re the flu scamdemic, the "hospital bed" numbers are bogus. in corporate hospital lingo, a "bed" is not an actual piece of furniture you lie down in. it's a metric based on the staff-to-patient ratio. understaffed hospitals have fewer "beds,:" since they have lost so many doctors and nurses because of the injection mandates.

peggy hall, who is in orange county, checked on children's hospital there and found that there were a total of 11 (eleven) children in the icu there, and not all because of rsv or respiratory illness. hardly a pandemic.

THANK YOU! I found this out in 2020 with all the fake “hospital beds are full” BS. When we figure out how they manipulate us EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it’s infuriating. Every single thing they tell us is deceptive and manipulating us. Everything! It’s exhausting.

Yes - hospitals are almost always at capacity, or else they're going out of business.

BINGO!!!! Wish more people

would see this. They send staff home when they don’t have enough patients because of the “business”

Forces us to play whack-a-mole. Yes, it's exhausting, but I'm getting better at it as time goes on. Plus, the audience is a bit more receptive than at the start.

I heard from a nurse that one of the hospitals in Illinois removed the beds and redesigned the room and turned it into a meditation/ de-stressing area, then they claim they are running out of capacity. I mean... it's important to de-stress in a high-stress job but I thought they already had those types of areas. I heard from another nurse that she had 18 patients at one point, a completely unsafe ratio but a way for a hospital to make money paying fewer people. These hospitals are just about the money, they don't care about either patients or their employees. So they fire staff or some people quit either due to mandates or unsafe staff-to-patient ratio and then they claim they are overwhelmed. Something needs to be done about it. Patients will suffer as a result.

Peggy also noted that a certain company named Pfizer is ready to deliver an RSV vaccine once it receives EUA approval. Hmm, haven't we seen this before?

Yep. The ‘bed count’ stories make it sound like actual physical beds which are empty or full. Actually it’s based on staff availability...which is worse now, of course, as unjabbed staff got fired or forced to quit. By the way, in the fall/winter, during ‘flu season’, extra beds are temporarily added in the hospital hallways EVERY SINGLE YEAR, but this wasn’t a news story until Covid. The hospitals are NOT overwhelmed. This RSV etc. story from the media sounds familiar, no? Pay no attention.

Rsv is also pretty cyclical, big outbreaks about every 3 to 4 years.

And back when there were all the 'ERs overflowing from COVID' stories in 2020, I looked up 'ERs overflowing from flu' stories from the past, and I found it's an annual story, varying a bit by geography, but "journalists" use it as a standby.

THIS. Jeff please write more about this or point to something that we can share. Hospital beds aren’t actually beds you can lie down in. It’s a ratio of staff to patients?!?! That’s why I was a bit confused about being over 100 percent.

Hmmm payback for the OC lawsuit!!? You know OC Board of Ed was the county going AGAINST Newsom’s mandates ! *gasp* they were going in the direction of Florida !! Lol 😉 So, definitely a hit piece on OC ….or maybe I’m just seeing a conspiracy in every news article 🤷‍♀️
