Today, 6,164 hospitals reported inpatient data to HHS. Yesterday, a total of 6,172 hospitals reported inpatient data. There was a difference in only eight (8) total hospitals.
Something else to know about HHS reporting: if HHS does not receive a report from a facility, they use the most recent data reported within the past four days. So if a facility has 10 patients and doesn't report the next day, HHS doesn't count that as 0, they count it as 10.
So what the 'doctor' is saying is blatantly wrong anyhow. Even if a facility didn't report, it would default to the most recent report rather than zero. So you're not going to see a drop unless they actually report a lower number.

Great news in FL: today, cases on a 7d average decreased for the second consecutive day and third day in the last four. The 7d case average fell from 64,033 to 61,500.
The smoothed 7d case growth is down to just 1% in Florida with new hospital admissions just barely over 2%.
Meanwhile, California reported 167,819 cases. The 7d average there is up to 117,991.
Look at the Twitter curators trying to spin this. "More than 270 medical experts" call out Spotify. It's not more than 270. It's 270. The "more than" is being added because it's a ridiculously insignificant number lol
The list of "experts" cited in the open letter is legit hilarious. Among the so called experts include medical residents, nurses, podcast hosts, veterinarians, dentists, physician assistants, professors, a couple of masters "candidates", and a lab supervisor. Funny reading.
Just a note: some usual suspects will read this tweet and accuse me of being antivax. Quite the contrary...Pfizer's CEO was willing to say his own product isn't working against severe illness to boost (pun intended) profits from boosters. I find these lies to be disgusting.
I'm not against boosters if people want to get them, but I find them to be based on a false premise (and in this case, an outright lie). They're based on declining protection against infection. There has never been a need demonstrated to boost protection against severe illness.
Yesterday, @GavinNewsom made the claim California has 50% less COVID-19 mortality than Florida. That is false. Their rate (193 per 100,00) is 34% lower than FL (292). 292-193 = 99 / 292 = 34%
What's more, is the age-adjusted rate as of yesterday is 221 to 231 (4% lower).
California reported 308,820 cases today for 3 days of data, bringing the 7-day average to 101,129.
The 7d average for NY is 72,900.
The 7d ave for FL actually DROPPED today from 64,507 to 63,965. This is the first drop in 7d average for Florida in 35 days.
I posted this about growth rate in Florida down to 3.4% just a few days ago. Doesn't mean we have peaked yet, this could be a one day aberration, but...
7d new hospital admissions in Florida grew by only eight (8) people today, suggesting that indeed the peak is very near. Perhaps a mere couple of days.
The clip that went viral today by @CDCDirector was specifically referring to a new MMWR report showing 78% of vaccinated deaths with COVID-19 had at least four risk factors. Walensky referred to them by their analogous term "comorbidities."
This study from Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report, calls them by risk factors. But all risk factors are also labeled as comorbidities when they are believed to have contributed to death.
Comorbidities can mean existing conditions and specific causes
So a comorbidity can be an existing risk factor (like heart disease) or a condition brought on by disease (like pneumonia). When Walensky says 4+ comorbidities, she was referring to a combination of the two.
But this is not unique to vaccinated individuals.
