Kristy Swanson hospitalized with 'COVID-related' complications

Original “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star Kristy Swanson has reportedly been hospitalized with “COVID-related” complications.

“Prayers for me please. Yesterday I took an ambulance ride to the hospital. I’m still here with pneumonia, I’m on oxygen etc, all covid related of course. I’m in good spirits and in great hands,” the 51-year-old actor wrote on Twitter Monday.

More than 21,000 Twitter users offered support in the form of “likes” and retweets.

At the same time, the ’80s icon has drawn criticism for her openly held opinions against vaccination, with some on the platform calling her a contender for the “Herman Cain Awards” — a topical take on the legendary “Darwin Awards,” which honors recently deceased individuals who perish in decidedly stupid ways.

Of course, former presidential candidate Cain, who denounced coronavirus safety guidelines set by health officials, infamously died as a result of COVID-19 infection in July 2020. He is among one of the most high-profile political figures to die of the preventable disease.

One Twitter user, claiming to be a hospital nurse, also reprimanded Swanson, urging her to get jabbed as soon as possible.

“I’m sure you are in the great hands of doctors and nurses who are stretched to the max because of people like you — who not only won’t get vaccinated but encourage others not to,” they wrote. “Signed, A tired nurse.”

“GET VACCINATED,” they added below the signature.

The Post has reached out to Swanson’s rep for comment.

Swanson made headlines in 2020 when she was cast in a theatrical retelling of the controversy surrounding former FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau attorney Lisa Page, who, in the throes of a “Bonnie and Clyde”-esque affair, sought to prevent the election of former President Donald Trump. The play, performed at Los Angeles’ Hudson Theatres and aired on YouTube, starred Swanson as Page and “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” actor Dean Cain, 55.

Both performers are advocates for the Trump administration and made attempts to discredit the science of COVID-19 prevention.

In an update hours later, Swanson thanked fans for their prayers: “Thank you all for the prayers it truly means a lot to me. I can feel it.”

She added, “Just little more clarification & update, I was just at the tail end of my Covid diagnosis when it jumped into my lungs. So they are treating me with Baricitinib & blood thinners so I don’t clot. I’m ok.”

Swanson also expressed gratitude to the hospital staff at Virtua Memorial Hospital in Mount Holly, NJ. “They are so on top it and have a wonderful staff,” she said.

“My night nurse is Rose and I love her because she takes care of me and that’s my mom’s name Rose. The paramedics in NJ are super pro, friggin amazing and hot AF! I’m doing great.”
