Anti-mask, anti-vax Senator says he's "mostly asymptomatic" with the exception of some fatigue, pneumonia, and hospitalization. Wisconsin lawmaker asks for prayers for colleague with COVID https://www.twincities.com/2021/08/24/wisconsin-lawmaker-asks-for-prayers-for-colleague-with-covid/ The office of a Wisconsin lawmaker who has been an outspoken critic of vaccine and mask mandates declined to update his condition on Tuesday, even as a fellow legislator asked for prayers, saying the state senator was hospitalized with COVID-19-induced pneumonia. Wisconsin state Sen. Andre Jacque was hospitalized on Aug. 16 after he tested positive for COVID-19. Jacque, a Republican from De Pere, is one of the Legislature’s most conservative members and a vocal opponent of mask and vaccine mandates. His spokesman, Matt Tompach, stopped providing updates on his condition last Wednesday. On Friday night, state Rep. Shae Sortwell asked his Facebook followers to pray for Jacque. “He is in serious need of your prayers tonight,” Sortwell said. “He is in the hospital with Covid induced pneumonia.” Tompach on Tuesday again declined to provide any update on Jacque’s condition. The last update, provided a week ago, said Jacque was “tired but in good spirits.” Jacque, 40, said on Aug. 16 that he was at the hospital with pneumonia but he was “largely asymptomatic with the exception of fatigue.” Jacque’s office has not answered questions about whether he was vaccinated. Jacque has been outspoken against COVID-19 vaccine mandates, including sponsoring vetoed bills that would have prevented government officials or business owners from requiring proof of vaccination. He, like other Republicans, opposed the statewide mask mandate that the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down in March.
Anti-vaxx lawyer for dozens of Capitol rioters is now on a ‘ventilator’ with COVID-19 https://www.rawstory.com/lawyer-john-pierce/ Attorney John Pierce, who has represented Kenosha, Wisconsin, shooting suspect Kyle Rittenhouse as well as more than a dozen Capitol rioters, reportedly is on a ventilator after contracting COVID-19. Pierce's illness was first reported Wednesday after it prompted a hearing for accused Capitol rioter Shane Jenkins to be delayed, according to independent journalist Marcy Wheeler and Washington Post reporter Rachel Weiner. "Pierce is not AT this hearing, he sent the lawyer from his office who is not barred in DC again," Wheeler reported. "Mr. Pierce is in the hospital, we believe, with COVID-19, on a ventilator, non-responsive," one of the attorneys who was present reportedly told a judge. The judge ultimately continued the hearing until next week, saying, "Send our best wishes to Mr. Pierce and his family." Last week, the Daily Beast reported that Pierce recently reinvented himself as "a go-to lawyer for conservative causes célèbres." "But even as his star rises on the right, Pierce has been undermined by a bizarre tweet appearing to threaten federal officials, an employee facing felony charges for allegedly defrauding a grandmother, and his own financial woes," the Daily Beast reported. Jenkins, the Capitol rioter, was recently denied release after a judge determined he represents a danger to the community and a flight risk. He allegedly destroyed property while trying to break into the Capitol, and threw a flagpole and desk drawer at police. On his Twitter account, Pierce posted several messages stating his opposition to vaccines and mask mandates: (Read the anti-vax tweets from this hospitalized loser at above url)
