Allen West, running for Texas Governor, unvaccinated, and has COVID-19
-
Allen West is running for Governor in Texas, he's unvaccinated, and has contracted COVID-19.
But hey, he's taking hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

I hope he will recover quickly and well.
Same. Enough with the shaming.

May the Blessings of COVID visit you and your family. Then, let's hear you crow about it.

His body, his choice. And, he's not affecting anyone else.
(disclaimer, I disagree with that choice, but I respect it)

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Aw, c'mon, man! C'mon!
Read the thread. But...
From the RWEC:
He campaigns on medical freedom and often says he won’t participate in enriching Big Pharma. Where does he think that antibody infusion comes from?
If West wants to reject the COVID-19 vaccine, that’s his choice. Other conservatives do, as well as some in the Democrat Party, like a disproportionately large percentage of African-Americans. Being vaccinated gives people a chance to avoid hospitalization and more severe cases of COVID-19. If West wants to boast about having antibodies now to fight COVID-19 he can but he also received an infusion to supply those antibodies to his system, which not every non-vaccinated person will have access to.
I will defend (though not respect) his choice. It's totally up to him (other than the possibility of infecting others, of course), but this kind of rhetoric is just plain stupid and ignorant.

Not getting vaccinated does affect others if the ICU's become filled and other people's treatment is affected, and the medical centers are swamped.
I was only joking

Of course. I sort of meant to imply that his illness will NOT not have an impact on others. My bad.

Whenever politicians start talking about 'Big Pharma' you know that any chance of sensible debate is gone.
Presumably, he's a defender of 'Small Pharma'? Does he support the rights of people to cook up stuff in their garage?
What about 'Intermediate Pharma', I wonder? A couple of guys who discovered something in the kitchen, and then get a patent?

I don't want him to die or anything, but you'd think getting sick would maybe have knocked some sense into him. Apparently not.

How is the startup Moderna “big pharma” but the multi-billion dollar Regeneron not?

It's all about imperial vs. metric:
1 West = 0.7 Flynn's.
And that's science!

Snort. From the RWEC:
West’s opinion would be easier to digest if he weren’t also promoting folk remedies alongside legit antivirals, though, and if he hadn’t argued yesterday, incoherently, that he prefers antibody treatments to the vaccine because vaccine sales benefit Big Pharma. Who does he think is making the antibody treatments, Santa’s elves?
I’m also trying to parse the logic of believing the vaccines are “dangerous” while calling for them to be given to illegal immigrants.
