He revealed on Monday he caught the virus again and he got so sick he was hospitalized for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>His latest illness was of what he called a \u201cfar, far more serious strand,\u201d adding that his \u201cvery compromised immune system\u201d did not build antibodies for the virus the same way a healthy person\u2019s would have.<\/p>\n<p>That, he said, led to him contracting pneumonia and landed him \u201cin intensive care for quite a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was really touch and go,\u201d Cavuto said Monday on his Fox Business show. \u201cSome of you who\u2019ve wanted to put me out of my misery darn near got what you wished for! So sorry to disappoint you!\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n<p>Cavuto also used his forum to urge people to get vaccinated against the virus. \u201cLet me be clear: Doctors say had I not been vaccinated at all, I wouldn\u2019t be here,\u201d Cavuto said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was scary. How scary? I\u2019m talking, \u2018Ponderosa suddenly out of the prime rib in the middle of the buffet line scary!\u2019 That\u2019s how scary,\u201d he said, referring to a recent brawl that took place in the Midwest after the steak restaurant ran out of meat.<\/p>\n<p>After weeks of unexplained absence, Cavuto thanked all of his colleagues who filled in for him as host.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Neil is back! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WgDJm0OU5Z\">pic.twitter.com\/WgDJm0OU5Z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Neil Cavuto (@TeamCavuto) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamCavuto\/status\/1495840063686594567?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 21, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here\u2019s what Cavuto said to open his show: \u201cSo tell the truth a lot of you didn\u2019t think you would see this day, did you? And now you\u2019re relieved. I bet even overjoyed probably pinching yourself, aren\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said many viewers had postulated theories about his absence, citing a few and noting Fox didn\u2019t mention why he was gone because \u201cthey were honoring my wishes out of respect for my privacy, even though they were getting a lot of heat trying to protect my privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t really hiding anything. I just felt that I wasn\u2019t the story,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about you. It\u2019s not about me, just like this show. My opinions don\u2019t matter. You matter. The news matters. But this did drag on a long time for me. So you really do deserve an explanation from me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did get COVID again, but a far, far more serious strand, what doctors called COVID pneumonia. It landed me in intensive care for quite a while and it really was touching some of you wanted to put the out of my misery darn near got what you wished for. So sorry\u00a0 to disappoint you, but no, the vaccine didn\u2019t cause that. That grassy knoll theory has come up a lot,\u201d Cavuto said. \u201cMy very compromised immune system did because I\u2019ve had cancer and right now I have multiple sclerosis. I am among the vulnerable three percenters, or some of the population that cannot sustain the full benefits of a vaccine. In other words, it simply doesn\u2019t last.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut let me be clear, doctors say had I not been vaccinated at all, I wouldn\u2019t be here. It provided some defense but that is still better than no defense. Maybe not great comfort for some of you and frankly not great comfort for me, either,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not here to debate vaccinations for you just to offer an explanation for me. I knew that. I didn\u2019t want to become the story, but for many of you I did. So now you know the story. Time to get back to far more important matters. And now I will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent, and ran the Drudge Report from 2010 to 2015.
