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."

Prove that he 'apparently thought he did'.
Do you ever get tired of making stuff up?
What am I not paying attention to?

Bullshiite. Your fear has emboldened the communist bastards that are taking over our country. Grow a pair of balls a quit pissing yourself. Weβre in an existential fight against leftists, not coughing viruses
You guys embarrass this forum with use of doctored statistics and the manipulation of vocabulary for your evil vax agenda and the towing of the derp government line.
So there.

To the conspiracies.
The Q drops.
The vaccines changing your DNA in a reptile.
To bodies being stacked up by 6 months time, oops one year, naw, 3-5 years, even 10 years!
Black helicopters.
People being paid by the Chicoms spreading false information right here on FR.
Just a sample of things youβre failing to pay attention to.

Also....what a coinydink that Mr Garza had his lung transplant at HOUSTON METHODIST.....one of, if NOT the largest hospital systems pushing these shots.
Same hospital who demanded all employees be given the experimental shot, or be fired.
FTA....
...Houston Methodist continues to see patients with severe illness from COVID-19, many of whom have not been vaccinated, Huang said. It’s difficult to say for sure, but Huang believes that had Garza gotten the vaccine when he was able to, “it’s likely that we would have never gotten to this point.”...

Read 'Old Man's War' for more on this subject.
Genetic engineered soldiers are not outside the realm of possibility and the idea lives in 'serious' people's minds, and you can rest assured there are mad scientists (like Fauci) working on it as we speak.
No doubt about it.
Awesome quote, and oh so true.
But are you aware it applies to YOU and your fellow vax-bots?
Were you also aware that you people are close cousins to the Mask Karen tribe?

I'm not scared.
Yea, but GE. Did you know he's a male nurse?
Its best we listen to him on all things covid and vax because...medical community.
Ha. Another quote that applies to you vaxtards.
I like how you say you're in 'synchrony' with eugenists (sic: proper term 'eugenicist') while lambasting and dismissing those who are speaking out against your precious poison vax.
You people will simply say ANYTHING.
Male Nurse - not smart enough to get into Med. School and become a real Doctor?
Unwilling to see problems cause he knows he couldn’t figure out what to do about them?
Snort - Lord save the patients cause that type sure wouldn’t.
Disregard the LYING, vax-pushing n00b troll.
His lying mouth writes checks that REALITY can’t cash.
He claimed I lied about a family friend who passed on the night of his first shot.
Disgusting, is right.
Thanks Bagster!!
πYep. Didn’t take long to figure that out.
Yay. Somebody finally asked.
Do a little study up on Bill Gates and his derp friends and what they think about the world population. You know, the Bill Gates who interestingly used his computer money to take over the world's 'health' industry. Why? Because he loves people?
I can't take you to school, you must learn for yourself in order for you to absorb the information and make it your own. It is the way of the Q.
The info is out there and easy to get to. Ya just gotta free yourself from mental slavery. It will require you to use your brain and 'connect the dots'.
ββ¦From the first sentence of article....he didnβt think he needed it. What makes YOU think he needed it?β
********************************************************************
Well, as a Monday morning quarterback, considering the results of his COVID-19 infection, Iβd definitely say he would have been far better off had he been vaccinated in early January.
Winning an argument against a nut doesn’t matter to the nut!
But everyone else sees.
