Florida Councilman Who Mocked Dr. 'Falsey' Fauci Is Hospitalized With Severe COVID

[UpInArms]

Fred Lowry, a councilman for Florida’s Volusia County and a loud COVID-19 denier, is in the hospital with a severe case of COVID-19, according to the County Chair Jeff Brower. “He is in the hospital wrestling with COVID-19. It’s been about three weeks now,” Brower said on Tuesday as Lowry, 66, missed a county council meeting for the second time.

Lowry, a Republican halfway through his second term on the Volusia County Council, spread COVID-19 disinformation and conspiracy theories, going so far as to say the pandemic was a hoax. “We were lied to,” he said in a sermon at Denton’s Lakes Baptist Church. Lowry often criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom he nicknamed “Dr. Falsey,” and insisted the top health official was a liar and pervert. Other conspiracies Lowry promoted had to do with media coverage of hydroxychloroquine and the Wuhan lab-leak theory.

[stillcool]

3. he gave a sermon full of lies

and now his own special hell is closing in. Maybe miracles do happen?

[C Moon]

61. I like this.

[benfranklin1776]

63. As he sowed...

So he is reaping.

4. Boo F'ing hoo

[StopTheNeoCons]

5. Ditto on the toe tag

[2naSalit]

6. Toe tag for the prize...

Maybe we could coin a phrase from that.

[MagickMuffin]

32. Co-viddi-toe-tag

I can hear the country twang now!

7. Karma batting clean up

[MLAA]

36. Hope it's a grand slam his ass and puts him on the express to to the big locker room

in the sky!

[secondwind]

8. Bye bye birdie...............

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Karma.

What goes around, cones around.

[orwell]

10. Clue phone...

...pickup on line MAGA.

[dalton99a]

11. Move him to the morgue ASAP.

[Raven]

12. I wonder how many deaths he's responsible for. n/t

[liberalla]

24. Yes, I'd like to know that too.

[First Speaker]

13. This may not be popular here, but I'm hoping for his recovery...

...I can't really, in my heart, hope for anyone to die, no matter what I sometimes tell myself when I see stories like this. What I'm hoping for is a recovery, a realization that he has done evil, and an honest attempt on his part to make up for his actions by trying to spread the truth. For five years, I prayed every day for Trump to find his better nature. Maybe *that* was asking for a miracle, but they do happen...

[Jon King]

15. Thinking like that will destroy the world.

These people are directly screwing my kid's future and the very future of civilization. Climate change, the Covid crap, trying to ruin the democracy.

Praying while the opponent is trying to destroy you and your family is a sure way to end up destroyed. Most of this crap comes from their belief in the rapture nonsense. They can destroy earth because it does not matter, they will fly up to a puffy cloud. I ain't letting these scum bags destroy my kid's future.

The answer to religion destroying the planet is certainly not more prayer.

[vanlassie]

23. Exactly. These people lack empathy and no amount of

hopeful wishes will change them. They are broken and unfixable. It’s dangerous.

[Crunchy Frog]

21. We're in a low grade civil war and he's the enemy.

I regard these people as the moral equivalent of bioterror suicide bombers.

I'll mourn Bin Laden before I mourn people like him.

[leftieNanner]

27. I applaud your kindness

But don't expect him to realize that he has done evil. He will dig in his heels.

I know such people. Recovered from Covid, but just as pigheaded as they were before.

[Phoenix61]

29. If he recovers he'll use it as proof that the

vaccine isn’t necessary and that prayer heals.

[LiberalLovinLug]

68. BINGO!

[IronLionZion]

38. The road to hell is paved with good intentions

[hatrack]

39. It's OK - I'll hope that he dies so that you don't have to . . .

Done with wishing the best for the Stupid, the Trumpy, the Gunny, the Crazy.

Done.

[niyad]

40. So my question is, what are you smoking, and do you share?

[Mariana]

53. I have no doubt he believed what he was preaching.

Evidence of that is that he apparently did not get vaccinated.

[NH Ethylene]

58. I appreciate what you've said. Compassion for those not like ourselves is a rarity here.

I was raised to never wish anyone dead. It darkens your own soul to wish harm on others.

I made an exception for Trump, of course.

On edit - I am somewhat gleeful that he got Covid, to be honest, but I want him and all the others like him to recover.

