The usual disclaimer; We genuinely wish him well, this is a young man with a family, a tragedy.

The prognosis for Caleb Wallace, a 30-year-old father of three couldn’t possibly be grimmer. He is in a medically-induced coma, ventilated and in the ICU at Shannon Medical Center in San Angelo since Aug. 8, according to San Antonio’s Standard-Times. His wife started a GoFundMe page for household and medical bills, in which she said that he was intubated multiple times, had high fevers, infection and bleeding in his chest.

Three children, the three truly truly innocent ones, more likely than not about to lose their dad, are – at best – going through a trauma that none of us would wish upon anyone. Caleb Wallace is not innocent, he was an anti-mask organizer. Much more below the video:

A Texas man who helped organize protests against pandemic restrictions is fighting for his life after being hospitalized for nearly a month with COVID-19, the San Angelo Standard-Times reported.

His wife, Jessica Wallace, wrote Wednesday on Facebook that she had a “heartbreaking update” about her husband, Caleb.

“He’s not doing good. It’s not looking in our favor,” she said. “His lungs are stiff due to the fibrosis. They called and said they’ve run out of options for him and asked if I would consent to a do not resuscitate. And it would be up to us when to stop treatments.”

“My heart just can’t. I can’t imagine my life without him.”

In July, Caleb Wallace reportedly helped organize “The Freedom Rally,” an event that billed itself as a protest against the “government being in control of our lives.” He also founded “The San Angelo Freedom Defenders,” which hosted a rally last year to “end COVID tyranny.”

He wrote a letter in April to the San Angelo Independent School District and published by a local news outlet demanding that the school district “rescind ALL COVID-related policies immediately.” He falsely claimed that wearing masks had harmful effects on children and that there was “little evidence that masks worked for anyone.”

When he first felt symptoms on July 26, his wife told the Standard-Times, he refused to get tested or seek medical care. He instead began treating himself with a cocktail of Vitamin C, zinc, aspirin and ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that has been falsely promoted as an effective treatment for COVID-19 by conservative media. He was taken to the hospital on July 30.

He first felt symptoms in July. A life-saving vaccine had been available since March at the latest. We presume that anyone who was so stringently anti-mask was also anti-vaccine. We can also safely presume such because he’s knocking on death’s door. Vaccinated people can get sick, they do not end up in the hospital. Instead of the vaccine, he trusted horse paste.

We hope he recovers. We reserve our right to be furious. And our hearts are broken for the three kids who will someday understand the stupidity of his father’s choices.
