590 - ThankMedical feat. Andrew Hudson (1/3/22)
Added 2022-01-04 04:13:50 +0000 UTC
We’re joined by friend of the show, Episode 1’s own Andrew Hudson, to discuss his experiences as an ICU nurse throughout the COVID pandemic, and why he decided to quit. We also discuss Rod Dreher’s investigation into homosexuality in the far right movement, and Jair Bolsonaro’s return to the hospital.

Is it possible that the anti-vax machine pays people to subscribe and spread propaganda in the comments?

This is one of your best episodes.
You can hear the trauma in the voice of your guest.
My cousin is a doc in an ICU, and he looks haunted everytime I see him.
The description of this looking like a war that was lost years ago was a brilliant insight.

Lilith-- we're on the same page. I've enjoyed the show for many years but you're right, circa Bernie's capitulation they started going off track, and all throughout Covid their coverage has been indistinguishable from any mainstream outlet. Which is sad.
Right now there are vaccine mandates and restrictions in NYC-- their own backyard-- that discriminate against people, disproportionately against African Americans. But have you heard one word of commentary about that from them? A single mention? Nope. None. They're into animal videos on Youtube instead.
All the recent labor struggles that are going on? Especially if it's related to vaccine mandates, they don't touch it with a ten foot pole.

They probably put their survival of the ormicron head cold down to the vaccine, the same vaccine that they're pretending didn't give their father a heart attack, and didn't cause their girl friends mysterious long covid like syndrome. The people on these pages have bought as deeply into the propaganda as the chapo boys. The lack of a left wing critique of these dangerous, ineffective, highly lucrative vaccines and the roll back of our human rights is shameful. For myself, every time they mention covid/vaccines I find myself toying with cancelling my subscription. They've seemed really lost since Bernie capitulated to the DNC, and their coverage of covid/vaccines has done nothing but covered them in s**t.

It is horrifying, and if you were orally raped or molested as a child, then you can imagine how much worse it is even to be tied down by strangers and have this penis shaped object stuck down your throat for days on end (and you have no way of telling the nurses and doctors doing this to you about it until afterwards, because the trachy tube stops you from being able to speak).
Lilith
2022-01-07 22:07:30 +0000 UTC
The 1000 deaths a day are still from the residual delta variant. there hasn't yet been a confirmed case of anyone dying of ormicron (dying with, but not dying of. You know, like how George Floyd died with covid but of being strangled to death). Ormicron is now overwhelmingly recognized as less severe then the flu, comparable to a seasonal cold.

Great episode. My buddy died from diabetes at 37 a few months back. The state was paying for his dialysis and whatnot but not giving him money for healthy food or anything else really. Infuriates me

OK, you've convinced me. Everyone who is not vaccinated has either died of Covid or will die of it soon. Omicron is not more mild than previous variants; it's much more deadly. Vaccinated people cannot get or transmit the virus. Universal health care is bad because even unvaccinated people get it; let's never do that. We need another two years of lockdowns and mandates; they work perfectly, we just have to do them more and believe in them. You've all changed my mind.
Bong Bong

Take more ivermectin you fucking dork. Why should we have universal healthcare when only unhealthy and old people mostly need care??

Yeah 800,000 dead and way more on the way, the world is moving on... into the next world. Honestly bud you're a POS, but I'm saying that for my own benefit, not yours.
AKorgar
2022-01-06 20:06:10 +0000 UTC
There's also plenty of evidence that Omicron is mild; I was just referring to my experience and those of people I know who got it. The WHO just dubbed it "less severe" albeit chafing at calling it officially "mild"; its comparative mildness is well documented. But if you want to pretend it's not significantly more mild than other variants, whatever. Triple up on your N95 masks and hyperventilate some more. The rest of the world is moving on from this pseudopandemic.

Classic right wing Cro-Magnon evidence. "Oh, you brought data? Well that wasn't my personal experience, therefore you're wrong." Nice. The fact you weren't in the percent of people who had a rough go of it is statistically meaningless.

