just remember drew, its not near as bad as the regular flu

[ericbenedum]

WOW! So it wasn't a hoax after all!

[stevenhall]

A year back mr. Drew actually said that he's seen people walking around foolishly wearing masks.

[TheTalk]

Damn so it wasn't a flu. Drew gets pissed when people call him out. But he said for it.

Also documented his denial in the beginning, and the mistakes he made exposing himself throughout the year on Facebook.

Omg yes it really messed up your concentration n it makes me more irritated not being able to really watch a TV show or something to take my mind off feeling so bad so there's no escape 😞

[Rizzy_K]

Remember when the pandemic first started and he said it's just the flu?

[RavenWolfDrum]

Omg yes.. its like ground hog day in hell

[DS-fihf]

Wow. Some of these people in the comments section need to get a damn life. Dr Drew is only human, and already admitted he was wrong with his initial covid opinions.

[katherynrowell]

Remember when he said the pandemic was fake and my parents believed him and didn’t take precautions?

[Reticuli]

It sucks. I also had the brain COVID stuff. Never even had a fever or resp problems. The headache, eye aches, ear aches were profound. The tinnitus, fatigue, and fog have never gone away.

Dr. Drew lives near me in Pasadena. I remember his mom . Pasadena has been hit hard with the coronavirus and Arcadia. We have predominately Chinese come back-and-forth and get the country. Happy to hear he’s doing well 🙏🏻

[theresenydahl]

He tried to pass the line for being a TV Doctor but they were'nt having it, he got pissed, felt sorry for himself, accused them of giving him COVID and had to write about it on social media of course🙄 I have zero sympathy for that kind of behaviour.

[TexanInItaly]

I don't like to see people suffering, but people trusted him and I guarantee you that people took unnecessary risks and got sick, and died, because of his advice. Notice how he doesn't say he was wrong, instead he's just trying to get more views.

[lindawatersphd]

I hope he feels better soon and that his long-term symptoms lessen. I recall that he was a virus denier originally.

[neomonkey]

The worst acting I've ever seen, he didn't have the corona virus. Give me a break.

[kritkratt]

Yay doctor O is back i can finally watch again lol

[cdemp]

At least now he knows CoVid is real and hopefully won't be spreading misinformation anymore. Thank God he survived - my cousin didn't. I hope he's fully recovered from the long-haul symptoms.

[papitom]

Hey people make mistakes but now I believe he learned his lesson and is taking covid seriously..but hes promoting a over the counter penny stock called optec international which is in the ppe and sanitation business..is this a scam company his next big mistake or will he redeem himself. Only time will tell..I sure hope for his sake and his credibility that it's a success

[deborah]

He lives in Pasadena like me, very close to Arcadia. Which is predominantly Chinese, many of the Chinese have continually travel back-and-forth to the country . Most likely why Pasadena and Arcadia has been hit so hard.
