Just watched the good luck Charlie gal at a public meeting and then this. Makes her look even crazier. The two of them should talk

It wouldn’t change anything, that woman is advanced stage crazy and I don’t see any amount of reasoned argument getting through to her. A big problem is that we’ve got so many people living in a completely different reality. They won’t accept facts, they deny the shit they see with their own eyes, and they are completely dug in on their interpretation of reality.

Very true. Dr O’Neal broke it down so good I can’t imagine someone not understanding. However......

u/FunkyHedonist Aug 13 '21
I just watched the same clip you mention. Its such a wild dichotomy. On one hand, we have an educated medical professional fighting back tears as she explains that the hospital system is about to collapse if people don't get serious about masks and vaccines. On the other hand, we have a washed up Disney star screaming non-sequitur references to the declaration of independence, to thunderous applause from the dumb ass crowd.

u/RogerRabbit79 Aug 13 '21
Yup. Maybe there needs to be a weekly show of showing what’s going on in those hospitals. Something to bring the light of day.

As a non American this is so sad to watch. I feel so sorry for her and others like her. It must be heart breaking to 1) experience what she's experiencing, and 2) to have to get up on a podium and make a speech about it and ask the public for help to keep people out of hospital.
My heart goes out to the majority of Americans that have common sense. To the anti vaxxers/covid deniers: fuck you. What the fuck is wrong with you.

U.S. military top doc just said this will not be going away and covid will be as seasonal as the flu, the new normal. Probably reason they are just now mandating vaccination for all troops, same as influenza vax is required for active-duty military every year.

doomsday death cult.
Not really, just get your yearly vax, exercise regularly like humans should, don't eat like shit and get fat, life is good.

LET THEM DIE!!! Why should any sympathy be given to people who have been warned over and over again about this? Where vaccines are EASILY and FREELY available?! Nope, I’m done caring.

She is a super strong woman. You hear the sincerity and honesty and her voice as she's trying to fight back becoming emotional. I hate that we have to continue to bend the will of public health to the people that want to drag us down to the graves with them

Hospitals should put unvaccinated people with covid at the back of the line. They can pray away their covid, if there's no beds left.

u/Existing-Row5660 Aug 13 '21
IMO, those that refuse the vaccine should be refused hospital beds when they show up in the ER. These are the people that deny the truth until it’s too late and then beg for someone to fix it for them. Their selfishness should be their demise.

I wonder if we’ll see a dual-tiered system for vaccinated/unvaccinated? People would actually shit if they did that. But you have to wonder the healthcare system has to make that change to accommodate ignorant, selfish people

u/KlopeksWithCoppers Aug 13 '21
Health insurance companies will 100% be doing this soon. They only care about the bottom line and covid hospitalization is preventable now with the vaccine.

u/uncletiger Aug 13 '21
Well those who have not had a booster yet be considered the unvaccinated as the boosters begin to roll out?

That is probably the first time I’ve ever been accused of that. So let me get this straight, because my opinion is that these people forfeit their right to medical treatment after they’ve denied the medical recommendations and vaccines from the beginning that makes me a fascist? Please explain? Btw, I am all about socialized medicine. I’m all for universal healthcare and education. What I’m not for are people refusing to do what’s right because of their selfishness and then begging for treatment from these same medical professionals that they call liars. So please, explain how I’m a fascist. Better yet, explain what fascism is because I’m not so sure you know.

In my city in Canada we had medical staff from the military help out. On top of that it's not that difficult to train military staff to be health care aides. It at least reliefs the burden somewhat.
2
u/EleventyElevens Aug 13 '21
If the federal government sent people to help, I would bet money that they'd be criticized for it or people would actively see it as an invasion.
Governors themselves can call for National Guard to go into active duty... but when it's the governors themselves (see: Florida and Texas) devolving into virulent anti-maskers, I would be mighty surprised if they swallowed their pride enough for that. It's insane.

Lol. Not hard to train too be medical staff

I said health care aides! Do you understand their scope of practice?

Did you say aid or medical staff. Because I see medical staff.

u/motivaction Aug 14 '21 edited Aug 14 '21
I'm talking about two different things. The medical staff from the military helped out in the hospitals in my city in Canada.
But also to be an unlicensed health care aide, in an emergency situation, doesn't need a lot of training. The college here was offering a week long condensed course to become an aide in a long term care facility. We are talking bathing, handing out food, changing beds, helping patients to the toilet.
Training military personal to take on a role like that is very easy and it gives relief to completely understaffed units.
In my home country 130 medical and non-medical military personal helped long term care facilities in the day to day operations.

There’s doctors, nurses and all staff needed to run a functional hospital

u/InfinitelyAbysmal Aug 13 '21
Some of the military staff I worked with last covid season were doctors and nurses. Lots of seasoned staff that didn't scare easily. They helped us a lot in our ICU.

u/ThucydidesButthurt Aug 13 '21
She literally says in the video the have federal medical personnel in the hospital to help and it’s still not enough.

u/Ben-A-Flick Aug 13 '21
Well that was sobering. I still mask up and am vaccinated but that was sobering. I'll continue to do so until next spring and reevaluate the situation at that time.
My friend put it best. It takes longer to put on one stock than it does to put on a mask. Just do it.

That article is not supporting your statement about this specific medical institution nor does it even mention Louisiana. You are implying that this deficit in healthcare providers and beds is due to a policy instead of the actual caseload being the cause. Have they even started terminating contracts? Do you know?
Could you please find an actual article supporting your statement about a lack of healthcare providers in Louisiana due to the specific cause you just specified... from a reputable source?
Please keep in mind you are speaking to a doctor right now so I hope you try a little harder show me what I am currently unaware of.
Thanks so much!

I'm amazed that our Healthcare system has lasted as long as it has. Hospitals pre-pandemic were understaffed and crazy busy. Can't even imagine what it's like to walk into a hospital with a broken limb nowadays. Absolutely insane.

She is a brilliant communicator. It helps that she is not one of the usual suspects we see all over TV each day. She’s genuine and speaking from a place of urgency.

Not trying to brag here, but I scored in the 99.880% on my SAT, was a national merit finalist, and am generally pretty good at what I do.
I work with a guy who is so much smarter than I am that he makes things that I absolutely struggle with seem super easy. He makes me feel like a confused ape regularly. He's one of the smartest people I know.
He's also an anti-vaxxer and still believes vaccines cause autism. He refuses to get vaccinated and thinks he'll survive COVID with Ivermectin and Vitamin C. He's moving to Florida next week.
Whatever this is, it isn't rational.

The amount of selfishness and misinformation in the world today continues to be our demise. People act like this will just go away and it’s certainly not anytime soon. Here we are almost halfway through year two with no end in sight. You would think wanting the world to open up and be back to normal would be enough to make people make the logical decision but no, why listen to scientists and doctors when you have Susan on FB feeding you a bunch of illogical bullshit. We are all fucked and unfortunately the stupid outnumber us 4:1. Fuck….
