RIP Doug Ericksen

still no word on where he was when he died on Friday. background

[goodnesswins]

"although his cause of death was not immediately confirmed on Saturday....

[MinorityRepublican]

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.

[proust]

Looks like he picked up covid in El Salvador.

Has twitter started gloating yet?

[DJ MacWoW]

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.

52 is way too young...RIP Sen Ericksen

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?

[John Leland 1789]

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

[Theoria]

El Salvador? Cocaine and hookers?

[MarMema]

I don’t understand. What happened to his immune system?

[353FMG]

Did he request Ivermectin treatment while in hospital?

[MarMema]

He was in a Fla hospital on the road to recovery.

COVID is clearly bad. But dying of COVID after vaccination sucks!

Dear Lord! I had worked with Doug since 1999 on rail issues, both freight and passenger. He was the “legislative shepherd” who guided our proposal for reactivating freight rail lines in the Cascade foothills through the legislature. I had hoped he would run for governor.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

If his case was like most, he was unable to get early treatment. He’d have been better off in India.

RIP.

Very sad situation. He was one of the good guys in the legislature. 🙁

We obviously would all be better off if there was aggressive early outpatient treatment. So many options which can be used in combination. Ivermectin HCQ, Luvoxamine, Nebulized steroid, monoclonal Abs, otc Zn, Quercetin, C, D3, melatonin, Benadryl with lactoferrin.

Getting to herd immunity mostly with natural adaptive immunity and aggressive treatment would have made the most sense. But we know that government only wants what’s good for vaccine makers and as the pretext to get exert more control. The FDA is more concerned with interdicting Ivermectin than filling out FOiA requests, CDC want to ignore adverse effects. In France they actually made Ivermectin prescription when it used to be OTC before Covid.
