No, actually, him being hospitalised actually got him well-wishes from across the UK political spectrum. Even some ardent critics of his expressed worry when he was admitted to the ICU.

Indeed, I'm a leftie and I was worried when he went into an ICU. I disagree with his politics but this was bigger than all of that.

Baroness Morgan, a former member of Johnson’s cabinet, said she was bombarded with messages and texts from people who were not necessarily supporters of Johnson or the Tories. “People just seemed to need an outlet and, like all of us, were thinking ‘my God I can’t believe this has happened’.”
[...]
Even Johnson’s fiercest critics were swept up by the national mood of sympathy. A former colleague from Johnson’s days as a Brussels journalist said: “I regard Boris – who was a friend – as a liar and charlatan for the way he has behaved, including over Brexit. But when I heard he was in intensive care I just felt this extraordinary wave of sympathy for him.”

That sounds a little blasphemous. Is OP setting Boris Johnson up as the Antichrist now or something?

Well the politicians in my country that I disagree with aren't as bad as their American equivalents so I suppose that helps. I mean, the Conservatives are heartless, elitist bastards, but I'd still take them over the Republicans!
