🚨BREAKING: #Idaho enacts “crisis standards of care” due to hospitals being overwhelmed by the #COVID19 surge, warning that some patients won't get needed care.

So many UNVACCINATED are now sick that healthcare resources must be rationed.

PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF THIS.🤬
If you need critical care but are unable to get an ICU bed because the hospitals are overwhelmed with unvaccinated #COVID19 patients, your chances of survival are slim to none.

#GetVaccinated
No, it’s NOT #ObamaCare that led to these “death panels” in @GOP-stronghold #Idaho.

It’s the UNVACCINATED.🤬

🚨#Idaho’s ICUs are so overwhelmed with #COVID19 patients that they may have to start **rationing healthcare resources** within days.

“All of the ICU #coronavirus patients were generally healthy people who simply didn’t get vaccinated.”

What does “rationing healthcare resources” mean?

It means if you or your loved one in #Idaho gets sick enough to need ICU care, someone else may have to be removed from a ventilator to make room for you.

#Idaho Dr. Bill Dittrich on rationing healthcare: “I don’t think anybody will ever be ready to have the kinds of conversations and make the kinds of decisions that we’re concerned we’re going to have to be making in the next several weeks.

I’m really terrified.”

🚨Far-right propagandist/#Russia🇷🇺Insider founder Charles Bausman took part in the #January6thInsurrection, then *fled the country to Moscow* leaving his 2020 Christmas lights and an American flag dangling from his porch.

@MichaelEHayden #TrumpRussia
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021…
Shortly after moving from #Russia, Bausman & his Russian wife moved to Lancaster, PA in 2018. He pushed hard-right causes, including anti-lockdown protests during the #COVID19 pandemic & #StoptheSteal lies & hyped the #January6thInsurrection on social media. Then he disappeared🧐
Since then, Bausman made 3 TV appearances in #Russia talking about the #insurrection *in fluent Russian*. He pushed the lie that the election was stolen & asked a host to avoid saying he actively participated in the insurrection b/c he didn’t want someone to “show up at his door”

🔥Federal judge sanctions Team Kraken—Sidney Powell, Lin Wood et al—for “abusive” litigation practices, ordering them to:

▶️pay attorneys’ fees for all defendants
▶️complete continuing legal ed
▶️ referred them to state bars for *possible disbarment*

“This lawsuit represents a historic & profound abuse of the judicial process. It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated w/an allegedly fraudulent election. It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court…

…and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated.”

Wow.

Treating #coronavirus patients in a post-#vaccine world:

“99% of the patients being admitted are unvaccinated. They’re sicker when they get here. They require more acute care while they’re here. And unfortunately, many of them are not surviving.”

statnews.com/2021/08/18/hea…
#COVID19 patients’ decisions are prolonging the pandemic.

“It’s extremely frustrating, the ignorance of people not getting the vaccine because they don’t believe in it, or they don’t think it’ll help them. You have the chance to get them. They’re free. And people still refuse.”
The most common way patients leave the #COVID19 ward is DEATH. Others leave b/c they’re no longer infectious & can be transferred. A select few are “stepped down” b/c they improve. But staff expect few, or even none, to make full recoveries.😰

ICU doctor @thanh_neville says she “cannot believe the things UNVACCINATED patients are telling me.

My experiences in the ICU these past weeks have left me surprised, disheartened, but most of all, angry.”

#GetVaccinated #COVID19

“I am angry that the tragic scenes of prior surges are being played out yet again but now w/ICUs primarily filled w/patients who’ve chosen not to be vaccinated…I am angry at those who refuse to wear ‘muzzles,’ as I have been so-called “muzzled” for much of the past 18 months.🤬
“I cannot help but recoil as if I’ve been slapped in the face when my ICU patient tells me they didn’t get vaccinated b/c they ‘just didn’t get around to it’…a decision to NOT protect themselves or their families Their inaction is a decision to let this pandemic continue to rage

🚨Trump’s Acting AG Jeffrey Rosen told DOJ & Senate Judiciary that Jeffrey Clark—acting DOJ civil division head—tried to help Trump throw the 2020 election by pushing DOJ to falsely claim that “election fraud” cast doubt on the Electoral College results.
nytimes.com/2021/08/07/us/…
Clark had unauthorized conversations w/Trump about ways DOJ could cast doubt on Biden’s victory. Clark drafted a letter & asked Rosen to send it to Georgia legislators, wrongly claiming they should void Biden’s victory because the DOJ was investigating “voter fraud” in the state.
‼️@SenBlumenthal said Rosen discussed his interactions with Clark with the Senate Judiciary Committee. He called Rosen’s account “dramatic evidence of how intent Trump was in overthrowing the election.”
