A Texas man who declined the COVID-19 vaccine earlier this year contracted the coronavirus and needed a double lung transplant to survive. Now he’s speaking up and encouraging others to learn from his experience by getting vaccinated.

June 18, 2021 --

“They’re telling you your lungs are failing, so you don’t know if you’re going to go to bed tonight and wake up tomorrow,” he said. “These people are still fighting for their lives,” Howard Huang, MD, Houston Methodist’s medical director of lung transplantation and one of the doctors who treated Garza, told the news outlet.

A father that was denied cancer treatment that actually works, died and left his family behind. Report on the POS WebMD....

Let's never forget who spread that crap to the world, even arresting people who were trying to warn... Apparently no one talks and questions about that anymore.

fake

So

The media will use people to spread their agenda. Stop already!

Wow? Most people don’t know that most people have 5 years to live with a lung transplant.🥴 So sad!

We really shouldn't waste money on person who think they can't die of covid.

Just a thought, not even sure how I feel about it. Example, if a person is an alcoholic that leads to liver failure but they choose to continuing drinking, they do not get a liver. So, if a person chooses to not get vaccinated against COVID, should they be entitled to new lungs?

I declined the COVID-19 vaccine because I contracted the coronavirus last year (June) and second time this year (april). asymptomatic. 2 years of research and my own experience is to strengthen the immune system, in a natural or pharmaceutical way.

Cost of a double lung transplant… $2.6 million. Cost of a COVID vaccine… FREE.

Covid 19 is the only thing going on in the world

Unhealthy overweight 24 yr old. stop acting like this happens to healthy people.

Covid has a 1.8% mortality rate. I'll take my chances. BS media and mindless little sheep. Nothing like WebMD spreading fear and doom....

I love how easy you put it 'refused it and needed a double lung transplant'... In Honduras, if you decline, you die. PERIOD. No double transplant, no nothing. Youre burried and thats it.

Organs for transplant are in short supply. Lung compromised people wait on lists for years waiting for the call. For some it never comes. His selfish actions of not taking the vaccine have prevented other deserving patients from getting their transplant. He shouldn't have got it.

Be careful out there! You'll cut yourself on the eDgE these anti-vaxxers have! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Of all the people who contracted COVID19 and died, you want to tell me that this guy is so special that they choose to save him , by giving him a double Lung Transplant? I am so tired of all the Bullcrap!

I don't trust the vaccine and wouldn't trust a transplant either.

Ok, how old was he? Did he have emphysema? Were there any other illnesses/ disease or malaise? Yeah, all those things count.... tell the whole, true story please.

How did he even qualify for the transplant, they don't give liver to alcoholics and how did he get ahead of the chronic patients waiting for transplant

I got the vaccine Moderna and few weeks after I got a limp node might have to go to surgery .

Equal coverage. You have hundreds to choose from. Tell the story of the perfectly healthy person who took the vaccine and was hospitalized. Doesn’t fit the propaganda, right?

Let’s conveniently not mention lifelong lifestyle choices 🚬 👂💨 🧛‍♂️

Let Darwin run it’s course.

When will they write the stories of those affected by the vaccine?

Sorry being so cold hearted but this Texan didn’t deserve those double lungs I’m quite certain that someone else out there is more deserving….you should be 6’ under right now..

If I chose not to get vaccinated, I sure as hell would not expect to get a double lung transplant. You made your decision before Covid, just accept the consequences.

I’m not convinced and won’t be taking this enhanced gene therapy. Not to be foolish. But based on the fact that we each will die someday. Hopefully not soon, but it will happen sooner or later. I don’t plan on living my life in fear. Just being careful.

What a crock!!! Stop 🛑

I'm not a doctor but I think the idea is to get the vaccine before you get sick, not after.

Too bad I can’t convince my GF

A 79 y/o Ohio man who beat covid earlier in the year was convinced to take the Pfizer jab by his local health department, he was hospitalized the same day and never made it back home. He passed away on Saturday. That man was my grandpa, and the jab cost him his health and life.

They believe more in conspiracy theories. Recently we see people making videos of magnets sticking to the site of vaccination asserting on microchip implant!! No doubt there are many that learn the hard way... Unfortunately that’s human nature

I said this yesterday about lung transplants tripliling in the years ahead, nobody listened to me.

Disgusting on so many levels. First he didn’t believe in the science that suggested the vaccination and now he pays his way to the front of the line for an organ transplant.

Wmillard9 If he gets the lungs, his ignorance will deny someone else a chance to live.

I have to wear oxygen now. I had it COVID in November. COVID lung injury, they're calling it. Exhausting is what I call it. I would encourage ppl to do anything they can to avoid the virus.

LearnFromPatientFacts

Keep on trying to scare everyone...ridic. This will never end.

Was he a smoker? I had covid-19 and this only proves his immune system sucked.

The real story is...how did he get 2 lungs so fast?

When will they write the stories of those affected by the vaccine?

I wouldn't let him have a piece of my lung! Everyone should get VACCINATED and stop the foolishness!

Let's talk about all the bad reactions for those who didn't decline the vaccine... I'll wait.

Texas man who declined COVID-19 vaccine speaks out after undergoing double lung transplantJoshua Garza had a chance to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in January but he passed it up, thinking he didn't really need it. Now, the 43-year-old Texan is hoping to inspire others to get the shot after he became so ill following his COVID-19 diagnosis that he needed a rare double lung transplant to survive. 'COVID ended up attacking my lungs,' Garza, of Sugarland, told ABC News. This was in a John Hopkin article before it was pulled but the numbers are from the CDC: Consider the following figures—US Total deaths by year per CDC: 2017: 2,813,503 2018: 2,839,205 2019: 2,855,000 2020: as of 11/14 total deaths = 2,512,880 Putin compares BLM to opposition groups, foreign entities in Russia If only stories like this would move the MAGA mind and inspire them to do the responsible thing and get vaccinated. We'll see more stories like this come the fall if there is a resurgence of Covid and the variances already among us.
