Daryl Barker was passionately against a COVID-19 vaccination, and so were his relatives. Then 10 of them got sick and Barker, at just 31, ended up in a Missouri intensive care unit fighting for his life.

... Sohal said nearly everyone hospitalized is unvaccinated. Patients have said they worried about vaccine side effects, or felt the vaccines were rushed out took quickly.

Daryl and Billie Barker both plan to get vaccinated once he recovers.

Daryl said his wife and son are why he’s fighting so hard.

“Antibodies to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) decline during the weeks after infection, in some cases falling below the threshold for seropositivity within 2 months, according to a national study of health care workers.”

I wonder if Daryl and his other brother Daryl aren’t actors 🤔

Right? C’mon, who really says things like this?

“I was strongly against getting the vaccine,” Barker said through labored breathing. “Just because we’re a strong conservative family.”

I'm calling BS on the whole article.

With the Branson hospital maxed out with COVID-19 patients, doctors contacted a dozen hospitals in all corners of the state. All were at capacity. Lake Regional was nearly full, too,

Here is the Missouri COVID19 Healthcare dashboard. As of today, while numbers are high, they are still below the fall/winter rise and sustained heights. Hospitalization capacity is 27%, ICU Capacity is 16%, and ventilator capacity is 67%.

Something is rotten in Branson.

And there’s no way on earth that anyone can know that the vax was effective in keeping them from being sicker, or would have kept them out of the ICU.

Considering that claim is from the sources with the most to lose if the vaxxes bomb, and that since they know they don’t even work as vaccines, and who have lied to us with their ever changing narrative since the very beginning of this debacle, there is simply ZERO reason to believe or trust them.

They have to come up with SOME reason for people to take their experimental treatment and there’s too much a conflict of interest for me to take their claims at face value.

“The Red Cross is testing all blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. As part of this effort. Standard whole blood donations made at any Red Cross blood drive or blood donation center are critical in this effort. Donors who have had COVID-19 are urged to donate whole blood as soon as they’re fully recovered and eligible to give. plasma from whole blood donations that test positive for COVID-19 antibodies may be processed into a convalescent plasma product to help patients battling this virus.”

The Red Cross might have data that shows how long natural immunity lasts.

I knew this one guy, at this one place, and he got really sick!
And then there were these people, at another place, and they got really sick too!
See, you gotta inject yourself with an experimental vaccine! See?

Wow, reads almost like a Hollywood script. One could be forgiven for thinking the whole thing was made up. Or "based on a true story" which is generally an admission of the same thing.

I mean seriously, when something meshes so perfectly into the leftist agenda and messaging, doesn't that set off alarm bells with anyone else?
