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."

I’ve “seen” you as well.
I’m not condemning those who choose cost/benefit analysis with respect to the vaccine. I’m not taking it.
Same side Homie.
You are, statistically, an opinion of one.
The deaths reported to VAERS from this vaccine is more than all the other 30 years combined, is what the guy said.
The graph seems to make a good picture of that happenstance.
That’s my boy...
All anti-covid-vaxxers think their own racial group is being targeted for extinction. All over the world, everyone thinks the people in charge are out to get them.
This is the neurotic conspiracy stuff that gives all right-wingers a bad name.
I think you are accusing the Dr. with zero evidence of malfeasance.
And I think you are asking the wrong person those questions.
I think you should go to his twitter account and ask him.
He wasn't offered the vax in January, as several Texas patriots on this thread have shown.
In the fog of war, people can say anything.
But....
“What proof do YOU have that this guy was eligible?”
**************************************************
Well, YOU are the person who debunked the allegation, advanced by a series of posters in this thread, that in Texas you had to be age 65 or over in to get the shot in January. Did he have a serious comorbidity that would make him eligible for the vaccine starting December 29th? I don’t know but he apparently thought he did but decided against the shot — to his later regret.
“ What’s your opinion on the use of ivermectin for prevention/treatment of this virus?”
——————————————————————————-
It is often pointed out that the vaccines available have not received FDA approval, therefore we should not get vaccinated.
However Ivermectin for the treatment of Covid-19 also has Not received FDA approval and in fact the FDA warned against its use.
So that door swings both ways, apparently.
I got vaccinated in late April, I also have and would have no problem using Ivermectin or any other known effective treatments like Plaquenil.
My advice to everyone. Do as you see fit based on your needs.
I know. Math is hard.
~~~~~~~~~~
You do seem to be struggling with math. 95% effective does NOT mean 5% ineffective. At least not when it comes to Covid-19 "vaccines"
The CDC, Fauci and Pharma companies encourage us to believe they are using Absolute Risk calculations (like yours) when in fact they all know they are using Relative risk. HUGE difference.
For both vaccinated and unvaccinated, the risk of becoming ill is less than 1% in these trials, which tend to test persons 18 - 55 or young for 2 weeks to 2 months. So the 'efficacy' numbers are only valid for that duration. After the trial ends, people continue to get sick and the 'efficacy' rate decreases.
As long as the FD
“Of all the people who didn’t get the jab, how many needed a double lung transplant? Asking for a statistician friend.”
It really doesn’t matter. what matters is how many lungs are available for transplant. The rest of those needing lungs are as good as dead.
YOU are the one claiming he was eligible, Einstein.
I’m asking for what proof you have of that.
🙃
Damn skippy.
We're not afraid to talk about anything. We're not Sheepy McSheepertons afraid of our own shadows.
You?
After testing positive for COVID-19 in late January, Garza’s health deteriorated rapidly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes. Because he was denied Ivermectin, HCQ and other treatment protocols. His lungs could have been saved if the CDC permitted doctors to treat sick people. But, instead they sent him home until he was sick enough to require ventilation - that is the Fauci/CDC protocol.
He doesn’t need toxic ‘vaccine’ injections every six months either - he can fill his lungs with clots if he does, not to mention the cardiac arrests, strokes, paralysis etc.
How funny.
I've been saying that exact same thing about you vax-bots since day one.
But in my case, its true. You? Not so much.
You guys embarrass this forum with your misuse of vocabulary and statistics.
“ Did you even listen to that Video?
I think you are accusing the Dr. with zero evidence of malfeasance.
And I think you are asking the wrong person those questions.

What day did that Podcast come out? Tuesday?
When did the vaccines roll out? December of 2020.
I’m not accusing the Doc of anything. It’s the calendar that’s convicting him.
He waited 6 months before doing a Podcast for something so important as this?
The evidence is a 6 MONTH TIME FRAME.
I don’t have Twitter any longer.
Perhaps you can ask him for us. I’m sure he has a good reason for not saying anything until now……….
“…He wasn’t offered the vax in January, as several Texas patriots on this thread have shown.

**********************************************************
See Jane Long’s post 74 above where she debunked the allegations that you had to be over age 65 to get the vaccine in January. If you were 16 or older and had a medical condition that put you at risk of severe COVID-19, you were eligible for the vaccine in Texas starting December 29, 2020.
LOL...they don’t even get the sarcastic irony.
Too perfect.
Sorry I’m drinking beer and watching the US Open, but from a quick scan this was most important. “It remains unknown however whether the impact of COVID-19 can be detected in milder cases” Early detection and treatments are important. Vaccine pushers ignore both early detection and therapeutics.
