'Prayers up' for COVID denying right-wing radio host with severe COVID

Fuck him. I feel nothing. One less right wing asshole when he croaks.

Oh how terribly sad. I definitely care what happens to whoever this is.

Haha!

Anti-vaxxers are proving Darwin's Theory of Evolution before our eyes. Survival of the fittest. In the case of Covid, it's the survival of the smartest. The dummies who refuse to get vaccinated are, for the most part, the ones getting sick and dying now .

[quote]Anti-vaxxers are proving Darwin's Theory of Evolution before our eyes. Survival of the fittest. In the case of Covid, it's the survival of the smartest.

And the deaths of the most belligerent, it seems.

Zero fucks given. How many people did this idiot kill with his anti-vax rhetoric?

A recent statement claims he was never anti-vaxx but wishes he were more pro-vaxx on air

My brother listens to some shitstain like this on a local Florida station.

I quit speaking to him two months ago because all he does is scream incoherent reich wing conspiracy theories at me.

I can't even ask how the rebuild of his truck is going without him launching into some stupid tirade.

A friend of mine's cat is missing. I think I'll pray for the cat to be found well and safe, instead.

Fuck him. Piece of shit. Only people I feel sorry for are the hospital staff that have to take care of the dummy who deliberately took no precautions.

[quote]Three months ago, Valentine even tried to draw comparisons between hospital workers who had to indicate their Covid-19 vaccination status on their work ID badges with Jews forced to wear yellow stars in Nazi Germany. That vaccination status indication on hospital worker IDs is common and is made for other vaccines, including the seasonal flu.

He sounds like a peach. Would hate to lose him.

His family had better hope God doesn't need another right-wing radio host.

Never heard of this cunt before

Culling of the Herd.

Culling of all of us, r14, because this is an insanely infectious disease, not just a personal choice.

These vax deniers are hurting everyone, not just themselves. They’re keeping covid alive.

Prayers. Yeah, that’ll help.

R9 aw. Let us know if he finds the poor thing.

R9, is it a rescue cat?

It would be ironical indeed if the missing cat were one of those that sits upon the chests of assisted living residents when they draw their last breath.

Let's all form a prayer circle to do him in quicker!

Just when I think karma isn’t a thing, it proves me wrong.

Apparently he's getting worse.

[quote]Phil Valentine, who hosts a talk radio show on 99.7 WWTN-FM in Nashville, is hospitalized and is receiving supplemental oxygen while in critical care battling COVID pneumonia, his family said in a statement Friday. “They say he is still not getting well.. please pray for me,” his wife, Susan, told the station on Saturday morning, according to a tweet. “I am at a breaking point.”

You know who else is at a "breaking point"? Doctors, nurses and other hospital staff, taking care of idiots like your husband.

Dead yet?

another dead white devil soon 👍

Covid loves middle-aged men, particularly ones with some extra lbs.

I've been working overtime and I'm exhausted.

Ive been thinking something for a while now,but was hesitant to say it because you bitches can be vile ,but what the hell. Celebrating,laughing at,mocking and having joy in general over these stupid idiots deaths actually make you just as hateful as they are. No man is an island,

Entire of itself;

Every man is a piece of the continent,

A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less,

As well as if a promontory were:

As well as if a manor of thy friend's

Or of thine own were.

Any man's death diminishes me,

Because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;

It tolls for thee.

Our hate has made us powerful.

Fuck. That.

These people are KILLING other people through their spread of misinformation and lies, only to suddenly care when it affects their selfish selves.

Society is way overdue for a culling of the stupid and selfish from the herd. Fortunately they will end up doing the work for us.

R32, I get that. I vacillate back and forth. Part of my has absolutely no concern about these people but once in a while I remember that most of them sadly are not gifted in the brains dept. (I totally believe they are less intelligent) and have been easily duped. Interesting that it seems your point about culling the heard is actually true.

I feel more relief than joy when one of these evil pigs dies.

If he doesn’t die, that means even god doesn’t want him

If a super strong variant rolls through and takes out all of these deplorable anti-vaxxers, you know they're just going to claim that the Rapture took them home.

But, we'll know better.

Who gives a shit WHAT they claim, r36? They're dead and can't vote, watch Fux or clog up supermarket aisles like beached whales anymore.

fuck this guy. Before he went to the hospital, he felt bad for about a week and he spread the virus to as many people as humanly possible. No mask for this mother fucker. He's a domestic terrorist and should be arrested the minute he's discharged from the hospital

I'm sick of this shit. If the situations were reversed and these were dems, spreading disease and death, they'd be arrested

It's God's will that these awful people die a horrible death. Who am I to disagree with God??

Positive anymore

R15, these vax deniers may also be potentially setting up another variant. A variant that could make our vaccines ineffective against Covid. Or makes the virus much more transmissible and maybe even more deadly

We already the base vaccine established, it took a year of "warp speed" to make the vaccine effective against Covid's spike protein. We can't wait another year or longer for scientists to work on making the vaccine work on a new variant

And that's what the government should be making crystal clear to the public

[quote]If a super strong variant rolls through and takes out all of these deplorable anti-vaxxers, you know they're just going to claim that the Rapture took them home.

That's fine. Let the yokels have their fun. Just get them the hell out of here.

No Vaccine. No Ventilator.

I'm with you, r1. 100%. No pity, no care, no thoughts, no prayer. The world is worse with them.

Yes, yes, r29. I've studied and taught Donne. And one can certainly appreciate his sincerely-held Christianity as expressed in "Meditation XVII," especially as he does acknowledge that some men die via God's "translator" of "justice."

I admit to being a lesser person than John Donne.

R29:

A couple of days ago his wife reported that he was sitting up, watching tv, and claiming he was getting better (although she noted that the doctors hadn't said that). His fangirls were all: "See?? We tried to tell you it's just the flu!"

And still, between updates on his condition, the radio station continues to retweet COVID deniers.

Oh, he's on a ventilator now? Yeah, he's not coming off that.

I'm praying that he dies.

Is he dead yet? 💀

God hates shitbags.

"Deciding" to be put on a vent for a much-needed rest is poised to become the Deplorable version of the 28-day stint in rehab for dehydration and exhaustion.

What I'm really hoping for is that he be asked to show his vaccination passport on the way to Heaven. "Not vaccinated? Sorry, you'll be going down there. Let's just call it... quarantine by fire."

How much physical discomfort does the intubation process cause? Is the person fully sedated and unconscious? It's a horrifying thought to go that way. I get stressed out eating with a stuffed up nose and have drowning nightmares. I've never stopped wearing the mask indoors despite being fully vaxxed since May 14. I was surprised that I was able to take to wearing masks.

[quote]Out of an abundance of caution, Phil has decided to be put on a ventilator . . .

Wave your little hand and whisper so long, dearie . . .

[quote]Out of an abundance of caution, Phil has decided to be put on a ventilator

"Abundance of caution" my ass. You're dying, asshole.

With friends like these...

When can we get the booster shot?

R54, people on mechanical ventilators are sedated for most of the time. But Covid-19 patients go through hellish discomfort and weakness before it gets to the point of ventilation (which seems to be a Hail Mary pass for older victims of the disease). His family may be technically correct that going on the ventilator was his decision, but I suspect it was presented as a choice between that or certain death rather than him deciding on it out of a selection of treatment options. Odds are the next thing we hear from him will be Taps.

R59 you are exactly right. It was his "choice" because the alternative was not being able to breathe. No one--NO ONE--is put on a ventilator unless it is absolutely needed.

[quote]When can we get the booster shot?

My guess is October-November, based on the current chatter.

Mmmm, freshly baked cookies!

Exhibit B:

See, now who says you can’t fix stupid?

Wait a minute. OP, is this a repeat?

I swear I’ve seen this episode before.

Can I have his stuff ?

That's funny. I opened this thread to post "I don't want his stuff."

[quote]I’m not an anti-vaxxer. I’m just using common sense. What are my odds of getting COVID? They’re pretty low. What are my odds of dying from COVID if I do get it? Probably way less than one percent. I’m doing what everyone should do and that’s my own personal health risk assessment. If you have underlying health issues you probably need to get the vaccine. If you’re not at high risk of dying from COVID then you’re probably safer not getting it. That evokes shrieks of horror from many, but it’s true. I’m weighing the known versus the unknown.

They're now trying to find an ECMO for him. I suspect a gentleman caller named Mr. ARDS left his calling card on the silver tray.

ECMO = dead.

[quote]Praying fervently & believing that God will breath into Phill’s lungs & that he will recover quickly!!

Yeah, good luck with that.

It's really hard not to be smug about this. I do try, I really do.

Covid is God’s punishment for voting for Trump

Notice the new talking point all these unvaccinated idiots who are appearing on the news keep repeating..."I wasn't anti vaccines. I just never got around to getting it." They are ALL saying this now because they know that they are fucking dumb as rocks.

I swear I keep hearing them say this on the news stories coming out about them.

Well this is their tactic. If they say their never getting vaccinated then that will turn off any potential followers. But, if they say that they're waiting for more information, or they want to see how the vaccination programme pans out, then that sounds more reasonable to a Covid hesitant person.

Over here in the UK 90% of pregnant women haven't been vaccinated yet. Its all the fucking Mumsnet brigade who are whipping up vaccination reluctance in young mums by taking the 'we're waiting to see if it's safe' despite the fact that if they are hospitalised with Covid then they're is real risk of them having to have a caesarian in order to assist their breathing.

Though he was unvaccinated, DuPreez told the station that they both planned to get the COVID-19 shot eventually.

“We were just holding off and now to think that if we just had gotten the shot a week before or a month before when one of our jobs had a vaccination thing, he could still be here,” she said.

I had to look up ECMO. Sounds like a machine of last resort.

It is, r77. ECMO bypasses the lungs and/or heart and oxygenates the blood directly via a cannula inserted into the jugular vein (lungs) or carotid artery (lungs and heart). It's the last resort when the lungs are too far gone for mechanical ventilation.

There's usually an immediate improvement in the patient's condition, but it isn't genuine. It's just that the wrecked lungs are now completely out of the picture and a machine is doing 100% of the work. The idea is that some time off will give the lungs a chance to settle down and perhaps rally, but it's very common on ECMO for the kidneys to fail.

Let me oh-dear and oh-my myself before someone else does.

Veno-venous ECMO = lungs

Veno-arterial ECMO = lungs and heart

Lungs are always involved. There's no heart-only ECMO.

We have Europe's largest and one of the world's leading ECMO departments in my city in the UK.

It's amazing how they've been deploying the machines to help Covid patients from around the country.

A friend who just died of Covid was put on ECMO as a last resort and you’re right r78, his kidneys started to fail and he had to undergo dialysis. Then he had a heart attack and it was over. He was vaccinated btw, but the doctors theorize he caught it around his second vaccine and the second vaccine didn’t have time to work and give him full immunity.

