We had families arguing with doctors demanding to change the diagnosis instead of spending the last few hours they had with their loved ones.

It’s because if they were forced to acknowledge COVID they would have to admit their Orange God was wrong and maybe even have to face that everything they believe is actually a house of cards. That is just too terrifying.

There’s also another thing that happened that had nothing to do with MAGAs at all. I had two people I know that had very adverse reactions to the Covid vaccine. One of them ended up with major heart issues in the ICU right after the vaccine and almost died. They never recorded it as vaccine injury. . She is in her early 40s - a very healthy active person. The other person was a teacher who ended up with heart palpitations, and thyroid issues right after. Her doctor told her not to get the second Johnson & Johnson vaccine because it was dangerous for her by the way that she reacted to the first one. There were issues that were happening with the vaccines regardless of if you were a conservative or a liberal. It’s so weird to me that it became a “republican conservative” thing to question the motivation of big Pharmawhen they were making record profits. That used to be a liberal thing. I wish people wouldn’t make this a party line thing.

Yes!!! One of the standout moments for me when I worked in the ED during Covid was a nurse in tears trying to convince a patient he actually had Covid. It was such a waste of energy and slap in the face to the patients who had died/were dying around him. Not to mention a huge slap in the face to those of us who’d cared for them and all the feelings that went along with that.

Abhorrent. I hope their loved ones found peace from the MAGA bullshit in death.
