Pierce is currently representing roughly one dozen suspected Capitol Rioters, and has been very vocal in his opposition to the COVID vaccine. While every infection is a tragedy, it is becoming harder and harder to have sympathy for people who suffer as a result of their own ignorance and arrogance, as Farron Cousins explains.

And attorney by the name of John Pierce, according to reports is in the hospital on a ventilator, unresponsive Suffering from COVID-19 On Pierce is the lawyer who represented, uh, Kyle Rittenhouse. He is also currently representing roughly one done thousand Capitol rioters. And Mr. Pierce has Also been an avid, uh, I guess you would call anti-vaxxer questioning what he called this a, you know, experimental vaccine. He's been anti mask on his social media, And now there's a Good chance. He's not going to pull through =Because of this COVID infection,
As I repeatedly said. And I'm a say it every time I get no joy reporting These stories, I do Not find any pleasure whatsoever in reporting on another anti-vaxxer or anti masker Coming down with COVID and getting Seriously ill or dying from it. But I am either here or over at ring of fire. I am going To talk about every single one of these cases that makes the news Why, because these are teachable moments and sure, basically
The people that, uh, Mr. Pierce has chosen to defend the people he's going out and seeking to become their lawyer, you know, written house 12 Capitol rioters. Sure. I'm willing to bet. I don't agree with Mr. Pierce on quite possibly anything whatsoever, but this isn't about politics. This is about human life life and the preservation of that human life.
Every case, every Case that results in situations like this as a tragedy. And let's be honest here. If these reports are accurate Because Was due in court, did not show up for court. And then it was revealed, uh, according to a lawyer at his firm that he was in the hospital on a ventilator, unresponsive having COVID. So that's, that's how we know this information. Not many people pull out of that. And I don't know if unresponsive means that he has lost consciousness or if they have put him in a medically induced coma, which is also something that has commonly happened with people, kind of get
To a little Too far gone from COVID, especially if he's ventilator that combination unresponsive and on a ventilator. Not many people have come out of that situation with COVID. So I don't know what's going to happen with Mr. Pierce, but it's not, not looking good for him at all. Especially based on what we've seen from other individuals in a similar situation. But again, let Me read some of his tweets here. This is, this is terrifying.
All I know it was the entire 82nd airborne. Couldn't make me get an experimental government vaccine stuck in my arm. Now the one says, this is absolutely a final phase designed purge of patriotic Americans from the army prepare for anything and everything. At this point, this goes deeper than anything. I thought even a few months ago, no one should be taking any of these vaccines, least of all the military. I personally think anyone who trusts the government to shoot some vague unknown vaccine in their arm for a virus, with origin of a CCP, biological weapons lab is taking a very, the big risk And so on and so forth.
Doing lies. He's spewing misinformation. He spewing things that he knows nothing about. And now there's a very good chance. This man is never going to leave that hospital. It is sad. And as I've said, I take no joy in these stories. Well, one thing I'm gonna tell you now I'm starting to run out of sympathy.
I am an exceptionally empathetic human being. I hate to see suffering of any kind. Even if it's somebody I despise, I hate human suffering. And I do not wish this upon anybody, but we're kind of hitting the point now where it is getting a little tougher to have as much sympathy as you would like to have for some of these endeavors vigils, You knew the risks.
You've seeing the stories of these other individuals who go in and say, oh my God, I wish I'd gotten the vaccine. When I get out like Phil Valentine's family said, oh, when I get out of the hospital, trust me, I'm going to change my tone on vaccine and tell everybody to get one.
