“At the start of this pandemic, I was antivax,” he explained at the outset in a TikTok video released five days ago.
The Quebecer says his wife became pregnant during the pandemic, but they still decided that she would not be vaccinated.
“The inevitable happened. We both caught the COVID together, pretty solid thank you”, he confided on the social network. “I could not believe my eyes […] We were really messed up.”
His wife unfortunately ended up in intensive care at the Saint-Eustache Hospital “She’s been there for five days. It’s still going well,” he said.
“I confess to you that having known I should have been vaccinated. […] the appointments are already made and I’m just waiting for that, “he said, adding that catching COVID-19, “it’s close to death”.
Thanks to his testimony, he hopes to change the minds of as many people as possible and he invites all unvaccinated people to protect themselves against the virus.
