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.

More anecdotal fear-mongering stories.

Thanks for my weekly dose of CNN propaganda. LMAO

The overweight icu woman looked 65, not 44.

“77 cases reported per 100,000“. Surprised there are no dead bodies clogging the street. /s

Hospitals have more than a year to prepare for any “surge.”

I took a look at Missouri's John Hopkins covid dashboard. Although covid is running hot in the state, there doesn't appear to a critical shortage of beds state wide. I can see there being a shortage of beds in Branson since they have an in influx of tourists and vacationers this time of year. It is also likely they are a regional healthcare center which includes Arkansas.

I wonder if they noticed an increase of little brown guys walking around Osage Beach...?

Perhaps Medicaid patients. Hospitals strangely reach capacity more quickly.
In a side note, I’ve told family that if ever I am injured or fall ill at tha Lake, they are to get me to Columbia or St Louis without fail.

Make sure and get your booster and your booster to the booster and your booster to the booster to the booster to the booster....

“to keep us safe”....

Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Compare this with last year. I recall stories from last year of people with covid in the hospital dying alone because no visitors were allowed. Now the hospital lets the press in for an interview and a photo shoot. I think this story is BS.

Exactly. Why is Daryl telling everyone he is going to run to the nearest vax station and take the jab after he recovers from Covid?

Is Daryl a unique human being who doesn’t get natural immunity after getting Covid, or is this a designated propaganda piece?

It could be working. There was a surge of vaccinations over the weekend. At this rate, they could get to herd.

It would certainly apply to post 30 but I thought you might also benefit from the post with the info so I directed it your way.

Dunno how much it will work. It will probably protect him some afterward or boost the weak, GOP-like immune response that this virus elicits in most people.

I have a good friend who had COVID twice. While I don’t think he got tested, he had the characteristic loss of taste and smell both times that lasted for long periods of time, rather than just during the acute illness. He got vaccinated afterward.

Amy Tarkanian, a contributor at Newsmax, got COVID. She then got the shots, then she got COVID again, a breakthrough case. I have no idea if there was any ADE involved in her second case.

Coronavirus PING!

Oh, so you think these experimental shots are the key to herd immunity?

Funny, that. Since WHO has NOW been caught changing THEIR definition of herd immunity.....just in time for......shot rollout.....🤔

I'm 100% sure that 100% of Black evangelicals have gotten the shot, since the rate of vaccination among Black people, with Tuskegee still fresh in their minds, is so stellar.* /sarc

*After Tuskegee, I can't blame them for being more wary of the shot than other people.

Jabs for all, including dogs, cats, deer, dead people, trees, rocks, etc because the experimental jabs are the key to world harmony. /s

Now he's immune and NOW he gets the vax to ruin his good natural immunity.

Stupid.
