Not all those who choose not to get vaccinated do so out of sheer rebelliousness, some have legitimate concerns about what they put in their bodies, as well as experiences they have had with other vaccines. One thing is for sure, we have no idea about long term effects of the shots. Many also question the need for ingredients like Mercury and formaldehyde and parts of aborted babies. Simple injections of minute quantities of the virus should be sufficient to build up immunity to just about any virus.

I’m reposting this from our local NextDoor forum in the hope it illustrates the dire situation our hospitals and healthcare workers are facing and the need to do everything we can to stem the spread of this virulent disease:

“My experience last night working in the emergency department.

I have been an emergency room doctor for 13 years. Last night I was working in the ER in one of our neighboring counties. I had a patient who needed an emergent life-saving procedure that can generally only be done at a major medical center and requires a bed an ICU afterwards. After hours on the phone, I found that every single tertiary care hospital in NC’s medical ICUs are full. So full that they wouldn’t even put people on waitlist. So I did something I’ve never had to do before and started reaching out to hospitals in South Carolina and Virginia. Same situation. The small hospitals where I was working ICU is full and so many ICU level patients have to remain in the emergency department, or go to floors they had lower levels of care they deserved.

Recently a group of doctors in South Florida staged a 15 minute walk out to bring attention to the fact that they are hospitals are so overwhelmed that they can’t take care of patients with simple medical problems like appendicitis or heart attacks (don’t worry, there were still doctors in the hospital taking care of patients during the walk out). I’m worried that we are fast approaching it’s kind of cliff in our area.

The simple, non-political fact is the healthcare system is being overwhelmed by Covid and that more than 98% percent of admitted Covid patients are unvaccinated. (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/10/us/covid-breakthrough-infections-vaccines.html).

This is not hate for unvaccinated people, but rather a plea to be part of the solution rather than one of the statistics. It’s now clear that our choices are strongly affecting other people.

I’m sure this is going to generate a bunch of unkind responses, but I feel like providing an honest picture of what’s happening in the hospital right now is worth risking the ire of social media. But please, before you hit that reply button to type something snarky, consider what I am spending my days and nights doing, and whether or not it’s something you would say to me to my face.

Praying for you to stay well and be courageous in your choices. If you have honest questions about the vaccine, please PM me and I will try to answer as many as I have time to.”

Mercury, formaldehyde and parts of aborted babies in the Covid vaccinations? You are mixing up preservatives in older vaccines and misinformation about stem cell research with the mRNA vaccine, and as far as injecting minute quantities of the virus, I suggest. some reading on other vaccines (not Covid) using attenuated viruses and the techniques involved. I do understand being concerned with what goes in your body, but (a) there have been over 300 million of the vaccines administered over a 6 month period - likely the largest clinical trial in history (b) the Pfizer vaccine now had full FDA approval after extensive testing (c) the Covid mRNA vaccine is not the same as older vaccines that you may have had a reaction to, and (d) we’re learning a great deal about the long term effects of contracting Covid, and it’s not pretty - those are facts not conjecture.

I would just add that anyone who has served in the military has had a large number of vaccines administered without the opportunity to decide whether or not to be vaccinated. Comparisons (not in your post) about loss of freedoms, government mandates, (one post even likened it to Nazi Germany’s Authoritarian regime) are just not applicable. When you join the military (which has been the bulwark for our national freedom), you give up some personal freedoms for the greater good, just as you give up some personal freedoms to live in a society, drive a car or any number of other activities, yet we do all those things willingly.

Opps, my bad, I forgot to exclude the ivermectin which is a veterinary de-worming med.

But Hydroxichloroquin is being widely used for treatment of Covid-19 with the medical establishment in some countries swearing by it and even making it "over the counter" in a few places in the hopes of keeping people out of the hospitals in the first place. And for decades it has been around and used to treat or help prevent malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Most of those who have been using it for those things say it is almost side effect free except for the rare individuals who have an allergy to it. It has been around so long it is available all over the place in some parts of the world and dirt cheap. To quote the Ferengi in Star Trek "No Profit".

The Hydroxichloroquin got jumped on by the Anti-Trump types because he mentioned it. If the great Demon Trump mentions or likes something it has to wrong or bad, right!
