A California man who mocked Covid-19 vaccines on social media has died after a month-long battle with the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports, Stephen Harmon, 34, died on Wednesday at Corona Regional Medical Center, about an hour east of Los Angeles. Prior to his hospitalization, Harmon shared a series of jokes on social media about vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI got 99 problems but a vax ain\u2019t one,\u201d he wrote in June on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another tweet the same month, he made fun of the Biden administration\u2019s outreach efforts to push vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBiden\u2019s door to door vaccine \u2018surveyors\u2019 really should be called JaCovid Witnesses. #keepmovingdork,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to report published by news station KCBS-TV, Harmon had been treated for pneumonia and critically low oxygen levels in the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three days before his death, Harmon shared that he was being placed on a ventilator and asked his followers to pray for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t have faith that God can heal me over your stupid ventilator then keep the Hell out of my ICU room, there\u2019s no room in here for fear or lack of faith!\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
