Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton has been battling severe pneumonia in a hospital intensive care unit, daughters of the famed American gymnast said.
A Tuesday post on a crowd-funding page by Retton’s daughter, McKenna Kelley, characterized the Hall of Fame gymnast as being critically ill. Another daughter confirmed the illness to NBC News.
On the crowd-funding site, McKenna Kelley wrote: “My amazing mom, Mary Lou, has a very rare form of pneumonia and is fighting for her life. She is not able to breathe on her own. She’s been in the ICU for over a week now.”
‘Rare form of pnuemonia’ -> it’s COVID and she’s unvaccinated.
It seems very suspicious that she could afford this home but didn’t have health insurance. As if not having health insurance was a choice she made rather than a circumstance of her life.
Ummm, so it’s somehow her fault? Victim-blame much?
How do you know she’s unvaccinated? Can you share some context for that statement?
I hope what you’re saying isn’t true, because first of all, calling COVID pneumonia “rare” would seem like an outright lie to me.
But secondly, Retton was a hero to a lot of people, and it would be such a shame if this sort of stupidity became a blemish on her history.
“…a very rare form of pneumonia…” so that equals COVID? Go back to reddit, where facts don’t matter and speculation reigns supreme.
Reddit gonna do it again!
