This story should be a cautionary tale and happened in one of the most liberal and upscale counties in the SF Bay Area. This is from May, so vaccinations were perhaps not readily available.

Quote:
The Marin County, Calif., elementary school had been conscientious about following covid-19 protocols. Masks were required indoors, desks were spaced six feet apart, and the students kept socially distant. But the delta variant found an opening anyway.

On May 19, one teacher, who was not vaccinated against the coronavirus, began feeling fatigued and had some nasal congestion. She dismissed it as allergies and powered through. While she was usually masked, she made an exception for story time so she could read to the class.

By the time she learned she was positive for the coronavirus two days later, half her class of 24 had been infected — nearly all of them in the two rows closest to her desk — and the outbreak had spread to other classes, siblings and parents, including some who were fully vaccinated.
I am still chafing at the fact that I got yelled at for wearing a mask inside my car with another person in the front, who was also wearing a mask. He has three young children who are not vaccinated, so this was more as a consideration to them. We are both vaccinated of course.

I have moved on from worrying about the maskless uncaring selfish seeing out in the wild.
Wear mine and move on.

If they don't get it by now, never will. Nothing I will or do can change their brainwashed cult indoctrination.....

It's going to come to a point where those "death panels" the reich-wingers warned us about will come about. I really believe it's going to come to that. With the misinformation being mainlined into the minds of the ignorant some just will not heed the warnings. Look for a significant culling.

3rd conservative radio host who condemned vaccines dies of Covid

Quote:
The death of Marc Bernier, 65, who was a mainstay on talk radio in Daytona, was announced Saturday night be WNDB, the radio station he was affiliated with for three decades.
Wondering if these people died for a false premise that Covid-19 is a hoax or plain dumb? Hoping that the anti-vaxxing squawkers will be somewhat muted after these three successive deaths.

Quote:
When Florida’s Democratic Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried in July urged people to get vaccines on Twitter by saying the “greatest generation had to defeat the Nazis to preserve our way of life, you’re only being asked to get a shot. So be a patriot,” Bernier replied on the platform: “Should say, ‘Now the US Government is acting like Nazi's. Get the shot!’”

People's brains are typically wired to reject beliefs that could cause them to be rejected by their group. Once the degenerate and accursed politicians and propagandists made it a conservative identity marker, their people were set up to die.

I was checking Facebook to see what if any comments were about the formerly alive Marc Bernier and I came across this. A sort of roll call, a short but growing list of liars, deniers and misinformation spreaders who are no longer lying, denying and spreading misinformation.

