In the past month, three prominent and well-liked (??) conservative radio hosts have died of Covid. The first was Florida-based Dick Farrel, the second was Nashville’s Phil Valentine and the third was Florida-based Marc Bernier, who passed away on Saturday. Bernier had been hospitalized since early August. These three men had one huge thing in common: they were all anti-vaxx. They were all vocal opponents of vaccines, vaccine mandates and science. Bernier even compared vaccine-promotion to Nazism.
Yet another conservative radio host who publicly spoke out against COVID-19 vaccines has died from the coronavirus. Marc Bernier, 65, a prominent conservative radio host from Daytona Beach, Florida, died Saturday after a nearly month-long battle with the virus. He is now the third conservative radio host to die from COVID-19 after publicly questioning the need for vaccines. Bernier wasn’t just a vaccine skeptic, he had even characterized himself as “Mr. Anti-Vax” at one point.
Bernier’s death was announced Saturday night by WNDB, the radio station Bernier had been a part of for three decades. “It’s with great sadness that WNDB and Southern Stone Communications announce the passing of Marc Bernier, who informed and entertained listeners on WNDB for over 30 years,” WNDB said in a statement posted on Twitter.
Bernier had expressed views against vaccines long before COVID-19. But he solidified that stance as the vaccines for the coronavirus started rolling out. “I’m not taking it,” Bernier said late last year. “Are you kidding me? Mr. Anti-Vax? Jeepers.” He also tweeted that the U.S. government was “acting like Nazi’s” because officials were urging people to get vaccinated. That was his final tweet, published on July 30. He was hospitalized on August 7 after he was off the air for a week. “If you’ve listened to his show, you’ve heard him talk about how anti-vaccine he is on the air,” Mark McKinney, WNDB’s operations director, told reporters after Bernier was hospitalized.
I know these men left behind families and friends and I’m sad for those people, genuinely. There was someone in my life who died from Covid before the vaccines were widely available, but it wouldn’t have made a difference because she was like this – anti-vaccine, thought the pandemic was a hoax, she went around maskless for months. Even though you know it’s coming for these anti-science, anti-vaccine people, their deaths still leave behind a lot of loved ones. All that being said, there is absolutely no reason why any adult anti-vaxxer should die of Covid in a hospital. If you didn’t care enough to get the vaccine, you don’t get access to doctors or medical treatment. F–k that. Go home and use those essential oils and tell yourself it’s just a cold.

I know it’s cold, but my immediate reaction was: good.
Yeah, I just can’t bring myself to work up any sympathy for these people (maybe their families, if I’m feeling generous…) They made their beds, and now they’re lying in them. I know it makes me sound heartless but at this point I don’t care.
I completely agree with you. Stay home if you are anti-vaxx. Leaving the hospital beds to those who need and deserve them.
Honestly, me too. And like it says in the article, he shouldn’t even have been allowed in the hospital. Stay home since you don’t believe in science, and leave the bed free for someone else.
This. These people should not receive medical treatment. And the real sadness here is that their very vocal, very loud, very publicized words of garbage likely caused someone else’s death. It’s one thing to die because you’re angry, privileged garbage out to make a name for yourself by being ignorant, it’s another to bring people down with you.
The family is no doubt asking for privacy because they don’t want to face the truth that their loved one chose celebrity over humanity.
+1
Me too. Well, ‘good riddance,’ but still.
These people exhaust me. The radio station’s twitter announcement . . . I can’t.
This man didn’t care about the lives of the people his misinformation spread Covid-19 to, so why should I care that he’s dead beyond being angry he died taking up resources that could have gone to someone that hasn’t spent the last year and a half willingly contributing to the death rate?
I’m surprised his employer wrote, “Marc Bernier, who informed and entertained listeners on WNDB for over 30 years”.
Really? They chose to use the word “informed”? I wonder if there are any liability issues for companies who have spread dangerous disinformation leading to death. They’d be better off if they had just said he “entertained” listeners for years.
+1 to infinity. I have zero sympathy for anti-vaxxers. I don’t think they should receive medical help, either. As others have noted, leave the hospital beds for people who actually need them.
Yep. Same here.
+1 – your choice, your consequences
Same. These conservative radio hosts are dropping like flies, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Meh.
It is cold and correct. Feeling the same way…stupid freaking idiots!!!!!
I feel terrible as well but yeah. They’re dangerous people. Live by the sword etc…
I feel for the family and yet…maybe I’m becoming a piece of shit…adios.
How many anti-vaxxers have to die before their followers realize they’ve been lied to?