None of these idiots deserve lung transplants either.

Poor devil. Horrible way to go.

Wasn't he vaccinated in the blood of Jesus, or whatever the religio-loons say?

It used to be “covered by (or in) the blood of Jesus.” But you’re right; now there’s an option to be vaccinated with it.

My blood turned out to be Covid-positive, sorry my bad.

Yes, dumb as a box of rocks.

I enjoy hearing about every Covid death that could have been prevented through vaccination

Has this dangerous fool croaked yet? I'm planning to celebrate.

Calm down, R88. We'll get there when we get there.

I’m getting concerned. He’s not dying fast enough.

Throw him on the plague cart already! We've got our rounds to make.

[quote] If they say their never getting vaccinated

Oh, dear.

[quote] if they are hospitalised with Covid then they're is real risk

Oh, dear!

For the person that posted a link to his radio station, I followed it. They posted this:

SuperTalk 99.7 WTN Retweeted

Tomi Lahren @TomiLahren Freedom over EVERYTHING. Let the American people make their OWN decisions when it comes to their OWN health. It’s not for the government to decide.

You should see the comments she’s getting. So it’s fine if I drive drunk? So you’re for legalizing all drugs? Not when these anti-vaxxers are going to take my job away! This is a right wing station as far as I can tell, and it’s their Twitter.

I didn’t see many agreeing with her, if any. A lot of people were mad at anti-vaxxers, calling them selfish and saying kids can’t get vaccines and they’re putting them at risk. Looks like the tide may be turning.

[quote] Oh, he's on a ventilator now? Yeah, he's not coming off that.

Oh, yes, he is.*

*He be dayd, but he be off it.

[Quote] Tomi Lahren @TomiLahren Freedom over EVERYTHING. Let the American people make their OWN decisions when it comes to their OWN health. It’s not for the government to decide.

* except abortion and gay rights, of course

Instead of bleating on about freedom, these right wing dum dums should really take a look who's dying--their base--and urge them all to vaccinate. But that would make them smart.

[quote]Wasn't he vaccinated in the blood of Jesus, or whatever the religio-loons say?

But I thought they hated the Mexicans.

They’re referring to the Middle Eastern Jesus

But don’t worry. They’ve made him white for their convenience

And right on time ...

[quote]They ask for prayers for his kidneys.

So prayers are needed for specific organs? A general "please restore his health" wouldn't cover it?

From his Facebook page:

[quote]Pull yourself up by your boot straps & quit taking oxygen handouts.

R29 do you sympathize with murderers in general? or do you pick and choose?

[quote] They ask for prayers for his kidneys.

I’ll pray for them. They didn’t ask to be put into such an idiot. They don’t deserve to die. Him, on the other hand….

Let the church say amen!

[quote]Let the American people make their OWN decisions when it comes to their OWN health. It’s not for the government to decide.

Except for women, it’s for the government to make reproductive decisions for them.

I hope his kidneys get to heaven quick

R100, I had no idea that they made these very specific prayer requests but now I'm wondering if they're common?

Early in the pandemic I came across a comment praising Jesus for inventing a certain flavor of ice cream and clicked on the profile. I followed the commenter for the WTF factor when I saw big mask-free gatherings taking place at the same time prayers were being requested for COVID-stricken meemaw in the ICU. The evangelizer got sick a few weeks ago and this is what she asked for:

[quote]Just wanted to reach out for prayers specifically for my breathing and oxygen levels.

[quote]Would you pray that my breathing would grow stronger quickly and my oxygen would stay above 92?

She died at 39. Meemaw lived.

It is to the point where I'm on Death Watch 2021. I'm watching all these Covid denying idiots dying from Covid and gleefully laughing. I am not proud of this but this is better than any reality show in the last 10 years. Too bad the losers get voted off the island permanently but hey, FREEDOM!

MORE! MORE! I want entire Red States to be wiped out.

When he considered it the Trump vaccine, he was all in. Imagine throwing your life away to own the libs only to realize you could have just followed the Fox News playbook and quietly gotten vaccinated while still preaching the anti-vax gospel to the rubes.

May, 2020

[quote]Here’s the deal, folks. ABC is already going after Moderna. Other left-wing outlets will follow. They can’t allow any company to come up with a vaccine before November. If they do, watch for the stories saying it’s not safe. That’s how they roll.

September, 2020

[quote]So what happens when Trump announces there's a vaccine. Will Biden take it?

November, 2020

[quote]I'd start with just praising Trump for the amazing job he did getting us a vaccine.

Pull the plug — Heaven needs another angel!!!!

Phil who??

An someone update what the latest body part is I should be praying for? Don’t want to waste a prayer on something that’s either too far gone or still in good order.

Covid denying Tennessee politician gets sick and gets a liver transplant. They should have let the fat fuck die.

What a horrible story to post R113. He only nearly died? Pathetic. COVID should have tried harder.

David Byrd is another one with that Jason Miller lightbulb head that blends seamlessly into the neck fat and appears to be missing a mandible. It’s almost like Jesus done built ‘em for easy intubation, praise His holy design!

[quote]As I said this afternoon on the radio, you folks can wallow in this COVID thing all you want. The rest of us are going back to America. Have a gut one.

[quote]Don’t want to waste a prayer on something that’s either too far gone or still in good order.

Pray for his hair. Once the kidneys start going, it becomes a row of dominoes falling. His family will be making the decision soon, if they haven’t already. There’s still hope for his hair, though.

[quote]Covid denying Tennessee politician gets sick and gets a liver transplant. They should have let the fat fuck die.

That’s a damn shame they wasted a liver on such a deplorable.

These idiots should put their signatures where the mouths are.

We should all be vaccinated, or sign a refusal of vaccination.

Those that sign refusals will be denied hospital beds, lung transplants, liver transplants, kidney transplants, dialysis,etc. leaving those spots free for the truly deserving.

I bet more than a few of them would reconsider when staring down at that blank signature line.

Ha! R116, who's wallowing in Covid now? Plus bedsores and MRSA, likely as not...

Is he dead now?

R112, pray for AFib.

I love that it’s one of the things they list as being “way off,” like AFib is ever right on.

[quote]The family of 99.7 WWTN’s Phil Valentine Monday morning posted on social media that the conservative talk radio host is gravely ill, and it will take a miracle for him to survive. He remains on life support at Williamson Medical Center, [bold]in need of ECMO, but not stable enough for transport. In addition to COVID-19, he is dealing with pneumonia, a secondary infection, irregular heart rate, AFIB, kidney failure, and uncontrolled blood pressure[/bold]. The family has removed all health updates from public view.

I hope the family plays his funny "Vaxman" parody to make him smile! I'm sure the nurses would enjoy it too.

From a local Nashville site.

Womp, womp.

[quote]I have been screaming for months, "Get your vitamin D checked!" We hear from our so-called experts several times a day to "wear a mask!" Do you EVER hear them talking about vitamin D? Don't you wonder why that is? Wish I knew, but vitamin D saves lives.

Not [italic]all[/italic] lives, apparently.

Roll him out into the sun, R126. I'm sure that will fix him right up. Of course, they're going to need several long extension cords as well.

Maybe they could prop him up in a wheelchair and have one of those portable vents that quadriplegics use on their chairs.

[quote] like AFib is ever right on.

I can dig it, man. I can dig it.

Aawwww. Darn.

I know what’s playing on his iPod….

Now the family is trying to claim this jackass wasn't against the vaccine.

Sure, Jan.

The family is just trying to do damage control. If he dies, they will probably come up with some bullshit story about how he was planning to get vaxxed all along.

This is how they're doing damage control.

And this.

As seen in r134 conservatives ALWAYS have to have some group of “the other” to blame for their own failings. These people are just shitstains.

What about Hydrocloriquin? Perhaps if they tried some way of possibly getting the bleach into the body? Maybe someone can look into that, who knows...

[shrug and grin]

Next question....

Is he dead yet?

Thots and playas, thots and playas.

Between pushing his "cure" protocol of vitamins, ivermectin, and hydroxychloroquine; organizing a troll army to fight YouTube when Plandemic was taken down; and compulsively using the term "bovine scatology," because that's just so clever; he also found time to tell people they shouldn't get tested. What a guy!

[quote]We also find out that Governor Lee has been turning over the names and addresses of COVID-positive patients to the police! In direct violation of HIPAA laws! Who in the world would ever get tested now if they have symptoms? I'm not encouraging anybody not to. I'm just sayin'.

This piece of shit is taking FOREVER to die. Pull that fucking plug already.

[quote]This piece of shit is taking FOREVER to die. Pull that fucking plug already.

Chop chop! Let him go meet his hero Rush Limbaugh.

It's hard to feel any sympathy for this guy. He not only was very smug about not getting vaccinated, but he spewed out misinformation as well that probably influenced others.

The brother is total asshole. I'm guessing their father was a DINO type

Has there ever been anything douchier than this?

Good night nurse. Pod Goats? Ask them anything? Is buddy boi a top or lazy pillow princess bottom?

I need a bowel flush after seeing that load.

[quote]Phil Valentine's personal experience with COVID

The son at R145 tested positive first. Then daddy got tested and insisted on a vitamin D test at the same time. They didn't want to give him one but he told the medical professionals that the result of that test would be the sole determinant of how HE was going to deal with his infection. The hubris!

Then he got all indignant because, based on their reaction to his test demands (which they did eventually give in to), he knew there was no way they'd give him ivermectin. He scoffed at their interpretation of his D levels because his "people" — some doctor in Idaho, whose name he can't remember, and a local diet-PT-vitamin IV-chiropractic clinic — said the higher the better. Based on that, he determined that he was going to be just fine and all he had to do was get some ivermectin.

He didn't want to go to a farm-supply store for equine ivermectin because figuring out the dosage for his weight would be too confusing. He went to a website to order it — also too confusing; required a consultation with a doctor; wasn't going to click "click here to approve" without knowing what he was clicking. Website #2 — in Memphis; too far; didn't know who they were. Kimberly, a random caller who happened to be a nurse, hooked him up with her boss and Phil finally got his dewormer. He took it at 10:30 and by 1:00 he "felt like a million dollars! Well, not completely..."

And on and on it goes.

Is he dead yet? This exact progression of Covid he's having is what killed my friend a year ago before the vaccine was available. He is likely going to die, too. The family will have to pull him off all the machines and he will die. My friend died within 10 mins of being removed from the machines. It sucked but this guy deserves it. My friend did not.

I'm sorry you lost your friend, r148.

Thanks, Lezzie. It sucked as he caught it from his son who felt fine, went to visit him and then pretty much killed him. But my friend should not have allowed him to stop by, either so both are to blame.

These people are nuts..

Wow, R147.

That son must feel horrible.

Is he dead yet?

What R153 said. I keep checking in but no news. Now I know how his family feel. The waiting is making me anxious.

