@OleFastball get vaccinated!

Only a few years older than my son. Really sad. Prayers for his loved ones.

You are not a rebel by not being vaccinated - YOU ARE AN IDIOT! Get vaccinated - it's one of many ways to love your neighbor.

 

[Larry_Williams]

Just freaking brutal.

I’m an idiot because I don’t wanna get vaccinated? Three people in my family have gotten the vaccine and we’re perfectly healthy beforehand and since then all three have been in amd out of the hospital with different Heath issues. To think someone is calling someone an idiot over a vaccine that hasn’t even been around a year yet and nobody knows what they will do to you. Am I also an idiot for not getting the flu shot? You sir can go **** your self.

Its ok to be ignorant on something but taking a strong stance like yourself while being ignorant makes you look like a fool.

Please get the vaccine everyone and wear masks when asked. Stories like these are avoidable.

 

[PCHOI]

So sad. Saw this on FootballScoop and the part that got to me was that he was supposed to get married very soon. Prayers up

You know for a fact that the vaccine caused the medical issues that resulted in the family members being hospitalized?

 

[Larry_Williams]

Stories like this are piling up, and it never gets less horrible to see that it takes an actual death of a loved one for people to start taking this seriously.

 

[JAMCRACKER99]

Only a few years older than my son. Really sad. Prayers for his loved ones.

And my son's age. Just far too young to die. My heart breaks for all his family and friends.

 

[BuzzAroundTiger]

No. No he doesn't. And others out there are using this as a crutch as well. As someone who deals in close quarters with the public often and having people around me constantly test positive and having to quarantine, the vax has been a career and life saver for me.

I still say to each their own. Do what you feel you have to do to keep you and yours safe. There is no 100% correct answer.

 

[TigerBo413]

You know for a fact that the vaccine caused the medical issues that resulted in the family members being hospitalized?

You know for a fact that they weren’t? But yes I do since 2 outta 3 drive trucks and have to have a physical yearly. And both had physicals done a month amd then 2 months before the vaccine.

Yes I do actually. You can go read my post directly above this one. I agree there is no correct answer but calling people an idiot for not getting it isn’t the way to be.

Is it hard for you to understand that this is a personal decision?

Wrong! You are the fool. Your ignorance is astounding...

Spoiler

good news for the antivaxers, it’s not as bad as 1/6, yeah!!! But it’s better taking a shot than all these people that are dying on the regular right now. And clogging up the hospitals unnecessarily

 

[Joe Cobb]

I am very sorry to read of the passing of this young man.

Is there an announcement of whether or not he was vaccinated? Does anyone know if he had any pre-existing conditions? Also, vaccinated people are dying from COVID as well. Didn't know if anyone knew that.

@Larry_Williams ....it hits home for me. My brother is in rehab because of a stroke after escaping death with blood lots. His doctor has told my youngest brother that's at Anderson Hospital he shouldn't have lived. Now .. after the stroke(and possibly a second) he looks great but you can barely understand a word he says.

My wife has been extremely sick with. Covid. The only saving grace is SHE WAS VACCINATED. And I am still recuperating from Covid. Thank God I WAS VACCINATED. I can't fathom the stupid argument a moron has with himself when you observe first hand and read all the negatives of NOT be vaccinated. It's got to be along the lines of Abbott and Costello's Whose on First. SMH.

When you're alone with Covid in a hospital and right before they put you out and on a respirator, wtf will you say? I wish I HAD BEEN VACCINATED. Too late.

 

[Joe Cobb]

Vax Rates

Interesting, the death rates between vaccination folks and unvaccinated folks is both falling. Which is good.

 

[padtigers]

Calling people stupid or ignorant is not going to make anyone get vaccinated. I would also add that some people may be hesitant because early on elected officials said they would not take the shot since it was under the former POTUS. I am sorry to say but that puts doubt in my mind. I just do not think name calling or shaming is going to help the situation from either angle.

I did a little dive into that. Looks like he might have been a cancer survivor (was undergoing chemo in 2018)

I am vaccinated. Yes, it helps.

Masks do not help. Hospitalization rates are up 854% in Hawaii over the last 2 months, They have had the longest mask mandates in the nation. Please explain why we should be required to wear masks?

This is a virus we just simply have to learn to live with and the vulnerable need to take extra precaution. Leave the rest of us alone.

 

[harristeeter]

Hate it for the mans family and future family.

But good grief I wish people would get ALL the information instead of cherry picking stats. Glad this will be over in a few weeks. (Per cdc and people I trust in the healthcare industry)

 

[padtigers]

If that is the case I would have to imagine he was vaccinated. I mean he falls right into the group that would have needed it the most.

Trump is getting booed for telling his own supporters to get vaccinated. You can’t fix stupid.

• Trump was vaccinated against COVID-19 in January 2021, but the US public didn't learn about it until March.

Donald Trump booed at Alabama rally after encouraging his supporters to get vaccinated against COVID-19, video shows

At the "Save America" rally in Cullman, Alabama, former President Donald Trump encouraged his supporters to "take the vaccines."

Man I am sorry for all the struggle you and your family have endured.

I am close friends with people who work in both the Oconee and Easley ICUs and the strain this is putting on them emotionally is immense. Just so many stories of unvaccinated people wishing they had another chance.

Incredibly less often than those that are vaccinated. Once boosters are being administered you’ll likely see the already low numbers of hospitalized and vaccinated drop significantly

I agree name calling is not helping. Listening to any elected official (either way) on a medical issue is also not helping.

I wish people just listened to what their primary physician said either way. More often than not it would be what Is correct for the individual patient.

The common goal needs to be knocking this down to a level people don’t often die or need to be hospitalized. it has to be a COMMON GOAL which seems increasingly difficult to land on nowadays.

IMO it is a personal choice,but I will say the science behind the mRNA vaccines is newer but has been around prior to COVID.

Same here. My MIL has never been sick in her life and is now having complications with fluid buildup in her lungs, after being vaccinated earlier this year. She’s been in and out of the hospital for 2 months now.

In the Facebook post his wife made above she's pleading with people to get vaccinated and use masks. So I'm guessing he wasn't.

If a business requires you to a wear a mask then yeah wear a mask. Pretty simple.

Wait people never got sick before having a vaccine? You might have cracked the case...

I was not listening to their advice. It was more of the fact that their comments made me feel like it was way too political. I may be wrong but it made me feel that way. They hated then. We have a change in Administration and that same vaccine is now being pushed by those same people. I trust DC as a whole less than I trust gas station Sushi.

so you think he wasn't?

Actually, not really the hospitals are filling up with unvaccinated. Over 90% of the hospitalizations are unvaccinated.

 

[GoodWord28]

so you think he wasn't?

Unfortunately, with the number of deaths we’ve seen, along with the follow up tweets and posts, any death without a vaccine status means the person wasn’t vaccinated.
