After 8-month COVID-19 battle, GOP Rep. David Byrd urges vaccines, says they 'should not divide us'
NATALIE ALLISON JULY 30, 2021
The moment before Rep. David Byrd was put under, he realized it might be the last he'd ever see of this world.
From a COVID-19 intensive care bed at Saint Thomas Hospital in December, terror came over the Republican state legislator from Waynesboro at the thought.
He has no memory of the next 55 days, when Byrd's family knew they might begin planning a funeral as he remained on a ventilator and continued to become sicker.
At the time of his hospital stay, receiving antibody therapy wasn't an option for the 63-year-old.
For all but two weeks in April, Byrd spent eight months in hospitals and at a rehab center, a recovery period he describes as brutal and lonely, when his frame withered to bones and he couldn't walk, use his arms or do much for himself.
He missed the entire legislative session, which lasted from January to May and included numerous efforts by Tennessee Republicans to restrict the ability of government, and in some cases businesses, to enact public health precautions.
Months before, Byrd had joined Republican colleagues in voting for a resolution saying news media had "sensationalized the reporting on COVID-19 in the service of political agendas."
During his recovery this year, Byrd's liver began to fail, resulting in jaundice and a diagnosis of covid cholangiopathy, and ultimately the need for a liver transplant June 12.
After nearly dying, Byrd is back home, and he has a message: It's foolish to think COVID-19 will only wreak havoc on people believed to be high risk, a category in which Byrd did not previously place himself.
"I hope that by sharing my experience it helps others to act against an enemy that knows no skin color, economic status or political affiliation," Byrd said in a statement to The Tennessean on Friday.
Byrd was sworn in to the 112th General Assembly Friday morning, since he was unable to take the oath with his colleagues in January.
The rural, conservative former teacher and principal said he understands people who are hesitant to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
The shot wasn't available before Byrd was diagnosed with the virus the day before Thanksgiving — a day after he and fellow House Republicans, including some anti-maskers, gathered at the Capitol to elect new caucus leadership. Days before that meeting, the caucus also held a multi-night retreat.
"To them, I would say covid is real and it is very dangerous," Byrd said of vaccine skeptics. "It is a disease that wants to kill us. Please take it seriously. Please consider getting vaccinated. This is an issue that should not divide us."
Byrd declined a request for an interview. In response to a list of questions submitted by The Tennessean, he released a statement explaining the sickness and the treatments he experienced over the last eight months, and urging those around him to take steps to avoid being in the same position.
The experience deepened his clarity on the importance of family.
"I am not looking backward, but rather focusing on today," Byrd said.
Byrd's near-death experience and extended recovery from COVID-19 follows a tumultuous few years for him at the state Capitol, where he regularly faced protesters calling for his resignation in light of allegations by three women that he had sexually assaulted them as teenagers in the mid-1980s.
The women said the abuse took place when Byrd was their teacher and basketball coach at Wayne County High School.
He has not publicly denied the allegations. In a statement shortly after the women's stories came to light in 2018, Byrd questioned the motivation of his accusers and insisted he had done nothing wrong during his time in office.
Despite telling fellow House Republicans in August 2019 he would not seek reelection — and Gov. Bill Lee personally asking Byrd not to — he filed to run just before the deadline in April 2020, easily winning his District 71 seat again.
In his statement, Byrd said he is full of gratitude for the care he received at Wayne Medical Center, St. Thomas Hospital, Tennessee Select, West Tennessee Health Care, Vanderbilt Medical Center and Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital.
He was "spared by the grace of God and these gifted medical professionals," Byrd said.
"Life is a miraculous gift that I am humbled beyond all odds and explanation to receive a second chance at living," he said. "I am the first to admit, I am not deserving of God’s grace in receiving this miracle."

Glad to hear that...keep in mind this virus strain ain't like the flu. We still don't know what the endgame will be but I know I wouldn't want to die from it if I could have prevented it.

This is interesting
I thought they would get hate for having a gathering period
Not because only the vaccinated can attend
I think it's in poor taste when we are trying to get people to stop gathering, but it looks like he is taking precautions.
I said the same exact thing initially
Same thing
But then I saw the reaction from the unvaccinated
Is Barry and Chele playing chess?
Making it like if you ain't get the shot you always gonna be left out?
desantis fired the lady that was incharge of the data becos she wouldnt fudge numbers for him
They want to do a mask mandate and he said he'll cut funds if they do? is that legal?
Unfortunately there's no one to stop him. 4 out of the 7 justices on the Florida Supreme Court were appointed by either Desantis or Rick Scott.
Da Fuq? I hate this country
So anyone can do what they want, even if it's immoral, unethical and illegal, butbif they appointed a judge or two those judges will rule in their favor instead of what right?
Fuck this place
Went and got Moderna today.
I was holding out until there was an FDA approval.
Couldn't take anymore chances.
Plus I saw this video yesterday and I said fuck it.
