💡VACCINE MANDATE?—a young 20-year-old UNC student is now brain dead from #COVID19 complications—his mother begged, cajoled, nagged him to #vaccinate—she now begs you. ➡️damning—@UNC_System doesn’t mandate vaccines—he caught COVID 2 days after arriving. 🧵

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Many of the unvaccinated hope the odds are in their favor, and if they do catch COVID-19, they won’t get that sick. That was the case with Tyler Gilreath, a 20-year-old UNCW student who is now brain dead due to complications he suffered after contracting the virus in mid-August. His family plans to take him off life support Monday evening after doctors harvest his organs.

“I cajoled, encouraged, threatened, and nagged for him to get vaccinated,” Tyler’s mother, Tamra Demello, told WECT. “I did everything I could possibly think. I think he did some research where he was thinking that it was going to hurt his heart long-term or something… I’m not even sure where he was getting his information which is super frustrating. Sometimes, I felt like the harder I pushed the more — he basically said to me, ‘mom, leave me alone. I can take care of myself.’”

After catching COVID-19 two days after moving from Cary to Wilmington to attend UNCW, Tyler got extremely sick. Demello said Tyler’s COVID infection morphed into a sinus infection combined with a staph infection, which later passed into his brain.

An abscess on his brain ruptured last week and he was rushed to the hospital by his roommates. Tyler briefly regained consciousness, but continued to lose brain function. On Friday, a CAT scan revealed there was no blood flow to his brain and the damage was irreversible.

1. My God how sad!

He did some "research."

I'm hoping maybe a look at his search history might reveal what ghoul fed him the misinformation that destroyed his life.

There must be consequences for the people pushing this crap, but I'm at a loss as to how that will happen.

2. +1,000!

Horrific!

3. "I think he did some research" ... that's perfect for his headstone

Did research like listening to right cry about nonexistent freedoms from personal responsibility and civic duty to a society in which they want to participate.

6. They are doing their research on facebook and other social media.

Getting advice from anonymous people on the internet.

4. Harvest his organs....

I hope to study and not to transplant.

5. He is likely not infectious anymore.

I am sure they will verify that by testing.

9. There is just so much we still don't know.

I contracted Covid in early January and it was a “mild” case. No hospitalization or o2 needed. That said, I had a fever of 103.3, chills. Bone crushing body aches, night sweats, head ache, absolute exhaustion. After a few nights, the fever was 101+at night, after a few more 100+ nights and finally I started to feel better after 8 days. Most of the symptoms resolved themselves by day 12 with the exception of the exhaustion.

That literally lasted months. I was still sleeping 10 hours a night well into March and still had to set an alarm clock to wake up.

I know his family wants something positive to come from this sad loss of life, and I guess if I needed an organ life or death and this was the last option than I would look at it as a lifeline, but transplant patients are on all types of immunosuppressive meds to help prevent rejection.

10. I presume doctors know what they are doing.

7. 2 days? Wouldn't his exposure have been prior to

going to campus? Or did he just get sick immediately? Something smells.

Staph infection plus COVID-19, but organ harvesting? Maybe his corneas, but I wouldn't accept an organ from him, just zs I wouldn't accept one from someone with metastasized cancer.

8. He caught it two days after moving.

It's been already a month. He is not infectious anymore, most likely. I don't think people waiting for organs can afford to be that picky.
The staph infection is presumably limited to his brain.

11. Some people do develop symptoms very quickly.

There's a lot of variation of incubation time.

12. And delta develops faster than original covid.
