...The cofounder of a Hawaiian group protesting vaccine mandates and COVID-19 rules is now calling people to end the cause after being hospitalized with the disease himself.

Chris Wikoff, 66, said he no longer wanted to participate in the group and asked for his name to be removed from the members' list, Hawaii News Now reported Monday."I want to mind my own business and isolate," he told Hawaii News Now.

Wikoff cofounded the Aloha Freedom Coalition in October 2020 in response to a lockdown order..."We were told the COVID virus was not that deadly, it was nothing more than a little flu," he told Hawaii News Now. "Well, I can tell you: it's more than the little flu."

Wikoff's change of position came after he was hospitalized after catching COVID-19 in August, per Hawaii News Now. "I was afraid I was going to die," he told the outlet.

He urged people to stop participating in the protests and rallies his group was organizing...

If you or a family member end up in the hospital on max oxygen from this bioweapon will you still claim it is just like the flu?

It's never a good idea to get injected with something nobody will tell you about, something the government is essentially bribing people to get.

Your life is worth a donut to them.

A free donut every day as it turns out.

This DR had a reaction.

I had a reaction to a different vaccine that i still have.

Of course no one has a clue as to why.

Vaccines of all kinds can do weird things to the body

If only there were 1/10th as many of these stories as there are of those who die or are “compromised” by the jabs - then you might be onto something.

if you take the deaths and divide by hospitalizations I think it’s 1.6% down from 1.8% - in the US. If the hospitalizations are inflated as some think, it wouldn’t change the death number so that would make the IFR higher. Seasonal flu is 0.06=0.08%.

nothing hysterical, just a guy who got sick, got treated, saw an ICU ward up close and changed his mind about his beliefs. Doesn’t make him a bad person. Just a person making his own choices.

The general public is quite unaware that tens of thousands of Americans die from the flu every year.

Waving a protest sign or a vaccine card doesn’t protect you.

I’d like to know what he did to strengthen his immune system??

I’m going to take a wild guess that Hella is a first name and they should have used semi-colons since there was a hypenated name? no clue otherwise

I am not saying it is literally the flu virus. I am saying that it’s symptoms, death rate, etc are similar to a bad strain of the flu.

I think it is highly likely that it is some escaped research that never should have been conducted in the first place.

However, that appraisal has nothing to do with my family members or their symptoms, since there are several viruses that can put you in that exact situation.

Not a bad person, but not someone who thinks logically either. As a result, I am generally not moved at all by these stories. They don’t convey any useful information that isn’t already known from looking at the data.

Thank you for snapping some back to reality. I fully understand that adverse effects are rare in relation to the millions of vaccine doses rendered, but I am not willing to take that risk. I will take the risk of getting Covid with a 99.97% recovery. Yes, if one has comorbidities they should think seriously about the vax, but otherwise no. Additionally, no one - absolutely no one - knows the long-term effects of the vaccine. More cancers? More dementia?

If you are logical you will. People die from flu, my husband was intubated for 2 weeks from flu in 2014. I wouldn’t touch this vax with a 10 foot pole.
