Leslie Lawrenson refused the vaccine and waited until the day he died to call an ambulance
Now his long-term partner Amanda Mitchell, 56, and his stepchildren are urging people not to follow the same path and instead get the vaccine. Mr Lawrenson recorded a video at around 11pm on June 23, when he had a high temperature and was suffering with aches, pains and shivers. ‘No more than a normal cold. So I hope I’ve got it. I hope it is Covid. Because I’d rather have the antibodies in my blood than take the jabs.
tomdelonge Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection beautifully demonstrated. 🤣 love it.
tomdelonge Oh one man doesn't want the vaccine.. so scare others into taking the vaccine that people are still getting with it?
Everyone get the vaccine, someone died without it. We couldn't find a story about a vaxxer who died after taking the vaccine though, despite the stats.
Shame on the man of course but look at his red nose. Obviously a heavy drinker which would've weakened his immune system.
There is a dude who fucked around and found out
tomdelonge Same with my friend who just died last week!
gassee I wonder how many other people he killed by telling them to follow his terrible advice?
MisterSalesman I bet he's regretting that in hell
Popehat Lol
He made a strong case. Until he died.
Well that didn’t work for him
Ah, yes, relying on the human immune system, aka returning to the days of 'nasty, brutish and short.'
'Cambridge-educated' In other news, Cambridge reevaluating it's education system...
Wow, that's stubborn. Would rather die than go to hospital and admit he was wrong.
Hahahahahahahaha
At least he stuck by his convictions and didn't stress hospital workers any further.
KatCapps
KatCapps So, does the UK have as many aholes there are we do in the US?
I guess Cambridge didn't teach him to 'trust in whatever, but lock your car'
/shrug/
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm crying!!
tomdelonge Well, he did have a 90% of surviving COVID…
TaritaC ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
rleas Funny how all these religious types reject the vaccine, but when they get really sick, they’re right there at the hospital demanding treatment. “𝑨 𝒅𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔.” — James 1:8
Hope he didn’t infect any children or immune compromised people on the way out. I’m Outa fucks for him otherwise.
I think this one wins the DarwinAwards for today
*That must have been one really bad cold.
yeah, believe in Jesus. Die like him.
😃
Immune systems on their own are so 1800’s.
tomdelonge People should listen to the experts trained in bioterrorism they have good sound knowledge about viruses … both natural/ weaponized and their VARIATIONS! Stop variations & stop new cycles … To many variations = collective not so happy period the phenomena will assist
mordauntwren Well that worked out well for him
Imagine believing these stories LOL
Ha Hahaha Hahahahahahahahahaha I have no sympathy.
VesuviaAdelia Facebook is complicit.
Popehat
I trusted his immune system to get rid of him.
tomdelonge Metro is not a trustworthy newspaper. Nether are our governments right now.
Another bites the dust. No sympathy for the man.
tomdelonge I’m doing the same. Let’s hope I die
Popehat
Well all anti-vaxxers should stay home when they get Covid19.
Smart people can be so damn stupid. 😕
It's like saying you're not wearing a seatbelt because you trust your brakes.
tomdelonge He believed the Trump lies. Neither Trump nor Boris will send their condolences to the family of course. Putin is laughing. Disinformation about the virus should result in long stays in federal prison.
Popehat He’s was correct in one thing ... he now has immunity from catching COVID again.
Popehat I admire that he did not want to put stress on the hospital. If all other anti-vaxxers were like that, I would respect them (not their views, but their commitment to see it through) a bit more.
tomdelonge And the Universe wins again
tomdelonge Me at work past month most days. 😑
StephenGutowski Cya, Leslie.
The odd thing about the 'I trust my immune system' argument is that this is exactly what vaccines do -- they train your immune system to tackle the virus the moment it appears. You can change your diet to support a healthy immune system, *and also* get a vax for the same reason!
Rip bozo 😂
Popehat Holy shit, dude your immune system is what kills you
Popehat Yeah, I have an overactive immune system. I got sick anyway.
Popehat They're not 'anti-vax'. That's so negative. Be more positive. Call them 'pro-covid', 'pro-ventilator', or 'pro-funeral'
Popehat OOPS
PBVogel Extremely sad, this.
Popehat “Putting your money where your breathing tube should be”
His poor wife. I feel for her. I'm glad she's not antivaxx anymore.
Popehat And his wife considered him highly educated so just believed all his garbage too. Got no issue with people taking themselves out of the genepool through wilful stupidity. It's nature taking its course. But it's the friends and relatives and other collateral damage is the issue.
Popehat
Popehat Screw him … and the horse he rode in on
Popehat
Popehat Oh well.
Popehat It's like some people want to live (briefly) in the dark ages.
Shoulda eaten more horse paste
I suppose its good he decided not use up any nhs hospital based resources. We need to expending resources on ppl needing treatment for other serious illnesses but who are caught in the covid backlog.
all anti vaxxers should not be allowed to go to the hospital
marina282828 Middle America: meet Darwin. I guess decades of cultivating the biggest concentration of idiots in the world culminates in… the biggest concentration of idiots who are incapable of learning anything that isn’t from firsthand experience. Oh well, what was the mind for?
Stupid people die as stupid people.
MoarToast sorry it didn’t work out. maybe next time.
jo_regular There are so many of these stories coming to light. The stark message is: vaccine, or death. Your choice…
The problem with trusting the immune system, is the cytokline storm it starts when it gets overwhelmed is capable of killing you. Everyone with an autoimmune condition will tell you how bad you can feel when the immune system overeacts and attacks the body.
This is the danger of medical misinformation. And the replies to the post reinforce how entrenched some of it is.
YoungChris27040 I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to post a quote of me saying “I’m going to be fine” shortly before my death no matter when or why.
Well now he knows he was wrong. I just worry how many more he encouraged in his foolishness.
This is really sad but he was not the first and will not be the last antivaxxer to get publicity for his ignorance. Many have died from covid and they'll never be known to any of us.
Mr_Dave_Haslam Nice try, Metro. Not falling for it.
Was a post mortem performed with the actual cause of death recorded on the death certificate, my guess is not, and this is the reason why the figures are so inflated...people die of from many illnesses and funeral homes haven't reported any significant increases in funerals
Mr_Dave_Haslam
why73336317 That went well then.
No vaccine has been invented for stupidity or ignorance. Shame.
Sure.
Britain_People What a tacky use of a dead mans misfortune…Shame on you…
Guess that worked out well for him then... sigh. justgetthedamnvaccine
😂😂😂 just looked at his Facebook page with all the right wing BS on it and praising all these anti vaccine marches. How they work out Leslie?
Very sad. He made a choice, (as he had every right to do), but unfortunately he was out of luck. Which is OK, some might say. Perhaps understandably however his family have a different view, as reported.
