‘They chased their nurses away. They made it hell for their employees,’ Rep. Paul Ray says

A Utah Republican lawmaker made an inaccurate claim that the shortage of ICU beds in Utah hospitals was not because of the COVID-19 pandemic but partly because of bad business decisions.

Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield made the comment during a hearing on what lawmakers could do to thwart President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for businesses. Ray was riffing on whether people should be required to be vaccinated.

“It’s a person’s choice. If you choose not to get vaccinated, you get sick and you die. That’s on you. That’s your call,” Ray said.

Hey Utah...you deserve better....seriously gaslighting is still gaslighting and this guy...likes to blow smoke....the numbers do not lie nationally or locally....they are all intermeshed....

He said this:

Ray, who sponsored the “pandemic endgame” bill earlier this year that lifted most COVID-related restrictions, said it was disingenuous to blame the lack of capacity entirely on the COVID pandemic and those who were unvaccinated.

1. If ONLY they got sick & died. But they get sick and consume much precious resources while dying. .nt

any diseases / virus's that would have killed him and them and there parents had to follow rules........
