Calls worldwide to pray for the recovery of the lion of Catholic orthodoxy

Cardinal Burke was admitted to the hospital after he tested positive for COVID-19 last week. In a tweet he posted on his twitter account, the 73-year-old cardinal asked the faithful to pray for him and invited them to trust in Divine Providence:.

.....SNIP.....

If you aren’t astute enough to find out how to personally care for yourself and you leave it to medical experts to do so, you wind up like Cardinal Burke.

He was originally admitted for a severe sinus infection. Probably got Covid in the hospital. Also, if this is not only a hospital, but an Italian hospital, he’s going to need double prayers.

He has my prayers! Unfortunately he is old, he is morbidly obese, he probably has various severe medical problems, and his doctors are following medical protocols that are ineffective and cause more harm than good in many if not most cases. The pneumonia that is killing him was most likely caught in the hospital, and the ventilators are a double edged sword which in almost all cases cause permanent lung damage. Not to mention that the forces of darkness would love to use him as an example of what happens to people who oppose the all knowing government.

But was the Cardinal vaccinated?
That’s what is most important to
the Biden Administration.

“Cardinal Raymond Burke has been placed on a ventilator.”

The kiss of death!

Sad. One of the GOOD guys (as far as I know).

DETAILS! WHERE ARE THE DETAILS?

1. Was he jabbed/vaccinated? Once/twice? Which jab/vaccination? Dosage? If so, when?

2. Did he have symptoms?

3. If so, were they before or after being tested positive?

4. If before, HOW LONG BEFORE?

5. If symptomatic, how long before seeking medical treatment?

6. What, if any, was that medical treatment/advice?

7. Were any therapeutics, (Hydroxychloroquine + zinc, Quercetin + zinc, Ivermectin + zinc, Xlear nasal spray, monoclonal antibodies (bamlanivimab ), casirivimab and imdevimab (Regeneron Pharmaceuticals) administered together (early treatment) (The experimental therapy was given to President Donald Trump when he contracted the coronavirus), Vitamins C, D3, B, etc. Given/taken to/by him? What exactly and when exactly? At what dosages?

8. How long after arriving at the hospital was he put on a ventilator? At what setting?

9. Was it a Catholic hospital with Catholic doctors and staff? (Christians only).

These questions should be asked and answered by EVERY COVID patient.

Then we can REALLY see what works when and what doesn’t.

I hope his prayers are answered, but then again, God sent the police, a boat, and a helicopter.

Except the vaccines were developed, manufactured, and sent by Satan.

God sent a vaccine using aborted fetal cells? That is an emphatic NO.

There are no vaccines, only mutagens.

Sad to say but true. Cdl. Burke may soon die, never having come to grips with the Tue nature of the antichurch, and his role in failing, frankly, to kill it in its crib or, if that was beyond his ability, at least substantially stem its steady advance over tge decades at the expense of the One True Faith.

Did he fail to realize the danger posed to him personally of the worldwide effort to deny those who are ill with COVID-19 known effective therapeutic treatments, thereby faring so many to hospitalization and a fatal date with a ventilator tube?

Why didn’t those idiots who call themselves doctors give him monoclonal antibodies? I suppose they don’t need to be afraid of being sued in this particular case... But how many lawsuits have there been as a result of medical malpractice in Covid cases? Have you heard of any? My blood is boiling. The medical profession has truly botched this pandemic.
