vaccines” than from the virus.
The solution to the spreading virus is obvious from seeing what is happening in a number of countries—especially in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which is nearly Covid-free. TrialSite News wrote:
“The proactive use of Ivermectin, included in a home health care kit, showed to be instrumental in combating the incredibly virulent and transmissible strain of SARS-CoV-2. Public health workers made continuous visits to homes in villages and districts across the state, proactively testing and treating the condition immediately, including household contacts. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) praised the effort, yet omitted the use of Ivermectin—a scandal.”

Are any politicians out there paying attention? Especially you, Governor DeSantis. If Florida copied Uttar Pradesh and became nearly free of the Fauci-Wuhan Virus, it would be an example other states would be forced to follow—and perhaps make DeSantis the foremost leader in the land.
But NBC(and Biden)says,"The unvaxxed are the troublemakers for everyone else."
ReplyDeleteThat's all you hear--one sided coverage.
Just like most cops are bad,Whites are racist and blacks are wonderful.

Making rational, medical/epidemiological arguments against what's going on has not worked to date; I do not expect that to change -- in fact, social media sites have only become more extreme in their efforts to censor such dissent, no matter the nature of it, i.e. how well-supported.
ReplyDeleteFrom day one I've looked at COVID as primarily a political phenomenon: a matter of personal freedom, especially freedom from government coercion in everyday life -- and now since the introduction of the vaccine, it's also/has become a matter of medical freedom of choice.
After all of this, no western nation should ever call itself 'free' again.

ReplyDeleteTotal number of ICU beds in the US:
792,417 total hospital beds
55,663 medical/surgical ICU beds
15,160 cardiac care unit beds
7,419 other ICU beds
22,721 neonatal ICU beds
5,115 pediatric ICU beds
25,157 step down unit beds

Here is an interesting excerpt from the article which was published 10/20:
Lastly, the hospital should examine the acuity of patients in the ICU when determining whether ICU beds should be increased. A 2013 study of ICU occupancy and ventilator use in the U.S. found that the mean percentage of ICU patients on a ventilator at any given time was 40%. If a hospital’s ICU ventilated patient percentage averages less than this, then it may not need additional ICU beds. However, if the percentage of ICU patients on a ventilator is > 40%, then more ICU beds may be needed.
A hospital needs to have the correct number of intensive care unit beds to support its operating rooms and general nursing units. There also needs to be sufficient ICU beds regionally to support the community’s need to care for the sickest patients. ICUs are expensive and the specialized staff it takes to care for patients in ICUs are even more expensive. However, the DRG reimbursement for these patients is high and so ICUs can be financially lucrative for a hospital. When hospitals plan bed expansion, it must be done with the right balance of ICU to non-ICU beds in mind.
"DRG reimbursement for these patients is high and so ICUs can be financially lucrative for a hospital"
Very interesting that ICU's can be considered financially profitable, could be motivating for the hospital industry to find more Covid patients?
The damned shots are working only marginally. This is going to go on forever.

ReplyDeleteDid a little research on what DRG reimbursement is and what I found was very interesting:
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/cms-hikes-payment-for-covid-19-19452/
https://www.verywellhealth.com/how-does-a-drg-determine-how-much-a-hospital-gets-paid-1738874
From the article:
CMS said Oct. 28 that Medicare will pay hospitals extra when they treat inpatients with drugs or biologicals approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for COVID-19. The additional payments are linked to the 20% bonus hospitals already receive for COVID-19 MS-DRGs, and both require proof of a positive COVID-19 test, according to the fourth interim final rule with comment period (IFC).[1] CMS also raised the specter of post-payment reviews.
Hospitals will receive an additional payment when treatment includes Veklury (remdesivir) or COVID-19 convalescent plasma to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Like a new technology add-on payment, the cost of the drug won’t be entirely folded into the MS-DRG.
The only hitch is hospitals must ensure they make a connection to the Medicare bonus for COVID-19 inpatients, said attorney Daniel Hettich, with King & Spalding in Washington, D.C. “You have to be eligible for the 20% add-on to get the new therapeutic add-on,” he said. “If you don’t have a positive test, you don’t qualify for the new treatment add-on payment.”
Normally, Medicare outlier payments, which are extra payments for cases with extraordinarily high costs, only kick in after the hospital has incurred $30,000 in costs above the MS-DRG payment. In other words, under the standard outlier rules, a hospital would only receive 80% of the costs that exceed $30,000 of the IPPS payment, which means that hospitals eat the first $30,000 in losses. Under the IFC, however, when hospitals provide remdesivir or COVID-19 convalescent plasma and the patient has a positive COVID-19 test, Medicare will share in 65% of the first dollar losses that exceed the MS-DRG reimbursement up to the $30,000 outlier threshold.
Sounds like strong financial incentive for hospitals to have lots of positive tests and keep patients in ICU as long as possible to rack up costs and get past that 30K threshold so they can get into the black.

