    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted The Hill

    This reminds me of the attitude of some cancer patients I’ve studied who choose quackery. #COVIDIOTS seem to think that if they die of #COVID19 they’ll just peacefully close their eyes and die, rather than first suffer for weeks prone on a ventilator with no family visiting.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1304462473718902784 …

        The difference, of course, is that, unlike #COVID19 patients, cancer patients aren’t contagious and don’t endanger the health and lives of those around them or the medical staff who treat them.

        First opponents fo smallpox vaccines were of the view that if God wanted someone to die of smallpox, it’s a sin to stop it. Most theologians are of the view that God expects us to take reasonable precautions to save our lives.

        Until the 1930s, there was a debate WITHIN the medical community over the use of anesthesia for women in labor. Not for a medical reason, but because the bible said that God punished Eve with great pain during childbirth. So, pardon me for not caring what theologians say.

        We need to get some people willing to sign a release to let themselves be filmed so people can see how horrific this is. The filming can be done remotely & doesn’t need to include footage of their final moments. Not sure it would help but testimony alone doesn’t seem to be enough

        Wild that some of these older husky guys say that the COVID victims had comorbidities. Virtually 100% likelihood that they have several comorbidities. Roughly three quarters of adults in US have one or more comorbidities, and that only goes up with age. 🤦‍♂️

        But unlike cancer patients, that can be spreaders up to that point.

        What these idiots don’t get is that they could pass the virus to someone else.

        Perhaps, or perhaps they do understand that, and simply don't give a shit about anyone else. The single unifying thread running through the Trump cult is unbridled selfishness.
