“I didn’t see the white light or anything like that,” the 84-year-old actor said of his brush with death. “There’s nothing there.”
Al Pacino revealed on a podcast over the weekend that he almost died during a bout with Covid-19 — a near-death experience that left him pondering his mortality.
Pacino, 84, was plugging his memoir, “Sonny Boy.” on The New York Times’ podcast “The Interview” when he recounted how in 2020 he fell sick at his home from Covid and the situation quickly became dicey.
Pacino said that he had a fever and was dehydrated with a faint pulse and that he lost consciousness.
If people like him had shared these sort of stories more in the early days, it might have helped more Americans to take it seriously.
People straight up knew people their age that died, and STILL didn’t get vaccinated.
It is hilarious because people were “really dying” of “other things” when the virus destroyed kidneys they “really died of kidney failure.” When it ravaged and stopped the heart it was really “heart disease.” Lungs, pneumonia. But definitely not the virus.
People are fucking stupid and we deserve whatever happens to us.
