“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'” Huffington Post reports.

“Caleb Wallace, a 30-year-old father of three, has been unconscious, ventilated and heavily sedated in the ICU at Shannon Medical Center in San Angelo since Aug. 8, the Standard-Times reported. His wife said on a GoFundMe page for household and medical bills that he was was intubated multiple times, had high fevers, infection and bleeding in his chest. 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.'”
