Holy freaking god, there are multiple levels of stupid in this story. If this guy dies from this, he gets the Darwin Award for 2022, no contest.
The New MAGA Hotness Is Getting COVID and Vlogging From Your Hospital Bed
One surefire way to garner some extreme MAGA-cred nowadays is to get COVID-19, lie about it and say you just have pneumonia, and remain unrepentant as an avowed anti-vaxxer. But theres at least one MAGA diehardan associate of Donald Trumps former chief strategist Steve Bannonwho has taken things a step further.
His name is Ben Bergquam, and he has recently been vlogging from his hospital bedafter being admitted for contracting the coronavirus. Bergquam has talked about how thrilled he is that he never got the COVID vaccine, and hasnaturallymade sure to brag to his viewers about how in-shape he is.
Anyway, he ended up on oxygen, and has vlogged from the COVID ward about how much trouble hes had breathing in the middle of the night.
Hes recording videos from his hospital bed about like, I'm so glad I didn't get the vaccine, Fever Dreams co-host Will Sommer recounted to co-host Asawin Suebsaeng on this weeks episode of The Daily Beasts Fever Dreams podcast. Hes got the oxygen tube in his nose, and hes saying, Oh, you just gotta stay fit, you wont die of COVID. And its like, buddy, if youre in your thirties, and youre getting hospitalized, and youre in relatively good shapethats not a great outcome for you from having the virus.
If youre wondering whether Bergquam took the time to record some requisite MyPillow promos, yes. Yes, he did.
