Pre-disposition.  They could have done a serum test on him like everyone else. They at this moment with a 90%+ accuracy know who will have a "covid cloud" and who isn't.  Also, with training people, he probably took on a sizeable viral load.

42 days in the ICU and they were giving him a 1% chance to live.
Covid symptoms only last 2-14 days.  He had to have a serious pre existing condition to be in ICU for 42 days.  I sense a new breakthrough recovery supplement marketed by him soon.

Phillips had an earlier big success with his video (originally on VHS tape) below.   This was in the late 90’s when he had founded and was running EAS supplements.  If I recall correctly this is his brother on the cover:

Phosphagen was the first creatine on the market if I remember.

I also liked the EAS packets they sold for meal replacements.

He had COV last year and didn't get the vaccine because he thought he was immune.  However having antibodies dont protect you and when he got hit with it again,  it was worse

He is recovering now but he has a tremendous amount of damage to his lungs so outcome in the future is very poor in my opinion

A packet of strawberry myoplex blended with a banana in ice water was one of my favorites.

With all his supplement connections, he needs to come up with a readily available Ivermectin product.

Could be a case of ADE (antibody dependent enhancement). It's strange that someone with immunity from a previous infection would get ill at all let alone so severely ill like this. If his immune system were weaponized against him, that would explain what happened. Who knows what the vaccine would have done in his case.

Still not taking the jab.

Odd are that it would have kept him out of the hospital or at least out of the ICU

So many sheep in the World. I’m sure it’s Covid that caused his issues, just like every other weirdo claiming Covid when they likely have some other disease they are trying to hide. SHEEP!

yeah, that makes a lot of sense  ::)

If he had some other disease he was trying to "hide" then why even go public in the first place

It's not like someone was going to out him from having some unnamed "other" disease

Just one of those nes that get hit very hard by this. Some barely get it, some die, some are in the middle.
No one knows if the Juice-Jab would have helped him much.

Not even Howard or Straw.

It may have, it may not have. The jab has killed some, like the Gal I know who was pressured becasue of her job (HS Teacher).
Some people can have a bad reaction to any med.

Too bad its a man-made virus that the medical companies are cashing in on, lives are ruined by the WUHAN lab and Fraudci.
