He exercised his FREEDUMB not to get a vaccine. That worked out well.

Ahh... but it's NOT Covid! There are doctors and nurses who report that some patients dying of Covid refuse to believe that it is Covid which is killing them. Covid is no worse than a cold!Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 2:02 pm I wonder how people would react if they were asked to sign a document stating they agree to forego all medical treatment for COVID. They likely would sign it then get COVID and beg for medical treatment.
More importantly how does she "know" he's resting comfortably in the arms of Jesus? I bet he's standing before Zeus right now trying to explain his heresy...
I'm not convinced they're anywhere near Jesus. Didn't he have something to say about taking care of each other and not killing people?

Christopher Key AKA #vaccinepolice needs helpChristopher Key and his half-dozen followers reached the Springfield, Mo., Walmart pharmacy counter on Monday evening, the metal shutters were nearly fully drawn.
An Alabama-based anti-vaxxer who has gained a following online — where he spreads false information about the coronavirus pandemic, Key was on a mission to give the pharmacists inoculating shoppers a warning.
“What they’re doing is crimes against humanity,” he said in a live stream on Facebook. “And if they do not stand down immediately, then they could be executed. They can be hung in the state.”

The stunts in Missouri come as the state remains a covid hot spot. Its death rate is among the worst in the country.
About 51 percent of Missourians are fully vaccinated, The Post’s vaccine tracker shows, which matches the national rate. Last month, Missouri joined a handful of other states seeing a notable uptick in vaccinations as the highly contagious delta variant continues to ravage communities, The Post reported. But many residents — specifically in Springfield — are still wary of the vaccine.
Key has a history of making discredited medical claims. A 2013 Sports Illustrated feature chronicled his sports supplements business, which sold deer antler spray to several high-profile athletes as a remedy for injuries and “concussion caps,” which were essentially beanies, to pro football leagues.
Key went on to claim that the pharmacists were violating the Nuremberg Code, a set of medical ethics rules established after World War II that led to the prosecution and execution of several Nazi doctors who carried out medical experiments on victims in concentration camps. Key’s comparisons are inaccurate, experts say, because the coronavirus vaccine is not experimental.
“If you allow one more shot in one more person’s body, you yourself will be executed in violation of the Nuremberg Code,” he said as he pointed to a Walmart employee standing nearby. “We don’t want that to happen to any of you guys at all. We love you guys. We want to keep you safe.
Key repeated false information about the vaccine, saying that it is “experimental” and referencing an affidavit from America’s Frontline Doctors — a group known for spreading misinformation about covid — that alleges some 45,000 people died days after getting the shot.

In a live stream on Wednesday, as Key drove out of Missouri, he falsely warned his viewers that the reports of fully occupied beds in intensive care units in Alabama hospitals were a lie. “If you’ve got the common cold … they are putting people in comas and putting [them on] ventilators,” he said. He also claimed the state was “trying to blame” the surge on people who are unvaccinated. “We know the only people that are getting sick for the most part are those that are vaccinated,” he said.

Whoa. I would say she has spent a lot of time "doing her own research" in all the wrong places. She was reading her statement off her phone, and she had practiced the main points. She's committed, she's a devotee, and she's not coming down out of that tree.
https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/bri ... treatment/Most private insurers are no longer waiving cost-sharing for COVID-19 treatment
Federal law requires all private insurance plans to cover the entire cost associated with approved COVID-19 testing so long as the test is deemed medically appropriate. Additionally, the U.S. government pre-paid for COVID-19 vaccines and required COVID-19 vaccines be made available at no out-of-pocket costs regardless of whether the vaccine recipient is insured. However, while a handful of states required or created agreements with insurers to waive COVID-19 out-of-pocket treatment costs for their fully-insured plan enrollees, there is no federal mandate requiring insurers to do so.
Earlier in the pandemic, we found that the vast majority (88%) of people enrolled in fully-insured private health plans nonetheless would have had their out-of-pocket costs waived if they were hospitalized with COVID-19. At the time, health insurers were highly profitable due to lower-than-expected health care use, while hospitals and health care workers were overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients. Insurers may have also wanted to be sympathetic toward COVID-19 patients, and some may have also feared the possibility of a federal mandate to provide care free-of-charge to COVID-19 patients, so they voluntarily waived these costs for at least some period of time during the pandemic. Our subsequent analysis found that several of these insurers were starting to phase out COVID-19 cost-sharing waivers by November 2020.
In the last few months, the environment has shifted with safe and highly effective vaccines now widely available. In this brief, we once again review how many private insurers are continuing to waive patient cost sharing for COVID-19 treatment. We find that 72% of the two largest insurers in each state and DC (102 health plans) are no longer waiving these costs, and another 10% of plans are phasing out waivers by the end of October.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pressley ... WHF0_QMyfsStutts, a 64-year-old veteran, frequently shared conspiracy theories about the virus, the vaccines and the 2020 election on Facebook, including in posts made from his ICU bed.
On Aug. 1 ― the day he went into the ICU ― Stutts insisted he had “always contended that COVID was very real” and called it “a deadly bio-weapon perpetrated upon the people of the world by enemies foreign, and perhaps domestic.”
He also posted conspiracy theories about the virus online. Last year, he dismissed masks as an “illusion,” claimed in December that there had been no increase in deaths in 2020, and said, “the American public has been gaslighted by the medical industrial complex.”
