This was posted by an anti-vaxxer Covid patient, WHILE in the ICU. He's just put on a vent

[Siwsan]

Honestly, the denial is astonishing.

[Nevilledog]

1. Soon he'll be able to see whether his belief in heaven & hell is supported.

[viva la]

5. One thing I've learned from the sorryantivaxxer site-

Actually two things:

1. Antivaxxers (active on social media at least) are far more likely to be weird-evangelical, by which I mean with extreme and non-conventional religious beliefs that they see as "Christian" (like fervent belief in Trump and also hatred of immigrants)

2. No matter what happens, they praise their god and never blame him.

So this guy will no doubt go into nothingness absolutely believing it's heaven.

It's almost comical, how they "assemble their prayer warriors" to urge God to heal this patient, and then when God fails or refuses or doesn't notice, and the guy dies in agony, they piously say, "God granted him the ultimate healing!"

Oh, and "God must have needed another angle."

(That's how they often spell 'angel'.)

God can literally do no wrong as far as they're concerned. I never see anyone ever questioning their faith in this arbitrary and/or cruel and/or useless god.

[SCantiGOP]

7. I have asked several online whether they are opposed to gun ownership

The answer is always No, so I ask them why they think God will protect them from the virus, but they need a gun to protect them from other threats.
Get some interesting but bizarre answers.

[flying_wahini]

14. I will have to write that down so I can use it later. Thanks! scanti

[smirkymonkey]

23. Can you share any of them with us?

I am really curious as to how this idiots think.

[634-5789]

24. PSSST,,,,I've seen a couple gun nutz here, tho. Wonder what their 'god' is?....

[Mr.Bill]

46. I think many of them

have a sincere desire to kill someone and want to be equipped to do it if they can do it legally. George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are examples of this. They both killed unarmed people that they could have walked away from. They carried their guns because they wanted to kill someone.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

50. Psychopaths there's too many of them

They can look normal until the bodies start stinking.

A lot of sociopaths are waiting with bated breath for tfg
And the right wing sociopath autocrats who ignore the law give them permission to murder without consequences.

[viva la]

51. But because they're "Christian",

they have to pretend that they're doing God's will when they kill.
It's sick, but we've seen it before (Spanish conquistadors come to mind).

[Siwsan]

8. Between that site and the Herman Cain Awardss site, definitely a pattern

Sorryantivaxxers seems to have slowed down in their postings but the Herman Cain site is roaring away - I follow it on Facebook.

These people seem to think they can 'command' a virus to leave a body. Judas Freaking PRIEST they are deluded. The so called prayer warriors might be a psychological benefit but they don't impact the actual disease process.

I disagree with the people who go on to troll the social media sites of these antivaxxers, but admit I'd love to ask them how they feel that their prayers never seem to be answered in the affirmative.

[harumph]

9. Or in some (good) outcomes their god gets the credit

and in bad outcomes they may blame their devil.

It's a fungible religion. They've got an answer for everything - and in cases

where they can't come up with anything, the solemnly say "...because it's a broken world."

[barbtries]

15. generally what they do

is beg for prayers until the person dies, then they post hallelujah because gawd called so and so home and the suffering is over. they pivot from fervently wanting to live (or wanting their loved one to live) to celebrating the same person's death. I call it a pivot. and you know "gawd don't make mistakes"

[phylny]

27. It shows how ignorant they are.

Ángels, according to the Bible, are not dead people but separate beings.

[Baitball Blogger]

2. Was it Glenn Beck?

He's been silent these last three days. You would think we would be hearing from him if he was doing better.

[peggysue2]

11. Last time I read anything about Beck and his infection . . .

he wrote that Covid was in his lungs and that he was taking hydrodroxy and other 'therapeutics'.

Good luck with that!

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Yeah, it's weird that we haven't heard from him since.

[calguy]

3. He'll be talking about it with Herman Cain soon.

[JustAnotherGen]

4. And I'm supposed to be concerned about them dying . . .

When they aren't?

Not sorry -we have a member at DU who has been told that potential surgery for Ovarian Cancer is not critical - because of all of these asswipes taking up space in hospitals.

I will zip lip / sit on hands - as anything else I write will be cruel.

[DURHAM D]

6. Hope no one pokes a hole in his vent. nt

[dalton99a]

10. Have fun.

[LakeArenal]

13. Buh-bye......

[SKKY]

16. Please DU Fam, schadenfreude is not a good look.

This is sad. Someone loved this guy, and he obviously loved others. There is nothing to be celebrated.

[Hekate]

17. +1

[Siwsan]

18. He's also a plague spreader

And his family is equally irresponsible. As someone who lost a good friend and almost lost a brother to Covid, my sympathy well is pretty dry.

