Lynnette Hardaway, one-half of Diamond and Silk, was hospitalized with COVID during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Hardaway, better known as Diamond, is a republican widely known for being one of Donald Trumps most loyal supporters during his campaign and presidency. On Saturday, her sister Rochelle Richardson, aka Silk, logged into Twitter to request prayers for her sister who is fighting the good fight against COVID.
Anyone who believes in the power of prayer please pray for Diamond, Richardson wrote on her sisters Twitter page to update fans.

In April 2020, Twitter temporarily locked the viral duos accounts after they were encouraging followers to go outside to help their immune system fight against COVID. This was a violation of the social media platform at the time because it was misinformation about the deadly disease.

I guess the hydroxychloroquine failed her.

(15,090 posts)I have an acquaintance who doesnt do masks or vaccinations and is always throwing around proof that these things dont work. He caught a mild case of covid and held this up as proof that covid wasnt serious. Then his wife died of covid and he claimed she only died because of some undiagnosed preexisting condition and it was the doctors fault for not diagnosing it earlier.

(1,495 posts)I think people actually have to watch the horrible suffering death of a loved one from Covid before they take this deadly virus seriously.
I did take the virus seriously before my dad died of Covid. He took it seriously too and was fully vaccinated/boosted and always wore a good mask. Unfortunately, he got injured and had to be hospitalized and caught Covid in the hospital from some person who obviously wasn't taking precautions.
This virus is relentless when it wants to kill you. It's the worst death you can imagine.
People think it's not going to kill them or their loved ones and are running around without a mask. It's horrifying. A lot of people have had a false sense of security since vaccinations came out.

she's just going to have to rely on old fashioned actual medical care.

(7,143 posts)But, Diamond, now that you're sick, forget all this elite lib science and medical knowledge stuff, amirite? Do your research on Facebook, and follow the pearls of wisdom posted in memes by someone's Uncle Billy Wayne Bubba.
Remember, all you need to get well is Blood of Jesus & Prayers to The Great Sky Wizard. Also, don't question why the same cruel asshole of a deity that caused or allowed you to become so sick with Covid is supposed to turn around and save you now...

(14,921 posts)getting vaccinated, adopting commonsense masking and distancing, and using her platform to educate the public and encourage them to listen to science and get vaccinated. Her doctors and nurses are no doubt fighting hard on her behalf, but she is frankly just passively using up resources. I don't wish her any ill, but having fucked around, she seems to be finding out. Her sister doesn't even have the grace to acknowledge that she brought this on herself and encourage anyone who values her opinion to learn from this and get vaccinated.

I wish people would get their heads on straight and take this disease seriously.
If she gets sick enough but avoids death, the best outcome would be for her to become a strong advocate for vaccines.
Wishful thinking, I know.
