No Joey it’s your treasonous open border policy allowing millions of illegals into the country and giving them free health care “On Our Dime”! That’s the real reason why hospitals are being overrun...you lying POS!

Tucker Carlson Tonight' host accuses Biden of lying about hospitals being overrun with the unvaccinated
Mehh.. Hes just a puppet to Pelosi/Harris. He doesn't believe these things. Hes just parroting words. Hes the senile old grandparent you use to make buy you stuff when you were a kid cause your mom and dad wouldn't
I am very confused as to what this post is trying to communicate, but I can vouch for seeing lots and lots of unvaccinated people having serious covid complications and dying. My sister is a nurse practitioner who works in palliative care for mostly geriatric patients and she is seeing a whole lot of covid-related deaths, almost all unvaccinated.
I work at a university where 90%+ are vaccinated, and covid is simply not an issue. The rare breakthrough infections are usually mild and last a day or two. No students or faculty have been hospitalized out of hundreds of cases.
Obviously Carlson's scriptwriters didn't do their homework. This is one day at one of our local hospitals, broken out by vaxxed/unvaxxed. It's pretty typical of statistics being compiled in other places.
In short, if you get information from Tucker Carlson, you are not quite as smart after as you were before.

Systematically create a sense of powerlessness in the person.
This is accomplished by getting members away from the normal social support group for a period of time and into an environment where the majority of people are already group members.
The members serve as models of the attitudes and behaviors of the group and speak an in-group language.
Strip members of their main occupation (quit jobs, drop out of school) or source of income or have them turn over their income (or the majority of) to the group.
Once stripped of your usual support network, your confidence in your own perception erodes.
As your sense of powerlessness increases, your good judgment and understanding of the world are diminished. (ordinary view of reality is destabilized)
As group attacks your previous worldview, it causes you distress and inner confusion; yet you are not allowed to speak about this confusion or object to it -- leadership suppresses questions and counters resistance.
This process is speeded up if you are kept tired -- the cult will keep you constantly busy.
Manipulate a system of rewards, punishments and experiences in such a way as to inhibit behavior that reflects the person's former social identity
Your old beliefs and patterns of behavior are defined as irrelevant or evil. Leadership wants these old patterns eliminated, so the member must suppress them
Members get positive feedback for conforming to the group's beliefs and behaviors and negative feedback for old beliefs and behavior.
Manipulate a system of rewards, punishments, and experiences in order to promote learning the group's ideology or belief system and group-approved behaviors
Good behavior, demonstrating an understanding and acceptance of the group's beliefs, and compliance are rewarded while questioning, expressing doubts or criticizing are met with disapproval, redress and possible rejection. If one expresses a question, he or she is made to feel that there is something inherently wrong with them to be questioning.
The only feedback members get is from the group, they become totally dependent upon the rewards given by those who control the environment.
Members must learn varying amounts of new information about the beliefs of the group and the behaviors expected by the group.
The more complicated and filled with contradictions the new system in and the more difficult it is to learn, the more effective the conversion process will be.
Esteem and affection from peers is very important to new recruits. Approval comes from having the new member's behaviors and thought patterns conform to the models (members). Members' relationship with peers is threatened whenever they fail to learn or display new behaviors. Over time, the easy solution to the insecurity generated by the difficulties of learning the new system is to inhibit any display of doubts -- new recruits simply acquiesce, affirm and act as if they do understand and accept the new ideology.
Put forth a closed system of logic and an authoritarian structure that permits no feedback and refuses to be modified except by leadership approval or executive order
The group has a top-down, pyramid structure. The leaders must have verbal ways of never losing.
Members are not allowed to question, criticize or complain -- if they do, the leaders allege that the member is defective -- not the organization or the beliefs.
The individual is always wrong -- the system, its leaders and its belief are always right.
Conversion or remolding of the individual member happens in a closed system. As members learn to modify their behavior in order to be accepted in this closed system, they change -- begin to speak the language -- which serves to further isolate them from their prior beliefs and behaviors.

The red states have dismal vaccination rates, but the OP and Tucker Carlson want to pretend that all of those unvaccinated people couldn't possibly be filling up the ICUs. Nope, it simply must be some other reason. It can't possibly be all of those unvaccinated idiots. Nope. Can't be.
The above is the current state of mind of today's right wing. Their own constituents are dropping like flies on a daily basis, but they have their hand over their eyes and their fingers in their ears and they see and hear NOTHING...except what tools like the vaccinated Tucker Carlson tell them. Such stupidity is what is taking this country down.

Evidently, your script writers did not do their homework either. The graphic represents patients being treated for Covid at all of Prisma Health’s hospitals, not “one of your local hospitals”.