Not to mention my recent Omicron scare, despite being ultra careful when I venture out.

[roamer65]

19. No sympathy for unvaccinated covidiots in this camp.

Too bad he’s wasting an ICU bed.

There are other vaccinated people who need the bed more than him.

[mercuryblues]

25. Why? They don't give a rat's ass about me and others

who need medical care. They are too busy exercising their right to spread covid. A disease that kills.

[BlackSkimmer]

26. I know, there's actually a thread on the front page right now calling out Laura Ingraham for

applauding Covid.

I don’t get this, at all.

[Caliman73]

35. I agree.

I think that it is normal to express anger at the selfishness of people not getting vaccinated and spreading misinformation, but celebrating the suffering is not a good thing. I completely understand the emotion. We are all tired of this pandemic, we may all know of people who have died or have been severely affected. We may have had it ourselves and are struggling with the effects. We naturally want to lash out at people who defiantly continue to spread the virus and misinformation. I agree however, that most of those people who are hospitalized are also victims but are too blind to see that.

[SKKY]

45. And that's my point. I see them as victims who have been preyed upon...

...to believe and propagate a horrible, horrible lie. I have an aunt who is the same way. She got COVID, nearly died, but then swore had it not been for TFG promoting Hydroxychloriquin, she wouldn't be alive. The problem with that is she was never given Hydroxychloriquin. It's sad to me.

[Caliman73]

49. When people invest emotionally, it is often very difficult to change their minds.

The best con artists, operate emotionally. You can't really "hook" someone rationally. You can convince them, but then what you said has to be accurate and the predictions need to pan out. When you hook someone emotionally, they basically give themselves over to you.

I have relatives who are the same way, and they accuse me or "your side" of being the ones who are brainwashed.

Truly sad.

[Vinca]

20. Say hello to Herman for us. Hucky ducky!

[JanMichael]

21. Maybe he wanted to be on a vent to lose that last 10 pounds

I've heard the last 10 or the hardest the last five have been hardest for me.

Cocaine and speed would probably be safer. Good luck dipshit!!

[LymphocyteLover]

29. LMAO!

[scardycat]

22. I support your decision too..(snark) N/T

[LymphocyteLover]

28. UNREAL

[Demovictory9]

30. lol ok

[BlackSkimmer]

31. Sure, someone about to be put on a vent is posting.

Come on.

[Siwsan]

32. People are posting videos of themselves, not long before they are vented

And if he didn't post it, whoever did post it on his account is about a vile as one can get. IMHO, of course.

[BlackSkimmer]

33. I've been in the hospital before surgery. You don't have your phone when they're prepping you.

It’s just not something you’d do even if you had your phone.

By the time you’re being put on a ventilator, you’d be essentially at death’s door. Why don’t people think critically about this kind of thing?

[Siwsan]

34. I have no idea how long before he was vented that he posted it. That's not the point

He was sick enough to be admitted to the hospital and was being treated for Covid when he posted it. He is now on a vent. One would think just being HOSITALIZED and having to be on oxygen (which he was) would be enough to perhaps convince someone they should have been vented.

[BlackSkimmer]

36. Believe what you want.

I cannot even imagine being so sick to be in intensive care, yet still searching for memes on the internet.

[Siwsan]

37. Well, looking at the sequence of his posts, that's what's happened

People are posting a lot from the unit. I don't get it and it's not something I would do or understand, but I'm really not making stuff up.

[BlackSkimmer]

38. I don't think YOU are making stuff up.

But someone is.

I’m tired of all this. People are going to believe what they want. Have at it.

[Siwsan]

39. Sorry to have caused you angst

[BlackSkimmer]

40. Not at all.

I’m glad you’ve never had experience in intensive care in a hospital.

Be glad of that.

I’ve had that experience. All the best.

[Siwsan]

41. I'm one of the lucky ones, I guess. Only ever had one inpatient surgery, when I was 4.

And only 2 outpatient procedures - foot and eye. But, seriously, there are a number of self posted videos, out there, of people in the Covid unit, describing what they are going through. It's scary. (I guess I consider the Covid unit to be an ICU unit.) And people posting updates until they no longer can.

[BlackSkimmer]

42. Mmm.

Ok.

[Siwsan]

44. I'd send you links to the sites, but that seems a bit pointless

[BlackSkimmer]

47. I'm done with this.

Trust me. I don’t care what some random sites say. I don’t believe everything I see on the internet. Ymmv.

But believe me, if you’re in intensive care, you are not posting. If you’re even conscious, you’re hoping to stay alive. You’re not making political statements.

Good lord. I give up.

[Siwsan]

48. Ok. I hope you have a restful evening

That's certainly my plan.

[Emile]

43. Adis happy trails idiot!
