Honest truth, this guy was actually in extremely good shape. I mean, other than the toll that daily horse paste diluted into your coffee takes on your body.
AMF California officer dies after missing vaccination deadline today SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A police officer who was placed on leave for missing the city of San Francisco’s deadline to be inoculated has died after being stricken by COVID-19, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Officer Jack Nyce, 46, tested positive on Nov. 2 and died Saturday at a hospital in Manteca, his wife, Melissa Nyce, told the newspaper Monday. The Chronicle said Melissa Nyce declined to say whether her husband was vaccinated but the vice president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, Lt. Tracy McCray, said Jack Nyce was on a 30-day stint of paid administrative leave because he had not received the vaccination required by the city. The death comes as mandates for government employee vaccinations are seeing some push-back. The San Francisco Police Department said last week that as many as 70 sworn and civilian workers had been placed on leave for not meeting a Nov. 1 vaccination deadline. A press release said that as of Nov. 2, 97.5% of department employees were fully vaccinated. Any officers who remain unvaccinated by Nov. 13 will be placed on unpaid administrative leave until the San Francisco Police Commission convenes a hearing. Jack Nyce was a 17-year employee of the department. “He loved being a cop,” his widow said.
I thought most people died of complications arising from Covid and not Covid similar to the early days of AIDS and HIV?
Right, but anti-vaxxers use that as a means of refusing to ever say someone died because they got COVID. They always say it like “I mean yea whatever they had COVID…BUT THEY DIED FROM PNEUMONIA!”
Similar to the AIDS epidemic, it should correctly be identified as Covid related pneumonia. The underlying condition that led to pneumonia killing them was Covid, just like AIDS used to.
Well no, he died because his heart stopped beating. Not one single "medical" expert has told us that covid makes your heart stop beating
He'll probably keep it, just isn't going to work that well. Bunch of skin grafts, big hospital bill and a glorified peg leg
Its 50/50. Usually can salvage after they've been fasciotomized but LEAP study originally showed you were better off with an amputation but then their longer term data showed limb salvage was cheaper after the costs of replacing the prosthetic so like you said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They (Epoch Times) send us a newspaper type thing in the mail occasionally, it’s not addressed to anyone, I guess they just send them to every address here? and I hate it. I wish I could block them or something.
also fuck this family Anti-vaxx Chronicles: #F*CKJOEBIDEN they say, as COVID tears through their entire family People with these have a much higher survival rate than those with "Medical freedom!" Facebook memes Facebook is a menace. COVID-19 is a menace. Conservatism is a cesspool. Together, those three ingredients have created a toxic stew of malevolent death and devastation. We can talk about all those things in the abstract, look at the numbers and statistics, and catch the occasional whiff of seditionist right-wing rhetoric. But I hadn’t really fully understood just how horrifying that combination of right-wing extremism, Facebook, and a killer virus was until I became a regular at the Herman Cain Awards subreddit. This series will document some of those stories, so we are aware of what the other side is doing to our country. Today’s cautionary tale features an entire family, taken down by COVID. Spoiler Wife is blue, husband is black, sister in law is green, and daughter is red. It’s always helpful to establish just how deplorable these idiots are. She’s nursing home staff, and she thinks she should be able to walk around infecting high-risk elderly patients willy nilly. That vaccine mandate for nursing home staff couldn’t have come soon enough. Husband stands for “medical freedom,” because he’s male and doesn’t need to worry about government getting all up in his uterus. He also calls the shots. So mom, dad, and daughter are all proud anti-vaxxers. Uh oh. Daughter is in utter misery because, it turns out, COVID kinda sucks. As the previous screenshot confirms, it was her choice and right to be infected by a killer virus. Mom’s got it now. It’s almost as if this virus is highly transmissible, hence the importance of gaining herd immunity via vaccination and continued precautions like masks and social distancing! There goes the husband’s sister, and apparently this isn’t the first time since daughter writes, “Why does this keep happening to my family?” This doesn’t keep happening to my family, or my friends. I wonder why? I do have a theory, though, and perhaps, maybe perhaps, it has something to do with this: When it’s more important to say “fuck Joe Biden” by remaining unvaccinated than it is to protect