I wish the young man a speedy recovery and may he and his family be blessed with health and support.

So basically he got sick went to the doctor who prescribed a fever reducer and sent home but the mom insisted he be hospitalized because……. (reasons)

[ttrue-games]

Why dont they tell people what to do if they feel like If your kid is at home feeling like this what to do? No they just want to make you feel bad that they are not vaccinated.

[GyprockGypsy]

This a powerfully strong message. I get that a lot of people might feel offended by the angling on this, but it could really be a wonderful opportunity to teach a whole new generation about the importance of life and equality of fear. If we can't connect over the ability to breath, what discourse is left for this society?

That’s what happens when you get sick.
She said pneumonia

[nouseforaname]

Why does the title say hospitalized with COVID 19 and then then reporter goes on to say viral pneumonia?

[davidlang]

THE PARENTS WERE EDUCATED IN ALABAMA PUBLIC SCHOOLS -- WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!!

Where's the number of children and adults who had an allergic reaction to the vaccine and are hospitalized or comatose?
Their body has shut down same or worse as having the virus.

[robertavendano]

Headline said covid reporter said pneumonia witch they are not treating u for because then it would cause fear

[ANDY-ienh]

Such a tragedy that’s why the kid is smiling and throwing a peace sign at the camera. So sick of this propaganda. 🙄

[semyonbudyonny]

So what does this have to do with the greatest wealth transfer in human history?

[georgemallory]

Keep that fear flowing! Keep people with predisposition to being scared sheep as scared as possible!

[Mermayydman]

Welcome to the main stream scare tactics.

[highjinxwillie]

Is this the first child that had no pre conditions.

[kittyalden]

I WISH THIS BOY ALL PRAYERS HIS PARENTS DESERVE JAIL HE IS 12 HE SHOULD OF HAD THE DOSES HIS PARENTS ARE ONLY HIS CAREGIVERS. GOD LOANED HIM TO THEM

[haynldy]

🙏🙏🙏 for this young man. When I was 12 I was diagnosed with pneumonia, bronchitis and bronchial asthma. I know what it's like not to be able to breathe. But there's good medications out there for this. Switch your physician

[cimmerian_savage]

Fear, don't critically think, and don't stand up for liberty

[ajlacostewm]

Looks like the parents failed to do the necessary precautions, to keep the child safe, if he's the only one in the family that's got it .

[Whattheqwal]

Why people feel the need to post their suffering on social media that's something I will never understand.

[phillupspace]

send him back to school with out a mask before that cough goes away
