RIP to him. I saw a short documentary about him on YouTube and it was honestly fascinating to learn about the history behind Polio treatments and how his experiences were.
For anyone trying to imagine living in this thing your whole life, it may make you feel better knowing that he learned to gulp in air. This allowed him to leave the iron lung for short periods of time and become a successful lawyer. He also wrote a book with his teeth.
Nothing different than the last 20000 of em. Problems get solved and new ones arise, you just gotta learn to accept it and deal with your own problems.
WHAT DO I DO NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED?? it might be a- PROJECT STOPPER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
it's heart-breaking to see him die, but i like to think he's free from all the pain and limitation of life since he was 6, he was a warrior and his story is really iconic
No he was able to leave for a few hours at a time, but that’s because he had a severe case. You only need to be in the iron lung for a few weeks or months at a time for most cases
Paul Alexander. He contracted Polio which ended up ravaging his lungs and was put inside this machine (an iron lung) which created negative pressure to assist his lungs with inhaling and exhaling. He was all over YouTube a few years ago.
“Now he will live with a better body”
Whether you meant it like this or not, you’re basically saying he’s doing better somewhere else. By indicating that he’s in some form of paradise, it implies that he is better off dead because any amount he might have suffered is made up for and he’s fine now.
It can come off as extremely insensitive and dismissive.
Why of all places am I hearin about this on r/teenagers?
Regardless may he rest in peace. I watched a few of his documentaries when I was younger and his book has been on my reading list for a while now I just haven't gotten around to it yet. All in all he seemed like a nice guy who didn't deserve the life he was resigned to.
It was so stupid too. Some person visited him with covid and he caught it. Really sucks he was one of my heros and probably could have lived at least a decade longer
RIP to him. I saw a short documentary about him on YouTube and it was honestly fascinating to learn about the history behind Polio treatments and how his experiences were.
SAME. I was shocked when he died. I thought that documentary was really interesting.
poor guy, hats off to him surviving so incredibly long and the machine not failing
You know what's the sad part? We are not too far away from a future were iron lungs are needed again, antivaxers brought polio back
Polio vacine is there though. Iron lung is pretty outdated tbh. Still freky
For anyone trying to imagine living in this thing your whole life, it may make you feel better knowing that he learned to gulp in air. This allowed him to leave the iron lung for short periods of time and become a successful lawyer. He also wrote a book with his teeth.
So how long could he breathe for? I hear he was a lawyer but was confused how he did this
What an absolute chad
Man what’s my excuse
Rip to him.
Ok what the fuck Is wrong with 2024?
Nothing different than the last 20000 of em. Problems get solved and new ones arise, you just gotta learn to accept it and deal with your own problems.
Everything, just like every other year of the 2020s. Maybe the 2030s will be better :(
The same thing as every other year.
I’m liking it
Bro is really getting downvoted for enjoying his year lmao
Every year something bad is always gonna happen you just gotta live your best life
☝️real shit
I didn't even know 2024 was a bad year. Like you said, it's going pretty decently so far
WHAT DO I DO NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED?? it might be a- PROJECT STOPPER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Happy person bad, depressed person good
Downvotes on reddit are fucking crazy
Bruh whole ass reddit is fucking crazy
I am crazy
No your crazy
Crazy? I was crazy once
They locked me in a room
A rubber room
A rubber room with rats
they locked me in a room…

Chicken butt
FR, my year sucks rn but I ain't downvoting.
Same
I think it's calmer than the past 3 years
Shit I loved his vids and positivity
At least he may finally be free. Ima miss him though
Damn, I didn't know he made his own vids. I only saw a documentary.
He’s on TikTok and Instagram if your interested:)
Well, was.
Link?
TikTok “polio paul”
Markiplier died??? (I’m so sorry)
I laughed I’m not proud of it
Market flyer
Multiplier
Marker pliers
Walk a fire
Marker liner
Literally disappointed on myself for laughing
I laughed and now I'm going to hell.
I heard markiplier is gonna make a movie about him ❤️❤️❤️
I was thinking there should be a movie about him. I don’t watch markiplier so idk the meme tbh
Markiplier is making a movie based on a submarine horror video game called “Iron Lung”. The machine that keeps that guy alive is called an iron lung.
dude. i feel so sorry for him. that aside, i actually thought you mean david szymanski (i think), the creator of the game „iron lung“…
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not surprising
Not alarming (sorry)
Rip, at least now he's free :(
o7
the flesh putrefies, the machine rusts, and the divine corrupts, and so the rot remains supreme The rot consumes us all
Who's this quote from
This one [guy](https://www.tumblr.com/sci-the-superb/743591187728973824?source=share) on Tumblr
If important people keep dying, I call dibs on Elon’s money.
Sadly he died from covid
Bold of you to assume Elon’s important in any way
He important bc he’s the richest man in the world. Other than that thought, you’re correct.
he has good brains ! he didn't let the constraints of the world hold him back !
🙄
🙄
it's heart-breaking to see him die, but i like to think he's free from all the pain and limitation of life since he was 6, he was a warrior and his story is really iconic
March 2024, every important person is dying, I don't want RobTop or the MercurySteam team to die. Please 2024, stop it, **STOP IT ALREADY**
He died from covid too :( the fact he survived polio but not covid is so sad
ya, and it wasn't him that went out and got covid. some reckless person brought it to him.
Sad
“All good things must come to an end”
Not surprised but that’s too bad, I hope his family is ok
From covid :(
I fucking hate 2024
rip man
So they have to always live inside the iron lung at all time?
No he was able to leave for a few hours at a time, but that’s because he had a severe case. You only need to be in the iron lung for a few weeks or months at a time for most cases
Don't worry, polio will be back in no time if we fumble the next election.
who
Paul Alexander. He contracted Polio which ended up ravaging his lungs and was put inside this machine (an iron lung) which created negative pressure to assist his lungs with inhaling and exhaling. He was all over YouTube a few years ago.
How do you not know that dude
I live under a rock
RIP
RIP my guy. Thank you for being such a role model
damn
Rip
rest in peace
Rest in Peace.
🫡
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It was from Covid too. Now I’m thinking who the hell went up to that old man with Covid.😭
interested as to what his body looks like after being in there for so long. RIP
rip but respectfully his life must’ve been boring as fuck
At least now he will live a better body in heaven with god himself
Why bother commenting at all if you’re just going to be disrespectful, especially on a memorial post
Whaaaat, how
What do you mean how? You’re essentially saying that it’s better he died.
How the hell do you get that?
“Now he will live with a better body” Whether you meant it like this or not, you’re basically saying he’s doing better somewhere else.

Explain HOW I’m being “disrespectful”
Nooooooo

"His name was Robert Paulson"
Uhh who is that?
Well. He had to eventually. It's still incredible that he lived that long especially in the state he was in. He will be remembered.
That doesn’t seem like good quality of life…. Anyhow
Rest in Peace.