These people are in denial about everything from the pandemic to racism to climate change. At this point, this is where their insistence upon “freedom” got them. Life free or die? Ok, your choice, conservatives. Your choice.
Unfortunately, it’s not going to matter how many people die from this. Covid/vaccine deniers live in a different reality. I know someone who posted that Covid is fake and I swear to God the next tweet was her talking about how she has it and can’t get any decent treatment for it. She continues to double down about the vaccine and masks though. I’ve cut these people out of my life because we’re not even living in the same stratosphere anymore.
This is what I keep wondering.
The rhetoric is evolving though… my sister went from being concerned about the mRNA vaccines’ development timeline (“it was so fast, is it safe?”) to full-on “Covid was developed in a lab and released on purpose to de-populate the earth and enrich those who have shares in the pharmaceutical companies that developed the vaccines, which will also give us cancer or autoimmune diseases and/or kill us and any website or article that refutes these claims is also controlled by these evil billionaires and can’t be trusted.” How do you argue with that? How do you try to convince someone who believes this to get vaccinated? When I mention all the deaths to her, she says “They make me sad, too… there’s been no need for these deaths.” So there’s an acknowledgement that covid causes deaths but they’re needless deaths because whoever released covid is the culprit.
I’ve got someone like that in my life as well. How do you reason with those people? If someone has a solution, please tell me!
Honestly it might have been released from a lab but it’s still deadly and she needs to wear a mask. I wish you luck.
So her logic is that some evil entity released a virus that is killing people now to get them to take a vaccine that will prevent them from dying now but will give them some terminal disease later? And she is choosing to…die now instead of later?
So now his family wants “privacy” when he blasted his idiotic views to people far and wide? I am trying really hard to be charitable about these vaccine deniers who die of COVID, but karma’s real, my friends.
Notice they do not even mention he died of COVID…… So can we assume they’ll fill his time slot with another anti-Vaxer?
It’s not really karma though, it’s simply the consequences of their actions. Unless you mean the seriousness of the consequence is the karma.
So many Christians are quick to associate deadly events/death with wronging God — funny how none of these anti-vaxxer “Christians” are spouting the theory that God is taking them out for spreading false information about the vaccines that He so graciously provided to the world.
Good point. Should be covered under the 10 commandments – 9 Thou Shall Not Bear False Witness Against They Neighbors.
The family likely needs some time and privacy so they can concentrate their energy on a go fund me page to beg for money.
OMG, yes. I have seen several articles this weekend about anti-vaxxers who died in the hospital from Covid…and now their families have GoFundMe accounts to pay the medical expenses. I feel obligated to point out that these are the exact people who repeatedly vote and speak against universal healthcare. They do not see the irony.
I keep reading stories about antivaxxers getting Covid and then saying they wish they had gotten the vaccine. I don’t know if this person changed his stance last minute, but it won’t change minds of his followers. My compassion has run its course, except for the families. I see myself wearing a mask for the rest of my life because of people like this.
They usually change their minds when they are about to be intubated. Up until then most of them cling to the belief that they just have a bad case of the flu.
One of the biggest anti vax/masker I know is still in the hospital due to covid and still doesn’t believe that they have it. They got taken to the hospital via ambulance when they couldn’t breath, we’re in the ICU for a week, tested positive for covid, but thinks that the hospital that is literally keeping them alive is lying about it. Now that they are nearly out of the hospital they are testing negative so that makes them even more sure that they never had covid. They aren’t telling anyone they were in contact with before they went into the hospital that they had covid. A lot people won’t change their minds no matter what. They would rather dig in their heels, endanger others, and die before they admit they were duped.
yeah i’m seeing a lot of social media posts from people in my hometown in the deep south that they or a relative have had to go to the hospital due to “pneumonia not covid” or “flu not covid” and I just shake my head, like hmmm there is a lot of pneumonia and flu all of the sudden for a 16,000 person town in the middle of the summer months.
Wow, that’s a powerful statement about human nature and the limits of our intelligence. My heart goes out to the hospital workers that had to deal with that patient.
Even when MO gov and his wife got it they had to emphasize ‘no severe symptoms’.
Honestly, that person did not deserve to take up a hospital bed or to take anyone’s time.
…
A local sports announcer man in my city just died from Covid and I don’t *think* he was loudly anti-vax, but he was definitely not vaccinated and his wife got it to and would sit in her car outside the hospital just to be close to him and no one could take care of her because she had it so she’s going through double the pain and his last text to her was to tell her to get the vaccine and spread the word to other people. So part of me has a tiny glimmer of hope.
