As I've mentioned a few times, my wife's brother-in-law died from Covid last month. He started feeling ill on a Thursday (just a bad cold he said), went to the hospital the following Tuesday, and was dead the next day. He of course was unvaccinated because he'd bought into the bullshit conspiracy theories being pushed by his sister.
The family had a memorial service for him this past weekend, and that very same sister was there telling everyone that would listen that she's now vaccinated. Not a single word of remorse for helping to kill her brother, but after seeing first hand what a killer Covid can be she decided it was time to protect her own ass from it.
Whatever...... at least there's one more person contributing to our herd immunity helping us to get past this pandemic.

(19,038 posts)On all of these death bed stories about Covid, I have yet to see one Covid victim show regret for spreading lies that killed people. At most it's regret that they placed their families in danger, more often just regret for themselves for being so sick.
But each and every anti vaccine meme, story, and video these people shared on social media helped ensure other people died. Yet, no one from the "personal responsibility party" takes an ounce of personal responsibility for helping to kill people.
