COVID hospitalizations and deaths remain high

More than 280,000 COVID hospitalizations could have been prevented by vaccinations in recent months, according to a new study, which also found that hospitalizations among the unvaccinated cost more than $5 billion. Manuel Bojorquez has more.

I think it's odd and I'm sure I am not the only one that hasn't noticed it either. The news use to report the amount of deaths. Now they only report the amount of cases. Seems strange to me.

The whole thing can be prevented by ignoring corporate media

So they go out of their way to talk about how much money was spent on medical care due to a preventable issue. I will wait on the edge of my seat for their next video giving the total money spent on medical care due to complications with smoking cigarettes and type 2 diabetes.

Why do videos like this only talk about vaccination and never bother mentioning how important overall health is? I'm not saying one must be picked over the other. As someone who voluntarily chose to get vaccinated before it was mandated, I'm in favor of both. But overall health needs to be mentioned WAY more often.

Not quite sure what to believe anymore.

Can you state the study? These generalities are unacceptable! No beds or no nurses??? Yet they want universal health care!

Be scared, hide in your home's, live in fear 😱

This morning, study says most of those hospitalized were mild or asymptomatic. The daily caller.

"If someone dies WITH covid-19, we are counting that as a Covid-19 death." - Direct quote from Dr. Birx at the Coronavirus Task Force press conference. You could literally make a stuffy nose the leading cause of death using this rule.

I love how it literally flashes the words "dangerously high" on the screen. No stats to back it up, nothing. just words.

this is such a joke

Fear fear fear. Fear sells

What a hot steaming pile of doo doo this all is...

[joeb]

Has anyone noticed all these news outlets reporting a lot these same type of stories for months now? Someone should look into it.

*Just a reminder:* CDC defines "covid hospitalization" as ANY hospitalization with a positive test result ... including car crashes, etc.

reference a study but don't cite it? wtf. Some of us would like to actually read the science. If you want to actually read a study type in "Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections"

[geddoe]

lol 5 billion dollars? the obesity epidemic costs this country anywhere from 150 to 200 billion per year

[tedwilson]

The newsreaders are telling us what to do? I choose independent thought. It’s worked for a lifetime. God Bless All.

[randallgoldapp]

Does all this include the so-called 'breakthrough infections'? The vaccines don't stop the virus.

Nonstop propaganda. Reading the comments on these videos helps to restore faith in humanity 😊
