What Next Doctors?
Aug 23, 2021 Opinion, Vaccines
There is a story that a large number of doctors at a Florida hospital will not treat patients who have not been vaccinated. The story actually indicates that they walked out rather than treat patients who have not been vaccinated. These doctors sound like a bunch of whiny people looking for attention or looking to use their positions to coerce people to get vaccinated.
To be fair, there are fact checks that indicate that the doctors did not refuse to treat unvaccinated patients and their walkout was more of a time between patients to come out and express their frustrations to media.
However, this idea of not treating the unvaccinated is not fresh. A doctor in Alabama has already told his patients he will not see them after 1 October 2021 if they have not been vaccinated. Did these Florida doctors indicate they would not treat patients and then realize the legal issues involved for the hospital and pull back on their story? Who knows? But let me forge on and those doctors who are thinking the same way can get a different perspective.
By the way, if these doctors merely want to complain, fine. I think patients should complain when doctors schedule them for an appointment and then have them sit for hours past that time. Maybe if the doctors were not out crying about unvaccinated patients they could see people on time, but I digress.
So before I discuss the issues in the article, I have a few questions. The first is are these doctors treating patients who HAVE been vaccinated but still got Covid? Before you start with the mindless BS the media spews, yes fully vaccinated people are being admitted to the hospital with Covid. There are plenty each day (most of the people in the hospital with Covid in Israel are vaccinated) but you probably need names and they do not usually publish the names of some unknown person so how about this. Jesse Jackson and his wife are fully vaccinated and have been admitted to a hospital for Covid.
How many patients coming into these facilities are illegal aliens who have not been vaccinated and were instead dumped in Florida. Will these doctors not treat the illegals the government dropped off?
Where do these doctors draw the line? You see, if they can say they would rather walk out than treat unvaccinated Covid patients (assuming that to be the case) what is to stop them from walking out rather than treat an obese heart attack patient? Will they go on a rant and tell people to lose weight? Will they stop treating fat people all together? Will these doctors walk out rather than treat a smoker with lung cancer?
You see doctors, people make choices in life and sometimes those choices are not good for them but you are not the moral authority here. Your job is to treat people who come in with a medical problem. If you want to give them educational material and discuss vaccination (or weight loss or smoking cessation) then fine but you do not get to pick and choose what you will treat because you do not like the choices.
One Doctor, J.T. Snarski (who has online comments indicating she is rude) was interviewed and here is what she had to say:
“It’s incredibly frustrating,” Dr. Snarski said. “Because we know vaccines are safe and effective. And it’s people who go out and talk against them that really go against physicians and medicine and science. And it’s not the message we want to get across to people. Vaccines are safe and we need to get our communities vaccinated.”
Hi Doctor Snarski. Could you please tell me the effects of the mRNA “vaccines” five years after administration? Can you tell me the effects ten years down the road? Can you spell out any of the long term problems the drugs cause? No, you can’t because they have not been studied that long. They were developed (sequenced on a computer) and then tested and then the EUA was given. The control groups of the tests were lost when the drug makers broke protocol and vaccinated them. There is nothing to compare to. We do have the vaccine reports indicating there are issues with some folks because of this drug.
I credit Snarski with the gifted speech of a politician. She said vaccines are safe and effective. This is a true statement about vaccines in general, you know the ones that have been tested for years and years and then used for years and years. She never said the Covid vaccines are safe and effective. How do we know when this technology has never been used before? They cause your cells to grow things that are not part of the human anatomy. Humans do not normally grow spike proteins. What long term effects might occur because of this? Since we have never used mRNA for vaccines before we have no historical data to look at. No tests or anything.
As an aside, Novavax will use tried and true technology that involves growing the proteins in insect tissue and then using the proteins to induce an immune response. We know that method is safer and has a history of use. Most people are not anti vax (some are but not most). They just want something they can trust a little more than something new that has no track record. Offer something like that and more people might be willing to get vaccinated. Regardless Dr. Snarski, you do not get to tell them what to do in any case.
Part of the story (which was on Morning Joe) had this gem:
“What Americans don’t understand is for every unvaccinated person that is filling up an ICU bed, that means, with the hospitals jammed, somebody with a heart attack, and I’ve known somebody in this position, goes there, has trouble getting in, can’t get treatment, can’t get a bed, it is a nightmare for the doctors, it is a nightmare for the nurses,” Scarborough said. “And to the doctor’s point-of-view, it’s worse yet for sick people that want help from them.”
Really?
Until Covid came along the scene described above played out in nearly every hospital in the nation during a normal flu season. I worked in hospitals for years and years. During EVERY flu season we had overflow beds in hallways, in other parts of the hospital and in the ER. We had to board patients in the ER until beds opened on the floors. Even when we were on bypass the ambulances would keep bring patients because every other hospital was in the same situation. Any nurse who works in a hospital can tell you this. It is rare to have a flu season that is not as described. And yes doctors (and Morning Joe) we had heart attack patients come in when we had no place to put them. That is when hospitals exercise their plans and make sure everyone gets treated.
And this is in a population that normally gets the flu vaccine. Who knows, maybe these doctors will start refusing care to the people who do not get the flu shot.
Today the FDA rushed through the approval of the Pfizer vaccine in order to fulfil its political duty to the ruling class. If Pfizer is now approved does it lose its immunity from litigation should the drug cause harm? If your employer mandates you get it and you get sick can you sue your employer? A what point do we rise up and squash this tyranny?
BTW, many years ago I was a medic on an ambulance. Can you imagine the uproar that it would have caused if we rolled up on an accident and the driver of the car was obviously intoxicated so we refused to treat him?
Doctors, above all else, primum non nocere (first, do no harm).