R143 I agree, the bullshit he spewed probably influenced other morons not to get vaxxed.

His sister’s update from this morning:

[quote]Phil is still in AFib & remains in critical condition. Please continue to pray for AFib and a miracle.

Prayer warriors of DL, she seems to be telling you that the AFib is struggling and needs a miracle.

Seriously though, for someone who was so smug in his belief that he was head and shoulders above others in his age cohort, what little is being released paints a picture that’s as common as dirt for a man his age:

Ventilator —> hemodynamic instability —> intermittent AFib —> ventilator-induced kidney injury; renal failure —> the spiral begins in earnest —> CRRT takes over for failing kidneys; immunoadsorption —> hemodynamics and AFib worsen; liver begins to fail —> therapeutics exhausted —> family insists #MiraclesHappen —> family fights to delay the inevitable —> family accepts reality.

[quote]Phil is still in AFib & remains in critical condition. Please continue to pray for AFib and a miracle.

Pray for AFib? Isn't he already in AFib?

[bold]HAVE THEY TRIED OREGANO IN WATER YET??

MY PRAYER GROUP ON THE FACEBOOK SAYS IT'S A MIRACLE CURE!

THREE DROPS OF OREGANO OIL IN A GLASS OF WATER, AND NO MORE COVID!

SOMEBODY TELL HIS DOCTORS!!1![/bold]

[quote]Please continue to pray for AFib and a miracle.

Oh, cheers for that sweetie but I don’t think another film is in the cards.

Speaking of weapons grade horse shit "cures", last year there wasn't a mustard seed to be found in Cincinnati in September.

Some retard was preaching that mustard seeds either prevent or cures the plague so every dumbass went out and bought up every fucking mustard seed in the whole fucking city.

I was trying to make my "hood famous" bread and butter pickles and I couldn't find one goddamned mustard seed ANYWHERE!

The neighbor had to bring some back from her trip to fucking LOUISVILLE!

I'm praying for his kidneys, too. Assuming he's an organ donor.

[quote]I was trying to make my "hood famous" bread and butter pickles and I couldn't find one goddamned mustard seed ANYWHERE!

Have you heard of this new thing called "online ordering?"

Have they checked with Jim Bakker to see if he has any miracle cure left?

What happened to that MAGA-endorsed treatment: injecting bleach and laser lights?

Sure, r162, and I would have ordered HAD I KNOWN that every fucking mustard seed in the goddamned city was gone.

But I didn't know. So I texted the neighbor and warned her (she makes dills and pickles peppers). She was back the next day with mustard seed for all.

Bezos can suck it.

r165 Bezos isn't the only source.

I absolutely will NOT give WalMart a cent.

Those trashy rethug cunts can eat shit and die of covid.

"Patriots, please go to the Trump COVID website and provide us with your credit card number. For a low monthly donation of $100, you will receive monthly advice on how to stay immune from this FAR-LEFT VIRUS!! (As seen on Dr. Oz show)"

Another front line casualty from the party of "Personal responsibility for thee, but not for ME".

His body, his choice. He CHOSE this. Per the GOP philosophy, he needs to suffer the consequences of his poor decisions.

I'm taking her to heart and praying for the AFib as well. Hopefully it takes him tonight.

Thanks for the progression, R156.

Have they tried giving him an infusion of blood from Jesus? I’ve seen posts on FB telling me that the blood of Jesus saves lives.

Google images shows he has the crazy eyes.

Is this a time to sing, "Papa, can you hear me"?

[quote] Google images shows he has the crazy eyes.

Not anymore.

Ooooh! Is he finally dead, r174?

No, but them eyes is shut.

The announcement that he had chosen to take a ventilator spa-day out of an abundance of caution was made last Wednesday. Based on what’s dribbled out (poor choice of words, sorry), I assume he’s a festering bag of sepsis by now.

It’s the ultimate hypocrisy. He denounced science and medicine but he was right there to hog a bed, vent, and every therapeutic they could throw at him. What is his family waiting for? There’s a long line of rubes who took his advice and need that bed right now; not to mention the true victims here, whose illnesses aren’t self-inflicted.

So, as far as his son feeling bad, as someone mentioned above, I doubt that you could extract an ounce of self-reflection from that whole crew combined. They’ll go on posting xenophobic memes, what-abouting, demanding prayers, and in the end they’ll blame his death on Democrats for not proactively mailing a supply of ivermectin to every US address, or claim that libtarded doctors killed him to increase the death count.

All these anti-vaxxer COVID deaths should be classified as suicide, and no life insurance benefits should be paid out.

R178 That made be chuckle because it’s true, it’s self inflicted and no different than refusing to put on a seat belt and drive over the speed limit with bad brakes.

I am sure insurance companies will do their best to not pay deplorable idiots.

Does faux news air any of these type of stories because deplorable idiots on other message boards think it’s made up liberal bs lol

Is he dead yet?

This was posted on another thread, but go ahead and read it while we wait for this toxic moron to finally have the plug pulled. It will give you hope in the interim.

Does anyone know which organs we're supposed to be praying for today?

I posted a partial recap of his last show somewhere upthread. In it, he was very sarcastic about how out of touch the doctor's office that did his COVID test was. He said he trusted the advice of a YouTube doctor (whose name he couldn't even remember, only that he was from Idaho) and LT 360.

LT 360, it turns out, is a local diet clinic which appears to push B12 drips, CBD, and "immunity pellets" as the cure for whatever ails ya. It's owned by a self-styled "Cellular Health and Life Coach," because...of course it is. I've just found his videos and they're exactly what you'd expect.

"Ah got advanced degrees and certifications, and ah know how ta read the medical littachurrr!"

This is where he placed his trust:

Is he, you know, like ummm… dead yet?

That Facebook video is appalling. That idiot claims at the start that he has “advanced degrees” and has talked with “countless doctors” who conclude the vaccines and mask wearing are of no value. By the time the video is ending he’s ranting about how wearing a mask is giving up your “god given freedoms”. People watch this shit, believe it, and look where we are today.

Still waiting...

Life coach? Well, he certainly "coached" his fellow MAGAt all the way to a ventilator. More like a death coach.

My pots and chairs go out to the family.

Just not the Le Creusets I assume.

I searched online earlier today hoping that the news was finally that he had croaked, as he so richly deserves. I was disappointed there was no news.

R192, think of it this of it this way: if his family had anything good to report, they would be screaming it from the rooftops. All they're doing now is demanding prayers for whatever new horror popped up the night before.

The last update, I believe, was that they were struggling to get the AFib under control. He apparently doesn't meet the criteria to be flown to an ECMO facility. So they will be throwing everything they've got at his heart to restore a (more) normal rhythm, the vent is doing the job of his lungs, and CRRT is doing the job of his kidneys.

Unfortunately, what helps one problem can create a new one elsewhere, so it becomes a precarious balancing act of trying to get an improvement in organ a without further damaging organ b while being mindful that organs y and z are on the ledge threatening to jump every time the slightest change is made. And all of this has to be done while playing whack-a-mole with a raging grease-fire of infections.

Meanwhile, the Youtube doctors and cellular-health coaches he trusted so much are probably secretly vaccinated and relaxing at the nineteenth hole right now.

I am utterly shocked that Cell-Coach Scott is reciting the Christian Patriarchy Movement handbook in his Father's Day message. Shocked!

Real men need to stand their ground and be "effective in [their] homes," because that's what god called them to do. They need to fight against the voices that tell them their family's rules are outdated and that they need to lighten up in those areas.

On his iPod

There’s finally an update. Things have changed from “pray for AFib” to “pray for Phil.”

I do feel terrible...

I feel terrible that this guy is unconscious and will never realize how wrong he was.

[quote] There’s finally an update. Things have changed from “pray for AFib” to “pray for Phil.”

So is that an upgrade, or a downgrade?

Oh, he knows, R197. While he was still conscious but clearly in trouble, he told his family that he regrets not having been vaccinated. These morons never learn from others' mistakes until it's too late.

The Texas GOP official who mocked masks and vaccines and immediately croaked of COVID at r183 — do you suppose there's a GoFundMe?

Oh mais oui.

His wife has COVID now too, and they're both incredibly fat.

[quote] These morons never learn from others' mistakes until it's too late.

And even then, only when it directly affects them. They have no concept of empathy.

Another one bites it...

[quote]WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former South Florida talk show host Dick Farrel, known and beloved by fans for his over-the-top right-wing opinions, has died from complications from COVID-19.

[quote]On Facebook, Farrel advocated against getting the coronavirus vaccine and was skeptical of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, and his recommendations concerning the coronavirus. Friends said after contracting the virus he changed his point of view.

Deplorables will learn nothing from any of these deaths and will continue to refuse to be vaccinated.

Cots and flares.

Heaven needed another illiterate angel with a heart of gold.

Don't they all.

One thing they seem to have in common, besides being idiots is that they are fat.

I guess instead of ‘folo the sci’ he should have followed the funerals.

“Folo the sci, peeps! You don’t need any stinking vaccines!

R208, Phil Valentine isn't fat.

[quote]Phil Valentine isn’t.

Fixed.

I don’t know if anyone has asked this, but is he dead yet?

[quote] I don’t know if anyone has asked this, but is he dead yet?

Hurry up! Other deplorable cunts need the bed.

[quote]Phil Valentine isn't fat.

Not after the crash diet he's been on recently.

Thanks for the good news, R202. Hopefully Phil doesn't last the weekend. Nice that stupidity and lack of empathy is wiping out these morons.

Well, at least he grew up to become a right winged troll, unlike the dead Indonesian kids, who may have grown up to become part of a research team, working on a cure for various cancers.

I is don’t want unvaccinated persons to die from this. And I certainly don’t wish any suffering on anyone from this illness. I hear it’s absolute hell, from those who survived, and I cannot even begin to imagine the devastation and regret one must feel when the doctor says that planning your own funeral is a good idea, “just in case”, all the while understanding that willful ignorance or your personality disorder (which allowed you to decide that profiting from a catastrophic illness & doubling down on bullshit, due to the endless spin one can contrive on some podcast), was a reasonable alternative to risking your own life.

I just cannot wrap my head around the collective lack of self preservation exhibited by millions who should have been on it, the moment vaccines became available.

This is a HORRIBLE illness to die from, and no one deserves the suffering that is necessary to eventually die from this.

It’s literally a form of medical intervention as a form of torture, which may or may not render a person dead, or not. Either way, it’s a risk that people who mindlessly snap on their seatbelts every time they get in their cars, should not take.

Sad and just unbelievable.

I hope he recovers and has an opportunity to rethink his life, his values, and change the game for the better.

[quote]There is a familiar thread in Noel Mayeux’s story. He, nor his wife, or their mother, had gotten vaccinated. [bold]“If I had known that we would’ve caught COVID, I probably would have gotten vaccinated a while back,”[/bold] said Sabrina Mayeux.

