A North Carolina man whose wife is receiving treatment for stage-4 cancer made a TikTok video criticizing those who claimed to believe the pandemic was fake or who don't trust the vaccine, going to the hospital for treatment when they catch the virus.

Jason Arena who runs the account @speakthetruth101 didn't mince words in his video telling vaccine deniers to stay home.


The video has since gone viral, with many on different sides weighing in.

Arena's wife is battling stage-4 cancer. They've taken what precautions they can, and everyone eligible for the vaccine has taken it.

His wife was taken to the hospital for some treatments of her disease. Despite the doctor recommending her blood pressure be lowered and ordered a scan, they were discharged from the hospital before that could happen.

What might cause a hospital to rush or skip treatment on a cancer patient?

In the video, Arena shares a troubling statistic.

"Here is my question: Ninety-nine percent of everyone that's in the hospital for [the virus] right now is unvaccinated."

This likely comes from recent data showing that less than 1% of breakthrough cases of the disease comes from people who have been vaccinated in Arena's state. This is particular to serious breakthrough infections, as less serious cases would likely not seek hospitalization.

Arena continued with a curse-laden ultimatum for anti-vaxxers.

"If you really f***ing believe that [the virus] is not real, and you really believe that's not a big deal, and you really believe that you don't need to get the vaccine, that's your f***ing right. I'm not gonna argue with you about that."
"What I am going to argue with you about is you running to the hospital once you get the virus. If you don't trust the medical field to prevent you from getting it, why do you trust them to cure you from it?"

Arena blames the unvaccinated for taking up room in the hospital and forcing out people like his wife.

His idea that people who willingly don't get the vaccine shouldn't seek treatment when they catch the disease.

Not everyone was onboard; some tried to defend their choice or argue that it's no different from other types of incidents that might lead to hospitalization.

Those with medical experience weighed in, both professionals and patients who have to regularly deal with hospitals.

The debate has been ongoing across the internet.







This goes beyond just antivaxxers seeking hospital treatment when they get sick. They also might go for it when they poison themselves with an alternative "cure."

Recently, there was a massive increase in sales of a drug called ivermectin with some believing it could treat the disease. However, the drug is usually sold in doses for horses to fight off parasites, not for humans, making more work for poison control centers.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
