Unvaccinated COVID-19 Patient In Louisiana Hospital Tells Others To 'Open Your Eyes'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Unvaccinated COVID-19 patients at an overwhelmed hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, told CNN’s Don Lemon Thursday that holdouts should get the vaccine.

Lemon visited Baton Rouge General Hospital Mid City, the hospital where he was born, to speak with patients and medical staff as the state is swamped by a wave of new COVID-19 cases driven by the virulent delta variant and the low rate of vaccination.

Wearing a full protective suit, Lemon interviewed several patients being treated for the virus, including a 53-year-old man referenced only as Jim. Jim said he had been in the ICU for three days, but was “doing a lot better.”

Asked why he didn’t get vaccinated, Jim said he wasn’t anti-vaccination, but “just hadn’t had time.”

He said he regretted his procrastination. His message to others: “Open your eyes. Take heed to this. This is nothing to play with.”

1. Sorry, I Don't Buy The "I Didn't Have Time" Bullshit

I realize people have busy lives and responsibilities.

But I am willing to bet that this guy did PLENTY of fun, social things over the last few months. The shots take 30 minutes on either 1 or 2 occasions. I went through a lot of effort and spent time trying to get appointments for my parents and myself earlier this year. All that shit isn't even necessary anymore, and you can walk into a CVS and be done in under 30 minutes.

He's saying something that everyone can relate to, rather than be honest and express why he truly had no opportunity in the last 6-7 months to get vaccinated.

2. The woman seemed so nice and genuine.

I’m glad and she’s down to a mask. I think she’ll make it.