The larger part of me just says “oh okay” when I read these headlines.
I have a nurse in the family working in a hospital in a large mid-western city. She worked the covid unit all of 2020, before being transferred to Labor and Delivery. She loved it there. Now the hospital is in dire straits and has her back on the covid ward, paying her $72/hr mostly nights watching patients in comas and intubated. She confessed it feels a little bit satisfying to get paid so much just to watch anti-vaxx/anti-mask/MAGAts slowly asphyxiate, knowing they brought it on themselves and likely took others down with them.
Anti vaxxers seem fond of the Bible (or more accurately, claim to be) so I’ll offer up something from Galations: You reap what you sow.
My sympathies are with the people they infected along the way.
I’m sad for those in their lives who knew these men were wrong, and frankly, stupid, and couldn’t convince them otherwise. It has to be incredibly frustrating.
I’m also sad for the doctors and nurses who had to devote more precious energy and resources to people who refused to protect themselves, and anyone they came in contact with and infected along the way.
I’m with you. I feel sympathy for the reasonable people in the lives of people like this man, but for the ones like him? I’d say maybe it’ll wake them up, but fear of their own mortality is the only thing that ever seems to bring them around and that’s not until it’s too late more often than not.
It’s also incredibly frustrating to me when someone like this gets Covid and then gets better easily or has a light case, like my grandmother’s best friend. She’s had it TWICE(!) and still refuses to mask up. How many people must she have infected each time, as she constantly complains about seeing masks when she goes out, which seems to be quite often? I shudder to think. She’s at least vaccinated, but twice? Really? I really just can’t.
Good. I have zero sympathy left for these assholes. Every ICU bed they take up because of their selfish behavior takes away a bed from someone who has had a stroke, a heart attack, or a terrible accident. They endanger the exhausted healthcare workers who treat them. They are antisocial menaces to society and I’m sick of it I’m sick of them weaponizing god in the name of their hatefulness. I’m sick of their gleeful ignorance and anti-intellectualism. I’m disgusted by their arrogance in believing a fucking YouTube video makes them as qualified as a scientist or doctor. Fuck them all.
+1
This.
I lost a family member who was a valuable member of the Heart Care Unit at his hospital. I feel nothing for these a-holes or their families.
yeah, I’m done with any sympathy. read a story of the weekend about a veteran (who these types claim to care about, right?!) who died of a treatable condition (Pancreatitis) because there were no hospital beds available. he eventually got one but it was too late, by about a couple of hours. F*CK THESE PEOPLE. when they show up at the ER, the first question should be “are you vaccinated” if they say no, they should be turned away.
+1000000
@Coji you summarized my thoughts on all of this so well. I couldn’t agree more!
💯 I could not agree with you more and with the same level of anger. So completely done and trying to stay the hell out of comment sections under any covid/vaccines posts on FB, twitter etc for the good of my health.
Darwin ” dogs with a sense of smell survives while dogs without a sense of smell dies, enabling all surviving dogs to have a sense of smell.”
Exactly, Jan. This is a perfect example of survival of the smartest and fittest as the dumbest and people in denial will infect each other and just die off. The ones I feel sorry for are those unwitting people exposed by these cretins, and all the under-12s who can’t be vaccinated yet.
In principle I agree, but in reality it’s dreadfully unfair to the uninsured (hand up, over here!) who have nothing but their overrun county hospitals to depend upon.
If I get sick, I’m screwed, but my mother and her new husband have excellent insurance, won’t get vaccinated, and have both been hospitalized for non-Covid-19 reasons this year, and immediately went back home after discharge, bringing their hospital germs along for the ride – no isolation period, because why should they? They’re fine, their faith tells them so! – back to my immune compromised, heart patient little brother.
I really thought I couldn’t hate that woman more after the childhood I had, but this year has taught me many new things.
Thoughts and prayers for those he infected because of his attitude.
Sad hill to die on. Thoughts and prayers.
I can’t muster up anything for this or ones like him.
My only disappointment is that he got vital care to try and save him.
With the clear racial discrepancies in medicine to the point of neglect, I’m tired. I am saving my energy for the people who are doing what they are suppose to do for the better of the people around them and still get caught up in the Delta varient.
The feel good happy story I needed to start the week.
I’m so angry at every single person who refuses to get vaccinated that I’ve become an awful human being who is relieved that there’s one less person out there who’s a threat to humanity.
Me too. I’m ashamed of myself for feeling like this, but…..
