The guy who made parody songs about COVID vaccines? Last I heard he was on a heart lung machine. I have a Darwin Award waiting for him when he checks out.

Edit: He’s now just a memory

They object when others get help, but in the end, they are always the
ones who end up shitting on everyone and everything going out the door.

Those $20/mo food stamp assistance payments that they rail against
will pale to the millions of dollars that each of these chumps rack up.

I wonder if each refuser has different reasons. The ones I've heard have been on the order of:
(Disease issue)
Covid's a hoax. No one really died.
Covid's just like a cold. Those 600k died of something else.
Covid only happens to the old and obese and sick, and who cares about them.
Covid happens to other people, but only kills the old and obese and sick, and they deserve it, or no one cares about them, or that's nature's way.
I'll never get Covid-- I am in good shape and eat right and take (some vitamin).
If I get Covid and die, that's okay. It will be God's will and I shouldn't interfere with a vaccine.
I won't get Covid because I take (something I bought off a site for Trump-Pillow Guy believers).
If I get Covid, I'll take this animal med I heard about on Facebook.


(Vaccine issue)
The vaccine doesn't work.
The vaccine doesn't work and embeds some bad thing in you.
The vaccine works but also embeds some bad thing in you.
The vaccine is made from dead baby adrenochrome. Someone on a Q site told me that.
The vaccine is a massive hoax meant to prove that the Bad Powers can get all the sheeple to do what they say.
The vaccine is really dangerous. It causes (something that will eventually show up).
The vaccine makes you sterile.
The vaccine is slow-acting poison. You're all going to die, and we'll still be around and take over the earth.


It's like none of them have heard of Occam's Razor. The simplest solution is-- the politicians and pharmaceutical companies and doctors and nurses and epidemiologists all actually know what they're doing and actually want to save people's lives.

But how boring is that.

(And the antivaxxer would just say, well, either they're in on it, or they're fooled too.)

A friend’s brother-in-law has been in the hospital with covid since early March. He just died on August 2nd.

He was a rabid Trumper as was his wife. My friend had an irreparable falling out with her sister over their wanton disregard for any Covid safety measures.

Actually I feel bad for his brother, your friend. You know he loved his brother. And to watch him descend into conspiracy world and then die must hurt.

I have cousins who are trumpers, but we were never close and if they died of Covid I could give a shit. Probably have not seen them more than 8 times in my life and I’m 55. Only know their politics because my sister does Facebook which I don’t. But a brother is way different. He is as a big part of your friends life. Even if my sister was a huge trump fan(she’s a liberal) if she died I would be devastated.

Make sure you offer him a shoulder to talk on.

So sad. Sometimes I wish I could be as callous as my opening suggested. But I’m a bleeding heart liberal. I can’t celebrate anyone’s brother dying.

My friend is the wife’s sister.

My friend is devastated at both her Brother-in-laws death and because their craziness caused it.

But actually posting a wish for the death of another human? Wow, that’s another level.

So glad for the trash thread function.

Which, though has improved over time with COVID patients is still less than 50%. Meanwhile the cost of such care is typically bankrupting.

Estimated 90-day in-hospital mortality was 37.4%, and mortality among those who completed their hospitalization (final disposition of death or discharge) was 39%.

helped kill so many already, via murderous abuse of their technological megaphones.

The more people like him die, the better off the US is. Better this way than in a violent, kinetic civil war/dissolution of the Union.

I am just gobsmacked at the amount of people who dismiss those possibilities out of hand, simply because.... 'Murica.

They cannot even say, 'Well, it has never happened here before.' It has, and it is headed that way again.