We are not dealing with the best and the brightest here.

And yes, to quote Taffy Davenport: "Fat. VERY fat."

R218, at least she doesn’t have to be fucked by the tub of lard any more

SHE"S a tub of lard herself R219 . And all of their piglets are mini tubs of lard.

As predicted, [italic]they[/italic] are conspiring against him. I mean, there's just no other explanation for how an anti-vax, anti-mask, cigar-smoking sexagenarian bug-chaser who put his faith in cell coaches, chiropractors, and YouTubers would find himself in trouble now.

[quote]I pray for the best but I can't help to think that maybe the hospital is making him worse and not allowing him to get better. I haver heard of this affecting aversion this much as healthy as Phil is. I could be wrong but it's on my mind. Also, haters, please keep your common yourselves. You are just taking up space where another positive comment can be.

[Quote]I haver heard of this affecting aversion this much as healthy as Phil is.

I suspect this person has had Covid and is demonstrating the lingering brain fog known to affect sufferers afterward.

Ah, maybe it’s the hospital making Phil sicker on purpose, since the doctors and nurses have got nothing better to do than sabotage him so he doesn’t recover quickly. Keeping him there maximizes hospital profits. He was in such great shape he could probably get out of bed, drive home, and recuperate naturally.

Quite frankly, if they’re so unhappy with the tx at the hospital, they should just rip the tubes out, haul him home and prop him up in his easy chair with a cigar in one hand and a shot of ivermectin in the other. And good luck. Save the hospital bed for someone who needs it and appreciates it.

These people are such sanctimonious assholes.

Thoughts and prayers. NOT

THOTS and Players.

So basically she’s accusing the hospital of murdering him. The hospital should kick him out. That’s a lawsuit in the making.

Don’t think they won’t. All his hospitalist doctor has to do is discharge him, or say they can’t help him any more, and they’ll pull the plug. They could insist he can’t be helped and discharge him to a hospice. The hospital is probably full, they could just say they can’t spare the bed and have to triage.

He dead.

Really, R228?

Link, please.

Unexpected that an anti-Vaxxer got sick and died from the very disease the vaccine would’ve protected him from?

I don’t think you know what unexpected means.

"Ex-Newsmax Host" = Domestic terrorism propaganda outlet host

R236, that was a quote from the article:

Farrel’s partner, Kit Farley, said on Facebook that he was “known as the other Rush Limbaugh. With a heavy heart, I can only say this was so unexpected. He will be missed.”

Why am I not weeping?

Oh, I know, r238.

It wasn’t directed at you. That’s where I copied the quote.

If this moron won't die, someone at least cheer us up by saying he will be suffering all the time until he does.

Prayers going back down. Return to sender. To anyone else considering this stunt, please be advised that we can only accept push-ups with a full range of motion at this time.

42% body fat tends to produce this type of exercise form, yes.

Did he really catch it from his son?

His son brought it home from a wedding where ten members of the wedding party, including the bride and groom, later tested positive.

At least that was the count when the story was being told, which I believe was on the Monday one week after the wedding weekend.

The son had symptoms on Wednesday and tested positive on Thursday. Phil had symptoms on Thursday and tested positive on Friday.

I wonder if the son feels any guilt.

So his Covid denying son killed him, that's gonna make Christmas awkward.

Fun for the whole family, R248!!

I wonder what this year's video will look like?

The possibilities for shitty Christmas songs are endless...

The RT comes and suctions me

These two lungs are gone, as you can see

I know just who — Sleepy Joe! — to blame for this catastrophe

But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be

All I want for Christmas is a lung that works, a lung that works; see, a lung that works

Gee, if I could only have a lung that works then I could wish you Merry Christmas

The anti-vaxxers won't care though. Two of my coworkers are anti-vaxxers. One of them was ranting last week that all the articles about Covid sceptics dying of Covid were a conspiracy to push a vaccination agenda and "force vaccines on a healthy population".

We've reached an age where these nutjobs are convinced everything is a conspiracy.

I work for a large -- huge company -- that makes scientific instruments to measure things, count things, and do [I]in vitro[/I] diagnostics. One of my co-workers and her husband are Q-anons who think it is all fake. When I heard this in an in-person meeting, I left. My manager later asked me to explain, and I did. I refuse to be in the same room with someone who thinks Covid-19 isn't real, won't wear a mask (she says has asthma), and won't get vaccinated. Fuck her. Fuck her right in her cooter.

Well, if this guy Valentine doesn't die, this right-wing radio host has... A right-wing radio host from Florida who publicly criticized vaccines told his friends to get vaccinated shortly before he died of COVID-19, according to NBC affiliate WPTV. Dick Farrell, who was also an anchor on Newsmax, frequently railed against vaccines on Facebook. “Why take a vax promoted by people who lied 2u all along about masks, where the virus came from and the death toll?” Farrell wrote on Facebook on July 3.

So many threads on DL about anti-vaxxers dying, I didn't search first. Is there a Farrell thread?

He’s only been mentioned three times in the thread already.

6 members of a Florida church die of Covid, yet many still refuse to get the vaccine. No sympathy if they die.

“Breaking,” huh, r253?

Muppet.

Every time a MAGAhead dies of COVID the Oompa-Loompas should sing a song on the perils of not being vaccinated as they drag the body away.

Well? IS HE DEAD YET?

R258 - Not so far, but DL has me checking his Twitter feed daily.

Monday is lung day.

[quote]Monday is lung day.

Well I'm not done praying for his kidneys yet, so fuck 'em.

Room for one more, honey.

[quote]DAYTONA BEACH -- Longtime radio talk-show host Marc Bernier has been hospitalized with COVID-19, according to a top official at WNDB (1150 AM, 93.5 FM).

[quote]"I don't have an update on him at this point, other than he has been hospitalized," said Mark McKinney, the station's operations director.

[quote]While he did not have specific knowledge of Bernier's vaccination status, McKinney said that the host has made his anti-vaccination opinions well known on the air.

[quote]"If you've listened to his show, you've heard him talk about how anti-vaccine he is on the air," said McKinney.

His last tweet:

His family is likely refusing to take him off of life support. At least that's usually what is happening when there have been no updates for a few days.

[quote] His family is likely refusing to take him off of life support. At least that's usually what is happening when there have been no updates for a few days.

Maybe somebody can trip over the cord and pull the power ‘accidentally’. “Ooops, sorry , I lost my balance”.

You people are terrible...

From r221...

The picture of him looks like Satan.

-Church Lady

R265, my dad was on life support. The nurses told me that it was typical to leave a person on a ventilator three weeks. After that, if you couldn’t wean them off, it caused wear and tear on them, and they started to get enough issues that they needed to be put on a permanent feeding tube. One nurse told me horror stories about that. She said people would get lots of infections and bedsores, pneumonia and they were basically just falling apart. Also, three things are connected: heart, lungs and kidneys. If any of them start to go, the others will follow because they can’t function without the other two.

My guess is they’ll give him three weeks on life support, and then start telling the family if he can’t be weaned off, it’s time to pull the plug. In regular times, they’d let it go on as long as possible, they’re getting tons of money. But they need the bed. Maybe they’ll do an intervention even sooner, depending on how full they are. If they’re doing triage, they might give them no choice.

Good for you @R252

oh wait there is another antivaxxer, right winger republican' who died. this pops up

That’s sad @R273

You got me, Bronzie.

She certainly has her work cut out for her with this crew.

JFC, r274, read the god damn thread.

He’s been mentioned numerous fucking times, you idiot.

So I read the entire damn tread just to see that he' s stll not dead yet?!? Really?

Come on, hurry up! They need yor bed!!!!!

He is dead @R278

My mistake @R278 He’s still alive

R278 if he survives he’ll become a proponent for the vaccine. So let’s hope he lives, not dies.

R281 you mean a proponent just like Tonald Drump?

Just die, already!! DIE!!

Even if he lives he'll never be the same, and his no-mask brats will have to live with the fact that they destroyed their father's life forever.

r281, his death will serve as a message about the vaccines. I hope he croaks or if he survives that he has long term physical issues from this. Karma is a fucking bitch sometimes and this is one of those cases where it is actually doing it's job.

R282 I prefer Tronald Dump

Anyway, what a waste of hospital resources on this ungrateful deplorable.

R285, did you see who signed r281?

[quote] it is actually doing it's job.

Oh, dear.

there are no updates on his condition. Which is weird?

[quote]there are no updates on his condition. Which is weird?

Translation: no change in condition, family has to decide when to pull the plug.

There are daily non-update updates. There's nothing left to say, so they just change the wording with each update and try to put a fresh spin on things.

Now the doctors are trying to "rehab his lungs." Good luck with that.

[quote]Friends..no major update today on Phil. He remains critically ill. We are in waiting mode as Doctors work hard to try and rehab his lungs. #PrayForPhil

Am I supposed to be praying now for his fucking lungs or his fucking kidneys?

I'd say his fucking soul, 'cause that's what he's going to need the prayers for most in short order.

I've got a new one for you, prayer warrior at R292: Port Orange City Councilmember and Florida Man Chase Tramont.

Please note that you are praying for him to no longer require oxygen. There's no specific mention of supplemental oxygen, so this prayer request appears to be for oxygen in general.

[quote]Asking for specific prayers tonight for Chase. He's been admitted to the hospital. They still have him on oxygen. If you would please say a specific prayer that he would no longer require any…

[quote]There's no specific mention of supplemental oxygen, so this prayer request appears to be for oxygen in general.

Well fuck that. I only pray for body parts.

[quote]Tramont's wife said she didn't want to discuss her husband's vaccination status.

I can get behind praying for him not to need oxygen anymore.

Yes, you're catching on, R297.

How many right wing radio talk show idiots have died from covid so far?

Not enough.

Here’s one — Rick Wiles — apparently survived because he was hospitalized in May

Die faster please.

these people are giving out HARMFUL information to their audiences, then these people go out and put others, including their children at risk.

WWRLD?

(What would Rush Limbaugh do?)

I agree, r303. Their actions have cost lives because they are given such a platform that people are dumb enough to believe it gives them some sort of credence. Celebrities, radio personalities, politicians, etch should not be allowed to discuss science unless they have credentials because most Americans are too ignorant to understand the science and want it spoon fed to them by these charlatans who just want listeners and will say anything without regard to consequences. The more of them that die off, the more lives will be saved if just one more person doesn't listen to their misinformation.

And yes, no updates mean that the family is in denial and don't want to pull the plug. They will though and soon. And then it will be all "please send your thoughts and prayers." No, he was a fucking monster who killed people for the sake of entertainment. He and those like him are no different than Charlie Manson. They get no sympathy from me.

[quote] He is dead @[R278]

R80 is this guy a radio host or Shrödenger’s cat?

