If he wasn’t fully vaccinated he would have died even worse.

If the vaccine isn't 100% effective it's good to know it prefers to kill 84 yr old sick people

He would have had a good shot at Pres if he wanted it.  He served his country well.  RIP.

I read that he had battled multiple myeloma. Chemotherapy, etc. which can easily weaken the immune system. He was 84 years old to boot. 

Rest in Peace.

Wow! Wake up call for me. I, too, have Multiple Myeloma. I've been getting too comfortable around people and family that aren't masked and/or vaccinated. Even though I'm fully vaccinated,,my medical specialists have warned me time & again to act like I'm not. The antibody protection the vaccine produces dissipates quickly with those that are immunocomprised. I'm currently in 2 studies (John Hopkins & Leukemia - Lymphoma Society) that measures antibodies produced by the vaccines at different time stages. My 1st Pfizer gave me a small amount of antibodies but the 2nd one kicked it up to >250 U/ul. However at my 6 month lab draw it had fallen to 64 U/uL. Fortunately, my 3rd vaccine kicked way up to >2500 U/uL I feel safer from Covid but not entirely. Let's face it, we're all gonna die of something down the road. I just don't want it to be Covid, something I can control if I rationally approach it. Stay safe everyone!!

My mother had a kidney transplant about 11 years ago and got vaccinated. She too is being studied by John Hopkins and her antibody levels were fairly low after her vaccines. She got covid about 3 weeks ago (3 days after her booster shot) and was able to get the Regeneron about 2 days after her symptoms developed. She felt better the next day. I'm curious what her levels will look like after having a booster and getting covid. You should find out which hospitals in your area have regeneron so that you can get the treatment quickly if you do indeed get Covid.

Good advice regarding Regeneron Jason! Thanks for that.

I’m totally for people getting the vaccine if they want it. I’m totally against forcing people to get the vaccine.

Yeah, but you act like the vaccine is dangerous and ineffective.

We don't know the long term effects of the covid-19 "vaccine."

Listen.  Some mistakes made.  Some misunderstandings that maybe he should have spoke up on earlier.  Who amongst us am I right ?

[St1ck]

Is there a chance he could still survive this?

For a guy that to this second has not been forced to get a vaccine you sure are leading the world in being forced to get a vaccine
