...The cofounder of a Hawaiian group protesting vaccine mandates and COVID-19 rules is now calling people to end the cause after being hospitalized with the disease himself.

Chris Wikoff, 66, said he no longer wanted to participate in the group and asked for his name to be removed from the members' list, Hawaii News Now reported Monday."I want to mind my own business and isolate," he told Hawaii News Now.

Wikoff cofounded the Aloha Freedom Coalition in October 2020 in response to a lockdown order..."We were told the COVID virus was not that deadly, it was nothing more than a little flu," he told Hawaii News Now. "Well, I can tell you: it's more than the little flu."

Wikoff's change of position came after he was hospitalized after catching COVID-19 in August, per Hawaii News Now. "I was afraid I was going to die," he told the outlet.

He urged people to stop participating in the protests and rallies his group was organizing...

there’s his name right there at your link:

“The company has 4 principals on record. The principals are Allerstorfer-Meek, Hella, Gary Cordery, David Hioki, and Chris Wikoff.”

A very simple thing for me and mine. We will not take anything, knowingly, that uses fetal tissue. And if we have had the virus, and survived, no need of a vaxx, or mask. I call that common sense.

flu deaths are almost all in multiple morbidity patients, usually elderly nursing home residents with less than one year life expectancy (85%), cancer or immunocompromised are next, with little kids with immunity issues completing profile.

Funny how the media keeps pulling these “anti-vaxxers who nearly die from the virus and now are all pro-vax” no-names that nobody’s ever heard of out of their collective wazoo.

My point has nothing to do with the spelling of the surname (Wyckoff/Wikoff). It is the combination of a Jewish surname with a Christian first name. I suppose it happens. I’ve just never seen “Christopher” as the first name of someone with a Jewish last name. That’s all.

Doubt it.

However, the reply certainly brought out the trolls.

They seem to pull these out of their backdoors when convenient. Wonder who is funding them?

Maybe he didn’t die but he did lose his soul.

I think most people are fine with people getting the vaccine. Good idea to get one if you’re old, overweight, and male, like this guy. It’s the totalitarianism that has been unleashed that’s the issue. This guy seems totally irrational. He went from against it all, to now being cool with everything, including the totalitarianism. And even now says he’ll get that vaccine even though he just recovered from the virus, what’s the point of the vaccine now? Sounds like an irrational idiot to me.

I had a flu death in my family that was a teenager. I am not convinced it was really the flu but that was the diagnosis. Death happened with a few days from pneumonia and sepsis. No known immune issues. Coma happened 4 days after first flu symptom. Death later that night.

Apparently we live in Red/Blue cocoons where there either is or is not a virus? People die in droves every year of flu, virus, pneumonia. It is just recently that we are drawing attention to it and counting many other causes as
C-19 virus deaths.

Respiratory Syncytial (clotting) Virus, a corona type virus, has been around since 1884 and cannot be distinguished from what is currently called Corona Virus. If untreated in first ten days, it results in pneumonia. In 2019 drug companies were working on a patent vaccine for it. But then the identical twin Corona Virus was invented. Coincidence?

Drug companies blamed the 1918 Spanish Flu on Spain because it was a “superstitious” Catholic country, but it began in Kansas and deaths were caused by the treatment, not the flu per se. So, the Wuhan Lab theory of C-19 is conceivably a Psy Ops meant to blame evil Communist China. Even now, 96% of those who get C-19 at age 75 still survive. And if one takes Potassium Chloride and drinks olive oil, so as to stay hydrated, one is likely to escape C-19.

There is a real virus out there. Probably Respiratory Syncytial Virus. Masks won’t deter it but may speed it. Once one has it, Monoclonal Antibodies can knock it down.

And another pro vac propagandist enters the gray. Amazingly similar to a typical propaganda post by Berlin_freeper. Just saying.

that’s so sad Rummy. 4 days to coma? wow. That must have been hard for your whole family. It’s always hard when kids die. Sorry for your loss.

Or maybe someone who caught Covid and needed medical help to survive it.

Near death can do that to you. He needs to step back and think whether he now has a natural immunity to it.

Just like covid. A few young, apparently healthy people succumb from both diseases as well. When people say “just like the flu” it is only because it...is.

Stuff happens.

There is even a thread ressurrected a few times called ‘flu bros’: an echo chamber to convince each other it’s nothing - 99.9999% survivable, no sweat.

I keep hearing an overall IFR of 0.2%. So your attempt at hyperbole is probably more accurate than the rest of your hysterical posts.
