Quick Summary: It is due to the Unvaccinated. Countries with high vaccination rates like Portugal are not having a problem. Why is Europe returning to the dark days of Covid? The continent is now the centre of the global epidemic – again.

"We've blown it" Mayo doctor on US handling of pandemic https://www.audacy.com/wccoradio/news/local/weve-blown-it-mayo-doctor-on-us-handling-of-pandemic If you think life in United States will return to pre-pandemic normalcy in 2022, think again. Sobering analysis today from Dr. Gregory Poland at the Mayo Clinic, who has this stark assessment of how the United States has handled the COVID pandemic. "Frankly, we've blown it," Dr. Poland told WCCO's Paul Douglas. "We made a collective decision as individuals and as a nation (that we) cannot do what should have been required of us in order to deal with this." Poland says because so many people still won't get vaccinated, and because so many simply won't adhere to other safety measures like wearing a mask, there is no way COVID is going away any time soon. He says at best, seasonal vaccines will likely be required against COVID moving forward, but he says that doesn't take into consideration possible new variants. (Article has audio)

Bodies pile up outside hospital morgue as Romania struggles with fourth wave of Covid https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/22/europe/romania-covid-19-vaccine-skepticism-intl-cmd/index.html Bucharest, Romania (CNN)"It's relentless -- relentless," sighed nurse Claudiu Ionita, standing in front of a line of gurneys in Bucharest University Hospital's morgue. On each gurney lay a body inside a black plastic bag. The morgue has a capacity for 15 bodies, but on the day CNN visited, it had received 41. The excess bodies filled the corridor outside, while wails echoed from within the morgue. A woman had been allowed inside for a final glimpse of her father. Bucharest University Hospital is the Romanian capital's largest medical facility treating Covid-19 patients and is struggling through the country's fourth wave, its worst yet. "I never thought, when I started this job, that I would live through something like this," said Ionita. "I never thought such a catastrophe could happen, that we'd end up sending whole families to their graves." Several floors above, all the beds but one in the hospital's now-expanded intensive care units were full. A nurse was changing the sheets on the one vacant bed -- empty, because the person who occupied it now lay in the morgue. Romania has one of Europe's lowest vaccination rates. Just under 36% of the population has been vaccinated, even though the country's vaccination campaign got off to a good start last December. Medical workers and officials attribute this low vaccination rate to a variety of factors, including suspicion of the authorities, deeply held religious beliefs, and a flood of misinformation surging through social media. When Dr. Alexandra Munteanu, 32, arrived for duty at one of Bucharest's vaccination centers after an overnight shift in hospital, she found turnout was low. She's perplexed that the gravity of the disease just doesn't seem to have sunk in. "There are lots of doctors, myself included, who work with Covid patients, and we are trying to tell people this disease actually exists," she said. One of the country's most vocal and high-profile anti-vaxxers is Diana Sosoaca, a member of the Romanian Senate. In one of her many public stunts she tried to block people from entering a vaccine center in her constituency in the northeast of the country. "If you love your children, stop the vaccinations," she says in a video clip on her Facebook page. "Don't kill them!" The vaccines on offer in Romania have been extensively tested for use in children and have proven to be safe and effective, but that hasn't stopped her and others from spreading wild rumors on social media and local television. Officials and medical personnel are exasperated that public figures have done so much to undermine their efforts. "Look at the reality," said Col. Dr. Valeriu Gheorghita, an army doctor who runs the national vaccination campaign. "We have our intensive care units full of patients. We have lots of new cases. We have, unfortunately, hundreds of deaths every day. So this is the reality. And more than 90% of patients who died were unvaccinated." In Bucharest, a huge banner has gone up, covering half the façade of a building on a major boulevard. "They're suffocating. They're begging us. They're regretting," are the words printed in massive black letters above black-and-white photographs of medics struggling over Covid patients in an intensive care unit. Down below, few passers-by glance up at the poster, and even fewer cared to share their thoughts with CNN. Soon, however, that banner will go up in other major cities in the country. "There's manipulation," said a woman who gave her name only as Claudia, adding: "Some people don't believe in the vaccines." (More at above url)

Are you dense? Lockdowns don’t work Masks don’t work Vaccines are garbage Every single thing you have been pushing has been a FAILURE. And the damage it’s caused is far worse than any manmade Chinese lab virus.
