I plucked this video from Dr. Jetelina’s post and want to share it because it is so powerful. Thank you Dr. Jetelina.
As FAKE experts on Fox News and elsewhere downplayed COVID as part of Trump’s political strategy, immunization lagged. Even now, Trump / Desantis aligned doctors lacking infectious disease training continue to call for an end to vaccination. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died as a result of their efforts to downplay COVID and encourage vaccine refusal.
Forgotten however are the roughly 2% of COVID survivors who are left debilitated with long COVID. This video shows what long COVID is like. It so easy to forget about the 1.1M Americans who have died of COVID. They are are gone. They can’t speak from the grave. But the long COVID victims are still with us and their voices must be heard.
I do some work as a consultant evaluating requests for lung transplants. The other day, I authorized a transplant on a child whose lungs were destroyed by COVID. That makes three so far for me. So much for fake experts who say kids don’t get very sick from COVID and shouldn’t be vaccinated. Perhaps they should donate a lung.
Vaccination has been proven to reduce death, severe disease and long COVID. So the next time some fake COVID expert discourages vaccination remember the Physiics Girl.
The tragedy of long clot shot. It is largely preventable.
