So, like Fox News personalities, he was publicly anti-vax, but got the vaccination for himself. That is about the stupidest position anybody can take because it is a highly COMMUNICABLE disease. No vaccines prevent infection. They are all designed to activate the immune system to mount a stronger counter-attack once the person is infected.

THerefore, there is absolutely no sense in a position, "I will get vaccinated, but I will fight every attempt to limit the spread of the disease through the population." And BTW, COVID is still active. I had a bout in December, and I know a dozen others who have had recent cases.

I'm sorry if this guy is suffering long-term COVID consequences, but it is directly related to policies he has advocated.
