A former nurse who was reportedly fired after his religious exemption to the COVID-19 vaccine requirement was rejected has shed some rather harsh light on hysterical claims that ICU beds are at capacity because of all the sick unvaccinated people.
Speaking with LifeSiteNews, Brad McDowell, who was employed as an emergency room nurse at Valley Health Systems in Winchester, Virginia, explained that the “at capacity” status has less to do with unvaccinated patients and more to do with unvaccinated staffers that are being let go for their resistance to hospital, state and federal mandates.
“They can’t open a bed that they don’t have a nurse and a tech to staff,” he explained in a video interview that was published over the weekend, after being asked by interviewer Jim Hale if the health care worker shortage supposedly caused by the pandemic is, in reality, a result of strict vaccine mandates that many health care professionals have refused to adhere to.
“I can tell you that all those beds [at Valley Health] are not open, and I know that for a fact,” McDowell charged, referring to his former place of employment.
“There are beds closed, and they’re saying they’re … at capacity, but it’s not because there’s not enough beds,” he explained.
“It’s not because of the patient load. It’s because of the workforce load,” he said.
In other words, the unvaccinated patients aren’t overwhelming the hospital; the hospital has let go so many workers who refused to comply with the vaccine mandate that it’s now short-staffed as a result.
This is all rather remarkable when you consider that it’s health care workers who not only have been the most intimately familiar with COVID-19 throughout the whole of the pandemic, but they’re the ones you’d think would be most likely to be clamoring for a vaccine.
First of all, as is the case with frontline workers like firefighters, EMTs, and police officers, most nurses and doctors have been exposed to the coronavirus. Many have contracted and survived it themselves.
Although it’s highly inconvenient to those manufacturing and mandating the vaccine, the fact remains that there is ample evidence to suggest that natural immunity can protect against the virus at least as well as the vaccine itself.
“If you think about it, you have the political elite, the media elite, the people at the highest levels of the CDC, the pharmaceutical industry, they are running, they run the whole narrative,” McDowell explained.
“They’re the ones pushing it, they’re the ones who benefit the most from everyone taking a vaccine,” he stated.
Meanwhile, it’s hospital patients and hard-working frontline workers who are suffering due to these mandates.
A year ago, nurses and doctors were the celebrated heroes of the pandemic — now they’re being left in the dust for refusing to get a vaccine that they, with all their professional knowledge and experience with the virus, do not feel they should be required to get.
At the start of the pandemic, they were seen as the anointed saviors of all mankind. Their plight was often touted to convince the rest of us to shut up, get in line, and disregard any and all concern for our civil liberties and unprecedented violations thereof.
And suddenly, now that so many of them have their doubts about this vaccine and are willing and ready to work with COVID-19 patients without getting the vaccine themselves, they suddenly have no more clout?
Broad-reaching mandates by health care systems, states and the Biden administration are creating a health care worker shortage right in the midst of what they continue to tell us is a horrifically deadly pandemic that is being perpetrated by those who refuse to get vaccinated. Yet clearly, according to McDowell, this is far from the case.
How much longer are we going to tolerate this manufactured pandemic — and how much damage will be done to our nation’s vital health care infrastructure in the process?

I believe the congress people are in on this scam, as in, they are profiting from big pharma. Somehow we need to see which of them have bought lots of stock in the companies producing this garbage, because the deal they got, like never being held liable for death or wrecking a person’s health, had to happen so these congress people don’t lose a cent. Somebody with the knowledge to hack in and find out who bought stock, please do it.
Since half of Congress griped for four years that Mr. Trump did not release his tax returns, perhaps we should take that as a demand for transparency. If we get the majority of registered voters to write to their Congressional representatives and demand that every elected official, at all levels of government, be required to release their tax returns every year they are in office, we could have that transparency. Honest politicians, assuming they exist, would have no problem showing their returns.
