Update 9/23/21: Andre' Jacque, the unvaccinated Wisconsin State Senator who has been hospitalized for more than month battling COVID, has been released from the hospital. He's at a care facility now with months of healing and rehab ahead of him. And, more importantly, he's redeeming himself somewhat as his wife released this statement:
"While vaccination is a personal choice, I ask that those individuals who are eligible and able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine please consider placing their trust in the medical professionals who recommend it,"
As if trusting a medical professional is something out of the ordinary for these people. What the...ok, well, it's a step in the right direction, anyway.
Get well, Andre'!
Old Story:
According to this story Andre' Jacque, a Wisconsin State senator, has been hospitalized with COVID.
Jacque has adamantly opposed vaccine mandates and authored legislation prohibiting government officials or business owners from requiring proof of vaccination. He also opposed the statewide mask mandate.
Amazing that so many of these GOP politicians are against vaccines when they clearly fall into the high risk category for severe COVID (i.e. old, overweight, or both).
State Sen. André Jacque declines to comment whether COVID-19 hospitalization has affected his views on the pandemic
When asked whether his experience with the disease had changed his views on how the state should be battling the pandemic or approaching public health, Jacque said he did not want to comment on COVID-19. But he said he did have some "insights" from his time in the hospital

This is a re-post. I wish they'd do a follow up. Find out where he is doing his rehabilitation. Go ask him for an interview. He's a politician. His rights of privacy don't extend as far as the rights of a private citizen, I would assume. Ask him the difficult questions. How much was the hospital bill? Who is going to pay for it? Asking him, "Looking back in retrospect, would you have gotten vaccinated?" probably isn't a good question. The non-vaccinated survivors aren't going to admit they made a mistake. Ask him if he got any bed sores, skin rashes, etc., from his, unnecessary, but prolonged hospital stay. Ask him if he has any negative reactions…
Andre is a few votes short of passing a legislative agenda.
I pity the nursing staff who had to turn this guy on his sides every day to change sheets or to prevent bed sores, that alone should have been an incentive to mask up and get the vaccine.
I just read that he is on a ventilator. Vaxman, we would love an update.
