We’re in Little Rock, Arkansas because of a sharp rise in COVID19 infections

•Of the Covid patient hospitalized: 98.3% are not immunized
•99.6% of Covid related deaths involve ppl who aren’t vaccinated
.@drcampatterson: “If your concern is that the vaccine will cause problems for you, compare 319 COVID-19 positive patients in our hospitals versus ZERO patients in our hospital is because of complications from the vaccine...”
Tomorrow on @CBSThisMorning you’ll hear from Ashton Reed, a 25yo Arkansas mother who didn’t believe in getting the Covid vaccine. Neither did her husband. She got sick.
Then hospitalized.
She was pregnant.
She deteriorated rapidly.
She & the baby were in danger of dying.
Doctors essentially evacuated the baby, prematurely, through an emergency C-section because Ashton was losing oxygen & so was the baby. Ashton is now out of the hospital & sharing her story in hopes of reaching other vaccine skeptics like herself. (She’s no longer a skeptic)
The numbers and percentages provided above were given out today at the Governor’s weekly press conference. You can watch here

Seda Colón described the vaccination as "blackmail" & “cheating for the church”

He’s the Puerto Rican, studying medicine in Mexico, who was injured in an explosion.
As a U.S. citizen, he was flown to a U.S. army burn center for care. His insurance didn’t pay.
The U.S. govt has cancelled his debt
