From his hospital bed, Philly Baird has been actively encouraging people on social media to get vaccinated.
Once he was admitted back into the hospital, doctors told him he had a 50 percent chance of survival if he did not go to the ICU. Baird told the TV station he was scared, but a phone call from his best friend convinced him to take the next step.
He has since been in the ICU for the past three weeks. After experiencing the severity of COVID-19, he has been sharing his struggle on social media., Baird has been posting updates about his condition. In one message, he wrote, in part:"Trust me, you do not want to be fighting for your life like how I am every minute of every day in ICU. I hurt every day. Not only the physical pain but the major emotional and mental pain.
He continued,"I cannot walk—I cannot even use the bathroom without complete help and loss of every bit of energy stored up. I need a machine to give me oxygen to function."Speaking to KCRA about his social media messages, he said,"I will use my voice to help others realize this is real." Before he was sick, though, he believed in anti-vaccination propaganda, he told the TV station."I was an idiot. I didn't get the shot, I believed in all the hoopla.""It's not going to stop you from getting COVID. Don't be stupid," he said."It's just going to prevent you from fighting minute by minute to be with your loved ones."
