In reply to the discussion: A Texas GOP leader railed against vaccines and masks. Then he died of covid. [View all]Marthe48
(23,350 posts)36. a year ago
when people died, I felt really bad for them and their survivors, because Covid-19 was new and not clearly understood.
Now, a year later, attitudes and comments like this are ridiculous. Many Covid-19 infections will be less horrific and many deaths are preventable because scientists worked around the clock to make a vaccine.
I said it a month ago, and even if it is ghoulish, I'll say it again: if people don't step up and get vaccinated, I think there will be fewer swing states in the next election cycle.

It is like a participation award (reward) for these anti-vax fools who die of Covid.

Total A-hole. Typical Repug. Millions of him. I'm rooting for the virus at this point.