ReplyDeleteWith enough non-compliance, including vaccine refuseniks, it would end practically overnite.
SHORTAGES STARTING TO APPEAR AT MANY SUPERMARKETS
ReplyDeleteGRA:The last 4-6 weeks,I've noticed the disappearance of many products from store shelves.It appears to be worsening in my part of Grand Rapids.
Here's a list of items I can't find anymore:
Lower Sugar Gatorade(all flavors.)One month.
Aunt Millie's English Muffins--two weeks.
Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves--a month.
Pedialyte--two weeks.
Lean Cuisine(Stouffers)Steak Portibella--6 weeks.
Paper Towels/toilet paper are getting hoarded to some extent,not quite as bad as the beginning of 2020.
And what they DO have in stock have risen in price by at least 10 to 20%.
Cheap bread has jumped from .89 a loaf to 1.59.
Stouffers dinners went from 2.00 to 3.00 dollars per dinner.
Potatoes from 3.99 to 5.99 a bag.Supposedly,Burger King cannot find potatoes to make fries in some areas.
Margarine from 2.50 to 3.69 a container.
Paper plates used to be 4.99--now 6.99 for 50 plates.
Canned salmon WAS 5.99 a can--now 8.99.
Ask a store manager and they blame bottlenecks,lack of product being shipped and basically Covid keeping people from going to work at various food plants where these products are made.
You have to wonder what kind of winter it's going to be and if Biden will do anything about it(you almost think they WANT more chaos and food shortages.)

SUPPLY CHAIN COLLAPSE NEAR,DUE TO PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS
ReplyDeleteGRA:This goes with my report on grocery shortages.
(Epoch Times)Several industry groups have warned world leaders of a worldwide supply-chain “system collapse” due to pandemic restrictions, coming as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell suggested that the current period of higher inflation will last until 2022.
The International Chamber of Shipping, a coalition of truck drivers, seafarers, and airline workers, has warned in a letter to heads of state attending the United Nations General Assembly that governments need to restore freedom of movement to transportation workers amid persistent COVID-19 restrictions and quarantines.
If nothing is done, they warned of a “global transport system collapse” and suggested that “global supply chains are beginning to buckle as two years’ worth of strain on transport workers take their toll,” according to the letter. It was signed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Road Transport Union (IRU), and the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), which represent some 65 million transport workers around the world.
“All transport sectors are also seeing a shortage of workers, and expect more to leave as a result of the poor treatment millions have faced during the pandemic, putting the supply chain under greater threat,” the letter said. “We also ask that WHO and the ILO raise this at the U.N. General Assembly and call on heads of government to take meaningful and swift action to resolve this crisis now,” they wrote.
Meanwhile, retailer Costco said it’s chartering its own container ships between Asia and North America amid supply chain issues worldwide, Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti said in a recent conference call.
Costco, he said, is dealing with “port delays, container shortages, COVID disruptions, shortages on various components, raw materials and ingredients, labor cost pressures” along with “trucks and driver shortages,” Fox News reported.Several industry groups have warned world leaders of a worldwide supply-chain “system collapse” due to pandemic restrictions, coming as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell suggested that the current period of higher inflation will last until 2022.

Comment from ZH on Biden having "a plan" to combat food shortages:
ReplyDeleteXiden's also formed a new White House Competition Council to “make the food system fairer™ and more equitable™.....
i.e. 'starve whitey'
GRA:The poster is probably right.
