An anti-masker who believed the COVID-19 crisis was just a “political” stunt issued an emotional plea to skeptics from his hospital bed — after becoming seriously ill with the virus.
In a Facebook video shared by a pal on Monday, Chuck Stacey gasps for breath as he admits he was wrong about the pandemic that’s killed 1.8 million globally.
“I didn’t wear a mask. I should’ve. I didn’t,” Stacey says with oxygen tubes in his nose. “I believed this was just the flu, that it was all going to go away, that it was political. I didn’t think a mask would help.”

Sorry. Meant NYP
Chainlink fences don’t stop mosquitoes do they?
yawn
The mask would not have kept him from getting sick, and if his immune system is such that he had this kind of reaction, it would have happened anyways, sooner or later.
Too bad dems are politicizing HCQ and other prophylactic treatments.
He could have gotten something to help much earlier in the illness.
These flimsy cloth and loose masks do nothing to keep out micron sized virus particles around large groups of people in large groceries and other big box gathering sites ....
For me it’s an N-95 mask and go to the store early before the crowds arrive, if at all. Most of the time I order and pick them up.
People are fooling themselves with the cutsey designer masks.
And all the “maskers” that died before him?
GTH, Lia — no one thinks the virus is fake.
Just OBEY THE STATE and you won’t die like this poor slob who didn’t.
Zinc, quercitin and ivermectin would have been helpful if used before he was hospitalized with low O2 blood saturation levels.
Eastern Virginia Medical Center has had a treatment protocol since March.
From the video, he appears to be a good bit overweight. Obesity is a very significant contributing factor for more severe presentations of covid and worse outcomes.
Y'all who are overweight would be better served by losing some weight and getting some sun (vitamin D) then obsessing over if other people are wearing disgusting contaminated submission muzzles.
From the article. Nothing is 100% on this virus and even if I would’ve wore a mask I could’ve still gotten it. But .....
Hmm. Pleades with folks to wear a mask that he admits won’t protect hi. From the virus? Not understanding his logic.
Masks didn’t help my mother-in-law. She is in a nursing home that requires masks AND face shields, and she still got it. In fact, the facility went from 0% cases one week to more than half of the staff and residents testing positive the next week. In other words, once the virus makes its way in, no masks will prevent its spread. My MIL is fine. She had mild symptoms for 2 days and that was it. Four older residents died, but a nurse told us they were “in very bad shape to begin with.” She said a regular flu takes out patients like that each year.
There have been sensationalized stories like this about a dozen times. A dozen times out of the MILLIONS that recover. If this is the new standard then we need to do this for everything. “Don’t keep peanuts in your house because you might go in to anaphylactic shock.”. “Don’t drive because you might get in an accident.”. “Obey your government with absolute conviction because you might make a bad choice.”.
My husband and I both got covid, a few weeks before, I had begun a protocol of vitamin d, vitamin c, vitamin b and also melotinin. My husband was very sick m, fever 9 days, extreme fatigue, respiratory issues. I however had fatigue, mild cough.
.....Chainlink fences don’t stop mosquitoes do they?.....
You haven’t seen the mosquitos in my neck of the woods
“Not intended for medical use” = we’re not going to pay for medical level testing, tracking and liabilty even if they are exactly the same as the medical masks we produced yesterday. Or maybe they’re Chinese-made swiss cheese with ear straps that looks like a surgical mask.
Have there been photos of the overflowing ICUs at hospitals and have they been using those refrigerated trucks to hold dead bodies? I keep hearing these things week after week since last March but I never really seen the evidence.
One last thing, I really wish next time a covid administration official is doing a presser, someone asks what the current flu numbers are.
Is covid a hoax? Of course not. But is it ‘the flu’? in my world, my circle of family, friends, co-workers, and customers...no, it’s not the flu...because in my experience the flu is worse. I know family and friends that have been hospitalized with the flu and have died.
I know plenty of people that have contracted covid and didn’t know they had it until a test told them they did. You always know when you have the flu.
LOL. The article is out there. You think ignoring it is better?
You probably will survive since you can’t go in anywhere without a mask. Not a bad strategy really.
Are they made in China?
I refuse to wear a mask made in the same country the virus came from.
Masks used in my hospital filters down to .6 micron. Those fashionable bed sheet masks do not. I bet China getting richer from those also.
