Calling out this lying cunt of a Doctor James Moore of Enloe Hospital Chico Ca
BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. - It's been more than a year since Dr. James Moore became the first person in Butte County to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
"I am going to have an added protection from the patients I see every day," Moore said back in 2020. Fast forward to now.
"Despite seeing so much at work I've been able to avoid getting sick as have most of my vaccinated colleagues, which here at the hospital is almost everybody," Moore said.
Since not everyone is vaccinated in Butte County, Dr. Moore tells Action News Now he sees it first hand at the hospital.
"It matters to me day in and day out. I take care of COVID-19 positive patients," Moore explained, "and I will tell you out of every 10 positive patients I see, 9 of them are unvaccinated."
When the vaccine first came last year, many people saw it as the light at the end of the tunnel, but as months passed by a divided country changed that.
"People are lacking trust in institutions that we've trusted for a hundred years," Moore said.
And it's resulting in deadly outcomes.
"A patient I just had one a couple of days ago who came in ill but we started the with the conversation 'you know my dad just died of Covid last week and I think that's how I got it.' So here we are walking down that same path watching their father pass away a week before and now telling them they're coming to the hospital as well. I can't even imagine what that's like in someone's head," Moore said.
At the peak of Delta - Moore says the hospital was overrun with COVID-19 patients.
"COVID not only affects the emergency department it affects primary care. Primary care physicians won't see patients if they have a cough or fever so that just diverts everyone to the ER," Moore said.
Moore says if you don't want to end up here - he has one message.
"Get vaccinated," he said.
Dr. Moore got his second dose of the vaccine three weeks after his first. And he got his booster in June of 2021.
Moore says if there is a sudden surge in COVID cases in Butte County he says his team is ready to take it on.
