“I’m Sorry, It’s Too Late” – Doctor Reveals What She Tells Unvaccinated Patients Dying From Covid
Dr. Brytney Cobia has recently penned an impassioned Facebook post, making a sobering call to everyone who doesn’t believe in COVID vaccines.
According to the Alabama doctor, when laying in their deathbed due to complications, unvaccinated people regret refusing the COVID-19 jab. Some even beg for it now, but Brytney says it’s too late.
“I’m admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections. One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late,” she wrote in a heartbreaking post that moved so many people and went viral with 4.3k likes.
So read on for a harrowing picture of what happens with unvaccinated COVID patients in the front lines, when doctors are no longer able to do much else. The read is especially relevant in light of the highly contagious Delta variant that’s spreading across the globe.

Brytney told AL.com that treating patients with the coronavirus who refused to get vaccinated hits at the core of her heart. “You kind of go into it thinking, ‘OK, I’m not going to feel bad for this person, because they make their own choice,’” the doctor who, along with hundreds of other Alabama physicians, cared for COVID-19 patients commented.
It all changes when she sees those people face to face. “Then you actually see them, you see them face to face, and it really changes your whole perspective, because they’re still just a person that thinks that they made the best decision that they could with the information that they have, and all the misinformation that’s out there.”
The doctor penned her now-viral post in response to another Alabama physician, Dr. David B. Wilhelm, who warned people of the extremely contagious and dangerous Delta variant

Recounting the heights of the pandemic some time ago, Brytney didn’t hide how horrifying working in the front line really was. “Back in 2020 and early 2021, when the vaccine wasn’t available, it was just tragedy after tragedy after tragedy. You know, so many people that did all the right things, and yet still came in, and were critically ill and died.”

The current wave of new Delta patients reminds Brytney of the time in October and November of 2020. It was right about the time of Alabama’s tragic peak in coronavirus patient cases and deaths. “What we saw in December 2020, and January 2021, that was the absolute peak, the height of the pandemic, where I was signing 10 death certificates a day,” she told the news outlet.
“Now, it’s certainly not like that, but it’s very reminiscent of probably October, November of 2020, where we know there’s a lot of big things coming up.”
Alarmingly, today, Alabama has the lowest vaccination rate in the country with just 31% of the state’s population having been fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, over the past two weeks, the rolling average number of daily new cases in Alabama has increased by 694, which translates into a whopping 573% increase.
And this is what people had to comment in response to her post

I am fresh out of empathy here. The information is out there. We keep telling you and getting called names in return or worse. Get vaccinated dammit!!!
Honestly i have zero patience with people who don't vaccinate! I can't anymore! I'm tired of the excuses! If it didn't affect other people i would say let them be! If they don't have a brain then what can we do? But no! It affects others and seriously i have no tolerance! If you care only for yourself and don't give a s**t about anybody else, then you are a shitty person and i don't want to have anything to do with you! They should be ashamed!!! People in poorer countries are really desperate for vaccines and in the west we have a choice of 4 and don't go to do it! So f*****g spoiled! Better send them to people that appreciate them!

Now the hospitals are filling up again but this time with young people infected with Covid. Everyone who had their vaccination is safe and no one is showing any signs of mindcontrol by Bill Gates or an addiction to 5G-radiation.
Bill gates voor eerste minister!! Stem op Bill!!
Load More Replies...I'm vaccinated, and I still wear a visor and use sanitizer, even though it is no longer mandatory here. I'm expecting another wave with lockdowns following shortly after.
THANK YOU. I'm vaccinated, still mask/glove/etc. b/c guess what? The virus may not care!
Load More Replies...Alright, if this story does not convince anti-vaxxers, I don't know what will! Story after story, article after article, each more horrifying than the last, and still y'all persist that it's infringing on your rights, that people who got vaccinated are sheep, whatever. Please, I implore you, go get the vaccine, help us end this pandemic. Whatever chance we have is better than nothing. All these innocent people don't deserve to be killed. We must work together.
Sadly it won't. They'll be told or continue to believe it's all political or a hoax or not worse than the flu. They lied about having medical exemptions, they lie about being vaccinated, they think they're "smarter" than all the "sheep" who actually get the "poison" vaccine. They've fully bought into the lies they've been told and now it's too late. Their arrogance and blatant denial of facts is going to bite and bite hard. And sadly the people responsible for the continuation of the lie will not face consequences.
Load More Replies...I think that one posters suggestion is great! Make a clause in insurance that says if you refuse the vaccinations and suffer ill health as a result of covid, they won't cover the bill.
Honestly, given how shifty insurance companies are, I'm surprised they're not already doing this!
Load More Replies...Yes, another pandemic wave is ramping up and hospitals are filling up in midsummer when they're usually pretty empty... for a pandemic that was almost totally preventable. The people who politicized and encouraged anti-vax fears need to burn jn hell for all eternity.
You can also blame the social media like Fakebook for not being more decisive in removing Covid deniers from the their platforms.
Load More Replies...Why do some people insist the pandemic is a hoax?! A hoax that the whole planet is in on except you? Really?
The most common variant of the misinformation hre in the US is that it was created so Biden would win the election. Other, less common variants include Bill Gates trying to control the country and 5G. It is very confusing, and their arguments are never convincing.
Load More Replies...There should be a global agreement that the vaccine should be compulsory during a pandemic. Anyone who can medically have it, should have it. You can have your 'personal choices' and 'freedom' after the virus has been eliminated - or at the very least, controlled. In the meantime, get jabbed and stop putting other lives at risk. Go live in China if you think you are being 'oppressed'. We are all in this together and that means you too.
