Anti-Masker dies of COVID - age 50

[mzmolly]

On October 24th a victim of Trump and Fox News, posted this on Facebook:



On October 30th he posted:

"I have covid, so I'll be off Facebook. Prayers would be greatly appreciated."

On November 3rd he shared:

"Back in the emergency room pneumonia in both lungs."

On November 17th, he died.

In the interest of protecting privacy I will not share his name. He was a colleague of a friend. Very sad, in spite of him being misled and disregarding common sense.

1. What's actually sad is how many people he exposed

He made a choice and met his fate. Many of those he exposed didn't make that choice. They may suffer because of HIS choice.

[mzmolly]

2. That's a good point.

[Cha]

9. Exactly, Rorey.. it's not just about this

brainwashed person.. it's also about those who could be exposed because of his stupidity.

3. "Its a hoax - see! - he didn't die of Covid - he died from Pneumonia!"

typical dumb-ass trumper/denier comments re: covid "phony numbers".

4. Sad that he paid the ultimate price but the brainwashing by Trump is beyond my comprehension

There are far too many people willing to follow Fat Nixon down the path to Jonestown 2020. The fact that there are others who probably were infected by this person in spite of the evidence that masking is necessary is the horrifying reality we are faced with. Trump bought Scott Atlas' nonsense about herd immunity which is criminal.

5. I feel sad reading this

In spite of the obvious idiocy, his death is just as much Rumps/Fux "news" etc. fault.

6. I can't muster an appropriate amount of compassion for this.

I'd rather nobody die, but it is my fervent hope that if people must die, it will be people like this. Unrepentant rat-lickers that will screw the rest of us out of pure ignorance and laugh while doing so. The best I can do is a type of disgusted pity.

[mzmolly]

7. I understand.

It's difficult to feel much sympathy when he may have exposed others due to his ignorance.

[GopherGal]

21. To use his phraseology:

We'll pretend to regret his passing.

[Cha]

8. Wow.. another COVID Victim of trump's

Brainwashing.

That is sad so many brainwashed have to die bc of the Hell Monster.

74 million voters don't care if it happens to them, either.

[mzmolly]

12. Right.

It still amazes me that 74 million American voters, wanted more of the same.

[Cha]

14. Thank Goodness there are MORE

of us.. Or we'd be living under a Fascist Regime right fucking NOW.

2016-2021 was their warm up that Exploded bc Democracy is Stronger!

[mzmolly]

19. Thank goodness!

[Cha]

20. Yes.. & your OP is a cautionary tale.

[greenjar_01]

10. They are victims, to be sure

But basic fourth grade science education would also have saved him.

They are victims, but they desired something that resulted in their own demise. They desired it.

[mzmolly]

11. Yes. They died in a battle

against truth.

[lpbk2713]

13. Drank the Kool-Aid right up to the end.

It came with a high price tag.

[Bucky]

15. Of course we don't know how many family members he "shared the cost" with

Or coworkers or friends or people he ran into at the store...

[LanternWaste]

16. Poor fella payed the ultimate price for conspiracy theories.

I just don't get it. In middle school, I was convinced a nuclear war would mutate everyone into elves and orcs, but eventually I grew up and realized objective evidence wins out over empty allegations every time. Maybe Trump dog-whistled to his base that a regression to sixth-grade level of reasoning would be Red, White and Patriotic.

[peggysue2]

17. Sadly, there will be more of these senseless deaths

Because . . . a bizarre definition of freedom and liberty and the application of plain ole stubborn ignorance. Don't wish anyone ill but a story like this one is a prime example of what can happen when you turn your back on medical advice and common sense. Not to mention the people you'll take down with you.

Learning the hard way shouldn't be this hard. But here we are!

[Codeine]

18. . . .

[Polybius]

22. Very sad

I wouldn't wish a Covid death on anyone, I even felt bad for Herman Cain when he passed away.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. More hospital workers needlessly exposed to risk, fatigue and PTSD.

Is it something in the water that's eating brain cells? Some combination of perfumes, fast food and colognes?

[liberaltrucker]

24. Shit happens

My sympathies go to those he may have infected.

[Hekate]

25. That's just genuinely sad

[GulfCoast66]

26. At this point I really don't give a fuck.

I truly don’t want anyone to die. But if I could make the rules only deniers would. Unfortunately they will infect others who are trying hard not to get this virus.

I’m a science major. And I actually understand the resistance to climate change as it seems so far off and not acute, as crazy as that sounds. People are people.

But to deny a disease that is killing thousands of our fellow citizens is like drinking Flavor-aid. Which is actually what they drank at Jonestown.

27. What I hate most is the meanness and arrogance with which these poeple mock others

Then, when they fall victim to their own arrogance, they have the nerve to post requests for prayers from the same people they just told to go to hell.

What these people don't understand is that those who pray, pray that they wear their masks to begin with. When they refuse, and mock those who prayed for them, they lose the right to be taken seriously later on.

[mzmolly]

28. Well

said.