Ugh I mean R280

And you misspelled Mr. Schrödinger’s name.

Very few people knew about that fucking cat until " Big Bang Theory." Now, when anyone mentions it, we can all assume that's where the thought originated.

I learned about him in high school, and that was decades ago.

R309, he cropped up in the writings of Carl Sagan and the pages of Omni Magazine.

He's been a cultural trope for generations.

[quote] Very few people knew about that fucking cat until " Big Bang Theory." Now, when anyone mentions it, we can all assume that's where the thought originated.

Some of have read books on quantum physics and did pay attention in high school physics, R309.

Well that’s nothing to brag about.

Schrodinger's pussy stinks.

R314, Schrödinger has all the bits and they may or may not stink. We just don't know.

While Phil was living his best life last night at the Williamson Medical Center, this horrifying scene played out at the local school board meeting.

Anyone who says they hope he survives and uses his platform to promote vaccines and masks needs to watch this and see how receptive his fan club would be. They're already calling the family sellouts and liars for claiming he's hospitalized when "everyone" knows he's off the air due to a contract dispute.

Part 1:

Part 2:

JFC.

In a nutshell: The GOP, thanks to Cambridge Analytica, learned how to mobilize stupid.

This is the result.

And this is going to be part of our political process for decades to come. Manipulating the mobs - the people whose social media profiles show them to possess the Dark Triad traits - to act out in response to the current hot button scare topic or fake news.

the family is not giving anymore updates. There is nothing about his condition.

I'm gonna pray for his lower colon today if ya'll don't mind.

Well, R314, it both does and doesn't stink.

Is it okay if I pray for the oxygen to be accompanied by a lit cigarette in the mouth of one of the bovine relatives on bedside deathwatch?

this is the ridiculous twitter feed of the family.

there last tweet, i think; unless there is another social media site.

he is against medication and vaccines, but he is in the hospital on MEDICATION. Fuck this con artist scumbag.

His sister is still posting private updates on her Facebook.

The guy filling in for him regurgitates her most recent update on his public account (see R291) and also at the beginning of his show every day before diving right in with the latest it's-just-a-bad-cold news.

Today, it was defending the loons at R316 and painting them as passionate parents just trying to protect their innocent babies.

Sometimes people who are on a ventilator for a few weeks can stabilize. They are a vegetable because they were without oxygen too long and are brain damaged, but remove the ventilator after their lungs have time to heal, and they can “survive,” if you can call it that.

In a pandemic, they’re not going to let this guy’s family live in a fantasy world forever. The family will probably fight to keep him on a ventilator, but there are only so many, and after three weeks they’re going to want to pull the plug. They need the ventilator for somebody who might live.

Watch the family complain that “Democrats” deliberately pulled the plug on this guy because he was “telling the truth” and they had to “silence him.”

Someone should start a Dead Covidiots thread and lets see how quickly we can reach 600.

3 First responders in FL died this week. Guess what they had in common?

I normally don't link Yahoo but this feels right.

Did they give him Ivermectin and lots of vitamin D and zink?

Remember this family got a lot of people killed because they purposely spread HARMFUL information about Covid, and other issues too.

[quote]3 First responders in FL died this week. Guess what they had in common?

Fat. Very FAT.

[quote]Did they give him Ivermectin and lots of vitamin D and zink?

He's on a Clorox IV drip.

Half way through that Twitter video at R316, that's a gay man (bald head in the pink shirt) leading the charge.

Sad.

Oregano in water! Don't forget that one. EIght drops in a glass of water and the COVID vanishes.

I wish we knew that. It would’ve been a lot cheaper.

Did we do this one?

WNDB Daytona Beach host Marc Bernier is the latest talk show host to be hospitalized with COVID-19. Bernier is not a fan of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Unfortunately, there are hundreds & hundreds of these rightwing radio guys across the country who are not getting it,

“Unfortunately”?

Look at it this way, R337. It’s five years from now. All these influential radio and talk show hosts with huge followings are dead.

Not that they can’t be replaced by yet another grifter, but these particular guys are listened to and admired by many fans. They tell everyone not to get a vaccine. Then they die. Some people will learn from that.

Republicans generally don’t give a shit what happens to anyone, unless it’s someone they think of as being within their circle of acquaintance. If they listen to a certain guy’s radio show every day, and he says never get a vaccine no matter what, I never will, and then he gets Covid and dies, it’s kind of like it happened to somebody they know.

By this time, they know the guy’s family situation, religious beliefs, who they voted for and everything else. No one can say these guys were Antifa or whatever. People know them. So it might do some good for people who are truly ignorant because they live their lives in an echo chamber. It won’t help the Qanons, but that’s just Darwinism at work.

Is he dead yet?

Anyone know what body part we’re praying for today? Don’t want to waste a prayer.

If no one answers you soon, r341, pray for my tummy so your prayer doesn’t go wasted.

Oh, to be clear, I want it smaller.

Brace yourselves. We’re about to get owned.

[quote]Please pray for a miracle for Phil right now.

Today we ask our prayer warriors to focus their prayers on Brother Valentine's left testicle.

Dammit! I already prayed for two other people’s left testicle. I don’t want to be redundant to you-know-who.

Ah, R345, is there a limit to daily testicle related prayers? Do other body parts get more prayers?

If yall want to pray for genitals,pray my poor cock doesnt sink any lower into the fat surrounding it. Its beginning to resemble a clit !

I know the feeling.

The suspense is terrible!

I hope it'll last.

The one good thing about the Delta Variation and all future ones is that right wingers who won't get the vaccine can all die. Maybe by the time this is over the Democrats can win a few more red states.

Is he dead yet? I hope his family has enough money to pay these bills. But given that he looks like trash my guess is they’ll be a go fund me page

[quote]Oh, to be clear, I want it smaller.

But were you clear with Jesus when you sent that prayer? I'm guessing you were not.

The family keeps asking for these prayers. I don't understand. If they have to keep asking for them, is there some goal of number of prayers needed before a god decides to do something? Is this like selling candy bars to get to go on the Disney trip for marching band?

[quote]Is he dead yet?

He's fine! He sends his love!

I condole him.

I love r354 aka Aunt Jacky.

He’s on the roof.

DRINK THE JUICE, PHIL!!!!!

Maybe Bai Ling will push him off, r357.

what's the update?

Perhaps god cares more about the innocent children, elderly and others who were purposely infected and are fighting for their lives by this scumbag?

The update from his sister is at R343. Praying for organs is over and we're supposed to pray for a Miracle now.

Pick a Miracle, any Miracle.

He is a terrible human being. He got so many people killed. Covid is a terrible illness, people suffer and some have long-term, debilitating symptoms.

I know a woman who is in her 30's who had it and was hospitalized in the spring for 12 days. She is now having to get a pacemaker implanted.

I hope someone is telling his family that their prayers WERE answered...back at the beginning of the year when effective vaccines were distributed to keep people from getting severely ill. They didn't accept the answer to their prayer; why should they get more?

R361 I’m praying for a Miracle (Whip)

There is now a 4th or 5 rigjt wing radio host hospitalized in Florida. I was surprised these dicks are true believers. I just assumed grifters.

Still alive? Tick motherfucking tock.

R364

[quote] I hope his family has enough money to pay these bills. But given that he looks like trash my guess is they’ll be a go fund me page

Nah. The gub’mint will handle it.

But we hate socialism!

I think they're hesitant to pull the plug just so he can be alive ffor Reinstatement Day. It's what he would have wanted.

Excellent post r364. So true. Reminds me of the story of the guy who was stranding in flooding (I know most of you read this story). A plane, a boat and a helicopter passed by to pick him up, and to each he answered, “God will save me!” Of course he dies, and in heaven he asks God, “why didn’t you save me?” And God says, “I sent you a plane, a boat and a helicopter!”

But that story sounds much nicer in Italian.

Had considered posting that, R371.

You got the damn vaccines. What more do you want? And, yet that is precisely what the idiot friend of a friend of mine said when explaining that she wasn’t getting a vaccine. “God will save me.”

🤷‍♂️

[quote] I love that it’s one of the things they list as being “way off,” like AFib is ever right on.

Stable AFib is manageable. Rapid AFib is far more dangerous & different kinds of approaches might be used. Medication, ablation, cardioversion. He’s in bad, bad shape.

[quote] The family keeps asking for these prayers. I don't understand. If they have to keep asking for them, is there some goal of number of prayers needed before a god decides to do something

Yup. But you don’t know how many prayers that is. Only god knows. My mother instructed me on this years ago as she claims to have saved my uncle’s life because she & her sister prayed the rosary every day.

“But mom…you and aunt Mary pray the rosary every day at 3 pm.”

“We prayed two rosaries a day for Uncle Bob. And we lit candles at the church and made novenas.”

“You’re retired. What about people who can’t do all this praying and candle lighting because they have 2 jobs? Will they’re family member die?”

“God takes into consideration how much time you have to pray.”

“But what about Uncle Bill and Uncle Joe? They died. Why didn’t your prayers work for them?”

“They had terminal cancer. They were always going to die.”

“Then why bother praying for them?”

“To help them live longer.”

“Uncle Joe went pretty quickly at 8 months. Uncle Bill lasted over 2 years. Did you pray differently for them?”

“Maybe”

[quote] Will they’re family member die?

Oh dear. I did that

The kidneys weren't happy with The Miracles were getting all the attention. Today's update:

[quote]From Susan: Please pray for Phil's kidney numbers today.

I'm praying hard for those kidney numbers. Not because I care about Phil--but I played those numbers in the Lotto.

He could have prevented all this suffering by getting himself vaccinated against COVID, but instead he chose to mock the vaccine.

Gee, you’re like a wizard, r379.

I guess that’s why the thread was started.

Son appears to have a mugshot, oddly enough. He should just start an OnlyFans to help pay for dad's hospital stay. Seems like the right thing to do.

Hi, Phil? I have a request. Would you please play…

Oh shit.

I prayed for his kidney-shaped swimming pool.

My bad.

When is this dude going to die? I wanted to start my weekend off on a good note and it's been a few days since I got my "another conservative radio host dies" fix.

I thought the problem were his lungs and now his kidney too? His heart will be next.

His heart belongs to Jesus already. Just pray for kidneys today like his sister asked you to, please. She’s in charge of his recovery and we should trust she knows God’s will the best.

[quote] Son appears to have a mugshot, oddly enough.

What was he doing, sucking dick in a public park?

Those lips were made for suckin'!

Campbell definitely looks like a cookie sniffer.

R388, the initial prayer demands for his kidneys started right after he went on the vent. It's common for mechanically ventilated COVID patients to develop rapidly progressive acute kidney injury.

I'm guessing the family hasn't mentioned his kidneys that often recently because CRRT has given them a false sense of security as they've focused on the other grease fires breaking out all over the place.