I just don’t understand anti-vaxxers Why, just why, would you so adamantly refute what has been scientifically proven?? Then again, when I look at flat-Earthers and listen to their half-cocked assertions… I can only heave a sigh of despair. People, please, just please listen to scientific reasoning by trusted sources (e.g. the WHO or the NHS). Do not fall for all that pseudoscienctific rubbish that plagues social media. Vaccines are life-saving, believe it or not. Yes, you may test positive for COVID even after you’ve been vaccinated but imagine the effects of the virus on your body if you’ve NOT been vaccinated. Vaccines do NOT and NEVER make children autistic! NEVER!!!!!!! Vaccines save lives!!! Why aren’t you suffering from polio or smallpox? Thank vaccines for that!!! Do NOT ever spread misinformation and prey on others’ naivety by making nonsensical claims about vaccines. I’ll reiterate; vaccines save your bloody life and if you refuse to be vaccinated, too bad, mate!
Because it gives them the sense they are better than the rest "Ohh I know better, you are a sheep, you are blinded by the government, I have freedom you dont" and BS like that. Applies to flat-earthers too, but compared to them, they are harmless. BTW, remember this I heard a couple of day ago: "It's hard to have an argument with a genius, its'impossible to have one with an idiot" (or something like that)
Load More Replies...People are not smart, also why is a Vaccine still an optional thing? I got mine as fast, as i could. Others waste time with endless discussions.
I have plenty of sympathy for antivaxers but I save it from after they die of COVID so I can then send "thoughts and prayers"
Load More Replies...I'd definitely love to fly to U.S. to get vaccinated if I can. I'd like to get vaccinated real bad here but I just have to wait for my stupid government to bring the mRNA vaccines in. I even paid for the vaccine reservation myself even though the people shouldn't have to. Now I have to wait at least for another 3 or 4 months. :-(
It's so sad that in the US, EVERYONE has access to vaccine, and in many, many countries, people who really want them don't have access. Far too many in the US are very, very selfish and immature.
Load More Replies...LOL, loads of people would love to but can’t. Meanwhile these ungrateful turds have access but won’t take it.
Load More Replies...I spent the last 18 months working as a volunteer, doing triage, first-aid advanced, whatever was needed so our local hospital could deal with Covid. Then a couple weeks ago, they shut down our free vaccine clinic. B/c ... ??? And now Delta variant is hitting, the clinic is closed, we have no back-up, and the deniers still yell at *us* for not letting them go into the Covid wards, b/c we'd rather they didn't spread the dam* virus even more. OUR RIGHT TO LIVE SUPERSEDES YOUR RIGHT TO BE A GODDA*N IDIOT is a t-shirt we're considering for our volunteers. Not that we'd get to wear it, but we feel better talking about it. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. Every day, another denier, another crier ("Why won't you let me hold his hand? Why can't I sit with her?" ----- b/c it's a frigging pandemic disease!).... Another shrieker ("Why didn't you give her the cure!".... it's a vaccine, not a cure, there's a difference).... It doesn't stop even after all this death...
I will never understand these people who refuse to get vaccinated. I couldn’t wait To get mine.
Are there really people who think they won't get sick because they have a certain blood type or skin color? O.O
Yes. B/c there's a 1% less chance of severe respiratory damage with a certain bloodtype, people get the impression it's a 99% chance of not getting sick at all. No, it does not make sense. They prefer ignorance to information b/c ignorance is bliss and information is scary. Talk to the mass media. They report this sttuff in 10 words, leaving out buckets of relevant info.
Load More Replies...No sympathy for them. I can almost guarantee that most of these people are also the same ones that believe in the "Big Lie". People in third world countries are struggling worse from the pandemic BECAUSE vaccines aren't readily available. Most still have lockdown orders and most STILL have mandates that require quarantine and even curfews. Yes, people are struggling in the U.S but when you have the government providing FREE vaccinations and you still don't take them then that's on you. I've traveled a lot to Latin America since the pandemic, and yes, there are Covid deniers there too. However, it is so much more political in the United States and when presented with actual facts people still choose to deny it. Morons.
I can't wrap my head around the disconnect in logic in the US, where healthcare is bonkers expensive even with insurance, they are giving the vaccine FOR FREE. You don't get ANYTHING in the US for free except for someone's opinion (whether you ask for it or not in some cases). But they are turning it down and putting themselves in the position of, assuming they don't die, GOING INTO DEBT for treatment that there is a g-ddammed VACCINE for.
Load More Replies...Sadly, it seems dying and the occasional public shaming is the only consequence these anti-vax folks have. And even more sadly, their lack of consequences means very real possible consequences to the innocent people who they come in contact with.
Canada here Ontario to be specific. We are at the mercy of our politicians. I f we had been in strict lockdown we would not have had all the avoidable deaths here. We were the last to get the vaccines. If our P.M. had let Pfizer establish here we probably be one of the first to have the vaccine. I know a lot of anti vaxxers are only gonna get it so I can travel. I cannot understand them they should be forced to watch someone die of this plague. These poor Doctors, Nurses and Respiratory people who are risking their live for these people is just disgusting. I actually met a idiot in the Drs. office who said it was killing all the right people (old). I also had to contend with a doctor who would not mask up properly. He then whined to me that he got sick with Covid Told him he acted as thought that's what he wanted I told him to kiss my ass and left. He said I abused him! I know I'm ranting but that's wat stupid people make me do!
Upvoting ten times. I cant get away with being that way, but in my head? I'm telling these clowns that if I could make sure only *they* died of Covid? I'd be happy to sit back and let it happen at this point. I ran out of mercy six months ago. Patience? Pfft, lost that in 2020. If a medical pro won't mask up, etc.? RUN from them. You did good @Brian.
Load More Replies...'Say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives' So long as evidence-based medicine is being practiced.
People still underestimate covid. It can kill. Even young and healthy people.
People have chose their politics and cult leaders ahead of science and medical professionals. They can now live and die with these choices.
