anti vaxxer wanted COVID to prove its not dangerous. now she's so sick it's "please pray for me"

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/just-pray-for-me-please-laura-loomer-suffers-brutal-symptoms-after-hoping-she-would-get-covid/ar-AAOyZzA?ocid=msedgntp

Far-right anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer said Thursday that she tested positive for COVID-19 and feels like she got "hit by a bus" after dismissing concerns about infection.

Loomer in December wished to get infected so that she can show people it was not dangerous.

"I hope I get COVID just so I can prove to people I've had bouts of food poisoning that are more serious and life threatening than a hyped up virus," she wrote in a post on the right-wing social network Parler. "Have you ever eaten bad fajitas? That will kill you faster than COVID."


But Loomer said in a new post on the TrumpWorld social network Gettr that she tested positive and is suffering from severe symptoms.

"Yesterday I was feeling ill. I had a fever, chills, a runny nose, sore throat, nausea and severe body aches that made my whole body feel like I got hit by a bus, and after sleeping for a few hours, my symptoms started to remind me of how I felt when I had a bad case of the flu a few years ago," she wrote. "So I took a COVID test and it came back POSITIVE."

Uglicans never change their minds unless and until reality bitch-slaps the snot out of them.

8. A friend of mine in Belgium had it last year. "It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest."

He was lucky to survive it. He got it from his mom, who was ashamed to tell him that she had it, and so she didn't. He didn't take precautions around her because he had no way of knowing that things were any different with her.

He recovered, but he said he was so weak afterward that he had to rest halfway to the bathroom, and needed a stool in the shower because he couldn't stand up for more than a few seconds at a time for weeks after being pronounced well enough to leave the hospital.

Sufficiently would not be a good outcome for her with her arrogant and stupid murderousness.
