Yesterday we told an unvaccinated 49 yr old patient that he had COVID. He yelled that we were lying & that covid was not real. Then he tried to spit on us. That's our new norm.

COVID isn't a hoax
COVID isn't the flu
COVID doesn't care if you're healthy
There are no experiments

My rain of covid patients today. Only 1 is vaxxed & on high flow O2 texting. The rest, unvaxxed, - intubated, laying on their bellies, on dialysis, sedated & paralyzed. I'm sweating in a plastic PPE like took a shower in scrubs & having new face wounds. #Tired #GetVaccinated pic.twitter.com/YQQ9owesoF

There’s a lot of misinformation out there, so let me state the facts: If you’re vaccinated, you’re unlikely to get COVID-19.

And if you’re vaccinated and still get COVID-19 — it’ll most likely be a mild case.

Vaccinated people almost never are hospitalized with COVID-19.

23% of new COVID hospitalizations in the U.S are in Florida, and their hospitals are being overwhelmed again.

We are doing everything we can to help the people of FL, and they're stepping up by getting vaccinated – we hope @GovRonDeSantis joins us in this fight. https://t.co/53y97ngQ4E

When Congresswoman @repjulialetlow (R-LA.) looked at soaring Covid cases in her state, yet again, & a very low vaccination rate in her own district, she decided to tell her story & that of her dead husband, in hopes others will get vaccinated. Here she is: pic.twitter.com/BDWwEfiBvM

Can someone please explain why Govs DeSantis and Abbott are signing legislation to keep Floridians and Texans unmasked and prevent vaccine mandates when Florida and Texas account for a third of all new COVID cases?

COVID cases in Arkansas are up 69% over the past 14 days. Gov. Asa Hutchinson says he regrets signing a ban on mask mandates in schools & wants the legislature to reverse it.
Florida cases are up 128%. Gov. Ron DeSantis threatens to defund schools that require masks. 🤦🏻‍♂️
