Howard Breidenbach of Oregon survived his COVID, but spent 102 days in the hospital, often near death, only kept alive by ventilators. He thought he was a healthy trucker, but with COVID he had lost everything. At the time of the interview with the local TV station, he is still on oxygen and is often coughing, and it may never go away. But at least he's alive.
His advice to others?
"I agree with them (the vaccine hesitant), they should have their choice.
"But at the same time, what freedom do you have in the grave, besides to be worm food?"
Remember, a shot of COVID vaccine is, at most, $20 in the US, and generally free.
His 102-day stint in the ICU is about 250K total.
Even monoclonal antibodies treatment is like $1250 per dose, and you need like 8 of them.
Yes, he's vaccinated now. And he urged EVERYBODY to get vaccinated.
Good for you, sir. A little late, but still, good for you.
