Longtime TV meteorologist fired for declining vaccine
Olafimihan Oshin
A longtime Michigan television meteorologist said he was fired for declining to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.
"Today, it is with a heavy heart, I announce after over 33 years, I am no longer employed at TV6," former WLUC-TV6 chief meteorologist Karl Bohnak wrote in a Facebook post.
Bohnak said that he declined to follow the mandatory vaccination requirements of his station's corporate owner, Gray Television.
"I have decided against the vaccine option, first and foremost, because the manufacturers of these injections have absolutely no liability if injury or death occurs after the shot," Bohnak said in last Wednesday's post. "I asked myself, would I buy brakes for my vehicle if the brake company had no liability if the brakes failed? No! So, I will certainly not allow a medicine in my body from a company that does not stand behind its product."
Bohnak also urged those who are still unvaccinated to not be silenced by mandatory COVID-19 policies.
"Those who love America and the freedom and liberty it stands for, must speak up. Hopefully, it's not too late."
Gray Television, an Atlanta-based broadcasting company that owns 150 network affiliates, announced a vaccine mandate for employees in August, The Washington Post noted.
President Biden announced earlier this month that all private employers with 100 or more employees would be required to mandate COVID-19 vaccine and testing, while requiring vaccines for federal workers and contractors as well.
According to the Post's COVID-19 tracker, 51 percent of Michigan citizens are fully vaccinated against the virus, trailing the national average of 54 percent.
Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) shared his support for Bohnak's decision to not get vaccinated.
"The U.P. stands with Karl Bohnak!," Bergman said in a Facebook post on Friday, referring to the state's Upper Peninsula.

2021-09-19 at 7:42 PM UTCAlmost 700,000 (SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND) Americans dead from Covid in a mere year and a half.
90% of todays cases are of the unvaccinated.
The present surge is as bad as last March's and putting a severe strain on our medical community, our medical institutions and our mental health as well as our economy.
99% of cases now verified as the delta variant.
Unvaccinated people will create the next even more virulent and deadlier strain.