oneself from a deadly virus, then perhaps bad things could happen, time and time again. Husband’s got it too! He’s taking up a hospital bed and draining medical resources because he wanted his “medical freedom.” How much freedom does he have in that hospital room, gasping for air? Well, he’s now got the “medical freedom” to have a tube shoved down his throat. Not sure why that graphic is so smudgy and hard to read, but the whole point of “faith over fear” was the idea that they’d rather depend on their god to keep them safe from a virus than to walk around doing things “out of fear” like wearing masks, socially distancing, and vaccinating. In this case, it’s already too late. Their god didn’t keep them safe from the virus. One of the four infected is already dead while another is on a ventilator, and survival rates for those are atrocious. They should be afraid, because their faith didn’t protect them. Oh look, it’s a collection of bullshit anti-vaxx Facebook profile pic graphics. “Medical freedom” apparently means the freedom to beg other people for money, to bail you out of your own stupidity and recklessness. COVID isn’t hitting everyone’s homes. It’s hitting the homes of people who do shit like place “medical freedom” graphics on their Facebook pages. “Please protect ...” they pray, refusing to realize that there’s a freakin’ vaccine sitting there precisely for that reason. TO PROTECT! His lungs and kidneys are medically free to function. These people love to say “99.8% survive!” Here you have a family of four, all of them got sick, and two of them didn’t make it. Thousands of people are dying, and they think their faith, or their Facebook memes, or their boy king Trump will protect them from the consequences of their actions. My favorite analogy is this one: there are 45,000 commercial flights every single day. If survival rate was 99.8%, that means that 90 of them could crash on any given day.If those were the odds of flying, would you get on a plane? I sure as heck wouldn’t! That is their legacy. Was it really worth it?
He said the hospital basicallly filleted his leg, not sure exactly why but sounded like it was a purposefully done Medical procedure, which I’ve never heard of so maybe I read it wrong
was because of something called compartment swelling syndrome never heard of that and wondered what it was and why we've not heard of this before today
The caption says he developed compartment syndrome and the hospital cut him open to relieve the pressure.
Google compartment syndrome and treatment. They basically make your leg look like a spiral cut ham to relieve pressure
Its called compartment syndrome, can be common in certain types of traumas. Basically your legs are divided into compartments by fascia (3 compartments in thigh, 4 in the lower leg) and what happens is the swelling gets to be too high in the compartment and so then because of the pressure differential between the compartment and your diastolic blood pressure, blood no longer diffuses across capillaries, which leads to cell death and further necrosis (darkness) of tissues. You go in and do a decompressive fasciotomy (sometimes prophylactically) to relieve the swelling. Basically 2 cuts on the leg (some people do just one) and you just take a pair of scissors or a knife and run them along the fascia like you would wrapping paper. Then you leave them open until the swelling goes down, can apply something called a wound vac if you want and then once the swelling is down you just close them back up. Sometimes they need skin grafts. Can occur in arms, legs, abdomen, thorax, hands, feet
There is a major shipyard here that builds a ton of the Navy's ships . It's one of the biggest employers in the state. Since they are a government contractor , everyone there has to get vaccinated. Being in the midst of hardcore Trump country, they are all pissed. The shipyard is seriously worried that they'll have massive numbers refuse to get vaccinated and just quit. I think when it comes down to it , these welders, shipfitters , etc are going to get the jab. You've got a GED, a 2 year degree from a community college, and a welding certificate. You have a mortgage, wife, kids etc . Are you going to die on this anti vax hill or continue to make your $25-30 an hour, pay your mortgage, provide for your wife and kids? I'm guessing at least 80% decide to get vaccinated.
That was my first guess, but Gump so... Unless there is a strong leader of the dipshits I bet 90%+ get vaxed
Yah 80% might have been low. I think they'll talk a big game , make a big stink, then realize it ain't worth losing their good job over and get vaxxed.
One of the few medical conditions that I have a disproportionate fear of ever since I learned about it.
In a surprise to no one, my company is kicking the can down the road on the OSHA mandate citing the 5th circuit stay and the delayed implementation date. Pathetic.
I hope they get vaccinated. However, welders are in demand everywhere. High demand. So, unfortunately, they won’t be out of work for long should they leave.
