Jeff Bridges Opens Up About Near-Death Illness: “Covid Made My Cancer Look Like Nothing”
Deadline ^ | May 26, 2022 | Greg Evans

Posted on 05/26/2022 10:21:51 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Jeff Bridges is opening up about his serious bout with Covid, saying he came “pretty close to dying” and noting that “Covid made my cancer look like nothing.”

In an interview with People magazine, Bridges describes struggling for breath and being in pain during the illness, saying, “I couldn’t even roll over in bed without calling the nurse to help me with the oxygen.”

The 72-year-old Bridges contracted Covid in January of last year shortly after beginning chemotherapy for lymphoma. His cancer is now in remission.

At the time of his health crisis, Bridges was in production on the FX thriller series The Old Man, which halted production during his treatment.

In the People interview, Bridges says, “The doctors kept telling me, ‘Jeff, you’ve got to fight. You’re not fighting.’ I was in surrender mode. I was ready to go. I was dancing with my mortality.”

Also in the article, Bridges’ wife Susan Geston says she did not know if her husband would recover, and she instructed doctors to “Save his life. No matter what you have to do.”

The Old Man debuts June 16.

How would you know?

They can’t even distinguish the two.

But you seem to relish swallowing hysterical propaganda.

no that did not happen at the same rate it does with the regular flu.

Bull excrement.

There were 38,000,000 flu cases the winter of 2019-2020.

There were only 1,800 flu cases the winter of 2020-2021.

That's because hospitals got paid $13,000 for every Fauci/China biological warfare virus diagnosis, and $39,000 for every biological warfare virus patient they slapped on a ventilator and pumped full of Remdesivir to kill them.

Hospitals are rolling in dough from all the money they made on the contract killings.

The university hospital in my college town is building multiple new wings.

You’re clueless and devoted entirely to narrative you just won’t let go of - like a good ol’ leftist.

Have a nice day and see you on another thread.

I had a friend who told me (with a straight face) that the reason there were virtually no flu cases the winter of 2020-21 was “because everyone was wearing masks”. SMH

Go get vaccinated or something.

Hopefully you’ll hit the adverse-effects jackpot this time.

I did the same, now it comes out that the clot shot has a side effect for C patients, it makes it worse faster. If you have cancer and get the shots, be warned. Getting sick is better than speeding up the process of cancer.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Perhaps that is why my wife is having problems. I had cancer too, but I never got the shot. She got 2 shots.

Kitsap County True Breakthrough Report 5-7-22

You have to dig deep for the actual numbers. As the vaxxed get more cases, hospitalizations and deaths we can assume they will quit reporting. There seems to be a very high number of reinfections with the vaxxed.

The Kitsap Public Districts does not present the actual numbers but uses a convoluted “per 100K” analysis that shows a reduced number giving the impression the vaccines are working. They purposely do not publish the deaths and hospitalization actual numbers. They are hiding the data. KPHD is basically a marketing arm for Big Pharma. We need to know how much money they are getting per injection.

My point in doing this is not some contest. It is to show that there is no need for a vaccine mandate. The vaccine is not working. If they want to force us to wear a useless mask, that is one thing, but to have a mandate for a ineffective vaccine is a crime.

Cases 4/6/22 –5/7/22

Overall – 1540 Vaxxed 58%

You can see that most of the cases are the vaxxed.
How can that be? This is not a vaccine!

12-29194 Vaxxed Cases 46%
30-49 260 Vaxxed Cases 57%
50-60 260 Vaxxed Cases 66%
70+ 178 Vaxxed Cases 66%

Overall Weekly Cases ending 5/7/2022
You think with this few numbers it might be time to call it a day!

337 vaxxed cases 56%

Here are the webpages.

WSDOH finally updated its Breakthrough information

Mar-Apr 2022
Kitsap County

695 vaxxed cases 67%

Sharing real data that our county should report

This is from my sister, she follows events closely as she is an administrator with a Hospital in that County... It is hard to understand it, but I had it explained via a phone call so I could understand...

Sorry, have to disagree with you on that one. Masks collect germs, so the more you wear the mask the more you are continually breathing in these germs. Masks are not healthy to wear at all, and the have absolutely no affect at all in stopping viruses, as the viruses are very small compared to the gaps in masks.

I'll have to read the rest late. I mean I scanned it, but didn't really absorb it. I get up early, and I go to bed early. 🙂
