Omicron "variant of concern"
- Thread starter outside shooter
- Start date
Absolutely correct.
Here is an excerpt from the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization announcement in December 2020:
"The vaccine was 95% effective in preventing COVID-19 disease among these clinical trial participants..."
FDA Takes Key Action in Fight Against COVID-19 By Issuing Emergency Use Authorization for First COVID-19 Vaccine
Today, the FDA issued the first EUA for a vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older.
95% immunity ain't 100% immunity, at least to those of us that can understand third grade math.
One, I'm not a ma'am, and two you have to be an idiot, sorry, just said it! Believe what you want to believe, I don't know you and I don't really care if you die, but no well wishes on that if you are that f'n stupid!
You are on this board so I will never have to worry about being the least intelligent poster.
Just so you know, you can't get covid over the internet.
See, even idiots like you can learn something new
An IU Health spokesman also just said there is a shortage of monoclonal antibodies, they cannot prescribe it to all the people that need it.
Does it matter why there are not enough beds, there are not enough.
Too much administration. Going to have to get some of those Nurses back on the floor.
18% of healthcare workers have quit jobs during pandemic: Morning Consult
Since February 2020, nearly 1 in 5 healthcare workers, or 18 percent, have quit their jobs, according to new poll results from Morning Consult, a global privately held data intelligence company.
We had a known nursing shortage going back 10 years. 20% more quit, mostly over burnout.
I know a ton of nurses. A ton! They work a 3 day week. 3 - 12 hour shifts. What more can be done? It only takes two years at a juco to be a nurse.18% of healthcare workers have quit jobs during pandemic: Morning Consult

Those numbers aren’t remotely accurate for the variants. That was against original strain.Absolutely correct.

It kinda matters. The narrative from media is that the beds are full of COVID patients. In reality it’s due to the staff missing from quarantine (due to infection, exposure, testing, etc). The narrative is incorrect.
Again, if we’re testing asymptomatic HCPs we’re continuing to shoot ourselves in the foot.

Yeah my friends work at the biggest hospital in Saint Louis. They aren't Covid patients
Both are accurate. IU Health says they have more people now than last January's wave (general hospital).
Let us go to Aloha's career. A person can say on a ship with a hole, "we are taking on too much water and will sink". Someone might correct them and say the ship is overcrowded and that is the problem. It really doesn't matter, the main point is the ship is sinking.
The local hospital started requiring a bs a few years ago. Let a bunch of Rn’s and LPNs walk. Now they’re offering them 20 grand sign on bonus. A lot have told them to shove it.18% of healthcare workers have quit jobs during pandemic: Morning Consult

2 points
1) I hate the media. As we've discussed a headline can read hospital Y is overwhelmed with Covid patients. In truth they had 30 beds. 28 with non Covid patients and added 3 Covid patients. Now they are overwhelmed. Technically true but fear porn.
2) Something has to change in care. Licensing, waivers, qualifications, borders, pay, something.

they should explain the hypothesis behind this. Nobody was vaccinated last January and now 70% of the country is. If the vaccine is supposed to keep people out of the hospital - which it is - then they should explain.
There can be a litany of reasons for surges in hospitals. If it’s COVID then the vaccine doesn’t work - and we know that’s not true.
After admitting the numbers were accurate as released for the original strain, why do you try to create a false issue by saying they weren't applicable to the variants that came along several months later? No one is claiming they were.
The point was that nobody ever claimed the vaccine was 100% effective in preventing Covid.
Trump now says, "the vaccine works," and that should be enough for all the doubters.
Trump touts effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccine
Former President Donald Trump pushed back on a questioner's skepticism about the effectiveness and safety of the Covid-19 vaccine in a new interview, saying that the "vaccine works" and "people aren't dying when they take the vaccine."
www.cnn.com
We were told by the CDC in May that the vaccinated can return to normal life. Revisionist history to claim they disclaimed anything
They still say the vast majority are unvaccinated. Add in that Delta spread more easily than Alpha.
We might hit this with omicron, if it is half as dangerous but four times easier to spread, what happens?
Really? No one ever said the vaccines weren’t 100%? Ok.
President Biden says getting vaccinated 'gigantically important'
Expressing frustration over the slowing COVID-19 vaccination rate, President Biden made a renewed plea for Americans to step up and get inoculated against the virus as it surges once again, almost entirely among unvaccinated populations.

They are admitting patients that they would’ve sent home previously
That’s not to say there aren’t some really sick patients right now.
As Marv said, mostly unvaccinated
It matters because they’re firing nurses that aren’t vaccinated. They worked through the worst of pandemic and many have natural immunity. So yea it matters the shortage isn’t beds.
Everybody see this? aajohn posted a link that doesn't prove or even mention what he claimed.Really? No one ever said the vaccines weren’t 100%? Ok.