If they didn't take others with them who can't have a vaccine for other reasons? I'd agree totally.
Load More Replies...That's shocking - why aren't you considered a priority? I hope you can get it soon.
Load More Replies...It's still sad though. I could joke about "natural selection" and stuff but I try to remember that that's someone's child that had passed away. Imagine you, as a parent getting that phone call.
How many other people did they infect when they had the virus but weren't sick yet? How many people did they choose to kill because of their selfish stupidity?
Load More Replies...So I've been a paramedic for 15 years and I worked right through the worst of the pandemic in a hot bed area. I've seen plenty of people die pretty terrible deaths. I don't just lack empathy for these fools, but I despise their memory. They propagated this malignant nonsense and got people killed and now that it bites them in the ass I'm expected to pity them? They deserve what happened. They disserve worse because of the good innocent people that died from their willful ignorance.
I agree. And thank you for what you do. I can't in a million years imagine working as a paramedic during this pandemic. I hope you're okay and they give you a lot of time off.
Load More Replies...Oh...no... :-( I listen to NPR every day and read various newspapers. It is extremely rare for anyone to mention that little children can and do get sick from Covid. Yes, it's far less common, but it does happen. Many people thought, "Just let 'em die - they're old anyway". Which is wrong on many fronts, but from a PR standpoint, if people understood that younger people do die - and do get very sick with long-term effects - it might help persuade people to take precautions. But ever since the beginning, news isn't really reporting on it. I remember trying to find how many people under the age of 30 had died of Covid. This was maybe last fall. I would have thought it was a simple google search, but no. Could not find an answer on it at that time.
Load More Replies...Okay, maybe these people can't understand the research, distrust the government or are just plain dumb. BUT, it was no secret how rich people were jumping the line and hording the vaccine. That should have told them it was FAR from a hoax as rich people don't play games.....
My husband has a coworker whose boyfriend went to visit friends...came back home testing positive for Covid. He was fully vaccinated...so was she. She has not tested positive. I asked my husband to see what vaccines they had. I went with Pfizer because it had the best success of any of them.
And as with any vaccine - it's not going to be 100%. There will always be a small amount of people that simply don't develop the antibodies. And for that reason, we need to vaccinate as many people as we can to eradicate the disease. The less people that can have it, the less people can spread it.
Load More Replies...I know people who are vaccinated but not letting their kids get vaccinated. These kids want the vaccine but can't get it because it's illegal without parental permission. I don't care if natural selection takes out adult idiots who bringing it on themselves, but for the love stop robbing these kids of their safety, childhoods, and worst case: lives.
I am so angry and frustrated with people who refuse to get vaccinated. The misinformation out there is equivalent to "accessory to cause of death". Look around you people!! What part of reality don't you get?! To those who won't get vaccinated, there's no do over here. When the moment you finally get a clue that this thing is real is right before you get intubated, so now you REALLY DO want the shot, only to be told its too late for that now, you have no clue the level of inescapable terror that will explode in you when you realize that there's no way out of what is about to happen to you. We sedate you into unconscious right before we put the tube down & we keep you that way while its down. Just imagine, the last thing you ever see in your life is the ceiling of your hospital room, because we couldn't save you. Helluva way for it all to end. GET VACCINATED!!! YOU DONT WANT TO GO HERE!!!
What's also hard is I'm starting to hear stories about vaccinated people being hospitalized with Delta. They live, but long term health problems are real, and they can be debilitating. The virus is still mutating, and it's only a matter of time before it mutates among the unvaccinated into something that can fully blow through the vaccine.
You will not. One day you will, but until than: have a good life! God bless you!
Load More Replies...I'm fully vaccinated and still masking up. In the US, the vaccine is so damn easy to get. I have several paranoid friends who no matter what, refuse to get it.
Just had a 34 yr old guy die here. He was a member of a Christian church. Even while hospitalized, he stated he didn't need a ventilator, his God was stronger. All I could think of was the joke about someone praying to be saved from a flood, and after dying, asked God why they didn't save them and answer their prayers. And God said "I heard your prayers. You ignored the weather report, the boat from your neighbors, the helicopter from the National Guard, all sent by ME to save you."
I'm glad the doctor said she wasn't going to sugar coat it. I have zero sympathy for those selfish people.
Load More Replies...People should also focus on developing medicines for this disease not only vaccines. Some people can't take vaccine for health reasons but with good medicines they can be saved too. With medicines & vaccines there is a chance to save majority of people. We should remember that even if vaccines will give 95% of "immunity" it is still not 100%, 5% of vaccinated people will be ill, so they need medicines too. Medicines are same important as vaccines.
We have few medicines that work against viruses as it is. Viral infections are not very treatable.
Load More Replies...I just got my second jab yesterday morning, and I'm so glad that that's done now. I've been avoiding going out, I've just gone to the store, to see my parents, to therapy and doctor's appointments, and to a small private festival (nobody went there sick, nobody got sick there, so I don't feel too bad about going there) during these 1,5 years. In 2 weeks I'm going to see one of my best friends, I haven't seen him since this all started, and we're going to a festival. My vaccine will be in full action by then. I haven't seen my bestest friend this whole time either, because she lives so far away. I'm still going to wear a mask and be careful in general though, for as long as it's needed for real.
Small coastal towns here were keeping safe until the tourists came unmasked, unvaxed, uncaring to spread the disease here in our markets, restaurants and gas stations... Damn them!
I think the most important thing, although I must admit that I am sometimes also not very good at it, is to not get personal or even insulting. That won't turn any anti-vaxxers to see and accept the scientifical facts. Also, we cannot, should not and don't want to force anybody to get vaccinated, but we want to convince everybody to do so for their better good and for all of us as a community. The virus is our enemy, not our fellow neighbours. Also, the virus doesn't care about political interests.
