Inside Portland ICU As Health Care Workers Struggle To Keep Up With Covid Surge
That ward is about empty..this is old.
Trump the snake
When I was in medical school I was going to work in a ICU Unit to help people, but I remembered the story Donald Trump said about saving a drowning snake. Snakes are natural swimmers and i don't play with snakes.
vaccinated ppl can still pass on covid. plus Ive seen the numbers. Im curious how many are partially vaccinated? how many are considered unvaccinated if they recieved it more than 6mo ago? we are now doing boosters because "immunity" has gone down just 6,7 or 8 months later. in a "pandemic" we are letting go of almost 500 ohsu employees who refuse the vax. get real.
I just can't believe why people rather die in early age then live a long good life that is just so sad I rather get the vaccine and live as long as I can yes I love freedom but if it involves me health possibly getting jeopardized I rather get necessarily things that will keep me alive as long as I can I don't understand why people want to end their life early
Oregon has lowest Hospitals beds available per capital in the country.. 2/100,000. Perhaps instead of relying solely on vaccination we should spend money to build more Hospitals? Just a thought
FATAL VEHICLE ACCIDENTS CLAIM 2 TIMES MORE LIVES IN AMERICA THAN COVID.
SHOULD CHINA JOE BAN DRIVING?
THE DEATH RATE FOR CHILDREN in AMERICA 0 to 18 yrs IS 0.00% TO 0.024%. 7 STATES HAVE NO COVID-19 CHILD DEATHS…
With the vax or no treatment policy, wouldn't take long to get morons vaxxed.
Get vaxxed or be denied health care. Period. Not barbaric. What is barbaric is for the stupid & selfish to overrun health workers.
What percentage of increasing COVID-19 & COVID VARIENT rates are related to the high percentage of infected immigrants crossing the border from 81 different countries?
People are willing to die for Trump, their ultimate false prophet.
Hola 😂😂😂😂🌹ðŸ™ÂÂ
I know a young woman who is a respiratory therapist at this hospital. She is telling her friends and family to take ivermectin. She says the doctors are going to refill it because they want to use ivermectin. But I watch this video all the way through and several on this hospital and not one doctor mentioned that they were fed up that they could treat patients the way they want it. They were only fed up with patients who are not vaccinated coming in to the ER and having to be admitted because they refused to get a vaccine. She’s spreading these lies and I’m very concerned her name is Natalie and I hope someone speaks to her about this
Preparing Mark of the Beast System The Lord’s coming and the False Prophet
WAKE UP
I get why they want people to get vaccinated, so why won’t the drug companies take liability then?
An NBC NEWS post. Hmmmm.
That tells ya EVERYTHING you need to know here.
Lol portland…we can trust this garbage right 😂😴😂
I'd rather die a Free Man, than live a Zombie! – Anti-Vaxxers
'Your wish is granted' – HC workers
7% of 100 is 7 beds.they love their numbers until they don't want to reveal them.first of all,why didn't they get treated early at home?because they prefer to treat late and put on a vent?no proof of anything,no explanation of how the diagnosis is made;all fear based to promote their one and only treatment,same script as last year.it's all they have to continue with br3&^@$%h
More bad news from the Democrat ShitHole of Portland
Utter rubbish. Dont just get scared by what these individuals post to scare the masses. Check on the government website on the number of deaths for the past few weeks for younger age groups and you can see that the risk of death is pretty much non existent.
Stop paying engineers more money than healthcare workers. They are worthless lol
I believe those who are against vaccination are in denial, they don’t watch these kind of newsfeed. Everything will fail unfortunately
Keep having rallies downtown.
those CHOICE not to get vaccinated, PLEASE DO NOT GO TO GET HELP FROM healthcare workers! ?!
Portland Oregon? Liberal Portland Oregon?
But I thought it was only QAnon Republicans who didn't get vaccinated?
time to burn it down
According to the CDC, Oregon is the one of the states who have the most vaccinated. So whats up with the spike? Hmmmmmmm
Here’s what Canadian viral immunologist and vaccine researcher Dr. Byram Bridle told Ingraham about the claim that we’re in a pandemic of the unvaxxed, and that the unvaccinated are hotbeds for dangerous variants:
“Absolutely, it’s untrue to be calling this a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s certainly untrue … that the unvaccinated are somehow driving the emergence of the novel variants. This goes against every scientific principle that we understand.
“The reality is, the nature of the vaccines we are using right now, and the way we’re rolling them out, are going to be applying selective pressure to this virus to promote the emergence of new variants. Again, this is based on sound principles
Lol

"Alaska, Montana, and Idaho."
Yeah. Actually getting medical care. Thanks to the "filthy liberals."
You're welcome.
Japan says no to 16 million doses of contaminated Moderna vaccines, per Reuters.
I wonder why in some states they claim all these kids are getting covid but it doesn’t seem like a concern in others?
Maybe this is the best time for Oregon to let the eastern part of the state ( with the right wingers) succeed and join Idaho like they want to. They are the idiots fueling the outbreak.

Bs
So they lied about the effectiveness of the first. Mandating means they are lying! Coming out, the shot may harm your unborn. But hey, CHA-CHING is what it is all about!
Ok so basicly what your saying is if we had covid…a breathrough case is RARE as you put it. Got it thanks #MSNBC
If the unvaxxed are more at risk, why weren't the hospitals as "overwhelmed" as they are now before the vaccine?
No vaccine = covid 19 + death+ $ TAX
And this, folks, is natural selection
If people refuse to get vaccinated then when they do get sick are put on a waiting list and the people who took this seriously get first come first serve
Must have forgotten to mention that 85% of really sick n dying ppl are the vaccinated. Bill Gates strikes again, banned.video
I want to see Colorado hospitals
