Growing Number Of Children Hospitalized With Coronavirus

I saw this comment awhile ago.
"We should retire the phrase avoid it like the plague, given how so many people aren't trying to avoid an actual plague."

[justing]

so you just kind of used your kid as the "canary in the coal mine"

[wlogan]

While I am happy to see that the father changed his mind, what does it say about the impact of misinformation in this country that his own child had to be hospitalized before he changed his mind????

[Saturnfart]

It took seeing his daughter almost die to change his mind. Wow.

[lindaleelaw]

Why? How dare these parents " we didn't think " . NO you didn't.
I'm sick of those with kids inflicting them on the rest of us.

I'm truly glad this young women is okay but shame on the parents for listening to the idiots on Fox&Facebook and not listening to medical professionals about the vaccine...

"I though about using a seatbeat on my child, but I've heard on FB that it's a conspiracy against windshields." Smh

[bullrider]

I can see people trying to prove a point but at the risk of your children is disgusting to me.

[modemmack]

Once it affects me, I'll care about it. That's conservatism in a nutshell.

Doody Head Dump: “One day the virus will just disappear. Whoosh."

"Seeing what she went through changed my mind." -Well gee, maybe we should show people on national television what all these people are going through, then. THE NEWS!?!?!?

Australia has had its first Covid19 victim who was 27 and fit, when he died from Covid19 driven cardiac arrest. It’s not just the elderly who need to be vaccinated.

Drinking and Driving is a personal choice and has no effect on others.
This is your logic behind not wearing a mask.

[mvvpro]

Now start suing Tucker and other misinformation spreaders for endangering your children's health.

[charisma-hornum-fries]

The parents before their kid got sick was probably one of those people who thinks everything always happens to other people but never him or his family. Maybe next door but never them.

[goldenshine]

Maybe the parents now believe it’s real. They shouldn’t forget who lied to them.

[jollyandwaylo]

It is amazing that people can't seem to understand something until it happens to them. What happened to common sense?

[enyotheios]

"Now booking their vacine shots" Uhhhh... You don't have to book anything. I walked into a CVS and just asked about vaccination, and they did it right then and there.

All Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS pharmacies offer a free vaccination to anyone who walks in and asks. It's quick, discreet, and they'll answer your questions on how it works.

OMG, She spent the last 3 days on an oxygen tank, and finally gets to go home, and before she even makes it to her car, she's lowered her mask below her nose! This person is a strong contender for the Darwin awards.

[HUFFLE-PUFF]

This is just sad. Our children will be Kings and Queens of the Ashes after our generation kills the planet.