Quote:
By Cree Hardegree
“Andre Jacque is a Wisconsin Republican lawmaker who is a vehement anti-masker and anti-vaxxer. On Wednesday August 18 he attended a hearing, unvaccinated and maskless.
On Wednesday August 25 he was fitted for a mask while lying in a critical care bed with a breathing apparatus rammed down his throat.
He’s not dead — yet.
Andre is 40. He has a wife and six children.
***
John Pierce is a lawyer who represents 18 of the January 6 Anti-American Insurrectionists. He represents more insurrectionists than any other single lawyer, specifically cultivating the cases out of a cultish devotion to Trump and a harbored false belief that Trump “won.”
He also has represented Rudy Giuliani in Rudy’s flagrant Ukraine lobbying scandal; Tulsi Gabbard in her meritless suit against Hillary for “defamation;” and he briefly represented Kyle Rittenhouse.
On August 17, Lawyer Pierce tweeted: “The entire 82nd Airborne couldn’t make me get an experimental government vaccine stuck in my arm.”
A week later on August 25 he was scheduled to be in court for a hearing on one of his insurrectionist clients.
But Lawyer Pierce was not in court.
His partner informed the court:
“Your Honor, Mr. Pierce is in the hospital, we believe with Covid-19, on a ventilator, unresponsive.”
John Mark Pierce is 49.
***
Missouri Republican state representative Sara Walsh said she and her husband Steve did not get vaccinated because the vaccine only had provisional FDA approval and she and her husband had been “healthy throughout the pandemic.”
This morning, Sara, a candidate for Missouri’s 4th congressional district, posted:
“Steve’s visitation and service is tomorrow and today’s tribute to my beloved Steve Walsh is a recollection of memories of Broadway shows, songs, and faith. Steve loved the Beatles and Motown. Steve was and always will be my Prince Charming.”
It was a lengthy post, ending in a plea for people to accept Jesus as their Savior, even though Jesus refused to save Steve from Covid.
She did not beg people to get vaccinated, even though vaccinations do keep people from dying with Covid.
Steve Walsh was 63. He died of Covid on August 19 leaving behind his 42-year-old wife.
***
Lisa Steadman and her husband Ron were diagnosed with Covid in early August. Lisa finally had to go to the hospital but the big man of the house stayed home to brave and battle Covid alone.
Lisa called Ron every day. On Sunday August 8 he told her his phone was not holding a charge. On Monday August 9 she couldn’t get him on the phone and finally sent the police to their home for a wellness check.
The police called back and told her they had found him out walking the dogs and “he only has a cold.”
The unvaccinated couple did not talk on the phone on Monday after the police wellness check or on Tuesday or on Wednesday morning August 11 before Lisa was released from the Winter Haven Florida hospital after an eight-day stay.
At home, Lisa opened the door.
Ron?
RON? Where are you Ron?
She heard the dogs barking, all in the bedroom.
Slowly she opened the bedroom door.
And there was Ron.
Decomposing.
Lisa says they “had agreed they would wait longer to get the vaccines because I rarely get sick and Ron always wore his mask and stayed away from large crowds and both of us thought the vaccine came out so fast. How could they have done so much testing on it? I was just cautious about it.”
Ron Steadman was 55. He leaves behind his 58-year-old wife and three dogs.
***
Following a week-long church camp, Lydia Rodriguez and her unvaccinated husband Lawrence and several other family members tested positive for Covid.
Lydia felt she could fight it off because she was strong and healthy and “didn’t believe in vaccines.”
Lawrence died first.
Suddenly Lydia thought the vaccine might be a good idea.
But vaccines will do no good in the ICU.
Her only choice was to be intubated.
She never woke up.
She died August 16.
She was 42; he was 49. Their collective foolishness orphaned four children.
***
Phil Valentine was a conservative radio talk-show host on WWTN in Nashville Tennessee.
He was an ardent anti-vaxxer.
Until he got Covid.
Between his diagnosis and hospitalization, he changed his tune and encouraged listeners to get vaccinated.
But it was too late for Phil.
In his ICU bed he told his brother his biggest regret was not being a vocal vaccine advocate.
Phil Valentine was 61 years old. He died of Covid a week ago on August 21.
***
Dick Farrell was a conservative radio talk-show host on WPTV in West Palm Beach Florida.
He was an ardent anti-vaxxer.
Until he got Covid.
From his hospital bed he texted about the vaccine to a friend of 20 years:
“Get it! This is no joke. I wish I had gotten it!”
But it was too late for Dick.
Dick Farrell was 65 years old. He died on August 4 of “severe damage” caused by Covid.
***
These are the Chronicles of the Damned;
Foolish and senseless people;
Having eyes but cannot see; ears but cannot hear.
The final seal is broken; the pale horse of death rides.
No more light, because their oil ran out.
No way of escape because the gates are shut.”
- Cree Hardegree

Why worry, it's no worse than the flu, right?

https://candace-owens-denied-covid-test-site-service
Serial Covid liar and denier Candace Owens told where to go (for a Covid test).
Quote:
A privately owned COVID testing company refused to provide services to Candace Owens because of misinformation she has spread,” tweeted Bishop Talbert Swan. Quoting Lee’s contention about serving her being unfair to her team and their sacrifices, “That,” he maintained, “is how you take out trash, ladies and gentlemen.
Trash indeed.

Believe this Candace Owens is proving your observation. She will be on Faux tonight competing with the other bimbos.
