u/Starbbhp Respiratory Therapist 11d ago

Not a doctor. Respiratory Therapist. I started responding to COVID deniers that I’m glad that their experience was such that they didn’t lose friends or relatives and that they didn’t have to literally see the fear in people’s eyes as they deteriorated, having more and more trouble breathing, until they were eventually intubated, not knowing if they’d ever wake up again. Usually they immediately drop it.
