An anti-vax podcaster has reportedly contracted COVID-19 and now is hospitalized on a ventilator

Source: Business Insider

Anti-vax podcaster Doug Kuzma has contracted the coronavirus and is now hooked up to a ventilator at a Virginia hospital, according to attorney Lin Wood and his podcast network. 

Wood, who pushed false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against former President Donald Trump and who has ties to the QAnon conspiracy theory movement, said in a Telegram message on Friday that Kuzma contracted COVID-19 after attending the right-wing "ReAwaken America" event in Dallas earlier this month. 

"Doug has taken a turn for the worse," Wood wrote. "His lungs are not responding to treatment."

"Doug needs heavy heavy prayers," a Frog News Telegram said, adding that he's unconscious and unable to respond to calls or messages.

In big indoor gatherings.

And when a bunch of them get sick after the gatherings, they figure somebody purposely infected them with anthrax or something.

How can you argue with that?

They have lots of his FB stuff - much of which has now been scrubbed. But, his page is still open and people are not being kind.

I was recently trying to remember what that site was called. I'm there now, reading the stuff on him and found this gem that one of his cohorts posted:



Of course you were "targeted by biological agents," you wretched nit! They're called viruses!

I don't usually mainline schadenfreude over the latest Herman Cain Award recipient, but when they're promoting dangerous lies like this morAn, my empathy meter goes to undetectable levels.

I don't know who most of those people are, but I see the list includes Roger Stone, Eric Trump, Alex Jones, numerous people with the title "Pastor" and super hard core antivaxxers Andrew Wakefield and RFK Jr. Oh, and the My Pilow guy!

unvaxxed, unmasked, yelling loudly, breathing shared air.

Yup, definitely not the global pandemic we've had for the last 2 years. Must be some engineered special anthrax that targets conservative patriots who are unvaccinated for COVID and shows up negative on anthrax tests. Deep state is sneaky like that.