It is a very unfortunate thing that it takes losing a family member to get these people to get the vaccine. This virus is serious and never ever should have been downplayed or politicized. I come from a family with a lot of immunocompromised people in it, so when the vaccine became available to me, you better believe I got it. I didn't want to make my transplant patient father, my kidney patient aunt, or my cancer patient aunt sick by not protecting them. Also by getting the vaccine, I was able to protect myself. This virus has taken so many lives and if two shots in the arm can stop that, we should all be all for it. If you are apprehensive about the vaccine, let me assure that it is safe and there are no serious side effects from it. The government is not putting a microchip in you and it will not make you magnetic. I had the vaccine a few months ago and I feel fine.
A bill is being introduced in Congress that would strip liability protections from social media that allow harmful misinformation about public health emergencies to be spread using their technologies.

I don't know what we can say to the denialists who say they don't know anyone who got covid, they don't see the trucks lined up at the morgues and they certainly don't hear the ambulance sirens wailing = it's a hoax. Expected death statistics is a thing. When graphs indicate higher mortality than the average of previous years, there's a there there. No, it's not about the trope that someone who goes to hospital for one reason now ends up with a covid cause of death. It's about a statistical daily average of X now being consecutively and consistently being X+Y. But noooooooooo, "you're just trying to take our guns awaaaaaaaay! "The sad part, that's an actual argument they barely manage to verbalize as to what the end-game could possibly be to this "hoax".
I hope this doctor is investigated for murder for not following standard protocol and incubating young healthy people who should NOT be intubated. CDC statistics show extremely low death rates among healthy people under 30 so obviously this doctor is doing something wrong and maybe intentionally to make a point.
The fact that she is intubating young healthy people is not standard protocol and has been shown to increase covid mortality ten-fold. CDC statistics show it is very rare for healthy people under 30 to die from covid complications so this doctor's treatment should be questioned.
Two things strike me as truly frightening here. First is that she claims all these young healthy people are dying completely contradicting CDC statistics showing that people under 30 rarely die from Covid complications. The second is how she talks about routinely intubating people which is how many people died. I know this article is 9 months old but the standard protocol of not intubating people has been around for a while now. I wonder how many people died not because of not having a vaccine but being intubated. Very very few young healthy people have died of Covid and intubation has been rejected as proper protocol in all but the most extreme cases.
The same b******t lies being told before the vaccine, are still being told after. They fail to tell you most of the people dying from COVID are also dying of additional medical conditions. Vaccinated or not has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately the government has given out money to anything COVID related. When that happens, the fraud runs rampant and the numbers become severely distorted. Just like illinois was supposedly having records COVID cases at 40k a day in January. The authorities started investigating fraud at several clinics, and within a month the number of cases dropped to 3,000 a day, and they keep dropping. That tells me the 40k a day was b******t, based on fraud that saw $184k given to one clinic alone. FRAUD
I live in a very tiny community and have known two otherwise healthy people (one in her mid twenties) pass away in the last 13 days when just a couple months ago there were NO cases in our tiny town. Both were unvaccinated. Please protect those who cannot get vaccinated or are two young to receive it. Protect yourself.
Give it a rest! Those of us that have decided that the survival rate of 99.9%, is better than the much lower survival rate of getting the jab!!

It should be obvious by now that nothing will convince the true believer. Not the threat of illness, the spectre of death, the fact of an actual prolonged death process, burying dead loved ones... nothing. All I can say is this is Malthus at work. I feel for those who bear the burden of having to care for these fools. We should save our empathy for those who have no choice. Those who choose poorly.... well, maybe they might serve as a bad example but it appears unlikely.
The COVID inpatients in a local hospital have TRIPLED in the past month. I personally know people that believe that COVID is listed as the cause of death on death certificates so that hospitals "get that COVID money from the Democrats". This persistence of misinformation will never stop thanks to #45 and his machinations. I've started wearing my mask again because my state is NOW #3 in the US for new COVID cases.
This article and the sheep that are commenting must have decided that, the truth about this "experimental gene therapy" they have welcomed with open arms, is too horrible for them to believe. The cat has been out of the proverbial bag about this for weeks!! Even the enemedia has shown snippets so God Bless the "guinea pigs"...
Personally, I've lost my patience and empathy for people who refuse to get vaccinated after more than half a million Americans have died of COVID. What empathy remains, I reserve for the children of these idiots, because they can't yet be vaccinated. And for infant children, who can't be vaccinated at all. These idiots are literally murdering their own children.
This doctor literally treated my grandma when she got Covid earlier this year(she survived). Please I'm begging y'all get vaccinated. I almost lost my grandmother. I also work as a 911 dispatcher. You don't know what you are doing and how frightening it is for all first responders when we see pandemic call go up in our CAD system. Love y'all stay safe.
My father passed away in the covid wing last October and the staff stole his wedding ring that he wore for 59 years. If you do have to go to the hospital, don't bring anything of value with you thinking they're all heroes there. All my mother wanted was the ring back and after a letter to the CEO of the hospital, all she got back was a letter saying, "Sorry you had a bad experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
that's one way to get rid of these people. they won't listen the talk? let's the death do the job. i don't care anymore about these morons
Same. I care about people, right up until they make it abundantly clear they need to wallow in stupidity and selfishness more than give a wet fart about others. Then it's like "Oh look, a human cancer cell." DIE!!
Load More Replies...I noticed recently a number of legal ads with attorneys offering services to people who have caught Covid even though they were vaccinated and took extra precautions. Now with contact tracing they are able to find out where and when somebody was impacted. Lawsuits are starting to happen. *On a more serious note Death is just one Avenue if you get impacted by Covid my friends kid is in her early 30s and she’s a long hauler. She is scared to death every day because she’s having a hard time breathing and she knows the virus may impact her cardio or respiratory system or her renal system in the future.
