Ep 473: Paralyzed to Podium: Drew Outstanding’s Savage Comeback Against the Vax Mandate Nightmare
Buckle up, Ones Ready fam, because this episode is a gut-punch of raw truth and unrelenting grit. We’re sitting down with Drew Outstanding (@drewoutstanding on X), a badass Army vet who went from slinging Applebee’s two-for-20s to slaying in Iraq, only to get sucker-punched by the DOD’s “safe and effective” COVID vaccine mandate. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t safe, and it damn sure wasn’t effective. One day after the jab, Drew was paralyzed, thrown into a medically induced coma, and diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. He spent six months as a human vegetable in the VA, drowning in his own saliva while bureaucrats played CYA. But this guy? He’s not just surviving—he’s thriving, hitting extreme sports, speaking truth to power, and making sure the world never forgets the COVID clown show. With Peaches and Jared dropping their signature sarcasm, this episode is a middle finger to the machine and a battle cry for resilience. Don’t miss it, unless you’re cool with Big Pharma running your life.
Key Takeaways:
- The Mandate Mess: Drew’s story exposes the DOD’s vaccine mandate as a reckless gamble that left him paralyzed and fighting for his life. “Safe and effective”? More like “shut up and comply.”
- Grit Over Everything: From a coma to scuba diving and sit-down skiing, Drew’s recovery is proof that sheer will can flip the bird to even the darkest odds.
- No Apologies, No Accountability: The system that pushed the jab still hasn’t owned up. Drew’s on a mission to make sure we never forget the lies and lives wrecked.
- Speak Your Truth: Facing hate mail and censorship, Drew’s advice? Show up, tell your story,省市 and let the world know what’s what.
