If these figures are real then the vaccination drive is a disaster…more vaccinations more covid cases…nuts!!!
Just so you understand, almost all patients with COVID-19 in hospitals are unvaccinated. There are exceptions, of course, but that is what they are, exceptions.
Sure, Whatever you say. I say that the Vaccine is total bullshit.
Did you read the article, because nowhere does it say that…maybe you have some insider information…are you not aware that vaccinated folks can get infected and also spread the virus flu…but of course the powers that be keep mum about that…it messes up their narrative…
You are a liar or just very uninformed. All over the globe reports are coming in that cases of infected are at or exceeding 70% FULLY VACCINATED. You can’t keep up these lies. Too many people have been injected to even try. This virus cannot be stopped. It never could and it never will. No measure taken will stop the Corona Virus. It’s a FAMILY OF VIRUSES because of the rate of mutation. We will no longer live in tyranny over this BS. If you want to, have at it!!!!!
This article is a massive lie. The actual published article in Listín Diario speaks of 90% Covid-Only beds. And those beds have been reduced over time. It’s another scare tactic on a VERY AGING SCAMDEMIC!!!!!
Many people have not been vaccinated. That is a choice you make. That makes your chances of becoming severely sick more likely. There are break through cases, but still the vaccine has worked. I am talking about Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson and Moderna when I say they have worked. From what was reported previously in the news Dominican Republic different vaccines were available to the people.
Worked? The vaccines have worked? The most vaccinated countries on Earth are seeing the highest amount of sickness. The areas with the lowest rate of vaccinations are seeing the lowest amount of sick. So what does the ACTUAL SCIENCE tell us? And I’m not talking about your propaganda TV, MSM, and censored Google searches. Hard evidence is pointing to a massive failure the likes of which no other vaccine in history has seen.
It would be helpful to know the vaccination percentage of those hospitalized but that is something the governments of all countries are desperately trying to hide. Maybe it’s the money trail or maybe they have no other option until the Covid pill is available.
this too is Big money for the politicians and Big Pharma but we really need vaccine data that’s truthful to make informed decisions. The number of vaccinated in the US hospitalized is rising everyday but still no real data as the FDA does not want it reported.
so until main stream media decides to report the real news we are at their mercy so far even in the DR.
The best health advise is to get extremely healthy and exercise like a runner IF YOU CAN. That’s better than any clot shot.
Hola Amigos; Just for the record here in British Columbia where we have public health care and reliable information not censored or beholden to any pharmaseutical company. 90% of covid hospital patients are UNVACCINATED. You figure it out!
