Shouldn't be a issue for the ones that make more money than most tuners and who is immune to any virus in the world...

Nice nice...

That's his opinion though, you can't implement that in health system we have here

Who knows what those nurses are going to do?

I think they said in 1 of the conferences that they wouldn't triage based on vax staus. But they could do it based on other things like how likely a patient is to survive. Of course if they feel that a vaccinated patient is more likely to survive then coincidentally the unvaccinated patient may not get treatment.

Thousands of women have reported changes to their regular patterns after receiving a COVID-19 jab.

After her first Pfizer vaccine five months ago, Dahye Yim, 30, noticed something different with her menstrual cycle.

Unusually heavier and with more physical symptoms such as a migraine, she went online to see if other women had experienced post-vaccine cyclical changes.

She uncovered similar stories but failed to find scientifically-backed information on possible short-term vaccine side effects.

This is what has been happening in other countries.

Crisis standards of care: Guidance from the AMA Code of Medical Ethics

Triage decisions must be based on criteria related to medical need, not on non-medical criteria such as patients’ social worth.

When criteria of medical need distinguish among patients, allocate limited resources first based on likelihood of benefit or to avoid premature death, and then to promote the greatest duration of benefit after recovery.

When criteria of medical need do not substantially distinguish among patients, allocate limited resources by an objective and transparent mechanism, such as random choice or lottery to minimize potential bias, as opposed to “first come, first served,” which may unfairly privilege patients who have the means to seek care promptly.

Periodically reassess ongoing life-sustaining treatments for all patients. When continued treatment is substantially unlikely to achieve the intended goal of care it may be withdrawn.

Explain the policies and procedures by which triage decisions that allocate life-sustaining treatments are made and provide a process for appealing decisions when such treatments will be withheld or withdrawn.

Palliative care must be provided when life-sustaining treatments are withheld or withdrawn.

we know the virus can affect men (and that's besides the fact that more men die than women)

How COVID-19-related stress could be affecting your menstrual cycle
A new study suggests that more than half of women may have experienced irregularities in their periods after the COVID-19 pandemic began.

1 October 2021 – by Linda Geddes

Previous research has found that menstrual cycle irregularities are often reported by people who are experiencing mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, or those living through extremely stressful events, such as natural disasters, famine or forced displacement from their homes. But what about the psychological distress triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic?

A new study published in The Journal of Women’s Health suggests that women who experienced high levels of stress during the early months of the pandemic were more likely to experience heavier menstrual bleeding and a longer duration of their period, compared to those with moderate stress levels.

So this is normal to you?

[redmanjp]

where did he say its normal? its why women have been having menstrual issues, MOH spoke on this today self (if u would tune in and get proper info) its due to pandemic related stress, not vaccines- many of those women were having the issue BEFORE the vaccine.

Redman,

So you are in no way worried or concerned with negative effects from the vaccine down the road?

based on the history of other vaccines we have all gotten, no.
by now 100s of millions around the world have had about 10 months past after having gotten it- (pfizer, which is now FULLY approved by the FDA started going into arms since last year December) nothing has happened to them.

and perhaps a BILLION people have gotten it at least 6 months ago. a year ago we could have been a bit concerned but time has passed we see that nothing has happened to them.

what we DO know is there is a 1 in 3 risk of long term effects from the virus.

Trinidad is one of the leading countries in COVID deaths per capital. Countries that were on fire with COVID earlier now have lower rates of COVID deaths -- and higher rates of vaccination along with nearly all COVID infections being the delta variant.

and 98% survival they keep repeating

Try asking for prayers after refusing jab

https://guardian.co.tt/news/we-want-as- ... 5411bcef61

Steups hope they dont occupy and ICU unit that could have been used for a vaccinated person.

'Asked if they received their jabs, she replied “well…that is personal.”'
means they didn't take it?

Aaron,

Once you reach hospital and you are unvaxxed you must be thrown in the streets and you are no longer entitled to free healthcare which you pay for. Men on here saying dotish talk about only vaccinated must have access to beds, lemme flip it , vaccinated persons should be left in the road to dead as their precious vaccines didn't work, unvaccinated ppl need all the assistance as they have no protection

k

I done tell u is only WOMAN does say K. MAN Don't act so

“It is important to note that like the admissions in the Accident and Emergency, the vast majority of persons in our ICU are not fully vaccinated. This morning, 46 out of 48 persons or 96 per cent have not been fully vaccinated.”

She stated that the other trend they have noticed with respect to the patients presenting, is that they are not fully vaccinated.

“We continue to see high levels of persons who are not fully vaccinated, being admitted and contacting the GMRTT service. In fact, those that have been fully vaccinated tend to either be discharged home after they have been observed or is at ward level care.

Nobody talking about H I ebthey chsnge the definition of vaccine from "generating immunity" to "stimulating an immune response"?

Just to accommodate that the covid vaccine is leaky af.
Vscines in the past offered immunity that u wouldn't get the viruses. But these covid only biustjng u enough to not die... U still catching and spreading like normsl.

[Gem_in_i]

Highest number of cases since June 9th

[Dohplaydat]

Things not looking good, 47 deaths in 4 days and 393 cases.

The spike has began. Get vaccinated.

It wasn't changed. You are just now learning what "immunity" means.

-------

Immunity refers to the body’s ability to prevent the invasion of pathogens. Pathogens are foreign disease-causing substances, such as bacteria and viruses, and people are exposed to them every day. Antigens are attached to the surface of pathogens and stimulate an immune response in the body. An immune response is the body’s defense system to fight against antigens and protect the body.

There are several types of immunity, including innate immunity, passive immunity, and acquired/active immunity. Image 1.1 is a visual showing active immunity as a process of exposing the body to an antigen to produce an adaptive immune response, while passive immunity “borrows” antibodies from another person.

Innate immunity is general protection that a person is born with, including physical barriers (skin, body hair), defense mechanisms (saliva, gastric acid), and general immune responses (inflammation). This type of immunity is considered non-specific (Khan Academy, n.d). Although the immune system does not know exactly what kind of antigen is invading the body, it can respond quickly to defend against any pathogen.

Passive immunity is the body’s capacity to resist pathogens by “borrowing” antibodies. For example, antibodies can be transferred to a baby from a mother’s breast milk, or through blood products containing antibodies such as immunoglobulin that can be transfused from one person to another. The most common form of passive immunity is that which an infant receives from its mother. Antibodies are transported across the placenta during the last one to two months of pregnancy. As a result, a full-term infant will have the same antibodies as its mother. These antibodies will protect the infant from certain diseases for up to a year, and act to defend against specific antigens. Although beneficial, passive immunity is temporary until the antibodies are gone (wane), since the body has not produced the antibodies.

Acquired (adaptive) immunity is a type of immunity that develops from immunological memory. The body is exposed to a specific antigen (which is attached to a pathogen) and develops antibodies to that specific antigen (Khan Academy, n.d.). The next time said antigen invades, the body has a memory of the specific antigen and already has antibodies to fight it off. Acquired immunity can occur from exposure to an infection, wherein a person gets a disease and develops immunity as a result. Acquired immunity also occurs from vaccination wherein the vaccine mimics a particular disease, causing an immune response in the vaccinated individual without getting them ill.
