Oscar De La Hoya Hospitalized With Breakthrough COVID-19
E! Online ^ | 9/3/21

Posted on 09/03/2021 4:21:50 PM PDT by Tipllub

Oscar De La Hoya was knocked out by COVID-19, despite being fully vaccinated against the virus.

On Sept. 3, the boxer shared the news in a social media video posted from his hospital bed. "What are the chances of me getting COVID?" he expressed, appearing visibly exhausted. "I've been taking care of myself and this really, really kicked my ass."

De La Hoya, 48, will no longer compete in a comeback match against former UFC Champion Vitor Belfort, which was scheduled for Sept. 11 at Los Angeles' Staples Center. It would have marked the athlete's first time competing professionally since 2008.

In a separate message, De La Hoya told his supporters, "Wanted you to hear directly from me that despite being fully vaccinated, I have contracted Covid and am not going to be able to fight next weekend. Preparing for this comeback has been everything to me over the last months, & I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support."

Why a 48 y/o with 9 figures in the bank is fighting is beyond me.
He probably wore himself down training so hard, then got Covid, now in the hospital...

A lot of these guys manage to spend more than they make, no matter how much they make. Women, cars, houses, money to the entourage. So they have to keep at it.

Uhh even money since you got a vaccine that seems to attract the virus even more! If you took care of yourself you would have focused on building up your natural immunity through D3, zinc and Vit C.

The word, “rare” is missing from the title.

Great fighter, but his loss to Pacquiao, man, was that really thirteen years ago? No need to see him fight anymore. I do wish him the best, though.

I don’t think he’s one of them. I think his current net worth is around 200 million or so dollars.
He owns Golden Boy Promotions which hosts/puts on high quality boxing matches.

Breakthrough cases sure seem to be happening to a LOT of professional athletes and rock bands.

Hmmmm....maybe these shots just don’t like sports or music.

Joe Rogan got cured of COVID after taking vitamin supplements and Ivermectin. We are being played folks. I take a D3 supplement, Ginseng, and a multi-vitamin daily. I also cut down on drinking (well, except for tonight because I’m ON MOFO VACATION!!) and started hitting the gym. Is COVID-19 a scam?

I though the shots were supposed to keep the jabbed out of the hospital.

A childhood friend of mine got a terrible case, even though she was fully jabbed.

She was about to go to the ER, per her family doc’s ā€œadviceā€ (this doc would not prescribe any treatment meds.

Luckily, she went to Urgent Care and was prescribed Ivermectin.

Get well, soon, Oscar.

Joe Rogan also had that mono bla bla bla thing that trump had and Florida is giving out for free. Just saying he had more than Ivermectin and vitamins. That said Im a big Ivermectin believer and hope it gets a worldwide embrace.

ā€œDespite being Vaccinatedā€?

Or ā€œBecause of Vaccinationā€?

Yep, apparently he’s worth about 200 million and has been a successful promoter and businessman since he retired. I’m sure he has a skeletons in the closet but he always seem to be a pretty decent person back in his Hay Day.
