South Carolina Tea Party Leader In Intensive Care With Covid-19
fits news ^ | August 4, 2021 | will folks

Posted on 08/05/2021 8:14:48 AM PDT by RaceBannon

ne of South Carolina’s most well-known conservative activists is in an intensive care unit in the South Carolina Upstate battling the coronavirus pandemic. Pressley Stutts – leader of the Greenville Tea Party and a recently elected S.C. Republican Party (SCGOP) executive committeeman – has been hospitalized for the last five days, according to his social media.

His wife has also been hospitalized with Covid-19, but is reportedly on her way home.

“DETERMINED TO BEAT THIS!” Stutts posted on Facebook. “Under strict orders not to speak; need to save my breath. Can’t really return messages, but know that I deeply appreciate your prayers! I love each and every one of you!”

“I am fighting hard to stay off of a ventilator,” Stutts added in another Facebook post.

Sources close to Stutts confirmed that neither the activist nor his wife have received their Covid-19 vaccinations.

“If after all of your prayerful and informed research, you need to get a shot, by all means, feel free to do so, but NEVER demand that others be required to do so,” Stutts wrote in announcing his admittance to the hospital.

I concur with that assessment … although having had Covid-19 twice (and having gotten both of my shots since then), I have encouraged my readers to get vaccinated.

Still, I believe adamantly that vaccination is a personal choice … despite ongoing efforts by some to mandate it.

In fact, I can’t believe we are even debating the issue as citizens of what is supposed to be a free country …

Stutts bills himself as an arch-conservative – and has become a leader of the far right during the ongoing SCGOP civil war. Still, he has endorsed his fair share of establishment “Republican” politicians in the past – including U.S. senator Lindsey Graham.

Given Stutts’ current situation, though, his endorsements, politics and ideological moorings do not matter … just as they should not factor into our thoughts on anyone in his position. When people are dealing with illnesses, personal tragedies or other hardships, all of us should check our views at the door and offer up our prayers and best wishes for better days. We should also offer our help.

Accordingly, I would invite all of my readers to join me in wishing Stutts and his wife a fast, full recovery … and the same goes for everyone dealing with the latest round of this virus.

Another success for the CHICOM AGENTS who want to influence American Patriots to not get the highly effective vaccination against the Chinese virus.

A little late now. Good luck and full speed ahead.

Highly effective my A$$! Explain the people who are experiencing serious side effects from this crap, and the breakthrough cases that are being underreported? Go push your crap at DU!

I find it ironic that prominent Democrats aren’t mentioned when they are infected and under ICU care at hospitals. The MSM narrative is that only Conservatives get hospitalized with the Wuhan Virus.

If you are not getting the "vax", then get an rx for ivermectin if you ever get symptoms and then have quercetin, Vit D and Zinc for "near symptoms" or when you are in a high risk exposure or to take 2-3 times a week. Suggestion, buy the OTC items from a name brand.

Refer to this excellent summary.

That’s fine. But, while you do that, I’m praying for the Stutts family’s recovery.

Now, not be overly paranoid, will politicised medical personal try hard to make sure he does not get out of the hospital alive?

I worry because the future of OTC vitamins and supplements are in the Infrastructure bill. The bill will limit/end them for sale OTC and will only allow them to be prescribed by a doctor.

They are trying to use the logical fallacy called "false cause," trying to make correlation and causation the same, like "The sun came up after the rooster crowed, therefore the rooster made the sun come up."

He didn't get vaccinated. And then he got covid, so that's what caused it.

Another one is called "appeal to authority." Biden and the "experts" say that vaccination protects everybody, so it must be not only true, but also virtuous.

Disclaimer: I was vaccinated, but it's dishonest to claim that the vaccine is 100% effective. I have a friend who just had a triple bypass operation, and didn't want to get vaccinated because he didn't want to "add a new variable to the equation."

He needs to take Lenzilumab. ASAP. If someone knows him or his family, please get this onfo to him to use it. It has no side effects. It has been FDA emergency use for a long time. It is the only cure to the Cytokine Storm and we have known that since 2015. It is waiting to be the first pharmaceutical to get FDA approval but it looks like they are delaying as best they can. The FDA, CDC and the NIH dont know what to do with this one. The results are too good and there are no side effects.

Thanks for the ping RaceBannon. All SC FReepers, please pray for Presley's quick recovery from COVID.

As an aside I wonder if he got any post-symptom help from Ivermectin or hydrochloroquine?

Jeez, they’re at that again? Do you know (or have a link to) the wording in the bill?

Yup. News liars do that a lot.

Wish him the best.

Looks like he’s recently been fighting with the establishment/NeverTrumper wing of the SC GOP.....

The article says he’s fighting to stay off the ventilator. I got word about an hour ago that he is now on the ventilator.
