New York Times: Dying In The Name of Vaccine Freedom

1. Powerful.

2. Holy fucking cow.

I don't know when I've ever felt so much like punching a whole bunch of people in the face as much as I did while watching this.

I've actually never punched anybody, in the face or anywhere else. But omg, some of THOSE people..... 👊👊👊

3. Apparently seriously ill, perhaps dying Chris was NOT forced to get vaccinated. Not only do these

folks embrace alternative science, they also claim they are being tied down and force vaccinated! So they have non-existent enemies against whom they make a ridiculous, self-destructive stance.
Sad! Absolutely health workers and hospital staff should get vaccinated or get out, barring solid medical reasons they can not be vaccinated, most of which would mean they also wouldn’t be able to work.

10. At the end of the video...

They said he died 9 days later.

4. Does it strike anyone else

That this reaction of “don’t tell me what to do “ is immature?

I mean get over it already.

I didn’t see your post when I wrote mine, and I wanted to add that I liked how you described this. Nonexistent enemies. Ridiculous,self-destructive stance.

6. It reminds me of men I've known

who couldn’t keep a job because they didn’t like being told what to do.

Of course they fact that they don’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of is somebody else’s fault.

7. He Did Get Over It

He died, from his own stubbornness and stupidity. Sorry, zero fucks to give. I don’t even sympathize with his parents, since they apparently raised a dumbass. We’re better off without people like that.

8. .."that this reaction of...

…”don’t tell me what to do” is immature?”

Precisely. I just retired from 48 years in pediatric nursing. Libertarians remind me of nothing so much as toddlers and preschoolers stamping their feet and yelling, “You’re not the boss of me.”

5. You just want to throw up your hands

and say okay go die.

If only it was that simple, but no. Before that happens they have to get busy spreading the disease and then taking up space in the hospital.

They do a lot of damage before they die.

It’s just so infuriating.

9. "I Don't Like Being Told What To Do"

He doesn't have that problem any longer.

11. It doesn't help matters when only 50% of staff is vaccinated

I say let the unvaccinated staff treat the unvaccinated. Vaccinated staff shouldn't be put at risk of catching the variants.
