And then he was given real treatment while he remains hospitalized, but he still found time to keep up nonsense ramblings.

COVID-Infected Allen West Goes on Unhinged Anti-Vax Rant—From Hospital

Right-wing firebrand Allen West on Sunday followed up the previous day’s news that he contracted COVID-19 and was hospitalizedwith an off-the-rails Twitter rant against vaccination.

The former congressman, who is not vaccinated, wrote that he and his wife Angela received monoclonal antibody treatments at an emergency room in Dallas on Saturday. “The results were immediate,” he claimedbefore noting that his wife, who is vaccinated, was allowed to go home while he stayed at the hospital due to concerns over COVID-related pneumonia and low blood oxygen levels.

 

The far-right figure, who has increasingly adopted QAnon-adjacent rhetoric and recently quit his post as Texas GOP chairman, praised the hospital for “not forcing any harmful protocols on me” and for “making me grits for breakfast!!!”

And then, despite the burden placed on hospital staff by people like West who refuse to get vaccinated, he pivoted to attacking vaccines.

Unvaxxed Allen West Has COVID, Pneumonia, and Low Oxygen

“I can attest that, after this experience, I am even more dedicated to fighting against vaccine mandates,” he tweeted. “Instead of enriching the pockets of Big Pharma and corrupt bureaucrats and politicians, we should be advocating the monoclonal antibody infusion therapy.” (Monoclonal antibody treatments, of course, are largely manufactured by pharmaceutical giants like Regeneron and GlaxoSmithKline.)

 

West’s anti-vaccine rant included fact-free claims about the shot and somehow also found a way to fearmonger about migrants: “Instead of jabbing Americans, and not illegal immigrants, with a dangerous shot which injects them with these spike proteins...guess what? I now have natural immunity and double the antibodies, and that’s science.”

The Tea Party star also took a moment to tout his Texas gubernatorial candidacy, claiming he will “vehemently crush anyone forcing vaccine mandates” including the “progressive socialist jackasses who must be saved from themselves.”

Aside from his anti-vaccine nonsense, West has previously pushed unproven, potentially dangerous COVID “treatments” popularized by anti-vaxx contrarians, like anti-parasitic drug ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial medication. Neither drug has been proven to treat the coronavirus, despite West’s assertions.

He should have just taken hydroxychloroquine and horse dewormer instead of running to the medical folks that he does not trust.

If he dies today, tomorrow or never is still his RIGHT to take your china shot or not. 

isn’t it?

 You lefties crack me up driving your nose in other’s business with this China  virus nonsense.

You 'conservatives' sadden me with your lack of recognition of what a platform someone like West could have, while not acknowledging you are going lock step when he chooses nonsense that is such group think, while you seem to believe in your individualism. Sad irony, maybe.

Silly liberals. My body. My choice. I thought that was a popular a chant you guys loved. TikTok is a source of news now? A foul mouthed nurse is an expert. They’re thousands in the medical field who do not trust this shot. I guess Trump did do something right for you after all. You libtards are as gullible and sad as those Qtards. In your own little way, of coarse. Listen. If you’re in favor of a guy being able to tuck it back and declare he is a woman, you lost any credibility when you suggest a person can’t choose whether they receive a shot or not. Especially when those shots come from companies that are given full immunity from any civil litigation.

Well he’s good enough to rant on Twitter. I assumed he’s fine. Is he not?

Hope so, but in recent years, can we really be sure someone is actually well just because they tweet???? And who's to say his social media coordinator isn't doing it for him?

Speaking of Tweets. I filled Mrs Goldwater’s suburban this evening. I thought to myself as the pump was nearing $100 bucks, man I should could go for a mean tweet right now.

Sounds like his words to Me. But again, I’ve actually listened to him speak, not what yahoo told me he says. Doesn’t really matter who typed the words on Twitter as long as it’s his words.

You'll get a headache trying to make sense of this. So you get Covid, get hospitalized and get treated by the same medical professionals you don't trust. Why don't they let Bob from the hardware store who gave medical advice on why not to take the vaccine treat them? 

I don't get it.

You do realize that there are medical professionals that do not trust this treatment? What’s there not to get? Everyone has the right to make decisions about their body. I thought liberals were in favor of that with the abortion and transgender issues. I’m assuming you’re a liberal. If I’m wrong, I apologize. You’re vaxxed. Quit hounding people who are not. You are witnessing a medical apartheid in this country. You guys don’t seem to care.

Small brain lefties usually get a headache trying to comprehend common sense!😉
