My guess is that he was unvaccinated. He rolled the dice and he wasn’t so lucky. Your risk goes up significantly after the age of 50.

Bingo. And as asked….where the heck was he?

ElSalvador? I wouldn’t want to catch anything there, much less stay there to suffer! 3rd world hellhole, leads to disease. Regardless if COVID or not.

The Olympian has a headline: What we know about WA state Sen. Doug Ericksen after COVID treatment, return to US, but it's subscription only so I can't read it.

My 30s cousin has it now. Triple vaxxed with her booster taken last month.

If the vax actually protected people from Covid, you might be right.

But since it barely makes a dent in survival rates if the side effects don’t kill you first, then it’s basically useless and you have not made a point.

That’s what it says.

Also that it is unclear whether he managed to leave ElS. Medevac to FL was planned.

Nothing like a little doublespeak to muddy the water.

Article says he died after battling COVID to give the impression that was his cause of death. Then the next paragraph says cause of death is unknown.

The media used to be a bunch conniving propogandists but now they are just plain soulless and evil minions of Satan.

Suicide by hanging and drowning in a bathtub have been labeled COVID deaths for the last 24 months. Did they stuff a ventilator down his throat or fill him with remdesivir? I aint buying it. Seattle Times? Friend of Trump? Anti Vaxxer? MMM?

That implies he made to FL.

Hoever, if this was just the last few days, while he was Dxed last month….I’m hearing monoclonal antibodies have to be early on.

What? No early treatment? He could not have gotten Ivermectin from the day he tested positive, or earlier? Really?
