Herman Cain had a choice between life and death.

He chose to not wear a mask. He chose to disavow this virus, in doing so he chose not to value his life. These choices influenced others to follow his example by not wearing masks or taking precautions. I don't think he benefitted the public so he's becomes just another stat for the covid death count.

Cain was a boil on the ass of our society.

And Godfather's Pizza still sucks.

I wish no one any ill, but I’m sure not going to get to worked up regarding his failure to take even basic precautions and the consequences of his failing to do so.

Maybe, just maybe, some pizza-loving conservatives will start wearing masks.

...how he ruined his reputation. If he hadn’t gotten ambitions beyond his reach & capabilities, if he had simply retired, he’d be remembered as a gifted surgeon.

Now?

A fool.
