Anti-Vaxx Podcaster on Ventilator/unconscious After Attending QAnon-Friendly Event in Texas

Anti-Vaxx Podcaster Reportedly on Ventilator After Attending QAnon-Friendly Event in Texas

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/anti-vaxx-podcaster-reportedly-on-ventilator-after-attending-qanon-friendly-event-in-texas/ar-AAS93Xg

Attorney Lin Wood announced on Friday that podcaster Doug Kuzma, a supporter of former President Donald Trump known for his anti-vaccine stance, is in the hospital due to COVID after attending a QAnon-friendly conference in Texas earlier this month.

Wood wrote in a Telegram post that he received a call for help from Kuzma's administrator, who said the Frog News Network host had been suffering from the disease and his lungs were not responding to treatment.

According to Telegram posts by Frog News Network on Saturday, Kuzma was placed on a ventilator early Christmas morning and was unconscious and unable to answer calls or messages.

Frog News Network noted that the last contact with Kuzma was on December 19, when he shared a photo of ivermectin he had stockpiled before heading to the Texas event.

Kuzma attended the QAnon-friendly "ReAwaken America" event in Dallas from December 9 to 11. The event drew speakers and attendees known for promoting vaccine conspiracies and claims of 2020 presidential election fraud.

According to a site I found who doesn’t need your clicks, among the drugs he has are hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, budesonide (a steroid used for Crohn’s), enoxaparin (an injectable anticoagulant) and azithromycin (an antibiotic).

It also seems there’s a rumor that this is really anthrax, which someone mixed into the fluid for the fog machines.

Would have taken out more people and they would likely all be dead by now. There is a reason why it’s considered a select agent.

At least 4 in 5 exposed to inhaled anthrax would have died by now.
From the FDA:

Breathing in airborne spores may lead to inhalation anthrax. The mortality rates from anthrax vary, depending on exposure, and are approximately 20% for cutaneous anthrax without antibiotics and 25 - 75% for gastrointestinal anthrax; inhalation anthrax has a fatality rate that is 80% or higher.

…now says it’s not anthrax. Said he (this is from the same CT site that doesn’t need any more clicks than mine) the whole crowd would have died by now if it was anthrax.

What he’s not saying is there’s a nonzero chance the whole crowd is going to die from the COVID they were passing around like Trump Administration trading cards.

still refuse to get protected. I won’t miss their bilious rantings, but you have to also be extremely credulous or severely mentally unwell to actually go through with it.

Whereas powerful right-wing media personalities tend to be vaccinated sociopaths operating a covert “do as I say, not as I do” grift at the expense of millions of lives, imbeciles like this guy are true believers and, in their own way, victims.

medication. I would really like to know why these nuts even go to the hospital. If Covid isn't real, then they really aren't sick and they should just stay home in their own beds and drink their bleach tea or whatever it is they consume these days.