Right there with you these days.
Tots and pears
Spots and bears.
Just choked on my water from these 2 posts
Covid heard him and said “hold my beer”
Not feeling sorry for these a-holes or their families. They, through their political views and demonization of the vaccine has been responsible for this prolonged pandemic. They had powerful platforms to make a difference and instead decided to play politics.

How many friends and relatives did he infect before he was hospitalized? He filled a much needed ICU bed, that could have served someone else, because he was a selfish ass and science denier. Zero sympathy.
And now there are anti-vaxxers pleading for us to contribute to their GoFundMe accounts. Sorry, no.
Rails against socialism, then begs for handouts when faced with financial and health troubles.
The cognitive dissonance with these people is amazing.
That’s the thing though, charity is a huge part of capitalism. These people are totally fine with having other people pay for their bills, funerals, and med bills, as long as it’s through charity and not some form of democratic socialism/government program. Because with charity, they can sell themselves as someone “worthy” of charity— they’re the “right kind of people” who “deserve” a helping hand: conservative, white, suburban, churchy, “family values” types. This ensures that they can get their bills paid for but those other, non deserving types, the “urban welfare” crowd, are not being “rewarded” for their “lifestyle choices.” Their ability to raise a lot of money through charity “proves” that they’re good and righteous, that they belong to the right kind of social groups, the type of social groups with disposal money to give to people like them. It shows that wealthy and well-enough off people like them and see them as deserving of help and everyone wants to be liked by the wealthy, right? It’s despicable. They’re so obviously not against hand outs that they will beg for hand outs when they need them, they just don’t want someone they don’t like to get any help when they need it. And they think we should start evicting people again and definitely for sure not extend unemployment.
A school friend of mine posted a GFM for her sister’s family and I went to see what it was about before deciding to donate or not. Unvaccinated people should not be begging for money to cover costs they never would have incurred if they had just gotten vaccinated.
Yep, I’ve seen several that were like, “such a tragedy this 35-year-old husband died of covid, widow is a SAHM and she has no money for funeral costs or to support her kids” GoFundMe goal set at like $20K. Look at their social media and they’re all about freedumb from vaccines. I want to be a kind person, but, the audacity!!! Your husband should have thought about all that beforehand and invested in some life insurance to go along with his anti-vax attitude and his red hat.
I believe they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I will give them my old crocs.
I am reserving my sympathy for the innocent people he infected, that the people who are dying because they can’t get a hospital bed for heart attacks and other issues.
Today is everything unlike last year. There is no reason today to die of COVID because, hello? we have a vaccine to protect ourselves and slow the spread to protect others…?!?! For now, this is our only ticket to maybe go back to something that aproaches what our life was before. I miss my previous life, I miss my previous self.
I think we all miss our previous lives and our previous selves. The unfortunate thing is, even if the world goes back to normal at some point, we as people will never be the same.
::Jerry Seinfeld that’s a shame gif::
Lol! This is literally the thing that goes through my head when I see headlines like this one.
The only people I feel bad for are the potentially vulnerable people who unwittingly crossed this man’s path and may now be infected and the people who were prevented getting help or whose procedure was delayed because selfish, arrogant jackasses like him are sucking up all the medical resources.
If he hadn’t gotten sick, he would still be gleefully spreading his lies and not caring who got hurt. I don’t feel sorry for him or the other two anti vax mouthpieces who died either.
Ironic that them dying would help save lives.
All these science-denying antivaxxers end up looking the same to me: smug, slightly pudgy white males. No sympathy for these a-holes.
Apparently it’s going to take a lot of deaths for some people to learn.
apparently 600,000+ wasn’t enough. 🙁
Interesting that it’s only the true believer radio guys who are dying and not the Fox News hosts, who are publicly anti-vax but who have all had the shot.
If you work at Fox, you have to show proof of vaccination or be tested.
So the people stupid enough to follow these blowhards die, be it.
Well. When Karma decides she’s coming for you, she comes with fire.
My Mama, who NEVER says a bad word about anyone (other than that frightening Southern “why, bless your/their heart”) said that “God is thinning them out and sending them straight to H-E-Double Hockey Sticks” (she don’t cuss either)

Also.he absolutely deserved what he got and I cannot work up even a drop of sympathy
1. Of the three now deceased radio hosts, two were based in Florida. I’d be interested to know if they were possibly receiving funding from a certain governor/groups that would benefit politically from an anti-vax stance. I can’t post the link right now as I’m on my phone, however, I recently read an article that tied several anti-mask/vaccination groups that are routinely harassing school board meetings in Florida to DeSantis
Okay, tin-foul hat off…
2. Again can’t post the link because I’m on my phone. There is a really interesting article on the website The Editorial Board titled “Eill GOP voters go to war with corporations over new vaccine mandates? That would require sacrifice, though” by John Stoehr.
