This guy's FB page is overflowing with conspiracy theories and false claims. It's not scrubbed but commenting appears to have been blocked. Once he got Covid he pulled the 'I'm Born Again!!!' card, as if that will make any difference. AND the woman who started the Go Fund Me page, for him, herself recovered from Covid-19, after being put on a ventilator! Yet, she's still in the anti-vaxx cult.
Anyway, here's a blurb from the GFM. Link at the bottom for the story posted on sorryantivaxxers.com
...........
Presently, Eric Carlston is in Unity Hospital in Rochester, NY, where he is suffering from COVID pneumonia. He is receiving oxygen and refusing their desire to put him on a ventilator. Hes so afraid theyll intubate him while he sleeps, he has done everything he can to stay awake for the last few days and nights. This is what happens in a world where man fears being in the hospital.
He is going to need so much support for his medical, legal and living expenses, as someone who is self-employed.
We are working with the attorneys and the doctors on the outside to ensure he gets the correct treatment and not the corporate protocols that seem to be killing everyone in the hospitals.

(26,262 posts)They should open up Ivermectin clinics, staffed by their membership. They might need a few actual hospital type rooms, fitted with oxygen devices, but their main function would be diagnosing and treating anti-vaxxers with Ivermectin and what ever vitamins and minerals, or other concoctions they claim will work.
Of course, they will have to have some pretty robust malpractice insurance in place because as these people CONTINUE to die of Covid, albeit in much more discomfort than if they had been in an actual hospital, the families will be lining up to sue them.

But that's not really new. The one-third of selfish, ignorant, delusional assholes have been pushing our society to the brink for decades, perhaps such people have been pushing humanity to the brink the entire time.

WE GOTTA HELP THIS GUY !!!
We gotta get together and spring him from the fukkin' hospital before their protocols kill him. He's in Unity Hospital in Rochester. We can all meet there, 10 a.m. next Saturday (a.m. means its in the morning). I will go to the front desk and find out what room he's in. The rest of yiz wait at the emergency entrance with a wheel chair to get him out.
I have a set of Motorola cb's and I will tell yiz the room so's yiz can go get him.
One of yiz needs to have a car - better yet a pick-up with a bed to put him in since he may not be able to sit up too good.
Are ya with me?

(3,647 posts)Saving just one person from corporate medical care, and delivering him for treatment by people who have done their own research is worth the criminal charges that will surely follow: Trespass, assault on a medical facility and staff, kidnapping and duct taping a person in a wheel chair to the bed of a pickup truck. It's the price Patriots must be prepared to pay!

(26,262 posts)Deep down I wonder if they now are mad at themselves for not getting the vaccine but they will NEVER admit it and they are redirecting that self-rage at the very people who are trying to help him. Then, when, or rather IF they die, they and their ilk will project their guilt onto the medical staff.
Sometimes they did pull an AMA and leave hospital care. Frederic Sinistra, a kickboxer from Belgium, got Covid, checked himself out of the hospital, went home to use some sort of oxygen treatment, and promptly died.

He's taking a hospital bed from my mom. He should be ejected if my brother has to call 911 today.
Mine before him.
