Joshua Garza had a chance to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in January but he passed it up, thinking he didn't really need it.
Now, the 43-year-old Texan is hoping to inspire others to get the shot after he became so ill following his COVID-19 diagnosis that he needed a rare double lung transplant to survive.
"COVID ended up attacking my lungs," Garza, of Sugarland, told ABC News.
After testing positive for COVID-19 in late January, Garza's health deteriorated rapidly. On Feb. 2, when he ended up falling while trying to walk, his wife called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. He was ultimately transferred to Houston Methodist, where he was put on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine to pump and oxygenate his blood for him.
"It was quick, it was within three weeks, the lungs were already shot," said Garza, who works in the oil and gas industry.
Garza was put on the lung transplant list, and on April 13, successfully underwent surgery. He spent several more weeks recovering and rehabilitating to regain his strength after two months on life support before being released from the hospital on May 27...
"It's much easier to get the vaccine than to go through something like this," Huang said of Garza's case. "He's extremely lucky. Most people in this situation don't make it to the transplant. You can't count on this outcome."
For Garza, he's sharing his story in hopes of helping prevent others from experiencing what we went through.
"If I knew what I know now," he said, "I would have definitely went through with the vaccination."

Talk about “How to Lie with Statistics”!
Your starting point is the start of the vaccines, and the line is an upward increase in deaths with no comparisons of any kind and no acceleration as the vaccine became more available. And you can make that completely numerical line as steep as you like, you know, just by how you space out the x axis.
Only the statistically illiterate will have anything to look at here.
Thank you Dr. Fauci. Thank you, Dr. Fauci. Thank you Dr. Fauci. Thank you, Paine Webber.
“ Because we know that “scientists” and “journalists” are all as pure as the driven snow...
I mean, if you can’t trust “scientists” and “journalists” who CAN you trust?”
———————————————————————————
Are you referring to the scientist and doctors and podcast from anti-Covid-vaccine people?
The Twitter dudes with bombshell findings.
The famous and lovely Dr. Tenpenny? Who lost her medical license and is now practicing “natural medicine” ( don’t need a license for that)?
In other words, your side of the issue has their doctors and media, the other side had theirs.
It’s all about whom does one believe.
***********************************************************************************
How about Dr. Malone, who invented the mRNA technology? He is not an aniti-vaxxer.

Or Dr. Yeadon, who also is not an anti-vaxer?

It was close to June Teenth so lungs in da hood are steal one get one. Duh.
And you know this how? Did Fauci tell you?
Let's ask the 6 thousand plus (that they admit to) dead vaxxers what they think.
I'll schedule an appointment.
So many outrages and ignorant crap has happened - it’s unbelievable.
Cuomo - trying to blame his sending people with CV back into nursing homes on instructions from Washington - any idiot would know NOT to do that - and there were empty ships and tents available-totally unnecessary.
Someone needs to post ten threads (with pics) of the dying and dead vaxxers to counteract this vax agent's propaganda.
What’s your opinion on the use of ivermectin for prevention/treatment of this virus?
I don’t believe it. They’re still trying to scare people.
The vaccine doesn’t stop people from getting covid anyways.
Well, that’s one person’s take on it. Kinda anecdotal though.
You’re aware the vaccine was eligible to people under 50 (with co-morbidities) at the end of January… right?
~~~~~~~~~
Not in Texas.
…………………..
Correct.
***************************************
Yep, the end of January was incorrect for Texas. As you posted, in Texas, “people age 16+ with a health condition that increases risk of severe COVID-19 illness” were eligible for vaccination beginning December 29, 2020. Such people did not have to wait until the end of January.
Hey, I know that guy.
Why did Dr. Malone wait so long to speak on this topic? Vaccines have been happening since December. I know he said he warned the FDA and sent them packets, etc. But why didn’t he speak months ago?
If he is all about preserving human life, why didn’t he write something in a Journal? Make his own podcast? That question bugs me.
Was the good Doctor waiting for or demanding a fee?
Here’s his website…… https://www.rwmalonemd.com/
He now consults for fees. I can’t imagine that would be the reason for his delay in telling the public.
But I think it’s a legitimate question.
He waited until 160-170 Million Americans were fully vaccinated?!?!?
That’s like someone knowing about the 9/11 attacks and not saying a peep until it was done.
Disgusting.
Your misuse of the vocabulary doesn’t help to make your case, I’m afraid.
Yep.
At the nursing home, my Mom is in, one resident who was sent out to the local hospital for an unrelated to COVID procedure returned with an undiagnosed case of COVID. After being COVID-free for months, this one resident infected 121 residents killing 35 along with 68 staff (zero deaths) in spite of isolation and full PPE. Masks my arse.
Ducks quack.
Wood floats in water. A duck floats in water. If the woman weighs the same as a duck, then she is made of wood. ... Therefore, the woman is a troll.
What proof do YOU have that this guy was eligible?
(Pats troll on head.)
Careful, GW. She might follow you home. That's exactly how I got my grey 'Sh*t Kitty'.
“ BS. The Vax wasn’t out in feb.”
——————————————————
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were being administered in December 2020.
That’s when Joe Biden got vaccinated.
Look it up.
