Despite vaccine mandates, California’s public health collapses due to the common cold… hospitals under siege from masses of sick people

Democrats are the poster children of insanity: They keep doing the same things over and over and over again expecting a different outcome.
Take California (please!). In recent years the one-party state (Democrats) violated the rights of everyone by mandating that vaccines will be administered to all children, regardless of parents’ objections to them.
Because vaccines, don’t you know, are the end-all, cure-all of everything that ails us.
Except when they’re not, which is frequently the case when it comes to “flu season.”
Despite that fact that flu shots and other vaccines are widely mandated in California, the Los Angeles Times reports that many of its hospitals resemble “war zones” because they are under siege by legions of sick people.
This year’s strain of flu — well, this year’s most debilitating strain of flu — is the H3N2, known for being “more virulent” than other strains, the paper reported.
“In my career, I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Connie Cunningham, director for Loma Linda University Medical Center’s emergency services.
So far this year, 42 people younger than age 65 have died from the flu. That compares with none from the same period last year. So many people are sick that hospitals are having to set up tents in the parking lot just to triage everyone.
“It’s like trying to surf a tsunami,” said Dr. Brian Johnston, an E.R. physician at White Memorial Medical Center in Boyle Heights.
“There’s a little bit of a feeling of being in the trenches,” said Dr. James McKinnell, an infectious disease specialist. “We’re really battling these infections to try to get them under control.”
Why? What could have possibly happened in vaccine-mandate-land?
For one thing, the flu vaccine this year is about as effective as it is every year, which is to say, not very. “National health officials predict the shot may only be 30 percent effective this year,” the Times reported, adding lamely (and incorrectly) that the vaccine “can reduce the severity and length of the illness for those who get sick.”