He posits that most anti-vaxxers maintain their stances despite watching like-minded individuals drop like flies from COVID-19 – they fear humiliation more than death. To admit Covid needs to be taken seriously would be to admit they were wrong, giving the “libs” a “win” despite the “win” actually being just an attempt to save lives. They’ve staked so much of their identities into this, an admission of fault would be devastating to their egos. And they can’t have that.
Vaccine mandates will also help them save face. If they are required to get vaccinated in order to participate in society, the choice is removed for them. It gives them something to complain about and say “see, I told you -control!”. However, most will not put up a real fight because most of them lack true conviction.
it the sunken cost fallacy philosophy. I’ve been saying this for a while.
(some of) these people KNOW they’re wrong but are too hard-headed to admit they were wrong. as you said, they fear humiliation more than death. they’d rather dig in their heels than do the right thing. it’s why they get so mad and assault the school-board members and others…they lash out BECAUSE they’re wrong and they know it. they turn their anger at themselves outward to people who ARE doing the right thing, and HAVE BEEN doing the right thing.
I feel like a slightly bad person for enjoying these stories. Just read one this weekend on a strident activist anti-vaxxer who passed, he spent the early days of his sickness taking the deworming pills.
That said, I read an article from a doctor about how an enormous portion of his patients are being treated because they ignored medical advice – not following doctor recommendations on diabetes, gout, blood pressure, smoking near their oxygen tanks, using drugs, elderly being treated for weeks or months after they have passed a point of no return. I’m definitely *not* saying someone struggling to follow advice they know is true is equivalent to this anti-vaxx madness. It’s definitely not, and the consequences for others and health care providers definitely are not the same. But it was still an interesting take, to hear him talk about how it feels to have to be patient and respectful, every day, with people who refuse to meet you halfway. He talked about how the tools they use to try and build trust and convince people are nothing new, and how they don’t have the luxury of giving up or writing people off.
I’ve been lately feeling more of the – just don’t take unvaccinated to the hospital if they don’t want to participate – so for me it was an interesting read.
I don’t care anymore if these people die. I’m more worried about keeping my under 12s safe. Their school is not mandating masks, there is no social distancing. My kids are sitting ducks because of people like him. I’m sad for his family, but he can rot.
I can’t understand the reasoning for not wearing masks in schools. It’s like do they not know how Covid spreads ???
When keeping it real goes right
I got a chuckle from your comment this morning, @Linda 🙂
I was listening to the head of a Louisiana children’s hospital that was in the path of the storm yesterday. He said the staff was already working full capacity due to Covid, that they were prepared to take in as many as they could still. Thankfully they had generators. I felt so badly for him and them.
There are a lot of idiot anti-vaxers in the state and they’re endangering medical personnel and potential storm victims, in addition to children. It’s so sad and infuriating.
In Texas this past week a two time Afghanistan war vet died from a gallstone because he couldn’t get a bed. Two days later a pro-Covid activist (that’s what I’m calling them now) died after a month in the hospital and three weeks on a vent. He had three little girls and a fourth on the way. Due to his public protests, his wife was able to raise 65k on a go fund me.
It’s maddening.
At this point, why are unvaccinated Covid patients getting first priority? It’s not fair to the rest of society that did their part but have to suffer or die because Covid deniers are so much more important.
I’m so ANGRY at the anti-vaxers that are taking hospital beds away from those that truly need it. We live with some of the worst human beings in our country. Selfish, terrible people.
Since this all began, I can’t stop wondering why people continue to put their own lives at risk and the lives of family and friends! As well as the lives of other people that they might come in contact with. Wondering what will it take to make sense to the people this is serious! Will it take a massive death of children before people wake up? will it take a massive death of their beloved animals? would it take a
massive death of their favorite celebrities to make this real for them? Would it be necessary if they saw a pile of dead bodies on their street before this becomes real to them?
