An Oklahoma teacher was hospitalized after catching COVID-19, despite taking three doses of the Pfizer vaccine, including the booster shot.
Ted Hartley, a math teacher from Oklahoma, was sent into hospital requiring oxygen for days earlier this month after catching COVID-19. Hartley was judged to be a high risk for infection due to his profession and the fact he is a kidney transplant recipient. “We just felt gutted that after 18 months of focusing on staying well and not catching this that he still caught it,” Regina Hartley, his wife, confirmed. “”They did a chest X-ray and saw that was in double pneumonia. They did a COVID test, and it came back positive.”
Hartley received three shots of the Pfizer vaccine, including a booster shot, and yet caught COVID-19 regardless, with his wife believing that he caught it from his school. She confirmed that Hartley asked the school board, which was not identified, to require students to wear masks in his classroom, fearing his students and others were at risk.
The teacher’s wife told KFOR that “unvaccinated people and those who refuse to wear masks” put people like her husband “in jeopardy,” saying that despite receiving three shots of the vaccine, “he could catch it again because that’s how it is for immunocompromised people,” arguing that others needed to get vaccinated and wear masks “for other people if not yourself.” (READ MORE: Israel Now Forces Citizens To Get ‘Booster’ Jabs Every Six Months Or Lose Vaccine Passport)
However, as National File previously reported, a recent study revealed that people who are “fully vaccinated” carry a staggering 251 times the normal viral load of COVID-19. Experts are concerned that this may pose a risk to those who have not received the COVID-19 vaccine, and it also seems likely these increased viral loads could result in more so-called “breakthrough” cases of those who have been vaccinated contracting COVID-19.
Rochelle Walensky, the Director of the Center for Disease Control, also recently admitted that the effectiveness of the vaccines are “waning,” especially against the Delta and other variants. “Reports from our international colleagues, including Israel, suggest increased risk of severe disease amongst those vaccinated early,” Walensky confirmed.
I wonder how many people have used their last breath to say “...I wish I hadn’t gotten those death vaccines.....”
Hey there Iceman, I appreciate humor as much as the next person, but the situation, I think, isn’t appropriate for it.
I am immunosuppressed because earlier this year I had a liver transplant. I have had all three shots(Moderna) and this does concern me. I kind of do know what this guy is going thru because I also have COPD. Let me tell you not being able to breathe is NO fun. So, I gotta watch it.
BUT, in spite of everything, I feel great, the best I’ve felt in years, with God’s Blessings and help, I plan on staying that way. It’s a fine line sometimes, that can easily be crossed with humor without meaning anything bad. I know, I’ve crossed it myself with gallows humor from time to time. People like myself who have had chronic health problems for years , sometimes we deal with these problems with humor and “healthy” people don’t “get” it.
I’ve gone on long enough about this. Just so you know, no hard feelings 🙂
Have a good one.
Immuno compromised….he is a kidney transplant patient
More susceptible than almost anyone else
Being on oxygen is not the same as being intubated
And they want to force me to get the inoculation or lose my job.
Congratulations for your transplant and best wishes for continued success and good health! 🙏🏻
Sorry, but I fail to see the humor in the world battling a deadly pandemic created by Chinese genetic engineering.
Same thing happened to a friend of mine. 2 shots and a booster.
Fortunately she received the monoclonal antibodies fairly quickly after symptoms and a test. She felt much better the next day She said they gave her a series of 6 injections in the abdomen.
I thought they were given by infusion.
I thought all students had to be vaxxed in order to go to school?
So he got from a vaxxed student or teacher.
This isn’t Fb. WTH is wrong with you?
He was teaching remotely last year. Then he made the decision to come back into the classroom even knowing he was immunocompromised as well as overweight. Instead of blaming Fauci and the entire CDC and NIH conglomerate for producing a vaccine that apparently doesn’t work, his wife feels the need to blame his students and employer for his health status. She deserves any ridicule she gets.
I’m surprised her dr allowed her to work in that capacity if she’s immune compromised by taking transplant meds.
For a similar reasons, My dr woukd not release me to my job (public) and I had to medically retire.
Did your medical decision-making for a diagnosis of overweight include the transplanted kidney location and steroid effect? I don’t want to second guess your medical degree. 🤔
The poor guy is on immunosuppressant medications and is just trying not to die during a pandemic and you think it is funny he got sick?
maybe an immunocompromised man should not be working in a virus factory full of carriers without being n95 masked and gloved with a sanitizer spray on his belt.
Correct, which is why prevention attempts are fundamentally futile and simply prolong the development of natural herd immunity. What we need to focus on is Covid treatment protocols, not pretending we can forever evade it. This is where the medical establishment has fatally destroyed its public credibility. Covid is the only disease in modern history where if you get it your standard-issue doctor will tell you "I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do. Go home and hope you don't die."
The best people can hope for is that it mutates into a less virulent form, which is what viruses normally do.
Wrong. As pandemics go, Covid is and always was exceptionally weak and mild. Moreover, we know exactly what the risk factors are for severe cases and most of these are easily preventable:
Finally, when you do get it, if you're in a high-risk group or start developing any more serious symptoms (e.g., fever) find yourself a doctor who will get you on a real outpatient treatment protocol immediately. If your doctor won't, contact America's Frontline Doctors to get the help you need. Then fire that quack you've been seeing since they obviously don't have your actual health in mind.
Seven......no ten! A month...
I had it last December. It was the worst bug i've ever experienced in my life. I would not at all describe it as "weak and mild". For awhile there, I didn't know if I would survive it. I know several people who died from it.
I also caught it again a month ago. Chills and Fever, two days very sick, but I got over it much more quickly this time around, and it never got as bad as it did the first time.
Low levels of Vitamin D are strongly correlated with the worst outcomes. Learn about this and if you're not taking a Vitamin D supplement, do so. It's one of the cheapest supplements you can buy. Vitamin C, Quercetin, and Zinc are also beneficial. If you're grossly overweight, consider this as a motivational cue to get off the couch and to eat a healthier diet.
Finally, when you do get it, if you're in a high-risk group or start developing any more serious symptoms (e.g., fever) find yourself a doctor who will get you on a real outpatient treatment protocol immediately. If your doctor won't, contact America's Frontline Doctors to get the help you need. Then fire that quack you've been seeing since they obviously don't have your actual health in mind.
I'm pretty sure this is all good advice.
The vaccine is the joke and the third dose is the punchline.
Of course I'm not laughing at a sick person. I'm betting that this person has also been denied alternative treatments by either the hospital, the attending doctors or both.
You were fortunate that you got through it, and I'm glad for that. But I stand by my statement. Compared to Smallpox, the infamous "Spanish Flu" that swept the world after WW I, or the "Black Death" of the 14th century, Covid is a walk in the park with survival rates in the 95%+ range even for "at risk" populations.
I didn't go to a doctor. Knowing it was a virus, I realized there was nothing they could do about it. The immune system has to eliminate viruses, and though they make viral inhibitors and such, it was very unlikely that I would be given anything like that.

Well this is true, but there is a lot of distance between this thing and mild and meek. Mild and meek is like a head cold. This thing was rough.
Of course my Son threw it off like it was nothing. Fever and vomiting one day, and feeling alright the next. For me it was a week of very sick chills and fever, wondering if this was going to kill me, followed by a week of being very weak, and several months before I felt normal again.
Second time was just two days, and never got as bad as the first go round. Felt normal two weeks later.
