Washington state Sen. Doug Ericksen dies after COVID battle
"Battle" my sweet fucking ass. Dumb-ass Doug just laid down & died, as one does. How does one "battle" what one can't see?Washington state Sen. Doug Ericksen dies after battle with COVID
Mmmm, child sex tours? Two wet suits & a dildo? That'd be typically Republican.Last month, Ericksen wrote to his Republican colleagues asking if they could help him get treatment. He said he was in El Salvador, and had tested positive for the coronavirus.“I took a trip to El Salvador and tested positive for COVID shortly after I arrived,” he wrote. “I cannot get back home, and it’s to the point that I feel it would be beneficial for me to receive an iv of monoclonal antibodies (Regeneron). I have a doctor here who can administer the iv, but the product is not available here.”
“Do any of you have any ideas on how I could get the monoclonal antibodies sent to me here,” Ericksen continued. “Ideally, I would like to get it on a flight tonight so it would be here by tomorrow.”
The U.S. State Department has, since August, been advising Americans to reconsider travel to El Salvador because of COVID concerns.
Ericksen eventually arranged a medevac flight to a Florida hospital, a former colleague of his told The Bellingham Herald. It was unclear Saturday where Ericksen was when he died.
Ericksen fought, through protest and legislation, Inslee’s orders and mandates, intended to fight the spread of the virus. Public health officials have strongly endorsed vaccination and masks as the best tools for fighting the pandemic. He had introduced legislation intended to protect the rights of people who won’t get vaccinated and had repeatedly called on Inslee to resign.
It was unclear if Ericksen had been vaccinated.
Also unclear has been why Ericksen visited El Salvador — but it’s not his first visit to that country or others in recent years.
How's that "breathing free" workin' out for ya there, Dougie?The last update on Ericksen’s legislative website apparently came on Nov. 1, shortly before he fell ill. In it, he railed against Gov. Jay Inslee’s mandate for all state employees and health-care workers to be vaccinated, lamenting that “other states breathe free” while Washington authorities force out those who opt against vaccination.
