‘This is not complicated’: Maddow blasts anti-vaxxers as yet another GOP-led state rations hospital care
“We are following breaking news out of the great state of Alaska where Alaska’s Republican governor, Mike Dunleavy has just announced that Alaska has now become the second state in the country to declare that all its hospitals statewide will now be shifting to crisis standards of care,” Maddow reported.
“What that means, in English, is that hospital care is now being rationed at hospitals in Alaska. In practical terms, that means that people who are less likely to survive get moved down the priority list in terms of whether or not they get an ICU bed, whether or not they get certain intensive forms of treatment and care,” she explained. “People less likely to survive will not get those resources, they will be moved down the line.”
Maddow noted the crisis is not just in Alaska, but two other states with GOP governors.
She said that crisis standards of care “is a thing that we really haven’t confronted before as a country. Now we’ve got it in place, though, in one of Montana’s major medical centers — they moved to crisis standards of care this week. We’ve also got it in every hospital in the state in Idaho as of last week and in every hospital in the state in Alaska as of tonight.”
Them as has, gets. It’s always been true, and those that has like it that way. Including me, truth be told: I’m in the “you need the booster” demographic, and I’ll certainly be getting it.
Maybe some some Red State people will decide to get the vaccine for free so they can deny other countries from getting them at whatever cost.
Can not understand why people don’t get the vaccine.
Just look at the numbers. It is just plain stupid not to get the vaccine. Got a relative that is anti vax. She thinks vaccine gave her son autism. She should know better, she is a RN.
We are buying and sending out millions of doses. It would be nice if some of our own would get the shots too. I’m waiting for a booster to protect myself from the ignorant who want to die.
43.91% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.6.03 billion doses have been administered globally, and 28.15 million are now administered each day.
If U.S. citizens aren’t going to use the COVID vaccines, then better to give it to citizens of other countries rather than let it expire.
Some people think that they can’t get infected from the virus if it is outside their country’s borders – all while blaming other countries for creating the virus and bringing into their own country…
Considering that the Corporate Conservative Lamestream Media has conned the Right-Wing Sheep into rejecting the life-saving vaccines, why haven’t Red States donated their excess vaccine doses to poor countries, Bobby?
Do you know why? Because Right-Wing Sheep have no hearts and no souls. They’re nothing but Black Hate-Ichor inside.
I’ve been saying all along, take the shots that the Magamorons are refusing and send them to the countries that don’t manufacture the vaccines. However, make sure you let the idiots know exactly who is benefiting from their stupidity!
Congress mandated smallpox vaccinations in the early 1900s. The President cannot order people to be vaccinated. He doesn`t have the authority to do that. Neither do governors or mayors. It is congresses job if vaccine shots are to be vaccinated. The GOP governor is correct. He doesn`t have the authority.

Haiti has less than 1% vaccination rate, hopefully those we repatriate are given the opportunity to get vaccinated…

So, trade in an assault rifle for one shot, sounds fair.

People that can afford it from poorer countries are coming here to get vaccinated.
We have states that are throwing out expired vaccines.
I have no problem helping poorer countries get their people vaccinated. Far better than throwing out vaccines.
Want Covid in our past? Get vaccinated!
(fully vaccinated since before the end of May. would have done it sooner, but waited for my turn)

Give them the crazy Red States’ share of the vaccines. They’re too dumb to use them.
