This is an example of why they ought to kick out the anti-vaxxers from hospitals

The family of a Cullman antique dealer is urging people to be vaccinated against COVID-19 after medical workers were forced to transport him to a free hospital bed nearly 200 miles away from his home.

Ray Martin DeMonia died Sept. 1 after suffering a cardiac event on Aug. 23. He was three days shy of celebrating his 74th birthday.

In his obituary, DeMonia’s family says hospitals across the South swelled with COVID-19 patients meant that medical staff at Cullman Regional Medical Center had to look elsewhere.

A man quite likely needlessly died because a bunch of useless oxygen thieves refused to get vaccinated because Bill Gates, mRNA, arrogance and the Donald Trump cult

9. My brother said his ICU was 110% over capacity and so were the nearest 10 ICUs.

All filled with anti-vaxxer morons who refuse to get the vaccine.

11. Let them have their own hospitals, docs, and nurses, out by the stables. . . . nt

13. Or just set up triage tents in graveyards -- it's where many of them will end up anyway.

Don't admit them to ICU units if there are vaccinated people who need those beds and life-saving equipment.

12. Rachel Maddow is covering this now on her MSNBC show.

14. All hospitals should reserve at least two ICU beds for non-Covid patients.

If they have to turn away Covid patients, tough. They chose to not be vaccinated and most likely to refuse to wear a mask to protect themselves. Why should they get treatment when vaccinated patients who did the right thing have a heart attack and need to be treated.
