a go fund me for a guy who wouldn't get vaxxed

[orleans]

and neither will his girlfriend, who is a nurse and apparently didn't want her last name used in the article hartmann tweeted. i found another article (where i didn't have to give out my email to read it) and it says they set up a go fund me.

on go fund me the mom gave an update: "They are trying to decrease sedation
Still having little issues with his heart.
Physical and occupational therapy are going to start working with him today.
He is looking at 3 to 4 more months in the hospital!"

i know i can be a real bitch but i think setting up a go fund me when the family was like fuck-you-all about getting vaccinated to protect the family & the community takes a lot of fucking nerve. too bad they didn't use that to help them be brave enough to get vaxxed (or whatever their excuse for that is)

1. It's up to $3400.

He believes in Santa Claus, but not a vaccine that could save his life.

He's on an ECMO right now. $5000 is not going to come close to his final hospital bill. If he lives.

Oh, and the government WAS "fudging the numbers", but it was your republican run state government doing that, not Democrats in Washington.

2. three or four months in the hospital in ICU? that bill will be in the millions.

[TheBlackAdder]

4. Let me guess, his reckless decision now socializes his medical care on private insurers & taxpayers.

6. He lives in Oregon, which is run by Democrats

Milwaukie is a suburb of Portland, so definitely not part of the bright-red eastern Oregon hellhole.

15. My bad.

I saw Milwaukee and assumed Wisconsin.
What's that old adage about what happens when we assume things?
Thanks for pointing that out.

[jmowreader]

22. It is confusing

[jimfields33]

14. Strange. He's not in a red state.

[SergeStorms]

16. See above.

I shouldn't 'assume'.

[jimfields33]

17. I do all the time.

3. "Things did get worse, but I am glad I got Covid-19."

We have them here as well. This lot have set up a Go-fund Me too. Presumably thought that life insurance was some kind of government plot.

5. Well, begging for money online...

Is so much more dignified.

[Demobrat]

7. I wonder if the Go Fund Me money will go to pay

the hospital, or fund a new pick up truck.

[jmowreader]

23. If he's as far into the disease as I suspect...

…it might go to fund a funeral.

[AZ8theist]

8. Thoughts and prayers....ASSHOLE.

[Sherman A1]

10. My thoughts exactly

[wnylib]

9. I'd rather donate to outreach

programs like mobile vaccine units that carry the vaccine into communities that need it than to someone who had it available and refused it.

11. Go fund me is the republican health care plan

12. +1 n/t

[tenderfoot]

21. Oh, you got that right.

I've been saying that for awhile now.

13. Nothing says charity like a big hey-look-at-what-I-did picture

18. How about a "GoFuckYou" page?

Saw that in an article and think it would be appropriate for all the anti-vaxxers and COVID-deniers.

Of course, the trick is they get lots of F***ks, but no money.

[dalton99a]

19. +1

[tenderfoot]

20. I found his fb page... big time MAGA

eom

[Vinca]

24. If he can't be bothered to get a free vaccine to prevent this sort of thing,

I can't be bothered to even consider sending him any money. In any case, isn't "MAGA" all about being self-sufficient and deriding anything that smacks of demon "socialism?"
