Ericksen had been reported missing after testing positive for the coronavirus while on a trip to El Salvador and then taken to a hospital in Florida.

He got sick in El Salvador, was brought to Florida, and then no word at all.

He was one of the more obnoxious of anti-vaxxers, which is saying a lot.

The secrecy was part of that, like his constituents had no right to know he'd gotten trapped in his own lies.

When will they ever learn?

This guy was a total anti-vax loon nut job. His propaganda has killed many of his constituents, and now himself. He will not be missed.

Then he was crying tears trying to get the state to either medivac him or send him down some monoclonal antibodies. As far as I know Gov Inslee never got around to sending him anything!! Somehow he did grift up a plane, went to Florida (why not a perfect state for him) and then, well then he died! Bye Doug!!

Recently asked his flock/rubes why there have been no big name democrats who have died of COVID. He's either so close to a breakthrough but maddeningly can't make that last final jump, or he's just refusing to back down from denying reality and is trying to gin up suspicion that COVID somehow only affects conservatives.

Why didn't Ron DeathSantis just sprinkle him with magic "freedumb" powder? It's supposed to protect everyone from the COVID hoax.
