If a person was vocally anti-vax then they weren’t “battling” the virus, they were on the same side.
This is another case of death by friendly fire.

“I will not take the vaccination, though I did test positive for whatever they’re calling ‘COVID’ today, but the bottom line is that my lungs are not functioning,” Steele wrote in his final blog post on August 17, accompanied by a picture of him hooked up to what appears to be a ventilator.
Steele’s death was confirmed by his friend and fellow conspiracy theorist Mark Tassi in a video posted to Instagram on Sunday evening. In the video Tassi says he was in touch with Steele in recent days and claimed the hospital had prevented the former CIA officer from using hydroxychloroquine tablets.
Steele was in Florida for the final dates of his Arise USA tour, a three-month trek across all 50 states, during which he spread conspiracy theories about COVID-19, election fraud, and former President Donald Trump’s supposedly imminent return to office. The tour had run out of money, but Steele was continuing to show up to events on his own
Hours after Steele’s death was announced, he was already being lauded as a “warrior to the end” on QAnon channels on messaging app Telegram. And just as the final years of his life were defined by conspiracy theories, his followers reacted to his death by boosting conspiracies about how he “really” died, including claims that he was poisoned or “killed with a heart attack.”

I wonder if he ever accused himself of implanting tiny radios in his teeth.

Heart failure will most likely be on the death cert alright. It tends to be.
Along with Covid in this case.

An Ohio judge just ordered a hospital to treat a patient with ivermectin. Apparently, you can now just check into the hospital and ask for the drug you want. It’s doubly funny because Ohio just passed a law letting doctors opt out of treating patients on moral grounds.
