'Things are not good right now': Jordan Peterson battling COVID-19 — U.K. report

'He'll get better, but he's definitely taken a step back and it's just really unfortunate ... it's been a disaster,' Peterson's daughter told the Sun

nationalpost.com

He's had a rough year, hopefully he'll have a fast recovery.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

The guy is fighting some serious dragons. I think his recovery from drug addiction is still playing a role here. I can't imagine that his immune system is fully recovered.

 

[Hesemonni]

Thoughts and prayers.

 

[O-N-E]

At this point, I'm hoping he's a Saiyan.

 

[Rentahamster]

Dude can't catch a break. Hope he pulls through.

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

I hope he manages to battle through.
If not, at least he won't see the world crumble like he has been warning about.

I think he's one of the more important figures of the last few years, bringing some old wisdom back into the public eye.

 

[Darko]

I saw Jordan p and thought it was Jordan peel, damn my dyslexia

 

[DeepBreath87]

Yeah I guess I’m confused on how they allowed that to happen considering what he’s been through. Although there’s only so much you can reasonably do to prevent it.

 

[Naibel]

Damn, life can be such a cunt sometimes... He really doesn't deserve it. Hope he pulls through, his voice is sorely needed and his loss would be terrible for people still clinging to common sense, reason and decency in this crazy crazy world.

 

[Insane Metal]

Damn man, the interview I saw (which EviLore posted here I think) was really sad, dude ended up in tears... he had a pretty bad year and now this... FFS, hope he gets well soon

 

[Kadayi]

Hope he pulls through. We need his voice out there railing against the insanity.

 

[Falcs]

Dammit. I really hope be pulls through ok.

 

[levyjl1988]

 

[OmegaSupreme]

What a year. Here's hoping 2020 doesn't claim him. He's done so much to help so many. We need him back as strong as ever.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Some people just cant catch a break.
Hope he can pull through..

He had enough shit to go through over the last year.

 

[Anki]

I am rooting for you Jordon Peterson.
Get well soon.

 

[Yoda]

Am I mis-reading the article? It sounds like he HAD covid-19 (past tense):

“He was put on a whole bunch of, kind of preemptively, he was put on anti-virals and things,” Mikhaila Peterson told the Sun. “I don’t know if that was necessary, because his symptoms weren’t that bad — he didn’t have a cough, he had a mild fever, but they just put him on everything.

 

[V4skunk]

Corona virus is common cold and a scam.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

He should take the red pill for treatment

 

[Entroyp]

Man that sucks, Dr Peterson can’t catch a break lately. Hope he gets through.

 

[Entroyp]

Corona virus is common cold and a scam.

Are those his words? Is he on the CV is a scam camp?

 

[O-N-E]

He should take the red pill for treatment

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

He should take the red pill for treatment

That account suicide thread lied! YOU WHORE!

 

[Bolivar687]

I saw Jordan p and thought it was Jordan peel, damn my dyslexia

 

[OmegaSupreme]

No

 

[manfestival]

wow this is really awful... I really hope he manages to pull through. He is a voice that this world has needed for so long.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

That’s sucks. Hope he, and all other Covid victims, get through this.

 

[mortal]

Hope he recovers soon. These past couple years have been rough on JBP.

 

[manfestival]

MrS what is haha about my post?

 

[MrS]

MrS what is haha about my post?

Specifically "he is a voice that this world has needed for so long". Hyperbole much? I like him, enjoyed his take down of Cathy Newman but I'm not about to take morality lessons from a junkie/barbiturate addict or whatever he was hooked on. Obviously I hope he makes a full recovery from Covid, that's nothing to joke about or make light of.

Is it hyperbolic? Sure. Is that wrong or wrong to be hyperbolic? Nah. Though it is pretty convenient to dismiss him("I'm not about to take morality lessons from a junkie/barbiturate addict or whatever he was hooked on") over this addiction. It is also ok to appreciate someones accomplishments and works while also acknowledging their missteps. This isn't even the equivalent to a fat guy trying to give workout advice either(not saying you are saying this fyi).

 

[Deleted member 17706]

If he comes out of this and makes anything close to a full recovery, it's going to be insane. Can't imagine the stories he will have to share.

Corona virus is common cold and a scam.

Tell that to Herman Cain and hundreds of thousands of others who, for one reason or another, get ravaged by it. It's a really weird virus, because it's nearly harmless or very mild to so many, but can be a death sentence for a small minority of people, even if they appear otherwise quite healthy.

 

[M.W.]

Corona virus is common cold and a scam.

 

[DragoonKain]

Hope he gets back to 100% soon, we need his voice right now. I miss hearing him. He'll come out even stronger on the other side of all this.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Some people have terrible luck. Hope he recovers soon.

 

[Sakura Doritos]

2020 can eat a bag of dicks.

 

[Chankoras]

Corona virus is common cold and a scam.

Common cold is a corona virus among many varieties of corona viruses.
when you say is a scam, so you mean it doesn't exists, or that people is doing scams using the corona virus as the bait?

 

[TrainedRage]

Don't read the ResetEra thread.
They want him dead so badly.

 

[EviLore]

Best wishes for a full recovery.

 

[ipukespiders]

Well that fucking sucks.

Don't bother. He is a bit of an idiot when it comes to Corona.

 

[DeafTourette]

Get well, young man! I may not agree with him but I don't wish ANYONE getting this, even if it seems it's past tense like someone said.

 

[poppabk]

Not sure what sounds past tense about that.

It would not be hyperbolic to say this man has made the world a better place for millions of people at this point. Directly through his lectures and indirectly through the work of the lobsters.

For me particularly he was a gateway drug to symbolism and meaning, and a perfect antidote to the disenchantment of the world. Me and many of my friends hold a deep affection for JP.

His public persona/political activity is a very small part of what he is about.

The "junkie" comment is nothing short of inhuman and shameful.

 

[nush]

The hits keep coming for Peterson, I hope he can make a full recovery from this.

 

[Kenpachii]

My god this guy can't get a break.

 

[autoduelist]

He empowered millions at the cost of his own health. I hope he recovers so he can see the beauty the seeds he has sown will grow into with time.

 

[Nymphae]

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Eh.

At least it'll keep his mouth shut for a couple more weeks.
