So, where did you get your medical degree? And how can you say you had "no chance" of dying from Covid? I'm embarrassed to read this crap coming from a fellow Coug.
As a 60 year old, otherwise healthy guy with a heart condition, I am damn glad I had 3 jabs before finally getting a mild case of Covid recently. Gonna get another jab pretty soon.
BTW, Mr. "that is a fact", Washington State still ranks right near the top (in a good way) with regard to per capita infections and deaths from Covid. I'm not a big Inslee fan at all, but his actions saved lives. THAT is a fact - Google it.
Also, Mr. "that is a fact", many hospitals nationwide are still crammed with Covid patients, overwhelmingly anti-vaxxers. As other patients with serious medical needs are turned away because of the lack of capacity.
About 1 million USA people died from covid.
About 600k died of COVID during first 9 months of 2019/2020, back when people, country first learning what COVID was, etc, and was still learning how to stop, etc.
That means that about 500k have died in the 2 and 1/2 years after the first 9 months.
During that time there was about 50 mill to 75 mill to 100 million cases a year of COVID, for about 150 million to 300 million cases.
Of those, about 5 million hospitalizations, and out of those hospitalizations and no hospitalized cases, about 500k died.
And that means that out of 150 to 300 mill cases that about a 2% chance of being HOSPITALIZED.
And that out of 150 to 300 million cases that about .13 OF 1% MORTALITY RATE OF the 150 to 300 million cases(about same mortality rate of FLU), has died.
And out of 5 mill hospitalized, 500k died for a 10% mortality rate.
All of this means that altho COVID was, is EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS, MILLIONS of cases, that the hospitalization rate, mortality rate is ULTIMATELY EXTREMELY LOW.
Even older people weren't at Ultimately extremely high risk.
Example, ms Luanne Cranfield. about 70+ years old, uses a walker. She didn't take Vaccine. Got COVID. Easily survived just fine.
Ed would say, it's not about mortality rate, that it was about reducing risk to elderly and freeing up hospital beds.
Altho higher risk for elderly, the mortality rate for elderly isn't that high or a lot higher.
And as for clogged up hospitals, a year ago, when I had my stroke, when I went to Davenport WA hospital AND then was ambulanced to Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane WA, Davenport WA hospital was deserted, had whole hospital to self, and their was about 2,3,4,5 rooms, and 2,3,4,5 ICU units available at Sacred Heart Hospital.
So NO Hospitals weren't being overwhelmed, if they were, Sacred Heart wouldn't have had some open rooms and ICU units, and the Hospitals in Spokane, would have had a lot of overflow, and would have sent all that supposed overflow to Davenport WA Hospital, and Davenport Hospital would have been FULL not empty like how it was empty.
And then there is how the CDC has just come out and OPENLY ADMITTED that they were WRONG, ran things wrong, that their numbers, and interpretation of numbers were wrong, and that things like Vaccines and Mask mandates, and lockdowns, etc, WERE LESS EFFECTIVE, NOT EFFECTIVE, DIDNT WORK, ETC, that THEY LIED, etc, and that they won't make the same mistakes again, that they will change the culture, have a higher standard of accountability, etc.
All this shows that
1. The mortality and hospitalization rates were ULTIMATELY EXTREMELY LOW.
2. That hospitals weren't overflowing, as the overflow tents, etc, weren't being used, an or have been torn down, etc.
3. That the Elderly altho at higher risk, isn't as high a risk, etc.
4. That CDC was WRONG, LIED, ETC.
5. That there was MISINFORMATION, lies thru official channels, etc.
6. That Vaccine Shots, Mask, lockdowns, etc, were not as needed, not as effective, etc.
ROLO was right in not wanting to Vax up, and had the right to not Vax up, and he exercised that right, etc.
Where ROLO went wrong, is that HALF the people WRONGLY thought Vaccination should be done.
By ROLO OPENLY SAYING he was not going to get Vaccinated, that view was going to be EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR with HALF the people.
A Head Coach is like a Politician, Salesman, etc. A Head Coach is a public face of the college. Last thing a Head Coach wants to do is VOLUNTARILY open their mouth and say they are either for or against vaccination, as that's a very hot button, divisive, etc, issue that can cause half the fans, people to not like you, etc.
This is Why even MIKE LEACH even kept his mouth shut on the issue, when asked, with a NO COMMENT type of comment by saying that's between a person and their doctor.
If ROLO had done the same, there probably wouldn't have been a problem.
Last thing a Head Coach wants to or Should do is to VOLUNTARILY open big fat mouth, and take a position on a hot button issue CONTRARY to WSU, Chun, Schultz, Inslee, half the fans, half the potential recruits, etc.
But ROLO IDIOTICALLY did that.
If ROLO had kept his mouth shut, refused to get the vaccine, had done a better job of trying to get a exemption, he probably would have gotten his exemption, kept his job, been just fine.
The other thing is that even if he was wronged, you don't sue WSU because WSU's, Chun's, etc, hands were tied, had to do what Inslee said.
Inslee, and the Government , etc, is who ROLO Should sue, NOT WSU, NOT CHUN, etc.
Sorry for the length, but the length was necessary to cover, explain the FACTS, TRUTH of what was covered.
