Lot if assumptions, that cannot be proven, in this article and your response.

1. That he actually had COVID-19. Current tests(PCR), as admitted by the CDC, cannot tell the difference between the common every-day Flu and COVID-19.
2. Was he treated with Ivermectin or HCQ? If not, why not since it has been proven to knock down not only COVID-19 but also the Flu.
3. When the tested him via PCR how many cycles did they use? If, as many hospitals have done, in an effort to get paid by the federal gov, the cycles used were above 30, then the test gives 80%+ false positives.

Finally, as history has shown within Scamdemic, the usage of respirators is an almost certain death sentence.

Hundreds of thousands of 45 year olds die every year? In the US? You really believe that?

Worldwide. It's not too long ago when life expectancy worldwide was less than 50 years.

Look the guy fits the profile. He's fat. Or was fat. And if you're fat, Covid is dangerous.

If you are overweight and obese, you can drop dead anytime from any number of diseases.
This story sounds like propaganda to spread FUD.
I am not going to believe some doctor pushing far left Dem talking points and propaganda. They have been lying g from the get go.

It makes no sense to be dismissive of the small risk of Covid to a healthy person but paranoid about the even smaller risk of complications with the Vax. In the big picture, most do it because anything that inhibits the spread protects the most vulnerable like the elderly and keeps people out of the hospital. And morbidly obese like this guy. If you have risk factors, logic is clearly on the side of getting vaxxed at this point, whatever nit picking at the margins people want to do out of vanity, contrarianism.

Too much of this anti-vax attitude is knee jerk opposition to the "other side."

Yeah, I mean I really hated Trump so I chose not to get the "vaccine".

Whatever dude.

Odds are high a few of the zealots on this board will be in the same boat. Denial and cognitive dissonance are tough to overcome. A simple shot can prevent an agonizing and deadly illness, and yet….

If you are fat, at any age, you are like 10X more likely to die of Covid, or the flu, or any number of diseases.

Just sayin’.

Texas.

I wonder if the hundreds of thousands of “migrants” the idiot in the WH let into TX, many of whom are infected, might have a connection to this tradgedy.

It turns out that being enormously fat is bad for your health. Who knew?

This is tragic. A couple of generations back, someone his size would have been in the circus. Now, he wouldn’t stand out at a ballgame. Your body is temple of the Lord; no need to let it become a cathedral.

I’ve noticed that when a Conservative or Republican gets the Wuhan Virus and has dire symptoms or even death, the MSM reports it ridiculously. If a Democrat or liberal has the same the MSM is quiet or lets it go unreported or the story is buried.

The life expectancy averages of yesteryear are heavily weighted by infant mortality which was very high in the olden days. Once you made it out of childhood, people have generally always lived into their 60s.

*** most do it because anything that inhibits the spread protects the most vulnerable like the elderly and keeps people out of the hospital. ***

I notice you aren’t sharing your trusted sources of wisdom. You’re dismissive of ADE without even addressing it.

But you have managed to adopt the “do it for all of our safety” line.

In other words, it’s your opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.

" . . . whatever nit picking at the margins people want to do out of vanity, contrarianism."

Or because of their examination of the facts and of testimony by experts who warn of potential serious, long-term effects of the vaccines, and who can explain the scientific basis for their concerns.

Correct. But if YOUR agenda is to spread Fear Porn and propaganda like the MSM is doing here - then have at it.

Just know - The DUmp is a better fit for you.

The life expectancy in yesteryear was heavily influenced by the state of medical knowledge which was lacking in lots of ways, the lack of healthcare to billions of people etc etc.
It affected most humans.

You’re right. Life expectancy has gone up significantly. Want to take a wild guess what one of the reasons for that is?

When I was trained as a medic, we were told that six days on a ventilator = death.

Media always hypes rare cases of relatively young and supposedly healthy people while there is nary a word about vackseen injuries.
