Alabama is seeing its highest number of Covid hospitalizations since February as its Republican governor blames the unvaccinated for the exploding number of Delta variant infections.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – With sagging vaccination rates, the state is seeing its highest number of Covid hospitalizations since February as its Republican governor blames the unvaccinated for the exploding number of Delta variant infections.

On Monday, intensive care unit nurse Barbara Thornton learned that one of the hospital’s Covid patients – a pregnant woman in her 20s – had died. "It's time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks,” Gov. Kay Ivey said last week. “It's the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down."

Ricky Hamm was a medevac helicopter pilot who tested positive for Covid three days after getting a vaccine before it fully took effect. He’d spend 187 at UAB Hospital – 147 of them on ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. It’s a device that removes a patient’s blood, filters out carbon dioxide and adds oxygen. Essentially, it acts as a patient’s heart and lungs and is used on seriously ill Covid patients.“I’m more thankful than I can explain,” he said in an interview.

U.S. won't lift travel restrictions, citing spike in Covid delta variant casesNEW: The US will not lift foreign travel restrictions due to concerns over the rise in Covid-19 delta variant cases, according to a White House official. The US currently bars entry for most noncitizens who within the last 14 days have been in the UK, European Union nations, Ireland, China, India, South Africa, Iran and Brazil. Unless they fly to Mexico and wander in illegally. Then they'll be provided services, resources and transpiration. Covid or not. This is just one of the reasons so many are ready to vote against the establishment and all of their fraud. We simple have nothing left to loose. Economy over common sense and human life’s. Let’s face reality. We live in an oligarchy where profit is all that matters. Therefore a vaccine that make billions for pharmaceutical companies is the choice. Even if it doesn’t work.

U.S. won't lift travel restrictions, citing spike in Covid delta variant casesCases are up among the unvaccinated and that increase appears likely to continue in the weeks ahead. I feel great sympathy for the people who cannot be vaccinated for legitimate medical reasons. As for the ones too ignorant or stupid to get vaccinated when they could? No loss.
