Louisiana man who contracted COVID-19 and wound up hospitalized said he would rather be ill than get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
"Here I am recovering, getting out of here finally tomorrow. Am I going to get a vaccine? No," Scott Roe told CBS News as he lay in a bed getting supplemental oxygen at Our Lady of the Lake Medical Center in Baton Rouge.
The father and small-business owner recently caught COVID-19 and developed pneumonia, but he said he still would not have gotten vaccinated if that meant he could have prevented the infection.
"I would have gone through this, yes sir," Roe, who said he's a Republican, told CBS News' David Begnaud. "Don't shove it down my throat. That's what local, state, federal administration is trying to do - shove it down your throat."
When Begnaud asked what was being shoved, Roe said, "Their agenda is to get you vaccinated."
I'm going to suggest that anyone who has a viable lead for SAV to use the Submit New Story link at the top of the page. Anything left here in the comments is open for the public to read and any social media pages of potential candidates will likely be shut down since a lot of people can't help themselves from commenting. As I mentioned in the Ira story, one lead we recently received was scrubbed within hours before we could grab anything.
Also, while we do check the forum, it's much easier for us to organize and assign leads that come in through the SAV email.
Thanks for all the help so far, everyone! And if our Anonymous Fan source is reading this, you're a rockstar! And please, DO take a break. I understand how mentally and emotionally exhausting the process is.
Yes, the idea for this thread was to save you work. Me, or anyone else, would post a lead and then others would help investigate and then if it turned up anything, submit it through the formal channel. It wasn’t intended to make you do anything additional.
Oh, I know!! I hope you don't think I'm ungrateful or being critical.
I think that someone from the "outside" may have caught onto the thread now! That stinks but we do have trolls who browse a lot and the thread has been here long enough for antivaxxers to see it and follow.
Maybe we can do what we tried before, if we get a good submission I can come here and ask for some help and send that info to some of the trusted volunteers. Then, we can try and keep the lead secret so the potential candidate can't scrub their page.
No, I just don’t want you to feel obligated to look into any of these. They’re probably all time suckers that will go nowhere. I figure if sleuths check in now and again they can look around if they choose. Even if they don’t it’s a way I can vent about all this fucking death and waste of resources. Watching the shock-and-awe they all seem to have over medical expenses is truly something else.
What I didn’t realize is that someone was watching and potentially altering people to scrub. Well, hell. I really need to drop my personal ethics and get a FakeBook so I can investigate these fuckers personally. I’ll woah off on here.
This one makes me mad. All the God shit is a dead giveaway on vaxx status. No clue if there is any social media that can be stalked. But I will say that even months later COVID can get you. Wonder how many other ticking time bombs are wandering around?
She died? Damn, those poor kids. She sounded like a good mom except the suiciding herself part. And allowing the kids to be unvaxxed. Miracle the kid survived. Dad sounds like he’s messed up from COVID, too. So stupid. Still, she was undoubtedly loved and they’re undoubtedly traumatized.
Here’s this guy. No mention of vaccine status. I’d jump immediately to antivax except he’s registered as a Dem so maybe he was vaxxed and his body was stI’ll unable to mount a defense. None of us know what will happen until we challenge those vaccines. I put this here because either way, damn, we really should be holding off the vacations, folks. This variant is so fucking transmissible. Get boosted! Mask up! Travel by car! I don’t know what else to say except don’t let your guard down.
The voter registrations are usually correct. He could be completely sane and maybe even vaxxed. This virus is a beast. So many people are sick out in public. Unashamedly coughing. I was just in a store tonight with a number of them. In a blue state! Imagine the red states are even worse. Unreal.
For those who do FB maybe you can check some of the posters here for content
