•90.5% of all active Covid cases in AR. involve ppl not fully vaccinated
•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.

“FEMA analyzed 4.8 million aid registrations submitted by disaster survivors between 2014 and 2018 and compared applicants' income. The findings include:
▪The poorest renters were 23% less likely than higher-income renters to get housing help…” npr.org/2021/06/29/100…
“The poorest homeowners received about half as much to rebuild their homes compared with higher-income homeowners — disparities that researchers say cannot be explained by relative repair costs…”npr.org/2021/06/29/100…

!!!Alexis Hernandez’ 1.7 million dollar medical bill is now 0.
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
Here was my colleague @annawerner’s report about Alexis’ fight for financial justice: cbsnews.com/news/us-citize…
“I feel like I already have less weight on me. Right now I have just had surgery. It's time to focus on myself. This chapter is closed ”, Alexis said.

He was burned on 71% of his body.
Now, he can focus, solely, on his healing.

God bless you, @alexisjoelpr
