The leader of a Hawaii anti-vax group caught COVID-19 and almost died. He now supports vaccines and wants his group's protests to stop.
The founder of a Hawaii group opposing COVID-19 rules and vaccine mandates has asked people to stop.
Chris Wikoff, who was recently hospitalized with COVID-19, previously dismissed it as "a little flu."
He told local media he is considering getting vaccinated now.

The cofounder of a Hawaiian group protesting vaccine mandates and COVID-19 rules is now calling people to end the cause after being hospitalized with the disease himself.
Chris Wikoff, 66, said he no longer wanted to participate in the group and asked for his name to be removed from the members' list, Hawaii News Now reported Monday.
"I want to mind my own business and isolate," he told Hawaii News Now.
Wikoff cofounded the Aloha Freedom Coalition in October 2020 in response to a lockdown order which the group said was ruining business and threatening individual liberties, Hawaii News Now reported.
The group now opposes vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. On Sunday it called the White House "traitors" for considering vaccine passports for air travel.
Wikoff said he previously believed vaccine mandates and passports seemed "over-the-top totalitarian control" because he didn't believe the disease was that serious, Hawai News Now reported.

instead of killing him, are you saying they paid him off?
could be a possibility... Kamala was in Hawaii a few weeks ago.

And people who are against guns, get killed by guns.
Life is life. Wise people are not easily influenced by what others think.

I bet he begged his doctor for a shot, but the doctor said, "I'm sorry, it's too late for that", and while he was on his death bed, he had an epiphany that mandating vaccines is way better than the personal choice he was previously advocating for. Never mind that he was 66 and in the age group that is most likely to die from corona virus. Because he made a bad choice, you need the government to make good choices for you. lesson learned. Bless this poor man's heart.

Ever knotice it's the exact same storie every time begging for the Vaxx
My only problem with this is EVERYONE knows it dosent work that way this is not a new thing you can't take the flu shot after you have the flu no one actualy thinks like this
Than always sorry it's to late for that I don't buy any of thease stories
Just change the names a new storie in 3 days there fabricated I find it had to belive that many groupe leaders don't understand how a vaxx works
They just look for people who are against the naritive and check to see hospitalizations know they will either be dead or recovering to long to opose the bs and if they do just retract it later no one acctualy checks after the headlines are made