[quote]Campbell definitely looks like a cookie sniffer.

Have you seen his nose in profile? He could pull an entire Nabisco factory off its foundation if he sniffed hard enough.

^^Dayum.

Pressley Stutts (yes, I know), head of the Greenville County Republican Party has also decided to deep-throat the cuff, and he'd like you to know that it is his "OWN decision" and that he "WILL wake up from this short rest!"

He allegedly posted anti-vax memes from his ICU bed, which, if true, puts him several strides ahead of the rest of the GQP Vent Team. His wife, who has Parkinson's, is also infected.

Prayeredses going up!

I love the "#HermanCainAward" hashtag.

He’s going to “wake up from this short rest”? More like he’ll be “ready for my dirt nap”.

Pressley is extra speshul. From Sunday's update:

[quote]Now, I need you to begin to pray VERY SPECIFICALLY that I will be able to get well and make it out of here in 3 days or less. If it was good enough for Jesus in overcoming the grave, who am I to deny that this same power which lives in him, lives in me, right?

Two paragraphs later, three days isn't good enough for him:

[quote]So here is where I need you to have a specific shift in your prayers, please. Humbly ask God to heal me and get me out of this hospital today! Would you do that please? Pray it expectantly!

None of these hypocrite "Christians" have any understanding of prayer. You don't pray for a specific outcome... you pray for the strength to accept God's will, whatever it may be. And in these cases, it is clearly God's will that these morons suffer on earth for weeks before rotting in hell for eternity.

God’s will is these conservatives going straight to hell

To my kids and wife, I love you. (But not enough to get a vaccine that would have saved us all from this scenario).

And what’s with the demands that God fix you? Bitch, it’s his will that you’re in this mess.

Maybe the fam should start praying to satan because this is where they are all heading.

They're in for a surprise when they're asked for a proof of vaccination by St. Peter.

I started knitting a scarf for him because I thought he would be there for less than a week.

Then it turned into a sweater.

Then a coat.

Now I've knitted him a 3-piece suit!

When will it end????

Just DIE already!!! *oh shit. did i just say that?*

Here's what I don't get.

He had a wife, three sons, multiple homes, and a job that made him lots of money.

You would THINK he would protect his life and everything he had, by getting vaccinated.

Now it's all gone. And all he needed to avoid this was a shot in the arm.

It is not like this Phil Valentine guy was some moron who did not have access to scientific and public health information.

He is a Sociopath and a Con Artist. He purposely acted to spread covid among Americans by undermining science and public health. This lead to people ( including children) to get very sick, hospitalized and die. It is a brutal illness. He and his whole family knew this and continue dangerous propaganda activities.

Phil Valentine would still be doing this, if he wasn't in a hospital.

"God gave us natural immunity to everything!"

As a Christian, I find the attitude that prayer is a way of ordering around the Almighty highly offensive. And I think prayer is a wonderful, powerful thing. When I was hovering between life and death four years ago I absolutely felt uplifted by the prayers of of my church. And those prayers gave me strength and helped me have some peace with whatever the outcome was going to be. At no point is it OK to treat the Deity like a wayward servant that you just need to yell increasingly specific instruction at in order to control.

And regarding this idea that the Lord should only save you via a miraculous and fancy way rather than through pedestrian means, there’s a Biblical story specifically on this topic which these modern day Naamans would be wise to read.

That Presley Stutts link led me to the GOP COVID UPDATES Twitter account! Promises to be a delicious one-stop shop for QOVID nonsense!

r403 Why didn't you knit him a cheerful glucose cozy for his IV bottle?

R221, they’ve been so head fucked, they no longer see straight.

It’s unfair to make fun of them because their inability to face the truth as they lay dying is precisely what makes them vulnerable to infections and infecting as well as why they’re gonna continue dying.

If they are against modern medicine why these fucking psycho con artists in a HOSPITAL. They are sociopathic, pathological liars and con artists.

Please get VACINATED. Do not listen to Con Artists. Save your lives and Save children lives too (children are not vaccinated and are vulnerable).

EVERYONE do your part.

ALL HANDS ON DECK!

We told you REPEATEDLY to get vaccinated. We told you repeatedly to stop spreading HARMFUL MISINFORMATION. You had plenty of chances. This phil valentine psycho would still be conducting propaganda activities too, if not laid up in a hospital.

Dear GOD, Jesus and that dove bird spirit,

SAVE THE CHILDREN.

SAVE THE ELDERLY.

SAVE PEOPLE WHO DID EVERYTHING TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THIS DANGEROUS ILLNESS.

This is my pray. This is my action in this world. I walk my talk.

Please get your Covid Vaccination.

Make an appointment and just do it.

Save your LIFE.

Save Children too.

PLEASE!

Here's an update on the freak at R113.

MedFlight was mobilized for him, he took up a bed and vent for fifty-five days, he got a liver transplant, and according to the article at R113 he had changed his tune. Oh, wait. Here's what he did next:

He rolled into the Tennessee House of Representatives in his wheelchair, renewed his oath of office, and...

[quote]Byrd made no mention of those who did die after being convinced by pandemic-denying elected officials such as himself that COVID is just like the flu. Byrd uttered not a syllable of apology for having contributed in however small a way to the deaths of hundreds of thousands by hampering our fight against the virus.

[quote]In failing to voice any concern for the effect his words and deeds as an elected official might have had on others, Byrd initially seemed just a typically monstrous minimizer who has suddenly decided that “COVID is real and it is very dangerous” after it nearly killed him.

[quote]But Byrd has now outdone himself and proven to be among the lowest of the low.

[quote]On Wednesday night, [bold]Byrd joined all 73 members of the House Republican caucus in petitioning Gov. Bill Lee to call a special session of the legislature to prohibit local mask mandates and keep businesses from barring the unvaccinated.[/bold]

This is what happens when they recover.

R366 I thought the same! I thought for sure they all secretly had the vax and kept it quiet. I can't believe I overestimated these people.

Guy at R414 is lost. Not physically, apparently, because he recovered. But in other ways? Lost. That's some kind of denial right there, utter weakness and inability to face the enormity of what almost happened to him - and what he has certainly helped to happen to others.

r414 David Byrd is truly evil.

But his hair looks nice.

What a filthy piece of shit.

Let's buy him some celebratory jars of moonshine for his victory over the viral hoax.

I like how Presley Stutts came back three days later to tell everyone that the reason he wasn’t getting better was that they weren’t praying correctly. I wonder how many adjusted their prayers to fit the more specific instructions. God can be a fussy bitch, and if want anything from HIM you better come correct. Of course sometimes god just says NO.

Evangelical response to "prayer" vs vaccine:

For evangelicals, the crux of the vaccine question does not hinge upon trust in a particular political party or agenda, but upon our response to God’s workmanship in creation. With trust in God as the creator of the complex harmony we observe in the creation, we can receive the vaccine as a divine gift.

How does all of this relate to our discernment about vaccines in our contemporary moment? Many of my fellow evangelicals hesitate about the COVID-19 vaccine because they worry about government overreach. They note the painful economic consequences of the government-imposed shutdowns and worry that the government “messaging” has been inconsistent during different points in the pandemic. If one disapproves of the government response to the pandemic, why trust the vaccine?

While these concerns can arise from genuine hardship, if we believe a biblical “creational theology,” they are actually beside the point. Yes, the development, testing, and distribution of the various vaccines have involved government support and coordination—first from a Republican president, and then a Democratic one, as well as from other governments around the globe that don’t fit American partisan categories. But no president or governor or mayor did the hard work of investigation—the thousands of hours of inquiry and observation and testing carried out by scientists around the world.

As evangelicals who affirm that this order and complexity are part of God’s design, that humans are created in God’s image to rejoice in and discover creation, we have all the more reason to cherish the past year’s scientific progress. The decision about whether to get the vaccines based on this research is not a question about whether we approve of the president, governor, or mayor. For followers of Jesus, it’s a question of whether we trust in the order and design of creation that makes scientific understanding possible, as scientists from around the globe have paid deep and close attention to the “theater of God’s glory” in creation.

Any updates regarding Phil?

Isn't this MF dead already?

Karma, you're slipping here.

Francisco Franco didn't hold on this long.

[quote] This lead to people

Oh, dear!

And if Phil or Presley somehow miraculously recovered, they would tout the power of prayer over any vaccines.

Almost infuriating, except I don’t have the energy today.

Quote from the article at R42: Evangelicals “… worry that the government “messaging” has been inconsistent during different points in the pandemic.”

You want inconsistent? Try reading the Bible.

Without guidance on which organ to pray for today, I’m praying for Phil’s spleen. It’s been neglected on previous days.

R29 Mary!

Nothing but a breath — a comma — separates life from life everlasting. It is very simple really. With the original punctuation restored, death is no longer something to act out on a stage, with exclamation points. It’s a comma, a pause.

This way, the uncompromising way, one learns something from this poem, wouldn’t you say? Life, death. Soul, God. Past, present. Not insuperable barriers, not semicolons, just a comma.

Whuuuut?

R431, you have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm embarrassed for you.

It’s time for a little palate cleanser.

Pressley Stutts: A Play in 24 Out-of-Order Acts

R434- wow he says we must specifically pray for him to get out in three days.

How’d that work out?

What’s going on with Phil?

[quote]What’s going on with Phil?

Let's just say that broccoli is no longer his wife's favorite vegetable.

His schedule is light at the moment, R436. All he has going on is CRRT hum and the constant pssshh-bmp-bmp of the vent. The most exciting parts are the occasional beep-boop of the former and the high-pressure alarm of the latter when the tubing gets blocked by his secretions. And don't forget, he's listening to what's being said at his bedside.

But, hey, he did a risk assessment and determined that getting the vaccine would be so much more unpleasant.

[italic] I like how Presley Stutts came back three days later to tell everyone that the reason he wasn’t getting better was that they weren’t praying correctly. I wonder how many adjusted their prayers to fit the more specific instructions.

Isn't it hilarious how many American conservative Christian males think God would NEVER give them the 'gift' of humility, or discernment to reflect on their errors and life experiences. It's like they call their ego 'God', think their ego dictated the Bible to dozens of scribes to undergo dozens of translations, and anything bad that happens to them cannot be the result of their actions, but those of umpteen strangers.

[quote] Anyone know what body part we’re praying for today? Don’t want to waste a prayer.

I just said a quick prayer for his lower GI tract, he was getting a bit gassy

Did you pray that he would be a lot gassy?

No one's praying for his rectum? I thought that was you queens' favorite body part.

for the love of god, con artist family, shut the fuck up.

And for the rest of you, Please Get Vaccinated.

Make you Covid vaccination appointment TODAY.

[quote] You want inconsistent? Try reading the Bible.

Like Far Right Evangelicals ever crack that thing open to read. It's just a prop for thumping at people you don't like!

what is the news on this?

