They ended up catching covid from their unvaccinated granddaughter. The grandfather ended up on a ventilator and suffered cognitive harm from his ordeal. He lost his ability for independent living. The grandmother is on life support and not expected to live. That’s the sort of reality that results when idiots like Archibald use their bull horn to spread misinformation, so he is as guilty as the those spitting on health care workers as far as I’m concerned. In this world of celebrity worship, people are influenced by guys like Archibald. Yeah, he’s a small time celebrity, but he still has some name brand recognition. People want to hear #### that supports the narrative they want to believe. Guys like Archibald provide that.

So the elderly couple aren’t responsible for their actions? It’s archibalds fault? He made two tweets in may , if that convinced or changed someone’s mind I would think that person was going to believe it anyways. If you get medical info from a hockey player that says a lot about you.
If the elderly couple are anti vaccine then a couple people on here are hoping they die. They were part of the problem, or is it just anti vaccine celebrities? Were the elderly couple on Twitter?
