Fox News
Texas gubernatorial candidate Allen West stressed the need for alternative treatments to COVID-19 besides “forcing” inoculation, sending a video message after the unvaccinated hopeful for the Republican nomination was released from the hospital Monday after contracting the disease.
"There are so many other protocols out there that we should be recommending to people. This should not be about forcing people to take a certain shot," West said, wearing blue jeans and an American flag Wrangler T-shirt. "We should be offering and making sure people are aware of all these protocols that are out there and that’s one of the things that I’m going to be committed to doing. I want to make sure the Texas Medical Board, Texas Nurse Board, Texas Pharmacy Board never interfere in getting in the way of what’s best for you and your relationship with your doctor and your body."
He said the monoclonal antibody infusion therapy "really helped us cleanse out and now we have double to antibodies in our cells," while Budesonide nebulizer treatments "made a huge difference in my lungs."