Is he dead yet?

this family and friends are trying to blame this on Mexican and South American Children now. These people, all of them, are violent sociopaths.

I'm praying that they fix the vent in his spleen.

I haven't waited so long for a death since Passion.

the backstory on phil valentine, the family and friends is this:

They were attacking Dr. Fauci. They not only did NOT want to listen to one of the leading Virologists, Vaccine Scientists and Public Health Experts in the world, they were directly attacking him. This family/show audience were not ignorant at all. They were violent. They were organizing a mob against Public Health Experts. People who were trying to save all of us.

HEY!

Cunt family!

He’s DEAD!

Pull the plug and give over the bed to someone who has a chance!

This tweet was posted today.

The fool actually thinks his lungs are going to heal at this point? How long has be been vented and on the bypass machine now?

"Now," R447? His brother was putting on the big "my brother has regrets" performance for CNN and NPR while simultaneously posting memes about variants coming across the border. That was in July.

So we’re back to praying for his lungs again?

Damn, r455. I have tears.

R455 I said a prayer for his balls, just in case he’s starting to get blue balls, from being in the hospital so long and unable to rub one out.

The request at r452 for lung prayers was from his radio fill-in on the 13th, which is the same day his wife wanted kidney prayers. (See r377.)

Be extremely careful in the instructions to your cagemeat prayer-chain teams. If you have them praying for lungs on kidney day, or vice versa, who knows what will happen?

I’m warning you NOW, so I don’t have to condole you THEN.

R458- So many fat guys, one unprotected prayer chain!!!

What more could Beelzebub want to rub his hands in GLEE with such unsupple middle-aged arms, thighs. and big-ass stomachs Covid sweat could cover their every square centimeter of flesh and seep into all of their expanded fat flesh pores!!! The virus wants more, More, MORE of the fat, fleshy, sweaty pores!!!

Satan would like NOTHING LESS than for you to leave those horrid, sweaty CO2 masks (wait, you DIDN'T put them on? That was the deal!!!) behind as we all join in the sweatiest, most jammed up

I’m praying for his left butt cheek because after so long in the hospital bed he has bad bed ulcers on his backside

[quote] How long has be been vented and on the bypass machine now?

It’s been over three weeks.

Nah, I'm good.

[quote] It’s been over three weeks.

Chances are very very slim he's getting out of this alive.

The slimmer the better.

I like that he got a liver transplant too - possibly robbing some more deserving candidate for a transplant … and all because scientific reality clashes with his culture-war priorities.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Someone remind me. Have we read about ANYONE who was fully jabbed and got Covid and died? Anyone at all?

We need to stop hoping for his demise.

I think all of this energy towards Phil, is flowing to him.

If we ignore him, and forget about him for a few weeks, I'm pretty sure that's when it'll happen.

Our own Scarlet Liberace must have been hissing up a storm when he found out the ICU doesn't offer red silk sheets.

I could make an ugly joke about ECMO beds being the ones that sometimes get the red sheets, but I would never say such a horrible thing. Never!

[quote]Someone remind me. Have we read about ANYONE who was fully jabbed and got Covid and died? Anyone at all?

A few immunocompromised people in nursing homes have passed away. There's been a few vaccinated people dying of COVID in South America who got the Coronavax vaccine (Chinese version), which seems to offer limited protection against the Delta variant.

Not that many to mention.

Those illegal immigrants came over the border and forced me to NOT get vaccinated against COVID!

And another group of idiots

Today's update comes courtesy of the dumpling-faced Pamela Furr. She spoke to the family this morning and there's nothing new to report -- kidney issues, lung issues, gravely ill, pray.

A sincere and heartfelt message:

R473 These people are the definition of selfish narcissists. I hope insurance companies stop paying the medical bills of anyone eligible that refuses to get vaxxed.

This would almost be funny if so many dead people weren't involved.

The NY Times recently published a table listing the number of vaccinated people in each state who caught Covid and died.

Frankly, the numbers are high enough to make me reconsider my plan to attend a large county fair in a red county. I don't need cheese curds badly enough to risk a breakthrough infection/possible death.

[quote] Someone remind me. Have we read about ANYONE who was fully jabbed and got Covid and died? Anyone at all?

Here's story about a flight attendant who got covid and died 2 days ago. His family says he was fully vaccinated.

[quote]Here's story about a flight attendant who got covid and died 2 days ago. His family says he was fully vaccinated.

A strong argument for not flying Southwest.

[quote]pray

Damn! They didn’t say which body part though.

[quote] [bold]His family says[/bold] he was fully vaccinated.

What did the CDC say?

Poor guy, he’s not old or a fatty and rona still took him out.

This is why I am still taking precautions, the jab is not a guarantee.

Yeah nobody checked my ID on either shot. So while I have a card, I have no proof it was me. And if I wasn't vaccinated and had to be hospitalized, I sure wouldn't admit it

[quote] Poor guy, he’s not old

He’s in his sixties, man!! His sixties. That’s WAY past Eldergay status.

[quote]I’m praying for his left butt cheek because after so long in the hospital bed he has bad bed ulcers on his backside

My understanding is that most Covid-19 patients are ventilated face-down, though I suppose it depends on the hospital and patient.

They are sticking it to the libs in Hell right now.

R485 Mea culpa, let me switch to DL speak; he was ancient but not quite Paleolithic age.

[quote]What did the CDC say?

Why do you think the CDC would know? Unlike the rest of the civilized world, we don't have any way of tracking things like this at the national level.

Yes, the CDC is tracking breakthrough infections that result in hospitalization or death.

OK, but how would they know if he was vaccinated?

If his attending physician reported to them he was vaccinated, they would know.

You go get a jab, you don’t think they keep and transmit those records?

He might have gotten the JJ. Has it been verified that he received the vaccine and which ones. Anti-vaxxers are lying.

Medical Doctors are concern about breakthrough illness among the immuno-suppressed. There is a booster shot now for them.

R486, ARDS patients are proned to improve gas exchange, which in the vast majority of cases rules them out for air transport as the carriers have always had a rule that they only fly supine patients. Since COVID, some have experimented with flying prone patients. Without going off on a tangent, it's much more complicated than it might seem.

When ECMO first came up, his brother posted that Phil had been able to be supine for a few hours the day before. He seemed to think that was going to be their entree into an ECMO facility, but it wasn't.

Meanwhile, a conspiracy podcaster died today. On July 27th, dyspneic and pouring sweat, he said:

[quote]I just feel that it's a real bad cold. Remember those? Remember colds? Ah, remember colds? Remember colds? Oh my gosh, remember colds? But you know, with the way the world is now, and everyone's all hyped up with media nonsense about COVID and stuff, you know, you get a slight cough and everyone's like, "Oh my god, I've got it. I've got COVID." So is it possible I've got COVID? Of course. Is it likely? NO!

Insurance companies should refuse to pay for the unvaccinated. When I was self-employed and turned 60 my premiums shot up like a rocket. In other words: insurance companies do what they want based on actuarial data (so my advanced age was a concern I suppose). So why wouldn't the unvaccinated by high risk and at minimum have their premiums raised? And stop with the GFM bullshit!

I do think the key is getting insurance companies to start charging higher premiums or drop the unvaccinated altogether.

If you want to be stupid so be it at your own expense.

I don’t think insurance companies can change rules mid year, R495. Let's see what happens when they have open enrollment this fall for 2021 coverage — hopefully they’ll drop the hammer on the unvaccinated.

^ True-- forgot about open enrollment. Thanks for the reminder. But by October or November when open enrollment begins, I would bet COVID will still be going strong and the vaccination rates will still suck.

r492, if he was vaccinated, they would have the record of the date, time, type of vaccine, lot number, name of the person administering it, etc. I had it at the medical center and it was in my record that day. I got the third shot at a pharmacy and it was in my medical record the next day.

Isn’t that what I said?

[quote] So is it possible I've got COVID? Of course. Is it likely? NO!

Guess what? You were wrong, champ.

Yes, dear. I was adding data to support your post. Now relax.

Oh, I’m relaxed, I really am.

I just honestly wasn’t sure if you referenced the wrong R# or what.

No problem on this end.

Apt choice of words.

Just pull the plug already. He's gone.

We don't want to have to start a second thread.

We need the bandwith!

I know someone who got COVID after being vaccinated. Three days in the hospital with supplemental oxygen and was discharged yesterday. Very weak but at home resting comfortably and breathing on his own. Slightly elevated blood pressure

What organs did you pray for on those 3 days, R513? Phil’s sister wants to know.

[quote] I'm praying for Claudette.

She’s a pretty little thing, Claudette.

Most people have group insurance plans through an employer. They don't charge different rates for different people. I don't know where you [eople are getting the idea that they could raise rates for the unvaccinated.

DEATH WATCH

[quote] Most people have group insurance plans through an employer. They don't charge different rates for different people.

They absolutely, positively do.

There are premiums one must pay if you’re a smoker, for example. If you don’t take a health assessment, etc. My company’s plan is that way.

Baby save up all your tears

You might need them someday

When the tears start to fall

I won't wipe them away

When you cry in the night

For the love that you need

Baby, save up your tears

'Cause you'll be crying over me

Wrong, R516. I worked in a large hospital and they charged smokers higher premiums. Some years they even asked everyone take a urine test to identify the tobacco users. The test was optional, but anyone who refused was automatically charged a one time annual fee of $1200.

R518 and R520, you're confusing the premiums charged by the insurance company with the amounts made employee responsibility by your employer. Employers can indeed have different contribution rates based on whatever hoops they want to have employees jump through including tobacco usage, health assessments, etc. Insurers themselves come up with a set of rates for an employee group based on the entire group's health experience. Insurers can vary rates for certain health conditions on Individual (non-employer based) policies, but it would be very rare to do so by employer group. It involves a lot of extra administrative work for both the group and the insurer.

The hospital I worked for was self-insured, R521. No insurance company.

Right, R520/R522; same sort of thing. They were paying for their own group's claims so they could choose to split up the premium payments to employees however they chose to administer them.

Ugh

All this insurance talk is making me dizzy.

Phil could you just kick off already?

The daily update:

[quote]Here is the latest on Phil's condition. He has weathered several storms over the past several days and his condition is now 'guarded but critically stable'. Time is what Phil needs now. His lungs will eventually begin to heal if no other intervening issues complicate things. Time is what we need to pray for now...time to heal. If his lungs begin to show signs of improvement, then we will post that immediately. Otherwise, you can assume that he remains critical but stable. Thank you all for getting us to this point with your prayers. His battle continues to be very much uphill, but he is fighting like you can't imagine.

"Critically stable" is not language that a doctor should ever use with a patient's family. There have been written advisories about the use of "stable" in general, because most families choose to view it as a positive descriptor.