After reading all of the back and forth, I felt an urge to respond. I do not trust the vaccine. However I work with elderly who are very susceptible and I took the pfizer more for them rather than me. I also wipe everything down that I take into the house. We change cloths after we've been out in public and take a shower. All this for the aging folks in the twilight of their years and I don't regret it. However I do have side affects and I have been looking around to see if anyone else has side effects. Biggest issue is feeling faint, almost falling over. Walk 2/3 of a mile on a treadmill and I need to sit down or i'm gong to be laying down. I'm better now, up to 1.5 miles before it hits me. I used to walk the same 2.5 miles/hour for hours without an issue. Turns out I have an oxygen problem in my lungs. There are a few other issues and I have found out its not all that uncommon. And I also found out that we are not being told the entire truth.
I see some groups, including docs and healthcare workers, suing for the truth. I see official numbers of hundreds of dead children in the EU database with Thousands in the hospital. More than died of the virus. I found a mother trying to get the word out that her dead child was deleted from the database. There are reports of hundreds of folks not in the DB that should be. But I also see my place of work with at-risk elderly having no visible side effects. I know a facility in the area that lost 20 residents, not one has been affected in our facility and there have been dozens of ambulance runs to the local hospital for numerous reasons, non for covid or vaccine side effects.

Load More Replies...A lot of elderly people in the Netherlands have had their vaccination. The government loosened the rules because they thought it was a calculated risk to do so. Now the hospitals are filling up again but this time with young people infected with Covid. Everyone who had their vaccination is safe and no one is showing any signs of mindcontrol by Bill Gates or an addiction to 5G-radiation.
Bill gates voor eerste minister!! Stem op Bill!!
Load More Replies...I'm vaccinated, and I still wear a visor and use sanitizer, even though it is no longer mandatory here. I'm expecting another wave with lockdowns following shortly after.
THANK YOU. I'm vaccinated, still mask/glove/etc. b/c guess what? The virus may not care!
Load More Replies...Alright, if this story does not convince anti-vaxxers, I don't know what will! Story after story, article after article, each more horrifying than the last, and still y'all persist that it's infringing on your rights, that people who got vaccinated are sheep, whatever. Please, I implore you, go get the vaccine, help us end this pandemic. Whatever chance we have is better than nothing. All these innocent people don't deserve to be killed. We must work together.
Sadly it won't. They'll be told or continue to believe it's all political or a hoax or not worse than the flu. They lied about having medical exemptions, they lie about being vaccinated, they think they're "smarter" than all the "sheep" who actually get the "poison" vaccine. They've fully bought into the lies they've been told and now it's too late. Their arrogance and blatant denial of facts is going to bite and bite hard. And sadly the people responsible for the continuation of the lie will not face consequences.
Load More Replies...I think that one posters suggestion is great! Make a clause in insurance that says if you refuse the vaccinations and suffer ill health as a result of covid, they won't cover the bill.
Honestly, given how shifty insurance companies are, I'm surprised they're not already doing this!
Load More Replies...Yes, another pandemic wave is ramping up and hospitals are filling up in midsummer when they're usually pretty empty... for a pandemic that was almost totally preventable. The people who politicized and encouraged anti-vax fears need to burn jn hell for all eternity.
You can also blame the social media like Fakebook for not being more decisive in removing Covid deniers from the their platforms.
Load More Replies...Why do some people insist the pandemic is a hoax?! A hoax that the whole planet is in on except you? Really?
The most common variant of the misinformation hre in the US is that it was created so Biden would win the election. Other, less common variants include Bill Gates trying to control the country and 5G. It is very confusing, and their arguments are never convincing.
Load More Replies...There should be a global agreement that the vaccine should be compulsory during a pandemic. Anyone who can medically have it, should have it. You can have your 'personal choices' and 'freedom' after the virus has been eliminated - or at the very least, controlled. In the meantime, get jabbed and stop putting other lives at risk. Go live in China if you think you are being 'oppressed'. We are all in this together and that means you too.
I just don’t understand anti-vaxxers Why, just why, would you so adamantly refute what has been scientifically proven?? Then again, when I look at flat-Earthers and listen to their half-cocked assertions… I can only heave a sigh of despair. People, please, just please listen to scientific reasoning by trusted sources (e.g. the WHO or the NHS). Do not fall for all that pseudoscienctific rubbish that plagues social media. Vaccines are life-saving, believe it or not. Yes, you may test positive for COVID even after you’ve been vaccinated but imagine the effects of the virus on your body if you’ve NOT been vaccinated. Vaccines do NOT and NEVER make children autistic! NEVER!!!!!!! Vaccines save lives!!! Why aren’t you suffering from polio or smallpox? Thank vaccines for that!!! Do NOT ever spread misinformation and prey on others’ naivety by making nonsensical claims about vaccines. I’ll reiterate; vaccines save your bloody life and if you refuse to be vaccinated, too bad, mate!
Because it gives them the sense they are better than the rest "Ohh I know better, you are a sheep, you are blinded by the government, I have freedom you dont" and BS like that. Applies to flat-earthers too, but compared to them, they are harmless. BTW, remember this I heard a couple of day ago: "It's hard to have an argument with a genius, its'impossible to have one with an idiot" (or something like that)
Load More Replies...People are not smart, also why is a Vaccine still an optional thing? I got mine as fast, as i could. Others waste time with endless discussions.
I have plenty of sympathy for antivaxers but I save it from after they die of COVID so I can then send "thoughts and prayers"
Load More Replies...I'd definitely love to fly to U.S. to get vaccinated if I can. I'd like to get vaccinated real bad here but I just have to wait for my stupid government to bring the mRNA vaccines in. I even paid for the vaccine reservation myself even though the people shouldn't have to. Now I have to wait at least for another 3 or 4 months. :-(
It's so sad that in the US, EVERYONE has access to vaccine, and in many, many countries, people who really want them don't have access. Far too many in the US are very, very selfish and immature.
