My friend's 12-yr old niece is in Elmhurst Hospital on a ventilator with covid-19. I have sent him everything that I can (including how ivermectin got an 81 year old man off the vent) and he refuses to show anything to his sister that could potentially save his niece's life. He says he's afraid that if something went wrong his family would never forgive him. He tells me to stop sending information so we are done.
I never thought that I would think of my friend as a coward but I am so angry and hurt by his refusal that I am literally shaking. How do they not understand that the longer that girl is on the ventilator the greater the odds are of her dying???
Another one bites the dust because of frigging ignorance and I am beside myself.
Update 5/1/2020. The girl is awake. Thank God. Other than that I have no idea about her condition. Being that she is 12, I hope that the odds are in her favor.
Walk a mile in my shoes before you judge me. I have not dumped my friend, he dumped me. He and his family are scared and rightly so due to the lies, misinformation and fear porn. If I knew the child's mother I would be reaching out to her and not putting him in the middle.
A real friend speaks the truth in love. When the message is rejected what do you do? Beat your already bloody head against a brick wall or dust off your sandals and try to help somebody else?
I have walked a mile in your friend's shoes. Don't need to know more about you.
Of course speak the truth. However you wrote off your friend, and walked away.
Walked away. You said it yourself.
