UK Covid death toll

From the Metro the stupidity of not getting vaccinated…

Professor Sir Andrew Pollard's intervention comes with various medics working in hospital expressing similar concerns – with some saying their patience is ‘wearing thin’ with anti-vaxxers and the amount of resources the NHS is spending on people who have not been jabbed.

While more than 88% of people aged 12 and over have now had a first dose, that leaves millions unprotected – and potentially at risk of serious illness and death.

Earlier this month, an anaesthetist told the @MetroUK about working in intensive care amid the strain from Covid, which he said had left ‘the NHS is teetering on its edge’.

Dr Ed Patrick wrote in an opinion piece: ‘I looked around and realised that almost all of my patients were suffering from Covid-19 – and nearly every one of them was unvaccinated.’

He added: ‘I meet a lot of healthy people who think they’re bulletproof and can’t get taken down by this virus. Many are young – in their 20s, 30s and 40s – yet they’re struggling to breathe, even with lots of oxygen.’

Dr Ed added: ‘Seeing an unvaccinated patient is incredibly frustrating and sad. Frustrating because the vaccine probably would have prevented this, sad because I know what’s likely to be next for them.'

but body autonomy!