Load More Replies...LOL, loads of people would love to but can’t. Meanwhile these ungrateful turds have access but won’t take it.
Load More Replies...I spent the last 18 months working as a volunteer, doing triage, first-aid advanced, whatever was needed so our local hospital could deal with Covid. Then a couple weeks ago, they shut down our free vaccine clinic. B/c ... ??? And now Delta variant is hitting, the clinic is closed, we have no back-up, and the deniers still yell at *us* for not letting them go into the Covid wards, b/c we'd rather they didn't spread the dam* virus even more. OUR RIGHT TO LIVE SUPERSEDES YOUR RIGHT TO BE A GODDA*N IDIOT is a t-shirt we're considering for our volunteers. Not that we'd get to wear it, but we feel better talking about it. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. Every day, another denier, another crier ("Why won't you let me hold his hand? Why can't I sit with her?" ----- b/c it's a frigging pandemic disease!).... Another shrieker ("Why didn't you give her the cure!".... it's a vaccine, not a cure, there's a difference).... It doesn't stop even after all this death...
I will never understand these people who refuse to get vaccinated. I couldn’t wait To get mine.
Are there really people who think they won't get sick because they have a certain blood type or skin color? O.O
Yes. B/c there's a 1% less chance of severe respiratory damage with a certain bloodtype, people get the impression it's a 99% chance of not getting sick at all. No, it does not make sense. They prefer ignorance to information b/c ignorance is bliss and information is scary. Talk to the mass media. They report this sttuff in 10 words, leaving out buckets of relevant info.
Load More Replies...No sympathy for them. I can almost guarantee that most of these people are also the same ones that believe in the "Big Lie". People in third world countries are struggling worse from the pandemic BECAUSE vaccines aren't readily available. Most still have lockdown orders and most STILL have mandates that require quarantine and even curfews. Yes, people are struggling in the U.S but when you have the government providing FREE vaccinations and you still don't take them then that's on you. I've traveled a lot to Latin America since the pandemic, and yes, there are Covid deniers there too. However, it is so much more political in the United States and when presented with actual facts people still choose to deny it. Morons.
I can't wrap my head around the disconnect in logic in the US, where healthcare is bonkers expensive even with insurance, they are giving the vaccine FOR FREE. You don't get ANYTHING in the US for free except for someone's opinion (whether you ask for it or not in some cases). But they are turning it down and putting themselves in the position of, assuming they don't die, GOING INTO DEBT for treatment that there is a g-ddammed VACCINE for.
Load More Replies...Sadly, it seems dying and the occasional public shaming is the only consequence these anti-vax folks have. And even more sadly, their lack of consequences means very real possible consequences to the innocent people who they come in contact with.
Canada here Ontario to be specific. We are at the mercy of our politicians. I f we had been in strict lockdown we would not have had all the avoidable deaths here. We were the last to get the vaccines. If our P.M. had let Pfizer establish here we probably be one of the first to have the vaccine. I know a lot of anti vaxxers are only gonna get it so I can travel. I cannot understand them they should be forced to watch someone die of this plague. These poor Doctors, Nurses and Respiratory people who are risking their live for these people is just disgusting. I actually met a idiot in the Drs. office who said it was killing all the right people (old). I also had to contend with a doctor who would not mask up properly. He then whined to me that he got sick with Covid Told him he acted as thought that's what he wanted I told him to kiss my ass and left. He said I abused him! I know I'm ranting but that's wat stupid people make me do!
Upvoting ten times. I cant get away with being that way, but in my head? I'm telling these clowns that if I could make sure only *they* died of Covid? I'd be happy to sit back and let it happen at this point. I ran out of mercy six months ago. Patience? Pfft, lost that in 2020. If a medical pro won't mask up, etc.? RUN from them. You did good @Brian.
Load More Replies...'Say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives' So long as evidence-based medicine is being practiced.
People still underestimate covid. It can kill. Even young and healthy people.
People have chose their politics and cult leaders ahead of science and medical professionals. They can now live and die with these choices.
If they didn't take others with them who can't have a vaccine for other reasons? I'd agree totally.
Load More Replies...That's shocking - why aren't you considered a priority? I hope you can get it soon.
Load More Replies...It's still sad though. I could joke about "natural selection" and stuff but I try to remember that that's someone's child that had passed away. Imagine you, as a parent getting that phone call.
How many other people did they infect when they had the virus but weren't sick yet? How many people did they choose to kill because of their selfish stupidity?
Load More Replies...So I've been a paramedic for 15 years and I worked right through the worst of the pandemic in a hot bed area. I've seen plenty of people die pretty terrible deaths. I don't just lack empathy for these fools, but I despise their memory. They propagated this malignant nonsense and got people killed and now that it bites them in the ass I'm expected to pity them? They deserve what happened. They disserve worse because of the good innocent people that died from their willful ignorance.
I agree. And thank you for what you do. I can't in a million years imagine working as a paramedic during this pandemic. I hope you're okay and they give you a lot of time off.
Load More Replies...Oh...no... :-( I listen to NPR every day and read various newspapers. It is extremely rare for anyone to mention that little children can and do get sick from Covid. Yes, it's far less common, but it does happen. Many people thought, "Just let 'em die - they're old anyway". Which is wrong on many fronts, but from a PR standpoint, if people understood that younger people do die - and do get very sick with long-term effects - it might help persuade people to take precautions. But ever since the beginning, news isn't really reporting on it. I remember trying to find how many people under the age of 30 had died of Covid. This was maybe last fall. I would have thought it was a simple google search, but no. Could not find an answer on it at that time.
