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.

At this point, anyone who thinks the virus is a hoax is an absolute moron. A friend of mine built an entire covid annex at a local hospital and it was FILLED with sick people. He helped move them in and was building makeshift ICU areas. One thing he said back then, you see someone go on a vent, you know they’re dead.
You don’t need to be afraid of life, but you also can’t walk around with a tinfoil hat on either.
These anecdotal “stories” are coming out of the woodwork, kinda like all the actors coming out saying they were abused when the #metoo campaign kicked off.
I am not anti-vaccine in any way, shape or form.
But I am digging in my heels and becoming virulently obstinate at the concept of a government that feels it can coerce people or encourage private businesses to mandate it instead of the government) into having to make that choice to continue to work or travel. This is damned unconstitutional.
What underlying conditions did he have?
Before his mother lectures us we need to
know more about his medical condition
and how his doctor treated him early on.
How many cases have there been of people who got the vaccine, who then pushed the vaccine, and then who died of it? How many of those cases became stories that the media then pushed?
Curt thought COVID was a hoax and did not take it seriously, until he could not breathe without the oxygen. The same day he was put on the ventilator, he told us, ‘This is not a hoax, this is real,’” Christy said.
She said Curt was overweight but had no other pre-existing conditions that would put him at increased risk for a serious case of the virus.
Feel horrible for Curt and the family. Truly do.
But.....Curt was a tad bit more than overweight. And given that obesity is/was one of the main players in the seriousness of the virus, I’m thinking he was trending in the wrong direction. Did he have diabetes that wasn’t diagnosed?
And, didn’t it come out that ventilators were not the magic wand they were initially thought to be when this thing hit last year? I thought they found out that it was oxygen that was needed? She doesn’t mention any treatments that the kid did or didn’t receive.
Isn’t that doctor talking about all her patients wishing they had the vaccine, but it being too late, also from Alabama?
I know I might be sounding like an uncaring a$$, not trying to be, but there’s more to this. I mean, when you have families that have to take a hospital to court to force them to administer drugs like Ivermectin, sh*t is wrong.....
Looks like a Porker
Judging by the picture of his 3 chins, I’d say overweight, possibly asthmatic, and no doubt a few more co-morbidities.
Very good.
One has to wonder about a medical approach that seems to completely ignore the clinical approach to treating a condition, and only offers a vaccine, masks, and quarantining as ways to deal with it.
I’m with you. The point is that what makes this story special is that the guy was apparently an anti-vaxxer.
My attitude is, “so?”
Looked at the article and spotted the fat faces immediately although they took efforts to only do head shots of the family .... looked like they cropped the pictures. They mentioned that Curt was overweight but didn’t say by how much and insinuated that he didn’t have any other issues (that they knew of). Typical Marxist State Media trick to pick one out of million to perpetuate their lie.
The word hoax gets used sloppily when discussing covid. Is covid real? Of course. Are there not an epic number of “hoaxes” associated with it? Yes indeed.
HOAX:
An act intended to deceive or trick.
n.
Something that has been established or accepted by fraudulent means.
transitive verb
To deceive or cheat by using a hoax.
Has anyone said COVID-19 is a hoax?
They've said "quarantine sick people, not healthy ones."
They've asked "what is the morbidity rate by age group?"
They've asked "why expose healthy people to an experimental treatment?"
They've said "this came from a lab in Wuhan China" despite the denials by medical and government "professionals".
They've said, "I want to do my research. I don't want to be the research."
They've said, "If I was exposed to COVID and overcame it. I don't need an experimental treatment."
They've said, "This experimental treatment isn't a vaccine."
They've asked, "Why has the government denied that Mr. Fauxi bypassed U.S. law banning gain-of-function experiments?"
They've said "this is a miracle disease since there were no influenza deaths in 2020." Because the CDC lied about the tests and about the results.
They said "masks don't work." Because they don't.
As for your friend who built an entire covid annex at a local hospital that was filled with sick people. My friend oversaw a similar ward that they took down because at most they had six people at one time. They didn't need the Javitts center in New York. They didn't need the Mercy ships. They didn't need the Army medical hospitals nor the charity hospitals in New York Central Park.
Zactly.
Need some sort of ‘Like’ or ‘Thumbs Up’ option on here.
Like Fauci saying you don't need masks, so that the PPE could be gobbled up by hospitals.
This was built during the first wave in NJ. I think they added 1,500 beds which were full at one point. This would have been between Apr-July 2020 - around that time frame.
He wasn’t allowed to come home. They had living quarters built for them. The facility is there still. Some are “normal” ICU’s now but others stand at the ready from what I know. (albeit, I don’t get updated)
