Manchin and Sinema are supposed to represent their constituents, not to help joe biden. the voters in those states get to decide.

whenever conservatives lean
left, the left says they’re heroes.

but when liberals lean right? the left attacks them as traitors.

Back to Covid
AZ had over 20,000 new cases of COVID on Friday, and the state has officially requested President Biden send military paramedics to help with overflowing hospitals. The Stable Genius Donald Trump is having a mask-free rally there today.

Number of cases no longer matters, 90% of us are going to get this.

me, my wife, and three kids are all
fully vaccinated, including boosters for my wife and i.

me, my wife, and two of my kids tested positive in the last few days. feels like a moderate cold
to all of us. nowhere near as bad as the flu.

we did everything right, and 80% of us have it in my house.

case counts mean absolutely nothing, because vaccines and masks don’t prevent this strain.

deaths are all that matters.

Relax Pete. Covid is in its dying phase, slipping from pandemic phase to endemic phase. The nastier strains have pretty much disappeared, replaced by a weaker version and herd immunity is gradually being achieved to the point where it'll be like the flue. Like the flue, shots every year especially for the elderly and immune compromised.

Probably happen in time for the 2024 election, or maybe even before the 2022 midterms. So you won't have to worry about Trump or the Republicans, and we can proceed to an unlimited central governing power which can't be stopped from delivering your desired universal health care, gun control, anytime abortion on demand, unimpeded immigration illegal or otherwise, the various Marxist/Post Modern Critical Theories practiced in our commercial and public arenas, and the death of Bannon Capitalism----

The utopian Progressive merge into a war ending and universal public and private equity producing global governance.

It's all just around the corner. You will have fought the good fight and won it for the blessed sake of your children.

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Staffing continues to be a top concern for Arizona hospitals.

"To me, it's the biggest thing that keeps me up at night," said Dr. Joshua LaBaer, director of ASU's Biodesign Institute. "That's the biggest scare. There are empty beds, but there's no one to staff the beds, and that's the big concern."


Mayo Clinic fires 700 unvaccinated employees, including in Arizona

Dec 31, 2021 Updated Jan 5, 2022

Nursing shortages compounding Southern Arizona health care crisis
More than 240 jobs are open at St. Joseph’s and St. Mary’s hospitals.

Northwest Health? More than 400 between its three hospitals, multiple clinics and now, a fourth hospital, Northwest Medical Center Houghton, which is scheduled to open next year.

At Banner Health’s Tucson locations there are 454 vacant posts, and more than 400 jobs are available at Tucson Medical Center.

Of these 1,500 or so openings, which include laboratory techs, radiology workers, housekeepers and other support services, the greatest number of vacancies continues by far to be for what the community needs most: nurses.

There are roughly 600 nursing vacancies in Tucson right now.

Love this

Their are people who have gotten Covid the original delta and omicron
And vaccinated…. You must be a rand Paul fan and his natural immunity stump speech

And this right wing taking point Mayo Clinic fires 700 unvaccinated employees, including in Arizona


That has zero to do with staging shortages. Hospitals have kept staffing at the bare minimum for decades (. Profit!) then Covid hits mass retirements across the country after the 1st Covid wave then the 2nd and NOW floods the hospitals again with patients

And conservatives suggest it’s because they fired people who wouldn’t get the vaccinated… Pay attention this issue of shortage of nurses is nation wide and it follows the infections from state to state but this time this new highly contagious variant is just infecting more people faster across the country at the same time . PS an RN can’t just become an ICU nurse or an OR nurse or maternity Nurse, some like to think that’s how it works

Supply and demand strikes again

Supply and demand strikes again

now you can be vaccinated and infected and go to your job at the hospital with the most transmissible form of the virus to date....it's almost like they want everyone to get it... I wonder how many go to the hospital, not because they need to...but because they've been terrified by the media for so long that getting it means they'll die

i don’t think the president or governors any longer have much control about keeping case counts low. the data seems to support that, as case counts are exploding all over the country.

if you disagree, that means you’re saying case counts are still in our control? if you believe that, then since cases are skyrocketing, doesn’t that mean biden is failing?

