  • They refuse alcoholics a liver transplant unless they stop drinking, right? Hospitals have been turning away patients anyway after they are full. It's just a question of which patients are turned away... The last to arrive or the unvaccinated? Edit to add what it looks like when they just take every patient until full:
  • My suggestion is that hospital administrators make a policy that no unvaccinated Covid patients are accepted once the ICU or the hospital as a whole are at 90% capacity. That's generous, tbh... Probably should just be no unvaccinated patients at all (even non-Covid patients). Edit: Is that specific enough?!
  • Yes, it does seem as though people have thought everything was an emergency for decades. Luckily, my only issue since covid was when I was just sick... I couldn't get an appt with my Dr. and ended up going to urgent care. Turned out it was just e. coli. If I couldn't get into urgent care, I would have just hoped it went…
  • This remains frustrating to me... I honestly think these people should go to the back of the line for care. When a hospital is >90% capacity in Covid wing, they stop taking unvaccinated patients and keep the space for vaccinated patients. Similar to how smokers go to the back of the line for lung transplants and alcoholics…
  • I don't plan to hire her anyway, but for reasons unrelated to the vaccine. We have no vaccine requirement where I work.
  • I was interviewing a candidate for an open position today. When I asked why she left her last job, she said it was because of the vaccine mandate. That last job was at a healthcare facility. *sigh*
  • I have family that are Seventh Day Adventists (grandparents and uncle/aunt), and they all got vaccinated and have never had religious objections to getting medical care.
  • Yep, I remember that I saw that event as an anomoly and made the point that media should stop focusing so much on that and using it as an example to spread the message that vaccinated people are more likely to get severe illness than unvaccinated people (statistically true in that case). It's important not to make…
  • I have been using these periodically as well. I plan to travel (by car) across the sputh east US in another week (TX to FL to TN to KY and back to TX... going through all states in between). So I'll be careful with that.
  • Maybe someone mentioned this already, but I didn't see it here: there is a new variant identified. It seems there are small numbers so far (10 peoplespread between 3 countries and 2 continents), but seems like something worth watching.…
  • Here, vaccinations have been available for adults for months. I don't know if this person was vaccinated, but I know he had the opportunity to be. It's a co-worker and we even brought the National Guard on-site in July and Aug. to distribute vaccines to anyone who still needed and wanted one.
  • I know someone who has been sick for weeks already... in and out of the hospital and on oxygen when he was out. He still is testing positive despite seeming to feel better. This guy is 30s or 40s, so youth is not going to save everyone.
  • I am a member of a professional medical organization. My day job is as a controller (head of accounting/finance), but I hold a niche professional-level medical certification. This is a niche organization and includes medical professionals from various areas. I was with a group with that organization this past weekend and…
  • The unvaxxed where I live also go to stores, restaurants, etc. without masks. Walmart is now just recommending unvaccinated customers wear masks. But for the brief time it was a rule, unvaxxed customers still didn't wear a mask. Then again, when Walmart required masks for everyone, people still didn't wear it and nobody…
  • I would like to see hospitals that are near capacity limit care to only vaccinated patients. It's unfair to the heart attack patient a few hours later who can't get a bed because they took an unvaxxed Covid patient.
  • I know in the mid-90's, as a type 1 diabetic, I was taught that we should swab with alcohol before piercing the skin. The logic was that we kill anything harmful on our skin before we create an opening where it gets inside our body. I'm aware that this has changed in recent years, but things like that take a lot of time…
  • I have no gall bladder, eat carnivore, and I have bile acid malabsorption. If you are having diarrhea after eating high fat meals, you might look into this. Bile acid malabsorption is when bile acids fail to be recycled. Normally, farsenoid-x receptors will take those bile acids from your small intestine and send them back…
  • Why low sodium? We need a lot of sodium when eating such low carb because uptake isn't very good.
  • I'm a T1D and use a CGM, so I've had decades of experience with BG changes except I don't actually make my own insulin (unlike you). IMO, this sounds completely rational. You're a T2D and not taking insulin... you eat low carb, so you are going to be more carb sensitive anyway. To be fair, there are a lot of T2's that…
  • Tesla has figured out how to take old chips, reprogram them, and use in new vehicles. Elon Musk shared this in August as the explanation why Tesla has not been affected by the chip shortage as other vehicle manufacturers have been. So in reality, the chip supply is more relevant to traditional gas vehicles made by major…
  • Agreed! In my town in Texas is a hospital that offers antibody infusions and serves 5 counties (other nearby hospitals do not have this available). They have today increased capacity to now be able to provide 50 infusions daily (was about 30 before today). It is hopeful that this will keep people out of hospitals and open…
  • I have heard that rumor, that people die from car wrecks with Covid, so it gets reported as a Covid death. If you go back a year+ in this thread, you might notice that this was discussed here. I don't recall where this was ever proven. Just because someone claims there were masses of misclassified deaths doesn't mean it…
  • Just because someone does shortly after getting a vaccine does not mean the vaccine caused their death. It's possible, but just as likely that they got another illness or has a heart attack that would have happened anyway. There is not enough information there to say the vaccine caused their deaths. Likewise, it was…
  • My point was about LDL particle size. LDL is often demonized as "bad cholesterol" unjustly, as there are different particle sizes. Not all LDL is "bad."
  • Regarding cholesterol - keep in mind that LDL particle size is important. Many doctors are still living in the 19th century, unfortunately. If your dr. refuses to do a particle size test, the ratio of HDL:Triglycerides is a very reliable indicator. You want that to be at least 1 to be absolutely safe (i.e. HDL is greater…
  • I currently eat an excess of calories on a carnivore diet. Many of those excess calories are of poor nutritional quality (low micronutrient content and incomplete protein) nutrients... pork rinds. Does that mean I am actually eating SAD?
  • There are many who say that organs are necessary because they contain more micronutrients, but I have never seen any evidence of that. To the contrary, I have seen evidence that beef muscle meat contains more than the RDA of micronutrients except vitamin C, for which the RDA can be argued is too high for carnivores because…
  • Those of us who have been carnivore for years know fully well that fiber is only necessary to process plant foods. When eating only meat, there is no need for fiber. There is often less waste volume, but this is different than being constipated or "backed up."
  • Yes, there are quite a few carnivores. Some of us have been doing this for years.
  • At my workplace, it doesn't matter if someone has been exposed (vaccinated or not), they have to come to work unless they are having symptoms. That is what HR says when someone has been exposed to someone outside of work. But when we had a bunch of people exposed at work, HR demanded they all take the day off and get…
