Get better Ced. Doesn't sound like he's in a great state right now but hopefully he's seen the worst of it.

Prayers are free, and so is the vaccine.

There's a difference between wanting to prevent people from dying and rubbing it in your face when you are dying

Spoiler:
If he isn’t vaccinated, this might sound cruel but IMO he should automatically give up, or at least be at the end of the queue for the ICU.

You are putting everyone at risk, prolonging the pandemic, and now taking up a valuable spot in the hospital because you refuse to listen to the professional doctors and got your advice off social media or news outlet.

Nah, don't do this. -Dome

Of course he isnt vaxxed or he would say it (and the odds being vaxxed and in thr ICU) are incredible tiny anyway. And yet he asks for prayers and forgiveness but he doesnt write the one really important thing...on the day Idaho has to implement the triage...

I saw the posts and had to think about the guy in this video. So deep in his bubble that he couldnt understand the difference between his old parents not dying and him being in the process of dying

Unlikely, 0.06% of hospitalized patients are vaccinated in Arkansas, 0.07% in New Jersey. This basically means for every ~1500 unvaccined people hospitalized for Covid-19, you should observe 1 fully vaccinated individual hospitalized.

These are just two states reporting statistics. This is not about ICU, this is hospitalization in general. ICU numbers should be lower.

The vaccines do not guarantee that you will not catch Covid, but all of them, including the Russian Sputnik V and all the Chinese ones, will prevent you from dying (very very unlikely to die).

Always pay attention to the "advanced stats" guys.

Basketball fans should know that percentages matter.

So I guess obese people should be the last to receive medical care from here on out. Since they put the biggest strain on the health care system.

Florida recently reported 87% of patients hospitalized with Covid are not fully vaccinated. I know Michigan previously reported that "over 90%" of patients hospitalized with Covid aren't fully vaccinated. So being vaccinated and hospitalized isn't impossible, but it certainly is much less likely.

If you could get a couple free inoculations that prevent obesity it would certainly save a lot of lives and a lot of money spent on public health.

Nobody here is sending messages to Cedric telling him "UR DYING? TOO BAD YOU DIDN"T GET A VACCINE" I think most are posting it in mind for *others* as a warning.

If you're talking about twitter people responding to him, I didn't read them but, I'd be inclined to agree that some people did probably do this to him and that's jacked up, but twitter people insufferable about *Every* topic you can imagine. You can imagine if someone famous who was strongly pro vaccine got hospitalized, you can find a few people on twitter going "HAHA! YOU GOT IT BUT STILL GOT REALLY SICK", I 100% guarantee you.

Funny, I never said a healthy lifestyle wasn't worth pursuing.