your comprehension is so bad, you’re not able to see that i was giving biden a free pass for what’s happening right now. fine. you therefore think he’s doing a miserable job.

vaccines do almost nothing to keep
people from catching the omicron variant. vaccines do help, in that they help prevent you from getting very sick.

nothing can stop case counts right now, until it fizzles out. that’s not a right wing talking point. if i was spewing partisan babble, i’d be blaming biden which i’m not.

you really, really stink at talking about this stuff.

is there any data which says the vaccines put a good dent in case counts of the omicron variant? huge numbers of vaccinated people are getting covid now. but as you’ve pointed out, they don’t often get very sick.

case counts no longer matter. almost all of us are going to get it, unless you don’t leave your house.

keep in mind that omicron is pretty mild for most people which is likely the biggest reason people aren't getting very sick....not sure if we can say that for healthy people it keeps them from getting very sick...there is no way to measure that....

I was listening to a public issues show this morning...apparently some of the biggest surges hospitals are now seeing are eating disorders and mental health issues....

I know some unvaxxed people that got it...it was very mild for them...that's not to say it doesn't cause problems for other folks obviously(settle down pete)

I read an article from pete's state recently that said emergency rooms there were being swamped because people were doing the at-home test, getting a positive and then racing to the emergency room, probably worried they were about to die

The United States is now reporting 158,263 current coronavirus hospitalizations, the highest number since the pandemic began, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services.

There’s detailed data on 3rd shots and vaccines from Alberta.

Essentially: “The hospitalization rate among 3x-vaccinated 80+ year olds is lower than the hospitalization rate among unvaccinated 12-29-year-olds.”

Europe’s drug regulator warns excessive COVID boosters could lead to ‘problems with immune response,’ joining WHO in pushback

the entire statement

On Tuesday, EMA vaccine strategy chief Marco Cavaleri said there was still no data supporting the need for a fourth COVID vaccine dose. And even if multiple boosters do prove to be necessary, they would need to be spaced out in the style of annual flu jabs, rather than delivered every several months. He also warned that overly frequent booster doses could potentially lead to "problems with immune response."

thanks for the whole story

heres another Trump now trying to distance himself from Picking Brett

now he is blaming Mark Meadows classic Trump

Meadows Talked Trump Out of Yanking Kavanaugh for 'I Liked Beer' Remark

[Pete F.]

Silly, Sinema thinks she’s going to be President and Manchin is in it for his family’s fortune.
That’s why Sinema has no chance of being re-elected and her delusional idea that she’s the centrist candidate for President is just that, delusional.

West Virginia is ranked where it is among states because Manchin cares about his pocketbook while his state ranks in the bottom 5 in almost every data point.
Taxes are cheap there and nobody has teeth, it’s your kinda place.

What happens at Georgetown stays at Georgetown, I like beer was never over the line drunk and F.B.I. assistant director, Jill C. Tyson, said that the most “relevant” of the 4,500 tips the agency received during an investigation into Mr. Kavanaugh’s past were referred to White House lawyers in the Trump administration, whose handling of them remains unclear.

The letter left uncertain whether the F.B.I. itself followed up on the most compelling leads. The agency was conducting a background check rather than a criminal investigation, meaning that “the authorities, policies, and procedures used to investigate criminal matters did not apply,” the letter said.

That’s plenty of due diligence for a lifetime appointment 🤡

Now it seems Ron’s sees the benefit of kowtowing to his anti vaccine and pro freedom crowd Paying Trump as pro vaccine and anti freedom and blamed "people like" Dr. Anthony Fauci

You don’t get it do you ..Iam not saying anything but Ron is

Ron’s taking a hard right Turn suggesting Trumps a moderate lol

Trump “uncharacteristically out of step with the hard-line elements of his party’s base.” DeSantis’ COVID response in many ways follows an anti-science playbook set in motion by Trump, who now, with even his lukewarm defense of vaccines, is perhaps no longer extreme enough for his own movement. “DeSantis may or may not actually be more delusional on COVID than Donald Trump,”

Desantis is being a political jerk with the vaccines, I agree.

People aren't dying when they take the vaccine. the vaccine works. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take their vaccine...I recommend that you take it."

yet, You deny that Trump is pro vaccine. whew.
