How it's going:
COVID is real and it is very dangerous. Lawmaker details 8-month battle with virus, urges vaccinations

He described his bout with the virus by saying, everything that can go wrong with Covid did, adding that he continued to get sicker and sicker eventually needing a liver transplant.
Just when it seemed like I was improving, suddenly I wasnt. My liver began to fail. I developed jaundice and was later diagnosed with Covid Cholangiopathy. I was told I would need a liver transplant or else I would die. Again, my family prepared for the worst, he wrote.
Byrd says he received a new liver on June 12, and says, while he still has a long way to go, hes getting stronger every day.

BUT WAIT! Here's how it started!

(95,244 posts)I think there is another angle to it.
One person experiences a difficulty and says 'I wouldn't want anyone else to go through that.'
One person experiences a difficulty and says 'Why should anybody have it easier than me?'

(22,668 posts)Short of that, their words are near meaningless. Because if we know anything about a republican, as soon as it doesn't affect them, they'll go back to their mean spirited hurtful ways.
And nothing from them about how they're sorry to the healthcare workers for not listening to them, the science?
Fuck those turds! Worthless individuals!

(2,518 posts)When these guys got sick - they ran like hell and got the best care possible and probably at the expense of someone more deserving.
And neither one stated "you NEED to get vaccinated". Both provided wishy-washy comments about "everyone's circumstances are different" and "please consider getting vaccinated".
Byrd also stated "this is not an issue that should divide us" after months of dividing his constituents for months.
Pr*cks.
