That have spouted their nutty beliefs in public and on film and then died. Perhaps their anti-message followed by a quick shot of their funerals. You could make a full length movie out of it easily.

Vaccine in itself would have most likely prevented his untimely demise.
But the same people who don't want to mask usually refuse to vaccinate. Go figure.

He was only 30.
I don't know that he would have even qualified for monoclonal antibody therapy, as that is supposed to be for people at risk of covid complications.
But then again, conventional treatments presumably didn't appeal to him anyway.

he didn’t go to the hospital until it was too late because he didn’t want to be a Covid statistic.

He harassed DMV workers for wearing masks etc...
He held loud protests
He wasn't just some ignorant, he was very active in the Texas Freedom Defenders group...
I'm surprised he wasn't at the Capitol on Jan 6th.

…was even shitty people do good things. I bet even Ted Bundy did nice things in his life. Of course helping a Senior with their groceries in the parking lot doesn’t make up for his crimes.

Not every evil person will be evil 100% of the time. And I’m sure at some point even the Mother Teresa’s of the world get fed up and think things like “Jesus H. Christ, will you put the fucking mask on already?”

life that wasn't at least somewhat transactional. Just some act done out of the "goodness of his heart", without any expectation of getting back something in return.

I’m all out of compassion when it comes to these stories. I know, “maybe a vax skeptic will get the shot”, “if one person changes their mind”. In the meantime these self centered freedumb fighters literally die to follow a psychopath buffoon who suggested injecting bleach or putting a light up your ass.

Some of the comments on DU about this man’s death (there are multiple threads) make me sad. While I certainly don’t agree with his choices and I do stipulate and agree that his choices put others in danger, I can’t be happy about his passing because of these little girls. Their lives are forever impacted.

My best friend through thick and thin of 30 years is vaccine hesitant.

I've offered him $500, $250 per shot, clear cold hard cash.

This is a train wreck in slow motion. My heart is heavy because I stand to lose someone who is so close to me.

I haven't been sleeping because of it.

While I knew all things must come to an end, I always thought it would be of old age or something of mechanical stupidity, not by something so preventable.....

Considering that he will be leaving four children fatherless. (The fourth is due in a few weeks.)

His Herman Cain Award is well earned. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/pdfvie/update_on_caleb_wallace/

I don't think the gofundme will go that far for a single woman with four young children and no means of support.

I feel really bad for the kids.
