Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska
Fred Hoiberg has had two open-heart surgeries, he has a pacemaker that makes his heart beat and because of his pre-existing condition, he was two weeks out from getting the vaccine when he woke up in the middle of the night last month with chills, body aches, a headache and chest tightness.
Hoiberg, 48, took some meds, woke up feeling better — he hoped he had eaten something bad or had a bug — and he headed in for his daily COVID-19 test. As he was driving home, he got the call he’d tested positive.
