For several weeks, up in Hamburg, Germany....the regional government had continually reported that the bulk of infected folks (from Covid).....were non-vax people.
Well....this week, if you viewed NDR (regional public TV)....there's some discussion going on, and accusations of fake information.
So, some reporters from from "Welt" and "Süddeutscher Zeitung" got active....dug through the data, and came to this conclusion....the authorities really don't have any factual data to say folks are vax'ed-up or non-vax, who end up in a ICU unit.
What's going on? Health authorities are mandated to come to a factual point on each case of Covid. It doesn't appear that they've gone to the point of getting such data. Hospitals just as much in the problem? Yeah....at least a third of the incoming Covid folks weren't drilled for the data.
Now, you can imagine yourself....bad off and laying in your apartment, with your wife or friend worried....so they call the ambulance and a crew arrives in hazmat suits to carry you to the hospital. Your shot-record, vax-card, or cellphone? Probably the last thing that you'd think about as they dragged you to the ambulance.
This brings you to the obvious issue.....all this fact-stuff handed out....to show the 'bad-boy' non-vax people as a problem? You can't assume the story is true. The fact that public TV journalists just repeated the story and never challenged this? This is a funny element of the story.....in the end, it's the print-media journalists that just woke up and said.....you know....the story 'smells' bogus.
What happens now? I think everyone will quietly stop jerking around on the vax-versus-non-vax element. Maybe in a couple of months, this will be resolved, but it's going to take a while to gain trust back.