So now they've been given ammunition to use against any other doctor who tries to give them an honest assessment of his prognosis: "But Dr. Plorable said he's stable! Why are you trying to murder him when he's STABLE!?!?!"

Then again, maybe there's a team of Dr. Plorables caring for him and even more Plorables on the hospital's ethics committee, and they can't bear to lose him so soon after having Rush Limbaugh torn out of their tear-soaked hands.

Thanks for clarifying "critically stable." I hadn't heard that one before. Ah, indeed, they'll use it as ammo rather than accepting "God's will" as good Christians are supposed to. Sigh.

With all this insurance talk, what kind of out of pocket expenses do families face for such prolonged and complicated hospitalizations?

What in the hell is "critically stable"?? Someone please explain!

[quote]What in the hell is "critically stable"?? Someone please explain!

In medical terminology, it means "he's not dead yet."

Maybe he’s stably critical? Is that better?

Critical = UNstable vitals outside the normal range; unfavorable indicators.

"Critically stable" is sometimes used behind the scenes as shorthand to convey that a critically ill patient has made it through the day without a new disaster cropping up. It's only relevant to the past and says nothing about what might happen in the next five minutes.

We're human, we can't live forever.

DL We need to form a prayer group and start getting some results, we can’t allow this situation to progress beyond 600 posts.

I am praying that his ass recovers so he can feel the fire of hell in the spot that did his thinking.

Critical, The patient has unstable vital signs that are not normal, and could be unconscious.

Critical,

Critical but Stable: Patient vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.

i think the fam is making shit up with this weird term. I think they have tried everything, but he is unconscious with unstable vitals. He is not recovering at all. He is not responding to treatment.

He will be fine and will return to work very soon.

[quote]i think the fam is making shit up with this weird term.

It's a term that's used (without the "guarded"), but it shouldn't have been with them. Doctors slip up and/or stupidly try to placate family members who are pushing them for answers they can't possibly provide.

People have been conditioned to hang their hopes on labels of "critical," "fair," "good" when there's so much nuance involved that the entire exercise is meaningless.

i am sure the family was told he is not responding to treatment. He is in the ICU, still unconscious. They are lying to get money.

[quote]i am sure the family was told he is not responding to treatment.

Well yeah, they've said as much:

[quote]His lungs will eventually begin to heal if no other intervening issues complicate things.

Just like they said it was his decision to go on the vent, when those of us who know the protocols for speaking to families, know that they would have been told that he was now at the stage in which he was exhausting himself (true) trying to breathe with BiPAP (true) and that mechanical ventilation would alleviate the physical exertion (true) by doing the breathing for him (true) so that his lungs would have a chance to heal (true; "a chance," as opposed to "no chance" without it)

They can say it was a decision made out of an abundance of caution, to help him rest and give his lungs a break — each is true, just entirely devoid of context. Remove the smoke and mirrors, and it was a decision between the vent or imminent death.

Have his lungs made the decision yet that they need to be swapped out with donor lungs that should really be going to someone else?

I'm noticing that all moron's families give a laundry list comorbidities after their antivaxee dies. Still trying to downplay the virus. Have these guys done that with him?

r7 he said himself that it would be embarrassing if he died of Covid so they are covering their ass by saying that

I have a feeling that the family is secretly securing organ transplants for this asshole.

Then when they go through with the surgeries and he comes out of it okay, they can claim "It's a MIRACLE!!!"

Fucking fraudsters.

what was the update about this?

I've lost track of which organs we're supposed to be praying for now.

R546, I think all of them need a prayer or two. Sigh, just so much needless suffering. He'll get his freedom to his dying breath it seems, but I can't imagine him wanting this outcome.

I used to be a bit gleeful to read about these situations, but now I'm just tired and sad.

He was "critical but stable" back on August 2nd. He's not getting better. He's taking up a valuable bed. Put him in the goddamned stereo cabinet.

BTW, "grave" is worse than "critical". Critical means that the patient may recover. Grave means ominous -- the patient is not seen as likely to recover.

The vast majority of American hospitals adhere to the American Hospital Association’s guidelines and try like hell to get their employees to stick with the AHA's one-word conditions, as is. Under those guidelines, the only approved conditions for living patients are: undetermined, good, fair, serious, and critical.

Someone can use "grave," "a little icky," "calm, carefree, n' critical," or "face down, ass up" if they want violate an agreement they've signed off on and complicate an already shitty system, but those aren't recognized terms.

Critically he’s a table?

Meanwhile some poor bastard is lying on a cart in the hall hoping to get a room. What a waste of literal oxygen

Where is Jesus in all this??????!!!!!!

It seems more like Jesus hates him too

"What's his condition?"

"Stable."

"Oh, you mean he's going to get better?"

"No, I mean he looks like pile of shit a horse has been standing on."

The virus is a hoax!

The vaccine is a hoax!

Now send us money for Dad's funeral expenses.

[quote] Put him in the goddamned stereo cabinet

Heee…heeee

He is anti-science/medical, but he ran to the hospital. He is a SOCIOPATH, PATHOLOGICAL LIAR and a CON ARTIST.

This person lead to so many people being killed. Also, they organized the group that tried to attack Public Health Experts and Scientists. Those who worked their asses off developing a vaccine and PH Measures.

This is all part of God's plan

I feel guilty that I come here several times a day to check if he's dead yet.

I feel irritated. Can someone notify the family so that they pull the plug before we have to create a second thread?

Dont feel bad R559 .Every time I see its moved on my thread watcher,I get pissed when I come in and its the same old shit ! Dont bump this thread till the fuck wad has popped his cork !

I check often, too, but I don't feel guilty. Ditto for the Cardinal Burke thread. Not for these dangerous, power-addicted, narcissistic toads. I do feel for the lady in rural Louisiana who was furious with herself for not getting the vaccine.

he is in "grave" condition. Con Artist family was caught lying, and this has been corrected. He is not expected to make a recovery.

That's nothing, R559. I arranged things so that I was back inside my office at noon to listen to the update. I'll try again at one when the more verbose guy takes over.

The miracle/organ prayers have been supplanted by wife prayers. No, he isn't looking for a new one. Today is their anniversary.

"Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man,"

He can’t be intubated for more than a few weeks. He’ll need to get a tracheostomy after that. Hopefully some doctor with common sense will talk the family out of that and convince them it’s time to give up.

R566, can you explain the process? I didn’t know that and now I’m curious. I did read that the longer you’re on a ventilator the harder it is to get off it.

[quote]PLEASE PRAY for Phil at 5:15 pm CST & 6:15 pm EST! We are praying from Tennessee to Mississippi to North Carolina & all points where you read this. Set your phone alarms, please. There is POWER in PRAYER.

For the record, they've been praying their POWERFUL PRAYERS for 41 days now.

Well, I will point out that it’s actually Daylight Savings Time, not EST right now.

Uh-oh. If the prayers are off by one hour, they’re just wasted. God has a very tight schedule.

[quote]Uh-oh. If the prayers are off by one hour, they’re just wasted. God has a very tight schedule.

Jesus says CHOP-CHOP! He's got big plans to appear in a tortilla later tonight.

Grave condition - one foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel.

[quote] Well, I will point out that it’s actually Daylight Savings Time, not EST right now.

They don’t believe in vaccines, and they don’t believe in the GODLESS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME either!

Turns out, vaccines are more powerful then prayers, phil. Say hi to Satan's dominions. I'm pretty sure satan won't be dealing with you directly because you are a LOSER.

Fuck You Phil because you KILLED KIDS.

[quote]Someone can use "grave," "a little icky," "calm, carefree, n' critical," or "face down, ass up" if they want

I laughed out loud. Thanks, R550. :D

I don't understand the stereo cabinet thing. Could someone explain?

"in the stereo cabinet" and "no longer shopping the Pig " (Piggly Wiggly) were terms users on the Usenet group alt.showbiz.gossip when someone famous died. In the stereo cabinet was where someone in the group said her mother(?) put the ashes of a relative. And no longer shopping the Pig was how someone was described after they died.

Pressley Stutts has been extubated.

^^ I guess God needed another anti-vax, anti-mask Covid denier. ^^

Always been a fan of the unofficial hospital term "CTD", short for "circling the drain".

[quote] Pressley Stutts has been extubated.

Oh, boy. This news is pretty devas—

Ok, I’m over it.

When I was working in a hospital we said 'the patient failed to fulfill his wellness potential'.

I guess he won't be needing his fake vaccination card any more.

I suppose this is literally the hill these idiots want to die on.

As a lib, his death makes me feel owned. Hoping that many more try to own me by dying.

[quote] Pressley Stutts has been extubated.

This is some weather we’re having, huh, fellas.

Thanks for the pick-me-up, R577. I feel better about the rest of the day. Please repeat tomorrow.

Talk about a sign from God… it doesn’t get any more blaring than dying of Covid.

I miss him already

I didn’t.

Is there a GoFundMe for Pressley Stutts' family?

Oh, yeah. They're trying to raise $150,000.

The God damned grifting never ends. They'd spit on a person begging on the sidewalk but are completely fine with cyber-begging.

At R571:

[quote]“I really don’t have words to say about the imprint that he left on the political landscape in South Carolina," Harvell said. “He had the kind of personality that enabled him to get done what others couldn’t do."

It's just as well (for the health of SC politics) that he's gone, then. There's no moral excuse for leaving the kind of an imprint on the political landscape that he surely did.

Rot in Pieces, ignorant Mofo!!! Zero fucks!

Unbelievable that these people are literally dying for their political party. For Trump really. It’s a death cult like Heaven’s Gate but 1000 times larger and coast to coast.

That grimace stretched across Trump’s face - that's supposed to be a smile, right?

Guess we’ll have to make another thread.

New thread.

The GFM at R590 was set up when that deplorable was in the hospital, and was meant to cover his long slow recovery after he got out of the hospital. Guess he won’t be needing that money now.

[quote] South Carolina’s longtime Freedom advocate, Pressley Stutts, is a beloved patriot who needs our help due to a sudden turn of events. Pressley recently took on an unexpected battle with the China virus, and as of this writing, is now hospitalized and in ICU. Pressley’s wife Patty was also hospitalized. She has returned home, but in compromised health, and will likely need assistance until Pressley is up to speed. While praying for a speedy recovery for them both, Pressley’s friends also anticipate what is likely to be a long, slow recovery, due to the severity of his illness. Thus, the many unknowns in this scenario have inspired me to create this account.

[quote] Thanks to all the countless supporters of Pressley, and his God-given freedom to make a personal choice regarding his own body. Pressley's family and friends have been lifted up by the thousands of prayers and good wishes for his healing. Your prayers provided untold comfort to our friend during the devastating isolation and separation that South Carolina hospitals put covid patients and their families through. Keep it up, prayer warriors!

Odd looking link.

New thread:

What do they need $150K for? He was a politician and they have Cadillac insurance paid by us, the taxpayers!
