Family urges vaccine after 28-year-old who said COVID was a hoax dies
NY Post ^ | 07/26/2021 | Jackie Salo

A 28-year-old man in Alabama who believed COVID-19 was a “hoax” has died from the virus — and now his family is urging people to get the vaccine.

Curt Carpenter lost his battle with the bug after spending 51 days in the intensive care unit at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, the Montgomery Advertiser reported.

“I know that if Curt had survived, he would have made sure everyone knew how serious this disease is, and how important the vaccine is,” his mom, Christy Carpenter, told the newspaper.

Christy said her son did not take the threat of the pandemic seriously before he was hospitalized with the virus in March.

The media is nothing but predictable. There’s no “news” nowadays. It’s all about pushing a narrative, and it’s become almost boring how easy it is to predict.

There’s a pic out there I should have saved, that I saw in the last couple of days, with screen grabs of 20-30 various versions of this sort of story. There’s a JournoList V.2.0 push on this right now, has to be.

Possibly because younger people make a much larger percentage of this “Delta wave”?

Annecdotal news


This is like using the case of a single person that died after getting the vax as reason to stop all vaccinations.

Only a lot more than one person has died after getting the vaccine, right?

And given how corrupt the CDC is will the public ever know the truth?

Given how corrupt the CDC is, will the public ever know how many actually died from COVID? Unlikely, given that LAST YEAR if you died, no matter the cause of death, and you tested positive for COVID...or any other virus in your body, whether it was COVID or not but they told you it was COVID anyway....your death was listed as a COVID death. And interestingly enough, in NYS no autopsies were conducted because of COVID.

Now, the complete opposite is the standard. Have a heart attack and die, but also positive for COVID, cause of death is.......drumroll, please.....HEART ATTACK.

Indeed, they’re all overweight. Thus they certainly are candidates for other health issues not yet discovered or aware of. I would guess he was obese actually and breathing is generally an issue without covid.

Still it’s sad when people think it’s their duty to tell others to get the shot when they have a family member die as this. At 28 he determined he didn’t want the shot...that’s old enough to determine ones own health decisions.

Covid 19 can kill, but most are fine. The vaccines can kill but most who take them are fine (at least in the short term, long term is unknown). And one can take a vaccine and still get killed by civid.

Life is full of tons of stuff that has some chance of killing us. We are mortal. Does not mean those who exaggerate the dangers in order to sell a particular mitigation are justified.

Any OTHER health problems?, overweight?, smoker?, drug use?, vitamin D deficient (like around 20% of us)?,zinc deficient?, ivermectin treated?, etc., etc., SO MANY VARIABLES.