Load More Replies...Okay, maybe these people can't understand the research, distrust the government or are just plain dumb. BUT, it was no secret how rich people were jumping the line and hording the vaccine. That should have told them it was FAR from a hoax as rich people don't play games.....
My husband has a coworker whose boyfriend went to visit friends...came back home testing positive for Covid. He was fully vaccinated...so was she. She has not tested positive. I asked my husband to see what vaccines they had. I went with Pfizer because it had the best success of any of them.
And as with any vaccine - it's not going to be 100%. There will always be a small amount of people that simply don't develop the antibodies. And for that reason, we need to vaccinate as many people as we can to eradicate the disease. The less people that can have it, the less people can spread it.
Load More Replies...I know people who are vaccinated but not letting their kids get vaccinated. These kids want the vaccine but can't get it because it's illegal without parental permission. I don't care if natural selection takes out adult idiots who bringing it on themselves, but for the love stop robbing these kids of their safety, childhoods, and worst case: lives.
I am so angry and frustrated with people who refuse to get vaccinated. The misinformation out there is equivalent to "accessory to cause of death". Look around you people!! What part of reality don't you get?! To those who won't get vaccinated, there's no do over here. When the moment you finally get a clue that this thing is real is right before you get intubated, so now you REALLY DO want the shot, only to be told its too late for that now, you have no clue the level of inescapable terror that will explode in you when you realize that there's no way out of what is about to happen to you. We sedate you into unconscious right before we put the tube down & we keep you that way while its down. Just imagine, the last thing you ever see in your life is the ceiling of your hospital room, because we couldn't save you. Helluva way for it all to end. GET VACCINATED!!! YOU DONT WANT TO GO HERE!!!
What's also hard is I'm starting to hear stories about vaccinated people being hospitalized with Delta. They live, but long term health problems are real, and they can be debilitating. The virus is still mutating, and it's only a matter of time before it mutates among the unvaccinated into something that can fully blow through the vaccine.
You will not. One day you will, but until than: have a good life! God bless you!
Load More Replies...I'm fully vaccinated and still masking up. In the US, the vaccine is so damn easy to get. I have several paranoid friends who no matter what, refuse to get it.
Just had a 34 yr old guy die here. He was a member of a Christian church. Even while hospitalized, he stated he didn't need a ventilator, his God was stronger. All I could think of was the joke about someone praying to be saved from a flood, and after dying, asked God why they didn't save them and answer their prayers. And God said "I heard your prayers. You ignored the weather report, the boat from your neighbors, the helicopter from the National Guard, all sent by ME to save you."
I'm glad the doctor said she wasn't going to sugar coat it. I have zero sympathy for those selfish people.
Load More Replies...People should also focus on developing medicines for this disease not only vaccines. Some people can't take vaccine for health reasons but with good medicines they can be saved too. With medicines & vaccines there is a chance to save majority of people. We should remember that even if vaccines will give 95% of "immunity" it is still not 100%, 5% of vaccinated people will be ill, so they need medicines too. Medicines are same important as vaccines.
We have few medicines that work against viruses as it is. Viral infections are not very treatable.
Load More Replies...I just got my second jab yesterday morning, and I'm so glad that that's done now. I've been avoiding going out, I've just gone to the store, to see my parents, to therapy and doctor's appointments, and to a small private festival (nobody went there sick, nobody got sick there, so I don't feel too bad about going there) during these 1,5 years. In 2 weeks I'm going to see one of my best friends, I haven't seen him since this all started, and we're going to a festival. My vaccine will be in full action by then. I haven't seen my bestest friend this whole time either, because she lives so far away. I'm still going to wear a mask and be careful in general though, for as long as it's needed for real.
Small coastal towns here were keeping safe until the tourists came unmasked, unvaxed, uncaring to spread the disease here in our markets, restaurants and gas stations... Damn them!
I think the most important thing, although I must admit that I am sometimes also not very good at it, is to not get personal or even insulting. That won't turn any anti-vaxxers to see and accept the scientifical facts. Also, we cannot, should not and don't want to force anybody to get vaccinated, but we want to convince everybody to do so for their better good and for all of us as a community. The virus is our enemy, not our fellow neighbours. Also, the virus doesn't care about political interests.
It is a very unfortunate thing that it takes losing a family member to get these people to get the vaccine. This virus is serious and never ever should have been downplayed or politicized. I come from a family with a lot of immunocompromised people in it, so when the vaccine became available to me, you better believe I got it. I didn't want to make my transplant patient father, my kidney patient aunt, or my cancer patient aunt sick by not protecting them. Also by getting the vaccine, I was able to protect myself. This virus has taken so many lives and if two shots in the arm can stop that, we should all be all for it. If you are apprehensive about the vaccine, let me assure that it is safe and there are no serious side effects from it. The government is not putting a microchip in you and it will not make you magnetic. I had the vaccine a few months ago and I feel fine.
A bill is being introduced in Congress that would strip liability protections from social media that allow harmful misinformation about public health emergencies to be spread using their technologies.

I don't know what we can say to the denialists who say they don't know anyone who got covid, they don't see the trucks lined up at the morgues and they certainly don't hear the ambulance sirens wailing = it's a hoax. Expected death statistics is a thing. When graphs indicate higher mortality than the average of previous years, there's a there there. No, it's not about the trope that someone who goes to hospital for one reason now ends up with a covid cause of death. It's about a statistical daily average of X now being consecutively and consistently being X+Y. But noooooooooo, "you're just trying to take our guns awaaaaaaaay! "The sad part, that's an actual argument they barely manage to verbalize as to what the end-game could possibly be to this "hoax".
