Anti vaxxers are visiting ER to get secret vaccine

According to Dr. Calvin Sun, an NYC-based emergency medicine physician, more vaccine hesitant individuals are showing up in the emergency room.

“This past week, I had a lot of anti-vaxxers come to the emergency room secretly,” Sun said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “Patient privacy is a wonderful thing. They ended up getting it."

A Bloomberg analysis found that several areas of the country with relatively low vaccination rates are seeing jumps in inoculations amid the latest surge of cases.

“They don't have to tell their friends," Sun said of those now seeking vaccination after months of hesitancy. "They can save face, maintain their pride. I think we’re seeing a lot of that right now with the Delta variant making that impact on the people who haven’t gotten vaccinated yet.”
