Man who made fun of COVID dies of virus

From KTLA-TV, Los Angeles (posted July 24):

A man who mocked COVID-19 vaccinations died this week at a Los Angeles-area hospital after contracting the virus.

Stephen Harmon was 34.

Harmon died on Wednesday at Corona Regional Medical Center, about an hour’s drive east of Los Angeles.

Three days before his death, Harmon tweeted: “If you don’t have faith that God can heal me over your stupid ventilator then keep the Hell out of my ICU room, there’s no room in here for fear or lack of faith!”

Before his hospitalization, Harmon had made fun of vaccination efforts on social media.

“I got 99 problems but a vax ain’t one,” he said in a tweet last month.

On July 8, he posted: “Biden’s door to door vaccine ‘surveyors’ really should be called JaCovid Witnesses...”


As tempting is to say "Serves you right!" or some other snide comment, I have to wonder how many other people were exposed to the virus by HARMon. How many patients had to cling to life waiting for a bed in that ICU, or for access to a respirator? And how are the hospital staff coping with this latest wave?
