Unvaccinated Texas GOP candidate who was hospitalized with COVID-19 says his illness made him 'even more dedicated' to fight vaccine mandatesAn unvaccinated Texas GOP gubernatorial candidate who was hospitalized with COVID-19 over the weekend has said that his experience had made him "even more dedicated" to fighting vaccine mandates.
Allen West, who is running to represent the Republican Party in next year's Texas gubernatorial race, said in a video posted Monday that he was out of the hospital and "doing well."
West, a former US representative for Florida and retired Army lieutenant colonel, had continued tweeting criticism of vaccine mandates and the Biden administration's pandemic response from his hospital bed over the weekend.
"I can attest that, after this experience, I am even more dedicated to fighting against vaccine mandates," West tweeted Sunday. In the Monday video, which was taken from his home, he also urged people "not to fear the virus."
