3/ The man encouraging Joe to leave is Antonio Mureddu.

He's uploaded a video with a member of his 'team' saying that they will try to "save as many lives" as they can.

4/ Antonio Mureddu repeatedly thanks Dolores Cahill helping to get Joe out of the hospital.

Cahill is a celebrity in the anti-mask & anti-vaccine movement.

Here she is appearing on @delbigtree's show, a major anti-vaccine misinformation source.

Video of McCarron leaving Letterkenny University Hospital with the help of Antonio Mureddu Gravegliu began to circulate on social media on September 14.

"We are saving Joe's life," Gravegliu says in the video. "Today is a winning day for Ireland." He goes on to thank Dr. Dolores Cahill, a prominent figure in Ireland’s anti-vaccination movement.

A doctor pleads with McCarron in the video to stay in the hospital: “You have the right to decide what you want to do.

“You’re barely able to breathe,” the doctor says. “We want you to stay to help you.”

Gravegliu, who was wearing a mask under his chin, tells McCarron, “If you stay here, they going to f***ing kill you, Joe.”

'Vigilante treatments': Anti-vaccine groups push people to leave ICUs

1. Anytime an anti-vaxxer wants to leave the ICU...

I will help them pack.

Hard to see the down side here.

[Nevilledog]

4. In theory, I agree. BUT.....

What about the safety of our healthcare workers because these shitheads will be violent?

How can these patients be making this decision when they're so sick?

What about family members that might push this even if patient might not want to leave?

[Major Nikon]

30. The story was about a guy who volunteered to go

Removing them involuntarily would be more problematic, but would be prudent if the bed space was needed by those vaccinated and with other conditions

[2naSalit]

2. Self appointed angels of death.

[tanyev]

3. And they'll say it's because they didn't get him out soon enough.

Betcha.

[SergeStorms]

20. Oh, right you are.

Because nothing is ever these assholes fault. Just like the guy who started downplaying the pandemic from jump-street, and came up with "wonder cures" like hydroxy, bleach, special lights shoved down your throat etc. they'll try everything but the right thing.

Then, like you said, they'll blame it all on everyone but themselves. The nerve of these people!

Hopefully that asshole who talked him into leaving the hospital will get the virus and die too. It's all he deserves.

[Liberty Belle]

5. Mureddo and Cahill with murder or at least accessory to murder.

They contributed to his death by convincing him to try quack cures instead of getting real treatment.

Many have been arrested for fake cancer cures; I googled "cancer quack arrest" and got lots of hits in the US and other countries:

[jeffreyi]

7. Agree.

Elder abuse. That man could not make a decision. Wonder how this stuff plays out in Ireland.

[peppertree]

13. And what's more, Mureddu has links to an Italian neo-fascist party.

[SergeStorms]

22. That would make him...

a friend of every republican in the United States then. Fucking fascists.

[peppertree]

25. Certo!

As you know, there's also good reason to believe they colluded with Brazil's Bolsonazi to bring all those Haitians up to the Texas border (they were almost all from Brazil).

The encampment has since been cleared - but they were there long enough for 1,000 photos on the Post and 1,000 screaming rants on Faux News.

[SergeStorms]

26. Oh yeah.

They're all peas from the same fascist pod, and that pod was planted and fertilized by Vladimir Putin.

[Treefrog]

6. I wonder if anyone has interviewed the fucking anti vaxxer about this.

As as I’m concerned he’s guilty of manslaughter.

[ZonkerHarris]

8. Darwin wins again.

[No Vested Interest]

9. Joe's story is covered on sorryantivaxxer.com

Many interesting and bizarre Covid aftermaths on that site.

[C Moon]

19. Yes. That website is a priceless piece of work.

[struggle4progress]

10. At night, we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines!

It's a death trap! it's a suicide rap!
We gotta get out while we're young!

I wanna die with you on the streets tonight!

This PSA is brought to you by the ghost of Jack Kevorkian

[tulipsandroses]

11. It's hard for me to garner sympathy

I thought of the Amtrak crash and I wondered, what would have happened if this had ended up with mass casualties and mass injuries? Would the area hospitals be able to handle it? Are they over run with COVID patients? The selfishness of some of these folks. It’s just hard for me these days to feel sympathy

[peppertree]

12. "No. Ees no wrong."

"CHES! EES WRONG! You son of the beech."

[OverBurn]

14. Idiots, fuck'em.

[monkeyman1]

15. just say -no vaccination - no admittance, to hospital ! no exceptions !

[blueinredohio]

16. The anti vaxxer said his wife agreed that he should go home.

Why is she denouncing them now?

[orleans]

17. i could only watch the first part of the video

i saw the man in the orange shirt, sitting down, listening, nodding his head

he looked confused

i'm sorry but when people are sick sometimes they can't make good decisions -- that is why i was my mother's advocate, and my daughter was mine when i was in the icu a number of years ago

i feel sorry for this man who didn't look like he was able to make a clear-headed decision.

(not sure who the fuck that asshole was trying to get him out of there and i'm wondering why the hell he was allowed in the hospital to begin with since he wasn't a relative)

[Quakerfriend]

18. I don't know how this is even allowed.

During the pandemic we have not been allowing ANYONE from outside into the hospital, let alone the ICU. - No family, no friends, NO visitors.

[James48]

21. Where are the FEMA camps when you need them?

We need to be rounding all the anti-vaxxers up and put them in FEMA camps for the safety of the public.

Just lock them up.

[rockfordfile]

23. Antonio Mureddu should be arrested.

[Ilsa]

24. One more bed available for someone who really wants help. nt

[Kid Berwyn]

27. Brainwashed Death Cult

Weaponized stupidity.

[Nevilledog]

29. Goodness...an idiot out of its natural habitat!
