COVID-19 patients in ICUs at a Florida hospital are 'begging' to be vaccinated, nurse says

The unnamed nurse, who works at the Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida, said that patients are desperate to be vaccinated.Almost all of the patients in ICUs at the hospital have not yet received a shot, CNN reported.

The nurse often has to remind patients that the right time to get vaccinated is before getting sick, she said.Patients in intensive care units with COVID-19 at a Florida hospital are "begging" to be vaccinated, a nurse toldThe unnamed nurse, who works at the Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida, said that patients, the overwhelming majority of whom are unvaccinated, are "at a loss" for what they can do to stay alive.

"Every single day... you're getting ready to intubate the patient in ICU, which means putting them on a ventilator, and they say, 'If I get the vaccine now, can I not go on the ventilator?'" the nurse told CNN's Randi Kaye. She said that she has to repeatedly point out that the right time to get a COVID-19 vaccine is before they get sick.

"They're desperate because they're gasping for air, they can't breathe, they're scared, they feel like they're going to pass away," the nurse continued. "They're just asking for whatever they can do to possibly keep them from being put on a ventilator because once a patient gets on a ventilator, it's really hard to wean them off."Three patients told Randi Kaye that they would get vaccinated if they survive their spell in the ICU, CNN reported.

and there are those who have had the shot..that are in the hospital but we're not hearing about that..pretty soon there's going to be a false claim of running out of the vaccine to make people get it..

As well...most would be in the ICU from a simple cold due to co-morbidity. So when are we gonna have a Rhino-virus vac? Help put that $80B cold treatment industry out of business...

This is a lie

Florida has a let-them-die mentality. As long as they pay up first. really we were considering a cruise in the near future... with these moves to block protocols hell naw!! This is what happens when you make a health issue a political statement. Masks and vaccines are very easy to do unless you have some other health issue. I pray for all medical professionals and front line workers. So exhausted from this upheaval.
