Doctors and nurses, you’re all heroes, but at some point you have to prioritize your families over stupid people who refuse to vaccinate. God bless!

I am so glad I got the shots. It is interesting to see what I avoided.

If you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death. It means technically even if you died of a clear alternate cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it's still listed as a COVID death. So, everyone who's listed as a COVID death doesn't mean that that was the cause of the death, but they had COVID at the time of the death." - Dr. Ezike, Illinois Director of Public Health