I lost my grandmother last year due to heart stroke related, not COVID, not a single family member could sit by her side and she died alone in the hospital surrounded by other people that wasn’t family. I just had my mom come out of the hospital for heat exhaustion and we listened to a nurse tell us that they were so overwhelmed they had to step over dead bodies to help other people coming in. I started wearing my mask very early on last year March and was ridiculed that that was unnecessary! I witness the supply and demand where no one can get their hands on mask. My husband and I are vaccinated and we continue to wear a mask in public. Constantly wiping shopping carts, packages, door knobs etc. this is how we live now. Mindful. I only have one body! I don’t have another body locked away in storage or off planet some where. people keep messing with their own lives, fine so be it, but it’s also messing with the lives they come into contact with. it’s selfish.
It’s extremely selfish. I see family members on fb getting together for parties, no masks, no social distancing, and many unvaxxed. It’s like they think they are invisible. I just don’t understand. I have lost so much respect for so many people I know.
Apologies for mangling an old joke.
After reports of flooding a pickup truck drove up to an old man’s house and offered to get him out before the water comes. ‘No thank you, God will save me’ was the reply. The next day the water was up to his front porch and they came in a boat offering rescue. ‘No thank you, God will save me’ was the reply. The water rose to the rooftop and the old man was sitting on the roof. They came to his rescue in a helicopter this time. ‘No thank you, God will save me’ was the reply. The water rose again and the old man drown. When he saw God he asked, ‘why didn’t you save me?. God said ‘I sent a truck, a boat and a helicopter, why did you refuse me?’
GOD has sent you a vaccine. Don’t turn him down.
Oh no, evil scientists sent the vaccine to microchip everyone, don’t ya know?
I must be a super cynical person but I’m always a little shocked whenever one of these POS anti-vax conservative commentators or GOP pols dies of covid. I guess I just assumed it was an act and they’re liars and grifters who make their money from the dumbasses who listen to them but of course aren’t like that privately and got the vaccine. I don’t know if it’s better or worse that they’re sincerely this stupid.
As it should be.
There is no rationalizing with these people. My brother inlaw and family have been ant-everything science has to offer to help save lives this entire time to the point the Bishop of their church diocese wrote a public letter that they would call police and have you escorted off premises for refusing to wear a mask in church. Then, they all caught Covid from his sister who works in a long term care home. They all survived it and now it’s only made their rhetoric worse because they think they’re invincible. That was pre Delta though. The only thing that will work is vaccine mandates and passports. None of which are new.
Thank you, Darwin.
There was another anti-vax guy from Central Texas, who just died at age 30 from Covid. His wife is having their 4th child. She put up a Go Fund Me. Such a ridiculous trope: oppose vaccine/mask, then die. A kindergarten teacher in Marin County, unmasked in class (against school rules), infected HALF her class with the Delta variant, who spread it to 12 more people. I strongly believe she should be fired, but I bet she won’t be. 5 year olds are not approved for the vaccine yet. Christ. ELO, I think we’re talking about the same Texas guy. Phallic fallacies get so much sympathy, even getting them better treatment than people who were vaxed needing a hospital bed for other life-threatening ailments. Can’t they transfer the Covid patients to hospices to free up beds? That’s right : I said it. Chuck them out of beds. Let Darwin’s law do what it was meant to do:. Weed out the ones who woefully ill-adapted to survive.
Sorry, who are woefully ill-adapted to survive. It’s like hospital bed gerrymandering the way it is now.
If these people were not the spreaders I would say live and let live. These people are the reason our kids are in ICU’s, they are all Typhoid Mary’s and they know they are. I rarely hate anyone but I make an exception for antimask and anti covid vaccine.
Yes!
The teacher in CA didn’t get vaccinated and “only” took her mask off during story time…but now 27 people have COVID, including 1/2 of her class of little children who are too young for the vaccine. The people who are endangering children are THE WORST PEOPLE. All of their tombstones should read, “Here lies a selfish sh*t who cared about nothing but themselves.”
There are people getting covid, with the vaccine, although you are not likely to die. And the only reason is; because it had to become Delta from these people that would not get the vaccine in the first place, so he has done the whole nine yards. They will all eventually get vaccines because they are going to make it so hard to do anything without it.
Tiffany, that would be a great epitaph for the Former Guy, too. It would be great to see it there real soon (hangs head and fake-blushes).
Duh duh duh…another bites the dust. I’m not sorry he died, but I do feel sorry for the people he might have infected as well as all the overworked people working to keep us safe and healthy.
Oh, now they want privacy.
Suzybontime, Also, 1% or less of vaccinated people have gotten the Covid variant. And in hospitals, 97 to 99% (I’ve heard both) of those who die are unvaccinated.
I hope every angry person on here channels those feelings into voting out of office all of these local level politicians who are banning masks and spreading disinformation.
