LEADERSHIP—A major N. Carolina hospital system, overwhelmed by unvaccinated sick, fires 175 unvaccinated employees. 99.5% of @NovantHealth’s ~35,000 staff have #vaccinated. If only @UNC_System mandated too—a dead 20-yr old UNC student’s blood on its hands. washingtonpost.com/health/2021/09…
2) if Novant can mandate vaccinations, so can @UNC_System, unless UNC leadership is complete cowering cowards. @UNC_Basketball @UNCFootball @GoHeels games should have vaccine mandates too.
3) “We stand by our decision to make the vaccine mandatory as we have a responsibility to protect our patients, visitors and team members, regardless of where they are in our health system,” Novant Health said in a statement.
4) “We couldn’t be prouder of our team members who made the choice to receive the covid-19 vaccine and remain part of our team at Novant Health.”
Rivers told WaPo that more than 99 percent of the system’s roughly 35,000 employees have followed the mandatory vaccination program.

⚠️NATURAL IMMUNITY versus VACCINES—Which is stronger? Let’s compare reinfection breakthroughs vs vaccine breakthroughs: ➡️Natural immunity is **MUCH weaker than vaccine** protection. By how much? HUGE—Vaccine is 📌9x stronger in May, 📌2x stronger during #DeltaVariant.🧵 #COVID19 Image
2) Let’s walk through data together—look at the red circled column of reinfections - which is how often previously infected people with natural immunity got a breakthrough - 1000 reinfections per 100k… this is 9x higher in May & 2x higher in July-Sept than vaccine breakthroughs. Image
3) This data comes from Oklahoma health department. Ironically Oklahoma has good reinfection and breakthroughs tracking even though their vaccination rates low. Data also shows **COVID Reinfections Have Jumped 300% Since May**! So much for natural immunity

NO FLY ✈️ LIST FOR ANTI-MASK AIRLINE TROUBLEMAKERS— @Delta Air Lines wants to create a national "no fly" list of banned passengers—pushing other airlines to share their lists of passengers who have been banned during the pandemic for disruptive behavior. businessinsider.com/delta-air-line…
2) "We've also asked other airlines to share their 'no fly' list to further protect airline employees across the industry," Delta said in the memo. "A list of banned customers doesn't work as well if that customer can fly with another airline."
3) Delta has put more than 1,600 people on its own no-fly list since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the airline said in the memo. news.delta.com/memos-reflect-… Image

📌United Airlines has begun terminating 600 unvaccinated employees (<1% of 67k).

📌American Airlines is “not putting mandates in place”.

📌Delta Airlines only mandates for new hires, but +$200/month unvaxxed employee.

💡Fly @united, not @AmericanAir. nytimes.com/2021/09/29/bus…
2) United had already begun its process to terminate 593 U.S.-based employees who declined to be vaccinated. Workers losing their jobs because of noncompliance with the mandate make up less than 1 percent of the airline’s U.S. work force.
3) “We will work with folks if during that process they decide to get vaccinated,” the spokeswoman said. United Airlines did not give a timeline for the termination process or a breakdown of the job categories of the fired workers.

Ivermectin prescriptions soared 24x—and then FDA received “49 reports of poisoning and other serious reactions linked to human consumption of ivermectin so far this year. Of those 49 cases, 14 resulted in deaths.” #COVID19
ft.com/content/9715bd…
2) As a reminder, maker of human ivermectin Merck has also completely disavowed the drug. @Merck is no saint - and for even them to disavow ivermectin for #COVID19 - let that sink in!!!
3) last month, 70% of calls to Mississippi poison control calls are for ivermectin!

💡VACCINE MANDATE?—a young 20-year-old UNC student is now brain dead from #COVID19 complications—his mother begged, cajoled, nagged him to #vaccinate—she now begs you. ➡️damning—@UNC_System doesn’t mandate vaccines—he caught COVID 2 days after arriving. 🧵
wbtv.com/2021/09/27/dev…
2) Apparently, the @UNC_System is abdicating campaign vaccination with some BS punt to @ncdhhs—UNC knows full well they can also indirectly demand it via requiring it for attending @UNC_Basketball or @UNCFootball or @GoHeels sports games. But they don’t.

3) We honestly need to be more creative with getting young people to vaccinate. This @FamilyGuyonFOX video probably has more impact than any CDC or regularly doctor for their audience.

MIXING SHOTS—The elephant in the room that FDA/CDC has completely failed to address is mixing boosters—especially for J&J & Moderna recipients who are still waiting—J&J most urgently. Angela Merkel 🇩🇪 had gotten AZ + Moderna. Canada allows mRNA mixing. 🧵 medpagetoday.com/special-report…
2) mixing and matching became something of a necessity in Europe, as vaccine hesitancy with AstraZeneca ran high there following reports of unusual blood clotting. Many European countries moved ahead with mixing and matching AstraZeneca with mRNA vaccines. medpagetoday.com/special-report…
3) Two trials from across the pond -- one in Spain (CombiVacs) and one in England (Com-COV) -- as well as smaller cohort studies, "consistently show that you get a stronger antibody response when you give AstraZeneca followed by one of the mRNA vaccines," Moore said.
