Hi forum. This question is for nurses that deal a lot with covid patients so I'm thinking ICU nurses. Have you experienced vaccinated patients dying due to covid complications??? 0 Likes

Especially those with cancer diagnoses and severely compromised immune systems. I can only think of 1 or 2 fully vaccinated patients that died that did not also have cancer. 1 Likes

One had advanced leukemia and a trashed immune system. The other was a healthy young (31) man who came in to our ED with SOB and was dead less than four days later. Had our docs stumped and nothing we did seemed to matter. I'm not sure how many unvaccinated people died of COVID in our unit, over 50 though. 1 Likes
