COVID-19 cases nearly tripled in the U.S. over two weeks amid an onslaught of vaccine misinformation that is straining hospitals, exhausting doctors and pushing clergy into the fray.
“Our staff, they are frustrated,” said Chad Neilsen, director of infection prevention at UF Health Jacksonville, a Florida hospital that is canceling elective surgeries and procedures after the number of mostly unvaccinated COVID-19 inpatients at its two campuses jumped to 134, up from a low of 16 in mid-May.
“They are tired. They are thinking this is déjà vu all over again, and there is some anger because we know that this is a largely preventable situation, and people are not taking advantage of the vaccine.”
Across the U.S., the seven-day rolling average for daily new cases rose over the past two weeks to more than 37,000 on Tuesday, up from less than 13,700 on July 6, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Health officials blame the delta variant and slowing vaccination rates. Just 56.2% of Americans have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

If the vaccines work, like we are told they do, then why do you or anyone else have to fear those who have not been vaccinated? If I wear a mask or you wear a mask why do we have to "social distance", shouldn't the mask prevent one of us from catching the virus? I worry about individuals as well in my family due to age and underlying health concerns, but it is their choice to get vaccinated or not, not your choice, my choice or anyone elses...until such time as the government is 100% upfront with us, my choice to be vaccinated or not is mine, for 26 years I got "stuck" by Uncle Sam because I had to while wearing the uniform whether I wanted to or not. Those days are done, what I choose to get vaccinated with or for the purpose of is my choice, and that is something that neither you nor anyone else will or can do anything about.

SrA Ronald Moore - Please do not think that I am "attacking" you or your beliefs personally, I am merely putting forth my beliefs in general when it comes to this entire Covid-19 debacle. If I come across that way I do apologize.

The Communications I received is “ right on “ , but the matter at hand is Why are you willing to not take the shots, Vaccines ? I took the Shots, Vaccine Moderna Feb.28, And March 26’21 and all I ever had was A real bad headache off and on, Now Stiffness in the neck I guess where I end up after I awake from sleep, It could be from the shits , but it could be from Too much sugar in my diet Which I felt while I was losing weight from263 to get back down to my Military weight of 150 lbs. back in June’75, Anyhow , I am alive after it all, but Just Like The Flu shots I take every year, Or any medicines We take, Even Vitamins are medicine, Weight Loss meds’ , We crave life therein , but what we do with ourrightscan promote life or usher in Lifestyles unbecoming Of Our beliefs, I salute you for the reason you will fight for what you believe, And so Will I, But we got to save lives. We Are Back right where we started, but that’s ok, I guess, Hopingyou will live to be 110 or more years ago.My Other Reason for The first View Of If they do not Want to take the Shots, Why not ?My Concern is not fear but I used to not care at all after I got out of the AirForce, But I couldn’t Out run God, And All that caring Overwhelmed me, I take nothing from My Years in the Military, I just Love to focus on life and living it,After the Military In 1979 I didn’t Care Cause Of Views Of each side of the coin, I would say If they want to Choice something else besides living, Its their right, But There is a thin gray area there and it's’ Borderline sucide, , but it’s also Holding steadfast until Improving on one’s rights to not Choise The vaccines with Maybe something better.After Choosing to not have to take the shots what is life for you now SFC William Swartz ? My concern it could be a thing where some will live out the shots, but A lot of those who also choose this route could lose life !Some could have complications which will help them lose that life or better it, Or throw it away and have Others stand there at their Funeral and say what else could They have done.What we do with our rights do affect others.Nevertheless, If you ever need A savior, Look to that personal belief I have, Turn to John3:16,17 while you Do all you do the stand without the Vaccines, And It was not fear that made me say what I say, It’s like one day seeing A Nursing home resident choose to not take a flu shot and She was pronounce dead, The next day, it’s was like yesterday, I was talking to her. I just love life and love to have it more abundantly Sir!SFC William Swartz Jr
