I can see from their perspective why they would have very little tolerance for unvaccinated people with comorbidities not taking a therapeutic that everyone they know took because of ‘conspiracy theories’ causing them to do more work. I am not saying it is right, but they are humans doing a job and unvaccinated people ARE causing them more work (when it comes to Covid). It is just a fact.
Yet if they send a known drug addict experiencing his 3rd or 4th overdose back out the door untreated or send away the 500 lb diabetic woman who still has the smell of a bag of Oreos and the 2 liter Coke she washed it down with on her breath, God help them because that hospital and all involved are going to be sued and lose.
Let's face a fact, hospitals and hospital workers aren't holy houses or heroes. They're a business occupied by folks who are well compensated to perform specific jobs, PERIOD. One of the biggest facepalms we've made since COVID appeared is treating these skilled workers like they were going above and beyond by simply doing their jobs. It caused many of those doctors and nurses to become insufferable, ego inflated wannabe celebrities when, in all reality, they're just another group of folks doing a job they chose for a compensation they agreed to.
I wholeheartedly concur. This same issue occurs with regards to police, firemen, first responders, teachers, gov officials and military personnel. Putting someone into the role of selfless hero is absurd unless they have personally performed in a manner to have it apply. The across the board blanket labeling of these people is insanity. Just more of the brainwashing of the American people to further strengthen this whole appeal to authority nonsense.
They do this in order to brainwash the population. Have your own thoughts about a subject? Well.. you are wrong because this person who is in a position if authority that we have deemed appropriate says otherwise. It's how you change the citizen back into a subject. It takes generations to do it this way, but there was really no other way for them to do it. Brute force wouldn't work on us.

IMHO, your title should say
For all you who have covid, vaxxed or unvaxxed.
Lack of treatment until it gets into the lungs has been the game plan from the beginning.......
23 Dec 2021 The FDA authorized molnupiravir, an oral antiviral treatment manufactured by Merck, for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in people ages 18 years and older.
The FDA has approved the antiviral drug Veklury (remdesivir) for adults and certain pediatric patients with COVID-19 who are sick enough to need hospitalization. Veklury should only be administered in a hospital or in a health care setting capable of providing acute care comparable to inpatient hospital care.
The FDA has issued EUAs for several monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19 for the treatment, and in some cases prevention (prophylaxis), of COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients. Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made molecules that act as substitute antibodies. They can help your immune system recognize and respond more effectively to the virus, making it more difficult for the virus to reproduce and cause harm.

My bet, it's still at a 99.98% survivability rate. I'm not wasting another second of my life on 0.02%.

99% of the time if you call a doctors office or hospital for treatment, they just tell you to stay home and that's it.
Obviously you can take Vitamins, Zinc and all that on the 1st/2nd day of symptoms and you'll be 75% better the next day or two.
They are suppressing antibody treatments and ivermectin/NAC -- I used to be able to find NAC on the shelf at walmart, but ever since Joe Rogan was talking about Ivermectin and even NAC, they immediately pulled it... Obviously the Pharma OP and the Gubbment are against their own people.

I sympathize with both you and your son. It sucks to be overweight and have the healthcare industry all set with a pre-examination diagnosis ready to go.
Unfortunately, unless you have something measurable in your lungs or are having a hard time breathing, there really isn't a treatment to speak of. You just tough it out and hope for the best.
I was just in an ER, not covid related, and left at 5AM this morning. While there I seized the opportunity and talked to my nurse as much as I could about covid. She said exactly what I just said above: if you aren't having trouble breathing the hospital doesn't have much to offer you.
Now we all know that there are some things out there that some people claim work as treatments. Why is the industry ignoring that? Could be a lot of things. But most likely its because it doesn't fit the, "We have to save you so you will feel indebted to us" narrative. And if you have a co-morbidity, well that's just a built in scapegoat for TPTB.

OP sorry to hear about your son and I'm glad he is on the road to recovery.
We are 2 years into this virus. We need to use common sense. If you are in ANY sort of health risk, I am 100% encouraging you to get the vax.
Obese
Smoker
Diabetes
Anything that you might even question, go get the vax!
We as a nation are like 60% obese, people who never thought they would get it or are not a health risk find out the hard way sometimes and it sucks to see.

Or!!!!! Don't do that
And lose weight stop smoking and start taking proper supplementation and going to the gym and abandon the thought of injecting yourself with a foreign substance in favor of natural remedies
It's ridiculous that we've gone from encouraging healthy lifestyles to using needles and foreign fluids instead..

My daughter is an ER nurse, right now the protocol for covid is, if you test positive, but have symptoms of covid, you will get an ex ray and check on your oxygen levels.
If your lungs are good and your oxygen is normal you will be send home with not medications or treatments beside over the counter remedies, to monitor yourself to make sure you will not get worst, if you get worst and have shortness of breath then you can come back to the ER for further treatment.
Where my daughter works this new protocol started during the summer, to avoid overwhelming the ERs and hospitals.
The vaccine for 99% of the people is going to be effective

One of my sons recently had covid. He was, like many of you, anti-vax. He is 26, 6'3, and about 300 lbs. He was very sick and went to the ER last Saturday night, they sent him home with no treatment. Said he was morbidly obese and unvaxxed, basically good luck! The actual quote was to "suffer at home". This was after they X-rayed his lungs and they were clear. I am not sure what they would have done if his lungs were bad. Luckily he is recovering, still has an awful cough. My problem with the medical establishment is if you are overweight and unvaxxed you can expect little to no treatment unless you're already close to having overwhelmed lungs. It may be too little too late at that point. If anything, this makes me start to mistrust medical institutions even more. First, do no harm, right? Charlotte is not overwhelmed, people are not dying in the hallways. The lack of any treatment is directly because it doesn't fit the narrative of universal vaccination. Treatments are available, they're being suppressed so the unvaxxed suffer needlessly. For you unvaxxed I wish you the best but you need to go into this with both eyes open.
