Texas woman calls COVID-19 a hoax She is now dead from her willful ignorance

[egbertowillies]

Sadly, this is not the only time someone has lost their life or had their lives disrupted by listening to the president and his sycophants. Who could forget the man who died ingesting the antimalarial drug or the couple who continued with their cruise?

1. Just goes to prove that willful ignorance is putting all others surrounding these people in harms'

way. If I were next to such a person, I'd order them off my property, out of my house (they wouldn't be there anyways), out of my church, etc. They are willfully putting others in danger for THEIR beliefs, not mine or ours.

She's dead. Somehow I'm not mourning. There are far more people, far more better, that I would prefer to mourn, should they bite the bullet w/ the CV. Now, all she is, is just a statistic, proving that one should listen to the medical experts, who are being proved right again and again.

I'd say that if you have such a person in your midst, it would be seriously a time to reflect whether or not you want this person in your life, who is so nonchalant about your family's or friends' lives. Times now-a-days are dictating who really is your friend or not. Thank god most of us are concerned w/ the welfare of those around us. Be safe.

4. I believe this story may be a hoax

I started tracing the links from the article above to find the source of this report, it leads to a largely unsourced article at the Progressive Humanist's website, that references Tweets of people who reference the alleged tweets of the woman who died. But when I go to Twitter and search her name "Karen Kolb Sehlke," while I find plenty of tweets talking about her and this story, I find no account for her.

I'm not saying it definitely is a hoax, and the story is certainly not outside the realm of possibility. I would just urge folks to be a little careful about distributing this story, until it has been confirmed as being true.

6. Not really . . .

. . . if you click on either of the Tweets in the post above, it takes you to an image. It does not take you to Karen Kolb Sehlke's actual Tweet (which it would if the person were including it in their Tweet). What's more, the woman is said to have died on April 2. I seriously doubt her Twitter account would have been taken down that quickly. And you have no way of knowing whether those were actual screenshots or fabricated images. It would take someone all of five minutes to produce this in any image editing application.

11. When I go to her Facebook page . . .

. . . the last post on her page is from November 2019, long before anyone was talking about the coronavirus. There is a post about a GoFundMe that she herself put up in 2012, obviously unrelated to COVID-19.

Also, when I go to her GoFundMe page, it says that further contributions were disabled by the organizerof the GoFundMe campaign, which could just mean that they met their goal.

If anyone can provide a link to the actual Facebook post, then maybe I'll be inclined to believe it.

12. I'm going to self-delete since I am not sure.

Sorry for wasting your time. I figured since someone captured the post with screenshots that it looked legit. Didn't say it was just that it looked that way.

I don't do facebook and I wasn't thinking about how there is a bunch of crap on there posted using fake identities so with that said I'm self deleting.

10. I went to her personal Facebook page and there was almost nothing there. The few posts there

are separated by years. For what it may be worth, you could read through this linked Facebook page. I agree with your concerns, however. I had to ask a friend on Facebook to pull down a bogus post about the coronavirus yesterday, and he is an intelligent person and a progressive. Sigh.

13. And note that your link goes to a Facebook Group

. . . a group that seems to exist solely for the purpose of propagating this story. Very suspicious! And the profile for the administrator of the group, who posts the story about her death, one "Rae Ruffaner", shows only posts about Ms. Sehlke's death, and lists NO friends.

Sorry, but all is not Kosher with this story!

14. killed by sheer stupidity!

anyone who buys anything that Fox says as truth only has themselves to blame! Maybe her death will be a wakeup call to others who believe the same BS! And when they die, they will only have themselves to blame too! If the coronavirus can kill off many Fox viewers, that means there will be fewer crazy republicans around who only believe in conspiracy theories!

15. Yeah, but she owned the libs. And to her, that was way more important.

She was taught to hate and it came back and bit her.
