He was one of the lucky ones who survived after needing to be intubated. But he was initially unable to use his limbs. And he began to suffer liver failure.
On June 12, he received a liver transplant. He was still recovering on July 29, when he arrived in a wheelchair at the House chamber.
On Wednesday night, 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.
So.... This man can no longer just say it's just a flu, it's a hoax.... He himself said in office that he's grateful to have his life saved.....
But one of his first major legislation once back is to ban masks mandates and prevent distancing of unvaccinated?? Does. Not. Compute.
Let him land on any Lyran world to taste firsthand the wrath of peace loving people thwarted by the myopic greed of a few miserly old farts- Katrina Steiner
He survived, therefore it’s not his problem anymore.
And he’s a Republican, a party which abandoned all semblance of rationality and morality decades ago.
Even thinking about trying to limit exposure to disease is a serious offence!
Plus any extra deaths as a result of this will just be blamed on Biden.
Remember he is part of a party that praises the very people who literally tried to kill them back in January, and part of a party where a good chunk of their electorate would rather die than listen to anything health experts and Biden has to say.

I'm pretty sure they want death everyone else but them so it wouldn't really count as a Death Cult, Cult sure just not a Death one.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. Both Boris and Donald contracted coronavirus and neither of them got their act together as a result, why should this guy be any different?

But they're not smart or competent enough to avoid death for themselves.

never said they were, I just said they were not intentionally seeking death to themselves

I'm going to say that's not a Boomer mentality, it's an American one. The so-called "Greatest Generation" was full of that bullshit, too, and I suspect it goes back a lot farther than that.

While I usually try and avoid being snarky, I would bring up that "All men are created equal...but slavery is totally ok" from your Founding Fathers.
Considering your entire country was basically "screw you guys, I'm gonna set up my own country and to hell with whoever is in my way" I'd say 17th century at least.
Baltar: "I don't want to miss a moment of the last Battlestar's destruction!"
Centurion: "Sir, I really think you should look at the other Battlestar."
Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."
Corrax Entry 7:17: So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again.
I'd like to think we've improved some over the years, but I'm not always certain about that.

What a waste of a perfectly good liver. I'd say being an antivaxxer is its own punishment, if only they didn't spread their plagues to those who can't take vaccines for health reasons.
