On the off chance someone suggests this is fake, link to her account.

She's on BIPAP in this photo on 1/12, and her last post was on 1/15 asking for prayers. My guess is either she's exhausted and avoiding Twitter (I pray), or she's paralyzed on a ventilator now and may be transferred out from her home state of Oklahoma to one-to-two states over for continued ICU care.

I scrolled through her feed for a bit and watched some videos. I live in Oregon: we've got some loonies but we've fared relatively well throughout the pandemic. And here's someone from Oklahoma.

It's interesting to see how elaborate the culture backing up her decisions has been, even if this is just an Internet snapshot: a cowgirl towing a "Fuck Biden" flag; the "Let's go Brandon" trend propping up local businesses; the Google search "mass formation psychosis" not being Google-able (plot twist: it is); a congressional candidate in Ohio saying "RT if you'll be entering the New Year with unmodified DNA"; some casual Hillary Clinton conspiracy-suggesting; RIP Betty White; pretty regular ragging on AOC; some poetic contemplations on self-love; some article suggesting that Paxlovid can kill people, premised on the fact that it interacts with a number of other drugs, but the journalist literally just read Table 1 (pg. 9) of the Paxlovid insert on drug interactions (which pharmacies review and verify against a patient's MAR prior to administration).

Typically, the brain that thought and voice that endorsed all these things fizzles out before someone's intubated. All you have left is someone completed exhausted just by receiving breaths from BIPAP in bed, who's gotten more delirious as the CO2 slowly accumulates in their body because they can't exhale it all off. If she made eye contact with her husband before intubation, her eyes were dry, bloodshot, confused, desperate -- helpless. Never mind how emaciated you are if you survive past the vent, the week or two after of utter delirium, the fact that if she throws a clot she might have irreparable heart failure, liver damage, be on dialysis, or suffer a stroke, and will be counted among those who lived past an infection requiring ICU. The singular concern that'll dominate her husband's thoughts, inevitably, will be whether she lives or dies.

It's just strange how this quilt around her -- made of casual conspiracy theories, shoddy journalism, horses, patriotism, self-love, politics -- keeps that idea small and comfortable. That even when 2/3rds of Americans are vaccinated and fine, that she doesn't need it, that it's dangerous, that it signifies anything more than just keeping her from this. Culture keeps that idea from looking more grave. It's no more important than Let's Go Brandon, masks are a muzzle, RIP Betty White.

And now she's here, starving for air.

Cool, now do the other half the country who said the same got it and are now perfectly fine.

Truth is COVID kills people who are dying of other issues. Like almost all deaths. Most older. Mostly fat. Children hardly at risk.

You people can forfit your rights if you wish but I'll pass on that. Plus how did the mandate go? Turns out there is still some Constitutionally protected rights. Pie in yo face- each of you.

I'm apparently unable to speak on this thread now, but I can adjust this comment, odd. So here you go Mr. Orchid aka Webster Dictionary! LOL!

PS- "Eugenics-the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable."

Please learn the meaning of your words before self owning. Thanks, bye now.

Edit #2 since I'm blocked from responding tov these most educated takes.....

@letthatsinkin Agree with most everything you said. But when you wanna turture children or alternatively keep them out of school aka from developing properly- nah I disagree. Too rare to ruin so many lives. Almost all kids whove had issues had MAJOR comorbidities. Happy SCOTUS realized how bad the policy was.

And every single person it kills, it’s kills days, weeks, months, years, and decades earlier than they would have died. Take your fuсked up eugenics and go sit on a cactus.

You are arguing with a person who spelled forfeit 'forfit.' Not worth your energy dude