I hope this doctor is investigated for murder for not following standard protocol and incubating young healthy people who should NOT be intubated. CDC statistics show extremely low death rates among healthy people under 30 so obviously this doctor is doing something wrong and maybe intentionally to make a point.
The fact that she is intubating young healthy people is not standard protocol and has been shown to increase covid mortality ten-fold. CDC statistics show it is very rare for healthy people under 30 to die from covid complications so this doctor's treatment should be questioned.
Two things strike me as truly frightening here. First is that she claims all these young healthy people are dying completely contradicting CDC statistics showing that people under 30 rarely die from Covid complications. The second is how she talks about routinely intubating people which is how many people died. I know this article is 9 months old but the standard protocol of not intubating people has been around for a while now. I wonder how many people died not because of not having a vaccine but being intubated. Very very few young healthy people have died of Covid and intubation has been rejected as proper protocol in all but the most extreme cases.
The same b******t lies being told before the vaccine, are still being told after. They fail to tell you most of the people dying from COVID are also dying of additional medical conditions. Vaccinated or not has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately the government has given out money to anything COVID related. When that happens, the fraud runs rampant and the numbers become severely distorted. Just like illinois was supposedly having records COVID cases at 40k a day in January. The authorities started investigating fraud at several clinics, and within a month the number of cases dropped to 3,000 a day, and they keep dropping. That tells me the 40k a day was b******t, based on fraud that saw $184k given to one clinic alone. FRAUD
I live in a very tiny community and have known two otherwise healthy people (one in her mid twenties) pass away in the last 13 days when just a couple months ago there were NO cases in our tiny town. Both were unvaccinated. Please protect those who cannot get vaccinated or are two young to receive it. Protect yourself.
Give it a rest! Those of us that have decided that the survival rate of 99.9%, is better than the much lower survival rate of getting the jab!!

It should be obvious by now that nothing will convince the true believer. Not the threat of illness, the spectre of death, the fact of an actual prolonged death process, burying dead loved ones... nothing. All I can say is this is Malthus at work. I feel for those who bear the burden of having to care for these fools. We should save our empathy for those who have no choice. Those who choose poorly.... well, maybe they might serve as a bad example but it appears unlikely.
The COVID inpatients in a local hospital have TRIPLED in the past month. I personally know people that believe that COVID is listed as the cause of death on death certificates so that hospitals "get that COVID money from the Democrats". This persistence of misinformation will never stop thanks to #45 and his machinations. I've started wearing my mask again because my state is NOW #3 in the US for new COVID cases.
This article and the sheep that are commenting must have decided that, the truth about this "experimental gene therapy" they have welcomed with open arms, is too horrible for them to believe. The cat has been out of the proverbial bag about this for weeks!! Even the enemedia has shown snippets so God Bless the "guinea pigs"...
Personally, I've lost my patience and empathy for people who refuse to get vaccinated after more than half a million Americans have died of COVID. What empathy remains, I reserve for the children of these idiots, because they can't yet be vaccinated. And for infant children, who can't be vaccinated at all. These idiots are literally murdering their own children.
This doctor literally treated my grandma when she got Covid earlier this year(she survived). Please I'm begging y'all get vaccinated. I almost lost my grandmother. I also work as a 911 dispatcher. You don't know what you are doing and how frightening it is for all first responders when we see pandemic call go up in our CAD system. Love y'all stay safe.
My father passed away in the covid wing last October and the staff stole his wedding ring that he wore for 59 years. If you do have to go to the hospital, don't bring anything of value with you thinking they're all heroes there. All my mother wanted was the ring back and after a letter to the CEO of the hospital, all she got back was a letter saying, "Sorry you had a bad experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
that's one way to get rid of these people. they won't listen the talk? let's the death do the job. i don't care anymore about these morons
Same. I care about people, right up until they make it abundantly clear they need to wallow in stupidity and selfishness more than give a wet fart about others. Then it's like "Oh look, a human cancer cell." DIE!!
Load More Replies...I noticed recently a number of legal ads with attorneys offering services to people who have caught Covid even though they were vaccinated and took extra precautions. Now with contact tracing they are able to find out where and when somebody was impacted. Lawsuits are starting to happen. *On a more serious note Death is just one Avenue if you get impacted by Covid my friends kid is in her early 30s and she’s a long hauler. She is scared to death every day because she’s having a hard time breathing and she knows the virus may impact her cardio or respiratory system or her renal system in the future.
After reading all of the back and forth, I felt an urge to respond. I do not trust the vaccine. However I work with elderly who are very susceptible and I took the pfizer more for them rather than me. I also wipe everything down that I take into the house. We change cloths after we've been out in public and take a shower. All this for the aging folks in the twilight of their years and I don't regret it. However I do have side affects and I have been looking around to see if anyone else has side effects. Biggest issue is feeling faint, almost falling over. Walk 2/3 of a mile on a treadmill and I need to sit down or i'm gong to be laying down. I'm better now, up to 1.5 miles before it hits me. I used to walk the same 2.5 miles/hour for hours without an issue. Turns out I have an oxygen problem in my lungs. There are a few other issues and I have found out its not all that uncommon. And I also found out that we are not being told the entire truth.
I see some groups, including docs and healthcare workers, suing for the truth. I see official numbers of hundreds of dead children in the EU database with Thousands in the hospital. More than died of the virus. I found a mother trying to get the word out that her dead child was deleted from the database. There are reports of hundreds of folks not in the DB that should be. But I also see my place of work with at-risk elderly having no visible side effects. I know a facility in the area that lost 20 residents, not one has been affected in our facility and there have been dozens of ambulance runs to the local hospital for numerous reasons, non for covid or vaccine side effects.
Load More Replies...Wrong. Not one of those "cheap drugs" has been proven to have any effect whatsoever. No government has been trying to "silence" doctors and no doctors have been trying to share this information with the world, either.
