Right, politics. I can point you to a number of videos of dem “leaders” saying they would not trust nor take the vaccine if trump was president. Now we are supposed to believe them? Yikes. Forgive me for the political post but this is reality

Trump suggested injecting bleach as a cure. He also touted hydroxychloroquine, which killed people. Biden and other dem leaders, afaik, never suggested such lunacy. What you’re describing here is a false equivalency.

If a vaccinated person can catch and transmit COVID, how does showing proof of vaccination prevent/limit spread? Simple answer seems to be that it won't. If limiting/preventing spread is the goal, you should require a negative test from everyone. Even then, when you're talking about 10s of thousands of people getting together, you're going to have some people who get exposed between time of testing and time of the event.

That is exactly what some cruise lines are doing. They recognize that a cruise ship is a floating petri dish, and want to keep it as safe as possible. To sail on Regent you must be vaccinated, and they give you a test prior to boarding the ship. They do not currently sail from FL due to the governor's mandate against checking vaccine cards and requiring masks.

My ER has been totally slammed over the past three weeks. We have (and still have our share of) COVID+ admit holds, as well as other ICU holds. Our ICU is full, 7/8 are COVID+, if I'm not mistaken, and there's not another ICU bed to be found, basically anywhere, in NC. We extubated a non-COVID COPD exacerbation earlier today, but she's still on BiPAP. She came in last Wednesday morning, we had to intubate her last Thursday morning (subsequently, she coded) and she's still hanging out in our ER. She's on a waitlist at a hospital near Charlotte (approx. 150 miles away) and she's #63 on that list. Another non-COVID guy, still on the vent, had to go from ER to the OR yesterday evening, and then come back to the ER. He's waitlisted at Emory in Atlanta. Another COVID+ that we're holding, we might have been able to get her to an ICU/dialysis bed.....in Reston, VA (only 500+ miles away) if we only could get her transported there. Her room air O2 sat yesterday afternoon when I landed her was 47%.

It's not just COVID that's suffering.

I went to CVS this weekend for a travel health appointment since I couldn't get my general doctor to respond about getting travel medications. I mentioned that at my appointment and they said they are backlogged with just minute clinic appointments. I'm not mad at my doctor, I just couldn't wait any longer. I feel for all the Healthcare professionals right now.

You certainly don't have to answer. That is your right. But they could treat it as answering "not vaccinated."

When people apply for physical occupations, employers ask for health information all of the time, and people turn it over because they want the job. It's not a violation, but you are correct that people could just not go.

That's misleading. There are a host of medical history questions potential employers are not allowed by law to ask as during the interview and offer process.

off label use of a 70 year old save drug is problematic…..well who would have thought that. However, it’s use to treat symptoms within guidelines is completely save. Zero deaths.
My wife takes it for other medical conditions. It’s one of the safer drugs on the market. Even if your politics doesn’t like it

Straw man argument. You called BS on killing people; I showed empirical evidence that it does. End of story.

My neighbor who is vaccinated had a breakthrough infection. Plaquenil was one of the things they prescribed for him. He’s going to die because of it and it’s all Biden’s fault for not having it pulled from the market……

Sarcasm ^^^^^

Did Biden promote Plaquenil? Methinks another false equivalency is a brewing…

You can either understand the legal side of HIPAA or just believe what you want to.

Down here in Alabama all the news is Alabama and Auburn. I hear Alabama football is over 90% and as of Sunday night on The Zone (Birmingham ABC tv) it seemed like Auburn was at around 60%. Auburn coach Bryan Harsin and DC Derek Mason have been missing from practice due to them testing positive for Covid. How are fans going to react when games are forfeited due to players testing positive was a question they ask? I'd hate to forfeit a game we should win. So what's the news on the Vols being vaccinated?
