MAGAt political cartoonist says he has covid, and is treating it with ivermectin, vitamins, zinc, and beet juitce.
I would say good on him for at least having the courage of his convictions.
Except, his convictions would have him infect bystanders from his insanity/inanity, some of whom may even conceivably be innocent.
As he lays dying, as I predict he might since he has a serious illness and is taking things that will probably exacerbate it, I hope he feels pretty stupid.
Remind me again how the covidiots are spinning these non-vaccinated, un-hospitalized and home treatment Covid deaths? Fake news? Crisis actors? Extra-terrestrial intervention? Spiritual sublimation?
They wind up in the hospital when their home remedies don’t work, then blame the hospitals for the deaths.
My guess is that most of them ignore the deaths, and talk up the ones who recovered. As long as they don’t take too many poisons, a lot of them are going to recover, after all. And pointing out that they’d have recovered faster and easier, or wouldn’t have caught it at all, if they’d been vaccinated will go straight in one ear and out the other.
And, of course, if the person who dies is over 60 or so, there’s always ‘they were just about to die anyway!’ (A particularly annoying technique to me, as I – and a lot of my friends – are well over 60 and nowhere near ready to go yet.)
I’d like to point out that the most recent subject of this thread is an unvaccinated man in his 60s, refusing to treat it with actual medicine meant to treat the illness. Even if he doesn’t poison himself I don’t like his odds. (I know you’re speaking in generalities and I agree that most often they will recover but the cartoonist is in a worse position.)
For certain values of “recover.” Maybe they won’t die, but some of them will have problems for a long time/the rest of their lives, that they wouldn’t have had if they hadn’t caught it in the first place. Of course, those cases are even easier to ignore, the details get lost in the wash.
Given that he appears to be a hammerhead PoS bent on disseminating dangerous bullshit, I like his odds very much. I mean, they do not look particularly good for him, but …
In my neck of the woods at least, the families of the dead person immediately set up go-fund me sites to grift off the gullible.
I wonder if there are fake gofundme sites popping up all over.
I’m seeing claims that Gabby Pettito (the formerly missing white girl whose body was found in Wyoming) is a crisis actor who appears in Sandy Hook videos.
Anti-vaxxer gave out his phone number at an anti-vaxx rally because “I have nothing to hide.” He’s now begging people to stop calling him.
I need to get a burner phone, for just such occasions,
We really do have a mental health crisis in this country.
The guy’s Canadian, ftr
Oh yes. Grifters gotta grift.
Oh, sure, my site’s going great guns!
Illinois man gets bit by a bat, refuses treatment, dies of rabies.
In mid-August, a Lake County resident in his 80s woke up with a bat at his neck. The bat was captured, and an entire colony was later discovered to be living in his home. Once the bat was known to have rabies, the man was advised to seek post-exposure treatment. But for whatever reason, he declined.
I’m guessing that since he was in his 80s, he figured he’d gamble on the possibility that he’d turn into a vampire and no longer have to worry about the effects of old age.
If that’s the case he was only half wrong; he no longer has to worry about the effects of old age.
