Right: Bill, 70 pounds lighter, barely surviving COVID-19 after deciding not to get the vaccine.

He’s getting discharged from St. Anthony Hospital on Wednesday with a new outlook on life and the shot.

1. Doesn't take long to lose muscle mass

That's why all those formerly broken arms and legs look like skinny little twigs when the cast is removed. Use or lose it. An Unvaccinated Covid infection is the best way to lose it.

2. But he had such a strong immune system!

The anti-vaxxers say that "I have a great immune system" are full of crap. You have a great immune system for stuff that your body recognizes. Your immune system won't recognize COVID-19 because it's brand new. So, your body won't know how to handle it.

I guess a lot of people were napping during Biology class in high school.

6. And the main reason your body recognizes a lot of that stuff is because

your parents weren't as stupid as you are and had you vaccinated when you were a kid. As a result you never got polio, smallpox, measles, mumps, diphtheria, tetanus or whooping cough, the diseases that used to kill kids. You were alive and healthy (at least until you caught covid) because your vaccinations against those diseases gave you the healthy immune system you foolishly relied on to protect you from covid.

3. Bet he wishes he wasn't so afraid of a shot

So glad he didn’t fear the virus

4. Will need another type of job.

Looks terrible.

5. CNN had a weightlifter on

in spring of 2020, same coverage. He lost nearly 100 pounds or so. The before/after looked just as dramatic, even though he was in his 20's.

I guess this guy missed that story.

7. One condition that allows you to get the booster early is steroid use.

I have to take steroids for a back condition so I am able to get it now. I would guess he has abused them most of his life as most body builders do. He was a walking talking covid case waiting to happen.

8. Yep, my thoughts too.

He was definitely using them in those before pics.

9. Actually, immunosuppression is caused by corticosteroids, like prednisone

As in steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (vs NSAIDS - non-steroidal, like ibuprofen and aleve), rather than sex hormones like androgens which are anabolic steroids but not associated with immune system function.
