This information is horribly inaccurate.  Show me where there was a PLACEBO control that it only improved mortality by 2.5% or you are comparing against other studies, which you should know has no validity.  

The best treatment is prevention with the vaccine which also reduces morbidity and mortality. But, there is significant vaccine hesitancy impeding our progress to shut this down and avoid steps like lock downs.


The vast majority of new cases are in the unvaccinated.  I'm probably testing about 100 patients/week.  I've only had 3 fully vaccinated people test positive.

The vast majority of people getting tested are symptomatic and unvaccinated.  I think it was one day last week I had 8 positives out of 11 and one was admitted due to kidney failure due to Covid.  Many people get tested due to exposure because they can't just quarantine at home for 14 days or isolate for a minimum of 10 days without a doctor's note to miss work or school.  And I'm doing more referrals for monoclonal antibody infusions for high risk patients than ever before. You can't get the referral if you don't test positive. And that is the only treatment for outpatients that may reduce risk of severe Covid.

To what monoclonal antibody do you speak of?  The kidney failure due to covid patient....I am assuming they had some other issue, like aHUS and the uncontrolled complement attack was precipitated by the infection, but that isn't necessarily from covid, as any infection could ramp up complement.  

You made claims of fraud without evidence. And anyone can turn in claims of fraud to the government at any time based only upon suspicion and the government will investigate and the whistleblower can receive large rewards.  Yet, despite all this widespread fraud, I'm not seeing hospitals being prosecuted for widespread Covid fraud.

I will not blow a whistle on health care professionals that are doing what they are being told to do, but I promise you, it has happened in massive numbers.  Do you REALLY think no one got the flu last year?  

Finally, something we can largely agree upon.  But, this surge is largely fueled by the unvaccinated (> 90%).  And if you don't get vaccinated then it doesn't have any affect.


I don't want to even comment on this because it is a barrier to getting people to believe the information the medical community is providing and we already have enough of those.

PS and one hospital is now on total diversion because of symptomatic, unvaccinated Covid patients who are so sick they need to be admitted

The numbers of vaccinated patients with severe symptoms is very, very small.  The vaccines clearly work.  If they aren't going to "force it", which is a really tough call, due to the massive financial implications to both our healthcare system and our overall economy, maybe the government should entice with a tax break to the vaccinated.  I bet more people would "choose" money than their fear of the vaccine.
