If you’re requiring oxygen because of an infection with COVID then your lungs are DAMAGED. The MORE oxygen required, the MORE damage to the lungs. 🫁
Those lungs of the child in the CT scan will NEVER be the same again. Tragic.
When the lungs are completely damaged and can’t oxygenate the blood then patients are placed on ECMO, which uses a machine to oxygenate the blood. This allows the lungs to hopefully recover. If the damaged lungs don’t recover then lung transplant is the next option.

This 🧵discusses the CDC report of a COVID outbreak in Massachusetts during July 2021. In Q&A format it address vaccination status, hospitalizations, deaths, types of vaccines, symptoms, variants and more. I went through the report line by line. 1/15 cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
During July 2021, 469 cases of COVID-19 associated with multiple summer events and large public gatherings in a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, were identified among Massachusetts residents; vaccination coverage among eligible Massachusetts residents was 69%. 2/15
How many of the 469 infected by COVID were vaccinated?

🔹Vaccinated: 346 (74%)*
🔹Unvaxxed: 123 (26%)

This shows that the vaccine does not prevent transmission. However, the vaccine was created to prevent SEVERE disease, which it does.

*Pfizer, Moderna or J&J vaccine 3/15