So, my brother-in-low got COVID and he was vaccinated plus there were three people at work who were vaccinated and got COVID. How does your fancy math and percentages and fractions explain that ! Plus none of those people went to the hospital. Plus my friend’s friend got moo-carditis from the vaccine.

didnt your degree have some courses on research methods and shit at least? maybe you didnt do too well in those ones :\
If the vaccine is ineffective then why are a disproportionate number of unvaccinated people dying and going to hospital and ICU at a higher rate compared to vaccinated people? Canada had some numbers showing something like 20% of the pop being unvaccinated but them making up 1/2 of the hospital cases and 2/3 of the ICU cases
Whats going on with that data if the vaccine isn't at least somewhat effective? No scientists claimed it was going to be ironclad protection

Hi Chris, I got my degrees from the same stupid liberal arts schools you did. My occupation is posting totally no-brainer, obvious shit on Patreon that shouldn't be controversial but for some reason is.
Bong Bong
2022-01-05 22:53:07 +0000 UTC
With the huge spike in Covid the past few weeks I find it hard to believe there aren't a few more people on this Patreon page who got Covid themselves and learned firsthand that it's not a death sentence. Are y'all really that stupid that you still think catching Covid necessarily equals time in an ICU?

Chapo also recommends drinking alcohol, which is nothing more than a big wet kiss to their love partners the DEMOCRATS (Who doesn't drink? Trump!!!!!!!), and they also wear shoes, just like a DEMOCRAT threw at Bush Jr. in 2005 (or whatever)! And since Biden loves socialism and so do they, we know whose dick THEY want to suck.

Lol. Boo hoo podcast talked about real thing honestly instead of my fantasy world where I have an infantile relationship to everything so now they are liberals.
God the listeners of this show are weird.

2022-01-05 21:55:30 +0000 UTC
The data I'm looking at is my own Covid; just got over it. It was a mild cold, nothing more. I, who am unvaccinated, got it from my brother, who is vaccinated, believe it or not. I did not need to go to a hospital. Like I said, a mild cold.
Bong Bong
2022-01-05 21:32:36 +0000 UTC
Yeah, and "it's 9/11 every day." Which sounds like a hysterical Republican talking point from the 2000s but now is being spouted by Chapo and much of the Left. Healthy young people were never at risk from Covid, vaccinated or not, but for the Left it seems de rigeur to pretend that a Covid "case" = death or at least time in an ICU. It doesn't. It never did.
Bong Bong
2022-01-05 21:27:34 +0000 UTC
it's killing a thousand Americans a day, that might be "mild" compared to delta's 4000 American's a day. But if you told someone from before the pandemic that a disease killing a thousand Americans a day was "mild" I still think they'd look at you like you have grown a second head.
Gregory Martin
2022-01-05 20:40:33 +0000 UTC
not sure which data you're looking at but my interpretation from recent numbers is that the vaccines are very effective at preventing hospitalizations and ICU

happy to be of service in the fun facts department. let me know if you need more!

Will's friends who got Covid didn't have to go to the hospital for two reasons: #1 they're all 25 year old Brooklyn hipsters, and #2 omicron is really mild.
It's not solely because they're vaccinated that they didn't wind up in an ICU. Sorry, but vaccines don't make that much of a difference.
I've come to expect the finger-wagging and Fauci-worship on this podcast (which used to be a lot funnier and smarter) but please update your rhetoric occasionally.

Fun facts: You can definitely get COVID on an airplane but fresh air from outside is constantly being circulated throughout the plane via the engines; all the air also goes through massive air conditioning PACKS that have HEPA filters in them.
Not as safe as being outside but it's not just 1 little can of air like most people think. (This is standard for all 6 abreast or 4 abreast jetliners).
As well, during COVID it's been standard operating procedure to run the air conditioning/filtering packs before people get on the plane. Basically, if you get COVID on a trip it's probably gonna be in the airport itself