States Overwhelmed by COVID 'Ration' Healthcare, Cancer Patients Hit Worst
Khaleda Rahman
In a worrying sign of the escalating spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus in regions with lower vaccine uptake, several states have started rationing health care.
Earlier this week, Idaho—where only around 40 percent of residents are fully vaccinated—announced it was expanding health care rationing across the state after a spike in COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization exhausted resources.
Some hospital systems in Alaska and Montana have also enacted similar "crisis standards of care."
Other states could follow suit as they reach capacity. Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Texas and Arkansas all have at last 90 percent of their intensive care unit beds occupied, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services.
Some measures have already been taken during the pandemic to ease the burden on hospitals under strain, such as the postponement of elective surgeries.
But crisis standards of care mean resources that are limited, such as ICU beds and ventilators, are given to patients that have higher chances of survival.
According to the Associated Press, they generally use scoring systems to determine which patients are given the resources, and which are only treated with pain medication or other palliative care.
In both Idaho and Montana, a combination of factors are used to determine a patient's "priority score" and a lower score means they are more likely to survive and pushes them higher on the list for resources.
Both states score people based on saving the highest number of their "life-years," so those with cancer or other diseases that affect their life expectancy receive higher scores, according to the AP.
Idaho officials said crisis standards of care had been activated due to COVID-19 hospitalizations, largely made up of unvaccinated individuals, climbing to record levels and exhausting the supply of staff, available beds and necessary resources needed.
"Our hospitals and healthcare systems need our help," Dave Jeppesen, the director of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, said in a statement on Thursday.
"The best way to end crisis standards of care is for more people to get vaccinated. It dramatically reduces your chances of having to go to the hospital if you do get sick from COVID-19. In addition, please wear a mask indoors in public and outdoors when it's crowded to help slow the spread.
"The situation is dire—we don't have enough resources to adequately treat the patients in our hospitals, whether you are there for COVID-19 or a heart attack or because of a car accident." -
2021-09-20 at 4:41 AM UTCUS coronavirus: More people died in Alabama during 2020 than were born as Covid-19 deaths continue rising in the US
By Aya Elamroussi, CNN
Alabama had more people die last year during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic than births, a top health official said, as the US continues to grapple with rising coronavirus cases and deaths.
"This past year, 2020, is going to be the first year that we know of in the history of our state where we actually had more deaths than births," Alabama Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris said Friday during a news briefing.
"Our state literally shrunk," he said.
Preliminary data shows that 64,714 people died in Alabama in 2020 while there were 57,641 births, Harris said. In 2019, the state recorded 54,109 deaths and 58,615 births, according to the health department.
According to state data, 7,182 people in Alabama died due to Covid-19 in 2020 and total Covid-19 deaths reached 13,209 as of Saturday.
Even though more than half of the country is fully vaccinated, Covid-19 cases, deaths and hospitalizations have been rising over the past few months -- and it's not impacting everywhere equally.
In Alabama, where 41% of people are fully vaccinated, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), officials said more hospital beds have recently become available, though it's not because people are recovering from the virus.
"It is not because these patients are miraculously getting better and going home. It's because they're dying," Dr. Kierstin Kennedy, the chief of hospital medicine at the University of Alabama Medicine.
Of Alabama's 67 counties, 65 have a "high" level of coronavirus transmission, and two are at the "substantial" tier, state data shows.
Kennedy noted that most of the vaccinated patients she has seen get extremely sick or die are older or have significant co-morbidities that negatively affect their immune systems.
"This is not a surge of the young vaccinated that are six months out from their shots. This is a surge of the unvaccinated," Kennedy said.
It's a similar story in Mississippi, which now has the highest amount of deaths per capita from Covid-19, surpassing New Jersey, which had long held the worst rate due to its massive outbreak early in the pandemic. Mississippi has one of the lowest rates of vaccination in the country with 42% of all residents fully vaccinated, trailing the national average of around 54%, according to CDC data.
In Kentucky, nearly 85% Covid-19 deaths have been in partially or unvaccinated people, Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday. The partially vaccinated or unvaccinated also accounted for more than 87% of Covid-19 cases and about 92% of hospitalizations, he added.
The governor urged people to get vaccinated to protect themselves and others as well as to help the state's economy recover.
"I hope that you ... hear very clearly that the number one thing that we can do to get through this is to get vaccinated. By percentage, 90+ percent of folks that end up hospitalized are unvaccinated. So how do we not overrun our hospitals? We get vaccinated."
Covid-19 cases among pregnant people rise
One of the groups health experts are urging to get vaccinated is pregnant people, among whom Covid-19 deaths appear to have recently spiked.
In Mississippi, at least eight pregnant people who were not fully vaccinated have died of Covid-19 since late July, according to Dr. Thomas Dobbs, the state's medical officer. One person was partially vaccinated, and seven were not vaccinated at all.
In total, 15 pregnant people have died from Covid-19 in Mississippi, and officials are analyzing information on 72 stillbirths that have affected Covid-infected pregnant people in the state, Dobbs said. That appears to be twice the usual stillbirth rate.
"Please get vaccinated," Dobbs said at one of two news conferences this month that addressed the topic. "You've got to protect yourself; you've got to protect your baby."
In Alabama, at least seven pregnant people have died from Covid-19 since the onset of the pandemic, according to Harris, the state health officer. The state also averaged 23 pregnant people hospitalized with the virus over the past week, he said Friday.
"Your OB/GYN is entirely focused on your health and your baby's health. And all that matters to them is a good outcome for you and for the baby," Kennedy said. "So if the OB/GYN is saying that you need to get (the vaccine), you gotta listen to that."
The CDC reported that Covid-19 deaths in pregnant people in the US appear to have ticked up in August and recommends that pregnant people get the Covid-19 vaccine.
About 25.1% of pregnant people age 18 to 49 in the US had received at least one dose of a vaccine during pregnancy as of September 11, according to the CDC's latest published data.
People are leaving their jobs due to vaccine mandates
The US had vaccinated 54.5% of its total population as of Saturday, CDC data shows. And as some institutions, including health care facilities, roll out vaccine requirements, there has been some push back.
At least 125 part-time employees from the Indiana University Health system have lost their jobs for not complying with vaccination requirements, spokesperson Berkley Rios told CNN Friday.
"Indiana University Health has put the safety and well-being of patients and team members first by requiring employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by September 1," Rios said. "After a two-week unpaid suspension period ending September 14, a total of 125 employees, the equivalent of 61 full-time employees, chose not to receive the Covid-19 vaccine and have left the organization."
Rios added that the impact on staffing will be minimal as the health care system was already working to fill those positions.
Meanwhile in South Carolina, the state has reached a milestone of vaccinating 50% of eligible residents.
"Reaching this 50 percent benchmark is a testament to the countless hours (the Department of Health and Environmental Control) and partner staff have put into putting these life-saving doses into arms," DHEC Director Dr. Edward Simmer said.
Gov. Henry McMaster added that choosing to receive the vaccine is personal.
"Two things are clear -- the most effective way to protect ourselves from COVID-19 is to get vaccinated, and the vaccine is readily available in every part of the state. If you decide to get vaccinated after thoughtful consideration of all the facts, now is the time to do it," McMaster said. -

Jummai and her husband Philip came to America as church planters as part of the Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention (MWBC) in the Twin Cities.
https://pmnewsnigeria.com/2021/07/26/nigerian-jummai-naches-legs-amputated-in-u-s-after-pfizer-covid-19-jab/
Jummai, who works as a medical assistant in Minneapolis, received the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on February 1.
A few days later on February 6, her husband, Philip, took her to urgent care after she felt chest pains.
A day later, she tested positive for COVID-19, and her condition quickly deteriorated, leading to hospitalisation and eventual amputation.
Philip is now searching for answers to the true cause of his wife’s condition, said the report.
‘Jummai and I were shocked when we received the result that she was Covid-19 positive because she had not manifested any symptom before taking the shot,’ Philip wrote in a letter attached to a GoFundMe for the couple.
‘But we later accepted that perhaps, the virus and the vaccine together contributed to the adverse reaction on her body based on the report of the Infectious Disease physician that Jummai was asymptomatic.’
In the letter, Philip goes into detail about the conditions his wife suffered, and the months of work with medical experts he undertook to figure out what exactly happened.
He said that his wife suffered from an arterial blood clot, respiratory disease, cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease), anemia, ischemia and multiple inflammatory syndrome (MIS) – a condition where multiple organs in the body become inflamed.
She was placed on a ventilator on February 14.
Jummai’s case was referred to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate.
After a virtual call that included 70 to 80 health experts from around the country, the CDC determined that COVID-19 and MIS combined were the cause of her complications, according to the GoFundMe page.

Meanwhile the Pfizer shot, which did all this damage, is turning out to be less than 50% effective. They initially claimed it was 90%+ effective. Pfizer lied and people died.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