[tenderfoot]

67. I'm hoping for his recovery... oh me too! So he can double down on his beliefs and go right back..

to the troll he was before.

[Richard D]

[SKKY]

18. Like Rick James once said...

..."Karma. It's a hell of a drug!"

[monkeyman1]

19. should not be taking up bed space ! put him out for the buzzards!!

[Crunchy Frog]

20. I'm praying for him...

to get a Herman Cain Award.

[kentuck]

22. Is it just my imagination or is Darwin working overtime?

It seems like every arrogant loudmouth that mocks the Covid-19 ends up with the virus?

Do they think they are special and it would never hit them?

Why do they taunt such a deadly virus?

Do they have no respect for life?

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. Mainline some horse de-wormer into him.

[orangecrush]

26. Toe tag

[colorado_ufo]

28. Another a-hole creating havoc for us all, spreading conspiracies and lies and

disease, making life hell for the good Dr. Fauci, and then RUNNING to science and modern medicine when Covid-19 slaps him upside the head.

I have considered politics, ignorance, pride, ego, "religion," flat-earthers, and more, and yet I can't wrap my head around this level of stupid. So many of these people wind up sick/dead! Do they ever turn on the TV? Don't they remember TFG getting Covid-19 and shipped off to Walter Reed, and so many in the White House getting sick? Then TFG and his whole family and staff getting tested and vaccinated?

I give up. Like Ron White says, "There's no cure for stupid."

[chwaliszewski]

31. Too bad...

[Auggie]

33. K&R

[Missn-Hitch]

34. Woo hoo! Keep taking them out.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. You just can't fix it. Horse done left the barn on that. n/t

41. Karma bites again! 👍

Boo-fucking-goo for that a-hole.

[hot2na]

42. Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chamelian!

[niyad]

43. May he receive everything he deserves.

[tclambert]

44. Karma is my new favorite superhero.

Sorry, Thor, but Karma has proven herself more worthy.

[AverageOldGuy]

45. Sounds as though . . .

. . . he is at death's door.

Let's hope the docs pull him through.


Hmmmm. That didn't come out right. Or maybe it did.

[rpannier]

46. He needs to stop hogging that hospital so those that truly need can have it

Hopefully he's gone soon

[ffr]

47. Tragic! It must be Jimmy Carter going around making these people sick.

It must be true. I heard it on Fox.

[NNadir]

48. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It's criminal that he's hogging a hospital bed for...

...someone who might really need it.

[traitorsgalore]

49. Love these articles!

Learning about these hateful people getting what they deserve, every single day, is uplifting! These covidiots are using germ warfare against all of us and every one of them that dies makes the entire planet a better place.

Of course, covidiotLowry isn't dead yet, just using up all the "socialist" medical resources before he goes.

[llmart]

50. Well, I for one am praying for him...

to get that toe tag ASAP!

[Historic NY]

51. Republicans and MAGA disappearing.

[BradAllison]

52. Oh, well.....n/m

[Equomba]

54. I have to say I had a pretty good day today, until reading this.

But NOW? It's EVEN BETTER!

[keithbvadu2]

55. Why are you wasting hospital resources for a hoax?

Why are you wasting hospital resources for a hoax?

You're just faking it for the attention?

[spooky3]

56. Love the comments on this thread! Thanks, DU! Nt

[Scrivener7]

59. I wonder how many listened to him and died as a result.

[YDogg]

62. Sounds like he's more than ...

... "halfway through his second term on the Volusia County Council."

[budkin]

64. That's a shame...

Really.

[lagomorph777]

65. Good. Three weeks in the hospital is a likely indicator that the hoax virus is winning.

I hope so.

[Sanity Claws]

66. No death notice yet

But let's keep checking. He is 66 and overweight.

[LiberalLovinLug]

69. ...

[BHDem53]

70. Dr. Falsey?

What a boob.

[SunSeeker]

71. He's taking a hospital bed away from a car accident or heart attack victim.

[Botany]

72. Park his ass on a cot in a wall tent and just give him

Food and water, pain killers, and palliative care. Maybe they can bring in a back hoe so he can see his grave being dug. Don't use up hospital bed space, O2, or skilled care on him.

[Texaswitchy]

73. That is the way it is.

[malaise]

74. IHDY?

That is all

[UpInArms]

76. ....

[Hassin Bin Sober]

Herman Cain is waiting along with Rush to say hello
