An unvaccinated Virginia man who’s been hospitalized with Covid-19 is using social media to urge others to go out and get the shot.

Travis Campbell, 43, has been in the hospital for more than a week with complications from the virus, which also infected his wife and two of their children.

... “I’m testifying to all my bulletproof friends that's holding out, it's time to protect your family, it's not worth getting long term lung damage or death please go get the vaccine,” Travis Campbell wrote in a July 25 Facebook post.

Something else interesting about this guy...

I’ve looked at a large number of articles about him, and NONE give any info on his backround, his employer, affiliations, nothing.

Zip, zero, nada.

Now I’m really curious...

“Bristol, VA. Disability and opioid central down there”

No thanks to the Obama Administration who held back funding to increase LE effectiveness along the 81 corridor.

Why?

Virginia had a republican Governor at the time. But to his credit SenatorJames Webb who was/is a Democrat made it public in regards to Virginia and the course that the Obama Administration was pursuing, and why.

It was a very vindictive Administration. Does anyone remember when the budget stalled and non-essential Federal entities shut down?

Well, Obama shut down the National Weather Service during the middle of a hurricane season. Nobody had access to any NWS products on the web!

Where was on that stage during the last election cycle. He was marginalized and dropped out of the race but I heard Rush talkin about Senator Webb one day Rush stated the Democrats really missed the Train by not promoting Webb as a viable ccandidate for the upcoming election. And I sort of agrew, but he is a Democrat in a state where if you’re not a Democrat your chances of being elected or not as predictable.

You have a functioning "news by anecdote" detector.

He would have gotten COVID regardless of the vaccine injection.

And no, the vaccine would NOT have lessened the sickness. Fat people are more prone to sickness. It comes with being fat.

I am not a doctor but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express.

Vaxxers, Inc is putting forth an article (and posting at FR) ...on almost a daily basis now.

I’m so moved by these articles...not.

No matter how hard I tried, I could not make myself look like a Bullfrog hollering for a date.

Just like AIDS was a disease of gay people, COVID appears mostly to be a disease of fat people.

We wouldn’t admit it the first time…

Why would we admit it now?

The only person I personally know who has long-term lung damage got it after a bad reaction from taking the 2nd shot

He now has what the Drs. call cough-induced asthma and uses steroids, rescue inhalers, two times a day nebulizer treatments and is now getting experimental shots which have caused him to lose his voice completely. He's short of breath just walking from the couch to the kitchen and has been out of work for months.

You people should know that this sort of obvious propaganda about how terrible the virus is and how wonderful the vaccine is, is destroying your credibility.

These stories about the virus have been a dime a dozen since March 2020. When the vaccine came along it was added to the formulation. This is how used car salesman sell lemons. If it was treated like any other illness and vaccine a lot more people would be open to it.

As soon as you start applying pressure, anyone with any experience with the world knows you aren’t doing it for them. If it was truly for my own good you wouldn’t give a damn.

That is a High Flow Nasal Cannula, which is commonly the last measure before going to Non Invasive Ventilation, i.e. CPAP/BIPAP. Last of course is intubation and mechanical ventilation.

This person very likely has a Sleep Apnea condition which makes breathing an issue, especially during slumber. His problems are mixed, maybe a swollen epiglottis or other sub glottic tissue. It is unlikely to be Central Sleep Apnea (a neurological condition) because he is so obviously overweight.

Give the guy a tracheotomy and that would probably get him breathing well.

Thanks for the insightful and detailed explanation of these vaccines and the problems caused by the Fauci's of the world giving out willy-nilly advice that is not based on science.

I understand things but am not well read or knowledgeable enough on this subject to go into the details like you did. I just knew enough to know something was wrong.

You went into the long weeds further than I could have and I appreciate it. It's amazing that we have leaders in this country that are supposed to be so smart but act so stupidly when carrying out their ideological policies. They only make matters worse.

But like I said, many people think they're not so much stupid as they are evil in their intent. And that's why as a old guy, I've become a cynic. I don't trust anything, not a word, from the government or the media. They're all professional liars with ill intent.
