Some of whom died because they cared more about making a point than being alive to raise their kids. Refused a few free safe easily obtained shots. Wonder how those kids will feel about that?

6. This is the most recent thing I could find

...a modeling study published in the medical journal Pediatrics in October estimated that more than 140,000 children in the U.S. lost a parent or caregiver to COVID-19 from April 2020 through June 2021.

That number has now grown to more than 200,000 children, Dr. Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at Harvard University and a co-author of the study, told Newsweek.

5. Yep. Just learned of a father of 4 who died of Covid. Anti-vaxxer

The kids have a mother who earns very little money. They will be impoverished for decades to come.

7. A lot of people tried to make this a Blue State Flu or a Pandemic of the Unvaxed, when it's really

simply a mass dying and disabling event has huge social, economic and cultural implications for all of us, and which aren't being addressed because people want it to be a political gotcha instead.

8. I'm sure if workplace vaccinations were widely available

Some of the dead would still be alive.

If one is living paycheck to paycheck, taking a day off may mean no food on the table and/or falling behind on the rent.
