Good point. In addition, the funeral director seems to have a bloody axe to grind.
Oh, and also this
The article in the OP was written in November. Want to guess who had to be admitted to the hospital in January with what he described as "very nasty covid"?
That's right, funeral director O'Looney himself.

Stick to your Pfizer paid for news feeds and keep pulling for Trumps warp speed agenda. You have been wrong in life many times. This is one of those times.Lets see...sources are:
The Gateway Pundit
The Center Square
The Covid World
Yeah, this seems like totally legitimate reporting.
Yeah but you’re only a Dr dealing with this on the frontlines everyday what do you know? And did you even bother to read the redstate opinion article? How about reading the truth from covidisalie.com once and a while “doctor”.
Amazingly stupid quote about Neil Young from former Man Show host and longtime right wing hack Adam Corolla.
Stuff as nutty as these guys post doesn’t seem to influence the forum, or the general public, thankfully. But things like myocarditis and alleged fertility issues do - maybe not posters here, but vaccination rates among kids and young adults are lagging behind the rest of the population.
I'd bet that the crowd that believes in all of these conspiracy theories represents more of the country than you'd think. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 25%. It correlates pretty closely with anti-vaxxers.
Question for you. If you or a loved one got cancer, would you question the treatment the doctor recommended? What if it was an experimental treatment?
There are plenty of people who feel that way, but it doesn’t seem nearly as prevalent as the anti (covid)-vax movement. Not 25% of the population. Then again, maybe there are a bunch of people dying at home, without ever seeking healthcare for their tumors?
If people feel bad enough, they usually relent to Western medicine. Or their family forces them to.
My anti-vax wife told me if she got very sick from covid she'd just ride it out at home and last place she'd go is the hospital. These people just believe everything they see on social media. I just shook my head and said that's your choice but I'd goto the hospital.
Agreed, we'll soon have lost 1M folks from this virus despite onerous measures to prevent and contain the spread.
There's nothing in the links with anything close to evidence of the vaxxs being dangerous.
Well said. We're losing over 3k Americans a day again from this and the misinformation leading to people not getting vaccinated is a bit part of it.
Oh I’ve clicked those links…hundreds of times over the last year or so. Had the same arguments and appealed to people’s good nature in every different way possible. Same garbage, same bad faith, same conspiracies to get the smooth brains to think they’re sMaRT and know more than the doctors and scientists on the front lines. It’s the same tripe packaged a slightly different way; over and over and over again.
their minds are made up - because they believe the shots they didn’t take do nothing to stop covid - that makes them sleep easier at night. if the shots are helping, are not causing damages long term .... man that's a hard thing to admit being wrong about
Can he at least change the title?
Congratulations on typing all of that in response to my post yet not AT ALL addressing the point of the post your responding too. In fact I can make a case you only proved my point. Impressive.

Again not the point I was making.
Look most are seeking confirmation bias, that was my point to the OP in my post a few days ago. He’s not looking for the truth, he’s looking to support his narrative, as are you, as am I. The difference imo is that while there are good questions being asking by the anti crowd the data is overwhelming in favor of the pro crowd. Now that does mean it 100% in that direction, it’s not. There some interesting data showing the other side. But as of now it’s overwhelming in one direction. And that’s that the vaccines are safe and highly effective against severe cases or death. I know you disagree and I have no desire to litigate it with you, plenty here have already, and to my original point you have no real interest in being wrong or admitting it, so I’ll leave it here.
I've had a handful of patients who have had concerns about fertility. Just have to educate, then jab 'em while they're distracted.
Nice. Then cash the giant check from Pfizer, amirite? I know me and the hospital I work in are just awash in all that extra covid cash. That's why we have amazing retention rates, huge job satisfaction, no signs of burnout, and have given 75% raises to all of the hospital staff...Tecumseh said:
My best friend's wife is the head nurse in a major Pittsburgh hospital with more than 40 years as a nurse. She is also a longtime Republican, watches Fox news religiously and still supports Trump. She would be the last person to back big pharma or liberals. Back in December she said they were putting Covid patients in hallways because they had no where else to put them and that nearly all of them were unvaccinated.
Not scary in Florida. We have been open since summer 2020. We aren’t wearing masks. We are living as if this never happened. People fly in by the tens of thousands from all over. No pandemic here. You can even walk in the gas station with no shoes or shirt and still get service.
As I said believe what you want but when you go to sites that runs stories that are overwhelmingly negative to one side you can be reasonably sure you are not getting an accurate portrayal of the situation.
Yeah, it was certainly a big part in radicalizing a few of my friends. They've been pushing false news about economics/finance for a long time, not surprised to see they are doing it about Covid too. It's just another bad and misleading post.
