"The moment before Rep. David Byrd was put under, he realized it might be the last he'd ever see of this world.
From a COVID-19 intensive care bed at Saint Thomas Hospital in December, terror came over the Republican state legislator from Waynesboro at the thought.
He has no memory of the next 55 days, when Byrd's family knew they might begin planning a funeral as he remained on a ventilator and continued to become sicker.
At the time of his hospital stay, receiving antibody therapy wasn't an option for the 63-year-old.
For all but two weeks in April, Byrd spent eight months in hospitals and at a rehab center, a recovery period he describes as brutal and lonely, when his frame withered to bones and he couldn't walk, use his arms or do much for himself.
He missed the entire legislative session, which lasted from January to May and included numerous efforts by Tennessee Republicans to restrict the ability of government, and in some cases businesses, to enact public health precautions.
Months before, Byrd had joined Republican colleagues in voting for a resolution saying news media had "sensationalized the reporting on COVID-19 in the service of political agendas."
During his recovery this year, Byrd's liver began to fail, resulting in jaundice and a diagnosis of covid cholangiopathy, and ultimately the need for a liver transplant June 12."

Why is the "believer" in conspiracies like Covid is being "sensationalized" pleading with people to get vaxxed? Because, like all good conservatives, it's not a problem until it affect you or your family PERSONALLY!
