Group of South Florida doctors walk out in protest over unvaccinated COVID-19 patients

More than 75 doctors at a South Florida hospital have walked out in protest over the rising cases of COVID-19 and the refusal of some patients to get vaccinated, in a stunt that has been amplified by Occupy Democrats, MeidasTouch and other Democrat-run organizations on social media.

We really need to do better.
“There have been 170,852 total hospital admissions among thirty somethings from the beginning of August to August 11. From the week of July 29-August 4 to the week of August 5-August 11, the seven-day average of admissions jumped from 908 to 1113. In the words of Ron Burgundy from the 2004 movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, “Boy, that escalated quickly”
(…)
“Vaccination rates are probably playing a role as well. According to CDC data, as of August 15, less than half (49.9%) of those 20 to 39 years of age have been fully vaccinated. Compare that 59.1% of 40 somethings, 68.4% of those in the 50-to-64 year age range, 82.6% in the 65-to-74 age range, and 78.3% in the 75-plus age range. That’s going to leave quite a few thirty somethings as risk for not only catching the virus but having worse Covid-19 outcomes.”

Cuba and U.S. Government

' #Cuba continues to be a #stimulus to #poor and #underprivileged #people. It keeps making that clear, for example, by sending #doctors all over the #world at a rate way beyond any other country despite its current straits, which are severe, and by maintaining, unimaginably, a #health #system that is a deep #embarrassment to the #UnitedStates. Because of concerns such as these, and because of the #fanaticism that goes way back in #American #history, the #US #government, for the moment, at least, is continuing the #hysterical #attack, and will do so until it is #deterred.'

Cuba ~ End the Embargo

‘If #JoeBiden or frankly any US politician #cared about the #Cuban #people, they’d push for an end to the US’s #crippling #economic sanctions on Cuba.’

‘All people have the right to #protest and to live in a #democratic #society. I call on the Cuban government to #respect opposition rights and refrain from violence. It’s also long past time to end the #unilateral #US #embargo on #Cuba, which has only #hurt, not #helped, the Cuban #people.’ …. #BernieSanders

‘It’s important to remember that before the #Cuban #Revolution, Cuba was a #colonial #piggy-bank for #American #capitalists to #exploit. The revolution stopped the United States from treating Cuba like its little plaything, which the United States has never been able to accept.’

‘The US continually punishes #Haiti & Cuba because these are nations that successfully #revolted against #white #supremacist #empires in generations past.’

‘The #whole #world has spoken against the US embargo against Cuba. In the #UN #GeneralAssembly, 184 countries voted to #condemn the #blockade. Only two, the US and #Israel, voted not to. Cuba loses $9.1 billion a year due to the blockade.’

‘Not only is the US blockading Cuba, they are claiming #veto #power over any other country which wishes to send Cuba #food and #medicine.’

‘The choice is clear. Which side are we on? The US, which continues to #violate #international #law by decades of crippling #sanctions even in the face of a #pandemic, or Cuba, which has created five different vaccines and sent thousands of #doctors to #heal #people around the world?’

‘Nobody is charged a dime in Cuba for their #treatment. But in the US, people are denied treatment unless they have tens of thousands of dollars to pay for medical bills. Again, which side are you on?’

‘In addition, Cuba has: – #Guaranteed #salaries; – #Nationalized #BigPharma; – #Distribution of #food, #electricity, and piped #water.’

‘The US is trying to create a #self-fulfilling #prophecy with Cuba. Cripple it with #decades of sanctions, then try to initiate an #astroturf #regime #change operation. This is typical M.O. for the #PoliceState.

'Never forget the explicitly stated goal of the US government’s murderous, #illegal, 60-year blockade on Cuba: to " #weaken the economic #life of Cuba," and " #decrease #monetary and #real #wages, to bring about #hunger, #desperation and #overthrow of #government."
