Unvaccinated Trump supporter who spread coronavirus conspiracy theories dies of COVID-19
On Tuesday, the Cape Cod Times reported that Linda Zuern, a former member of the Bourne, Massachusetts Board of Selectmen and a Trump-supporting figure in the local Republican Party, had died of COVID-19.
Zuern died at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston of severe complications caused by COVID-19, according to the report. She was 70 years old and had not been vaccinated.
"She was a strong woman who believed in speaking the truth and defending our freedoms in America," Republican State Committeewoman Deborah Dugan told the Cape Cod Times. Dugan was at Zuern's bedside when she died. "I would describe her to people as a little woman but a mighty warrior."
For months, Zuern, a member of the pro-Trump group the United Cape Patriots, had promoted conspiracy theories about the pandemic on Facebook. She has shared articles accusing the World Health Organization of a coverup of the "Wuhan Virus" and claiming COVID-19 is cover for "globalists" to usher in "U.N. Agenda 2030" a sustainable development initiative right-wing conspiracy theorists assert is a plot to create a one world government.

(18,769 posts)and contracted COVID and then died. The decedent was 70 years old. The mother's age is not given, but is likely 90-something (realistically could be anywhere from 85-110, but 90s is most probable). The article also says nothing about the mother's vaccination status, or death status, but does say she was also infected.
This isn't just a story of stupid self-destruction. This isn't just a story of spewing dangerous bullshit into the world. It's also a story of a reckless endangerment/elder abuse (colloquially, I mean), or so it seems based on just this article...
