UPDATE (1/9/2022): Well, after almost dying from COVID, Bruce got vaccinated and seemed to have softened his stance, but now he's right back to posting anti-vaxx and anti-mandate stuff as if he weren't currently in rehab struggling to breathe. See below.
Original Post (11/19/2021):
According to this article Bruce is on a ventilator in an induced coma with COVID. Bruce is considered a conservative politics "powerbroker" in Grand Forks. He was the head of the University of North Dakota Innovation Center. He has been an Air Force-appointed community liaison with the local Air Force base since 2016 (no idea what that means). Bruce wrote a lot about COVID, vaccines, and mandates on his Facebook page. He's definitely an anti-vaxxer, as you'll see.
Oddly enough, back in January 2021 he credited Trump with the vaccine. Even listed it as #1:
And then he tries to claim the Trumpers aren't the vaccine holdouts. We know this is false.
Here come the anti-mandate rants:
He likes to claim it's actually the left that doesn't listen to science (he's a bizarro conservative):
We now know that Florida DID break all of their previous COVID records in August.
More ranting...
I think he's trying to communicate some contradictions...it's hard to tell:
I wonder if he'd like to revise his last statement here?
What he's missing here is that MOST of those deaths are concentrated in the unvaccinated group. So his odds were (obviously) much worse.
He's good for a meme or two:
Of course he's anti-Fauci...
Vitamins and minerals over vaccines, I suppose?
He loves conservative cartoons:
More Fauci disrespect:
Again, the bizarro world Conservative says the left is killing science:
Is this funny to right-wing conservatives? Do they laugh?
More BS about science. All anyone wants people to do is use science to check science...which is what science is. Lay people questioning science is dumb.
Another conservative who doesn't understand VAERS' limitations and its purpose.
GRRRRRRR...what all this anti-vaxx stuff is really all about:
This was posted on November 4:
Now he's in the ICU in bad shape. I'll wish him well...
Get better and push vaxx.

UPDATE (1/9/2022);
First here are some quotes from The Grand Forks Herald, his local newspaper. (Here's a link to the full article: https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/grand-forks-bruce-gjovig-off-covid-ventilator-looks-to-recovery)
So Bruce almost dies, then he gets vaccinated when he starts recovery and yet he publicly posts things like this:
^^^ Laymen questioning science is worthless, Bruce. You proved this yourself by almost dying.
YOU are politicizing public health policy with posts like this. And I notice you NEVER post "evidence piling up" against mandates.
You ARE a moron. That is not up for debate.
Oh well. What a waste.
This guy looks like Gilbert Gottfried, but of course he's nowhere near as smart.
At times like this I feel happy wishing he'd died.
Bruce Gjovig is most definitely a moron. He dabbles in casuistry and sophistry.
Trying to figure out how this guy had covid in Nov,21, then got vaxxed and a booster in what would be (roughly) the following six weeks. I read where he got boosted but not where he got original vax. Is he considering having the antibodies from covid (having caught it in Nov, 21) equal to being vaxxed? Is it possible that he got boosted on top of that?
I think he went back to posting antivax stuff after getting booster like saying; "see I wasn't wrong, I'm not a dumbass, I was just questioning the science is all." He's the kind of guy who would look at not going back to posting antivax stuff as admitting he was wrong. Can't…
Like my mom always said, "A Hyena never changes its stripes". What was that, a 3 day conversion? What a douche. How a rational person could want another soul to go through what he did is beyond me. How all of these survivors don't shout from the rooftops "It's not worth it, get vaccinated, you can find another way to own the libs", proves that they deserve all the scorn we can give them. This isn't Dem or Rep. It isn't Lib or Con. It is simple human decency and these folks all fail at that simple task. That is why I do not mourn them. Human kind is better off without their ilk.
