Will the people spouting the 99.9% survival rate realize when more than 0.1% have actually died from COVID?
That’s when they break out the argument that hospitals are miscoding cases for greater reimbursement.

'I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but...' US health workers' vaccine hesitancy raises alarm: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-covid-19-vaccine-hesitancy-us-health-workers
The rates of refusal – up to 40% of frontline workers in Los Angeles county, 60% of care home workers in Ohio – have prompted concern and in some cases, shaming. But the ultimate failure could be dismissing these numbers at a critical moment in the US vaccination campaign.
Dr Whitney Robinson, an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina, told the Guardian if these early figures coming from healthcare workers are not addressed: “It could mean after all this work, after all this sacrifice, we could still be seeing outbreaks for years, not just 2021, maybe 2022, maybe 2023.”
Vaccine hesitancy is common – 29% of healthcare workers said they were vaccine-hesitant, according to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation published last month. And it’s not exclusive to the US – up to 40% of care workers in the UK might refuse to have the vaccine, the National Care Association said in mid-December.
In our health system vaccines are by appointment only. That helps with the waste, because the vaccine hesitant are not making appointments. Not sure how other hospitals are doing it
saw in my local paper this weekend that local nursing homes and the like are reporting that only 50-75% of staffers are accepting vaccination
I really think it's messaging. They need people who were in the trials or have received the vaccine on TV saying, "look, I'm fucking normal."
