I agree. And lung transplants aren't any great answer either. The survival rate on those is nowhere like it is with other organs. I know, my friend the paramedic in ATL is a longhauler and her doctors are beginning to discuss putting her on the list. Most transplantees average life expectancy of 5 years from what I read, and the percentage of rejections is higher than with other organs.
She didn't have the luxury of a vaccine when she caught it, and since then has been in and out of the hospital and rehab 5 times. Each time up until this one they would clear her for duty, and she would work 2-3 weeks, get worn down and catch another case of bronchitis which would develop into pneumonia, or dbl pneumonia. This last round had her coughing so much she herniated a disc in her back. Now she's back home two weeks, they send a nurse 3 times a week. She sleeps most days. we exchange a few texts, because talking wears her out. And its a daily strain financially, on top of the depression and anxiety that goes with it. She's finally on disability, and with the CTC starting to help, I think she can keep a roof over her head and not have her car repoed. Slowly she is working towards getting her cert for medical data entry from home.
So fuck anyone and their dumbass arguments about not getting vaccinated. Yesterday was her 38th birthday. Her four kids could be orphans by this time next year.
If anyone sees anything about support or retraining programs for long haulers, please let me know. This is going to be a long long issue we will deal with as a country going forward, with a lot of variables. Thanks.
Show me the fucking data that unequivocally shows vaccinated people do NOT transmit Covid. I'll wait.
Again, fuck anyone who argues against vaccination. I don't give a damn if they die, but they better not clog up and wear down our healthcare system that also treats those who did give enough shit about humanity to try to protect everyone.
If a girl has unprotected sex and gets pregnant, then by God, not only will we not pay for her abortion, but she can't even have one! They have no problem meddling with what a woman can or can't do, but well, except for this. The government has no place in encouraging citizens one way or another health wise, right?
Yeah, and they are paying for those supplements on the third SEC Visa card they took out in their 4 yo's name.
But Trump's vaccine was safe, Biden is the one who is taking advantage and adding micro chips. And those micro chips are there because the vapor trails are not working fast enough. China has nothing on Biden when it comes to killing wypipo.
Maybe if everyone was positive and agreed that getting vaccinated was a good thing, then all demos would have better numbers? But no, the R's keep putting out disinformation which will trickle down one way or another into all those demos.