Sorry but the way this world works now there is no such thing as an honest politician, They might start off honest but if they stay in office as long as biden, nancy etc have they are far from honest. The Elitist does not want honest politicians they want them only as their puppets and nothing else obey and stay in office or disobey and be removed one way or the other.
That’s why legally-binding term limits are necessary. We have de facto term limits, called the vote, but too many Americans vote strictly along party lines, rather than for candidates.
Without staffing to care for patients, capacity to accept patients goes down. No lies here, just misdirection. Any hospital can go to a medical supplier and buy hundreds or thousands of beds if they want to, but without a place to put them, and staff to assist patients in them, those beds are worthless. We need elected officials that understand the importance of truth and transparency, and we have had very few of them in office for the last 50 years.
I read a report that Pfizer is making billions off their vaccine! And they are paying corrupt dirtbag Biden millions to make ricidulous mandates!
The best way to handle that would be to have Congress pass legislation that companies making essential products during an emergency cannot pay their stockholders. That way, the stockholders cannot demand they raise prices to pay their dividends. Since Congress makes a lot of its money from stocks (without it being called insider trading), that is not likely to happen without a major public outcry.
Here you go with how much Pfizer is making from this vaccine
Pfizer’s revenue boomed as a result of its Covid-19 vaccine, and the company reported $10.5 billion in net income in the first half of 2021 — up $3.6 billion more from the same period in 2020. And according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics’ Open Secrets, the company reported $11.3 billion in revenue from its Covid-19 vaccine in the first half of 2021 alone.
Open Secrets noted that as Pfizer’s revenue increased, so did its lobbying efforts.
“In 2020, Pfizer spent $13.2 million on its lobbying efforts — that’s up from $11 million in 2019 and the most the company has spent on lobbying since 2009 during the debate over the Affordable Care Act,” the article states, noting that the company focused much of their lobbying in early 2020 on the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
With the FDA recently granting full approval to the Pfizer Covid vaccine and authorizing a third dose for immunocompromised individuals — with the expectation that further approval may come as soon as Labor Day weekend — Pfizer is likely to see a continued increase increase in profits.

The corrupt leftists have lied since the beginning of Covid! And so has Fauci and Biden! Control & fear
No problem with beds. The real problem is lack of staff. Mandates? They are not LAWS! A citizen can’t be fired for not getting the jab. That’s the written law. Who’s making BANK over all of this? Our courts and all them lawyers, that’s who.
Citizens are getting fired for not getting the vaccine, and they are getting fired legally. It’s all over the news.
All these PHARMA bosses getting RICH OFF OF LIES! Biden trying to KILLED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH HIS LIES AND CDC IS BENEFIT FROM IT WITH $$$$$$! Leftist need to go get the vaccine themselves! And leave the rest of us along! It your DEATH WISH IF YOU TAKE THE VACCINE! Nobody has any prove it those that HAS NOT GOT THE VACCINE THAT IN THESE HOSPITALS! BUT HERE YOU GOT A FORMER STAFF TELLING YOU HOSPITALS ARE FIRING THEM BECAUSE NURSE AND DOCTOR REFUSING TO GET THE VACCINE . AFTER SURVIVING THE COVID! And that the reason HOSPITALS are SHORT OF BEDS!
Subverting a subpoena? You mean like when Hillary received a subpoena for her blackberry and iphone, and she smashed them all with a hammer and then used bleachbit to wash away the evidence? Does that qualify as subverting a subpoena?
I am so tired of democrats touting the constitution and the need to protect it, while they trample it ever single day! The hypocrisy is astounding and exudes from their pores! I envision the day they are dragged out and are to face their crimes. The arrogance pisses me off to no end!
The big insurrection that was so big it requires the suspension of executive privilege. The insurrection without any guns or death, except Ashley Habit, was so big it eclipses 9/11 and Pearl Harbor!
I see where this is going. At some point the people are going to snap due to having nowhere else to turn, and when that day comes it will be quite the catharsis!
