I've heard that a few times. I wonder what the stats on the effectiveness of that are (the military tends to be great for record keeping)



I doubt they are able to accurately measure mental state of wounded soldiers in the middle of fight. And keep track of those records.


I'm mostly talking out my ass on this one, but thought I would share...

My brother is a doctor (CMO of the largest health system in a state, he was previously head of the Veterans administration for said state, Commander of the 10th medical wing in the USAF (he's a ret. Colonel - gave up the General track) , personal flight surgeon to the joint chiefs at the dod... etc...)

I asked him recently about covid related use of the ICU rooms at his facility...

and I was stunned that he answered that "we don't keep records of that"

I had been asking about who was vaxxed and not - and he said that he had several people who were vaxxed and got covid and also died, the youngest being 30, who was vaxxed but also one of his employees at the hospital.

The point though is just how much I was surprised at the statement that they aren't keeping records....

He was a field surgeon in Iraq, but I haven't talked to him about that experience much...

What your brother means is that he hasn't encountered a medical or financial reason to request those reports run yet. The data is 100% being collected.


obv... I cant give up too many more details than this, but still -- I can see through it... lots of reasons I can't say... (I fucking got cease-and-desisted in the past based on comments here...)


> cease-and-desisted

by your brother?


I revealed how many cities in the US mandate and monitor every actions of your vehicle around certain buildings and require said buildings/companies to report the traffic around them... but I was more specific because I know which buildings and which cameras... because I designed some of them.....

So yeah.


I find that odd. Here they do track covid ICU nationally and covid even have them separated (they don't mix covid patients with car crashes). The lockdown was because capacities were getting full.

And they also know who is vaccinated, so the general claim doctors were saying was that vaccinated seldom end up in ICU and very rarely die. Most in serious condition are unvaccinated.

Causes of death tend to be tracked on national level too. It might be that hospital does not care, but death certificates for all kinda of stuff should be written somewhere.
