And “The numbers of deaths for covid 19 are so skewed it’s unbelievable, if a person has serious illnesses and dies they get test for covid, if positive even with no symptoms cause of death is covid.” You don’t believe they died of COVD19, or at all, but you believe the doctors are violating reporting guidelines? “When COVID-19 is reported as a cause of death on the death certificate, it is coded and counted as a death due to COVID-19. COVID-19 should not be reported on the death certificate if it did not cause or contribute to the death.” https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/covid-19.htm#understanding-death-data-quality AND “the government has promoted and allowed misleading numbers as well as hidden all the reported side effects some have experienced.” Tell us if you ACTUALLY know of any not openly listed here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html AND: “Remember this is an experimental drug that has not been FDA approved, why is that, if it’s that effective it should be.” Not quite true. FDA DID approve it under Emergency Use Authorization. It has already been found to be safe and effective in small trials and a large trial at least 2 months, NOW OVER TEN MONTHS since they continue to monitor the first recipients and everyone since then. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/vaccines/emergency-use-authorization-vaccines-explained But go with your gut.

In the medical profession, we value the health of our individual patients and the community as a whole. Those of us who have been on the front lines since COVID began can provide you with the facts and available data regarding COVID- as we have been following the research daily for 16 months. Our families missed us as we were unable to visit for nearly a year until vaccine became available. And many of us were first in line for vaccination due to the risks that our positions posed. We also needed the vaccine so that staff remained available to staff the medical infrastructure here. We struggled to breath behind double masks and face shields for 12 hours with little breaks. We made alternate childcare arrangements due to the exposure risks that having our children in daycare posed. We lived in a bubble...only work and home, for months on end so that we were able to show up at work the next day to continue to fight the battle. Finally, increasing vaccination rates and subsequent decreases in local cases provided some respite from the suffering that we were witnessing through our COVID patients and their loved ones. Then the Delta variant made its way to our area. New cases are rising rapidly- mostly now those who have not been vaccinated are affected. It is as if we are back to square one. I find it quite difficult to hear the various misguided opinions about this pandemic and the vaccines. It is difficult because I understand that the risk of severe COVID illness FAR outweighs any known risks of the vaccine for most. Difficult because of the many patients who suffered alone on a ventilator while families waited at home because they weren't allowed in. My heart is heavy for the adult children who couldn't visit their elderly parent in the nursing home...that time can never be replaced. is also difficult because those who "don't believe" in the vaccine tend to prefer a maskless approach. To address your comment, in 20+ years in the medical field I have experienced many situations that I don't "agree" with. This has prompted me to evaluate my own belief system and continue to aim for personal improvement and growth. None of us serve any good purpose when passing judgement upon others. Medical staff are expected to remain educated and up to date in their chosen fields of study....our professional commitment is to that of our patients. We are bound to strict guidelines and governed by medical and nursing boards (part of our "lousy government" that you referred to) whose purpose is to PROTECT THE PUBLIC. Vaccination of healthcare workers has long been required for employment, this is not new. Also, licensed healthcare workers don't walk out when they don't agree with something, as that is abandonment of our patients. There are certain health conditions that would be considered exempt from vaccination requirements- otherwise we get vaccinated for the protection of each of YOU and your loved ones, and pray that you will do the same (or stay home if unvaccinated). @ BRINGITON

So if the government actually cared this action would have stopped or never even got started. The numbers of deaths for covid 19 are so skewed it’s unbelievable, if a person has serious illnesses and dies they get test for covid, if positive even with no symptoms cause of death is covid. So people don’t die of natural causes anymore? And I’m not saying people haven’t died from covid what I’m saying is the government has promoted and allowed misleading numbers as well as hidden all the reported side effects some have experienced. Remember this is a experimental drug that has not been fda approved, why is that, if it’s that effective it should be. @david hue green, I believe what they were trying to say Is that this poor administration allows illegals in this country every single second of the day, none are turned away. 65% test positive for covid 19, they are flown all across this country to different cities.

They just don't agree on what they want us to do. But what does that have to do with the price of rice in China? Or what a healthcare provider does to avoid killing its patients? Insult people by calling them "sheeple." After all, it couldn't be that they are trying to save lives; it must be part of some Vast Left Wing Conspiracy to deprive us of the right to die miserable deaths and those around us rather than live and be healthy. Who knew people dedicated to saving lives were so evil?? AND "Not everything is a political game. People are literally dying because of this virus." Just because YOU aren't playing, doesn't mean some aren't. And they don't care that people are dying. They think it will be somebody else or they are already vaccinated themselves to make CERTAIN it is somebody else. David for better people REGARDING:

I drive up and down barrancas everyday and the number of funerals I've seen this year is crazy. Several of my co-workers have passed away from the disease. Please stop spreading misinformation.

I myself will not be taking anything that has not been FDA approved period, I don’t believe it does anything at all and I certainly don’t buy into the number of deaths that they claim, does anyone wonder why causes of death decreased such a heart attacks and other causes during this so cold pandemic? The numbers have been twisted to create fear and it’s working.@ Warren if your that afraid stay home, because your more likely to be killed by lightning or a car accident than covid. Sacred Heart is not just requiring employees it all states venders as well so I guess the coke and Pepsi guys will need the vaccine too, lol .
