He was the picture of health and he never thought he would get COVID-19. But now a local ICU patient has a positive prognosis and a unique way to help others.
From a hospital bed, Erick Mejia says he caught COVID-19 at a party. He’s a DJ and he says he caught it from someone on the dance floor.
“I said, you know what, I’m far away, there’s only a few people, I’m not going to wear the mask. I made a horrible decision and it cost me greatly,” he said.

A mask wouldn’t have helped you anymore Sir. I’m sorry that you got Covid though. What was your near death experience? I didn’t catch it here?
Do not take the shot!!! Stop wearing masks!!! Quit being a sheep.
The Japanese are heroes leading the way through research….Ivermectin allowed in Japan. Cases way down. Latest: Japan places myocarditis warning on 'vaccines'!!! Hallelujah for transparency and protecting ones people! Where the you make profit when the people are healthy and so the incentive is to keep people healthy! Unlike some other countries who make billion off of the sick…what you think they want to keep you healthy when the opposite for them is true! Big pharma are starting to be pursued and sued.
Oh ok, so no one’s gna state the obvious? Make me be the A-hole? That’s fine – Being grossly obese is definitely an underlying medical condition and you either had diabetes, high cholesterol, blood pressure, or all of the above – not what you see if you google “healthy”
He gained all of that weight on hospital food?
worst headline ever. im glad he’s going to be okay but dont waste our time with that bogus tag-line.
Still not getting jabbed! 😆
Oh!……..and he is 100% sure that if he hadn't removed that paper thin mask with holes so big you could drive a bus through them, he would still be covid free today. Maybe he should wear one during his online session, just to be safe!
Great video! Let’s all live in fear and mask up continuously! It happened to him, it could happen to you! Be afraid, live in fear, and most importantly, obey all mandates as the government and media care about us and want us to be safe!
Lucky guy! On all kinds of O2, but talking without any restrictions! God bless!
These experiences where people claim to have gone to Heaven, Hell, or Heaven and He'll are not based of fact.
Humans do NOT have a spiritual body but have a natural body,are flesh and blood and cannot enter a spiritual place such as Heaven or Hell as they are not Spiritual beings.They are terrestrial beings. it is after the first resurrection that those who are saved will have their bodies changed and be immortal 1st Corinthians 15:40. 42, 44 and 53 & 54 and be as the Angels of God in Heaven Matthew 22:30.
the unsaved at the second resurrection will be judged and undergo a second death according to Revelation 21:8
Verses from the Hebrew-Greek Study Bible King James Version Red Letter Edition Publisher AMG PUBLISHING
Whereas Angels are Celestial beings and have a Spiritual body and can reside in Heaven or Hell.1st Corinthians 15:40
As well when one says that Hell is eternal this is not true for Hell is to done away with according to Revelation 20:14.
The saved do not go to Heaven and the unsaved are NOT being tormented in Hell and the Spirit/Soul does not leave the body during a supposed Heaven/Hell experience after death as humans do NOT have a Spiritual body and or have the capacity to do this.
in Ecclesiastes 9:5 The dead know nothing.
he should lose some fat. Fat people and esp diabetics at high risk, so stop shoving in the sugar!
We are going to lose 2 generations to the jab – baby boomers & generation y
That isn’t a near-death experience.
Click bait
He was cheating on his wife?
PLS RE TITLE, THIS ISN'T A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE. I gave thumbs down bc of the misleading title. idk if u did that to intentionally be click bait or if the person who posted it didn't know the difference but i watched all the way to the end thinking it was going to be an NDE. and it wasn't.
New scientific documentation from Europe finally made our news that obesity is like an autoimmune disease; it has to do with the fat cells and their lack of protection to the virus.
Not true
Erick needs Jesus.
He may have nearly died but this is not a near death experience. SMH
Sounds like he caught a cold and panicked went to the hospital and guess what, you have covid. Just be happy they didn't kill you.
"I Never Had Any Health Problems" him being so overweight is a health problem…FACT!
Obviously overweight. COVID and vaccines seem to be relentless with overweight people.
B A I T A N D S W I T C H – C L I C K B A I T – D O N O T W A T C H ! ! !
This is not an NDE.
Mmm… not an NDE.
It didn't turn into double pneumonia. It was pneumonia in the first place.
Lies open your eyes you sheep
Always unfortunate but saying because I wasn't wearing my mask is not the reason. If mask made a difference then the numbers would be much lower
CLICK BAIT AND VACCINE PROPAGANDA BLA BLA BLA BYEEEEE
find another term for the title because it's bot near-death experience.
I'm giving this a thumbs down not NDE
This isnt an NDE this is a lame attempt to pimp drugs for the government.
His experience isn't an NDE just like this news channel isn't reliable.
God said tell the people covid is a lie,
I didn’t come to hear vaccine propaganda, I came to hear about the events of his near death experience
What does he mean no medical issues? You're fat. We need to stop telling people like this it's a medical issue in itself. Stop being fat, and you'll have a better life all around.
? Where's the near death ..EXPERIENCE
Where’s the near death experience??
😨😰😰😱👀
Huh??? LOL, what a joke.
@picture of health: so he gained weight while being at death's door from COVID?
Obese
Wow! The best book I have come across that explains near death experiences and your soul is by author, scholar Dr. Shmuel Asher. Soul Revolution. I found it on amazon.
Media Drama…
Clickbait. Not at all a near death experience.
