Covid's next victim

My parents are living in assisted living. They both are vaccinated thank goodness. One of the caregivers came down with covid. They had to isolate my parents. Very few workers will get vaccinated. The care giver refused to do any contract tracing. She didn't want to snitch on anyone. She hasn't been back to work in over 4 months and is in a wheel chair. Covid destroyed her heart. She is dying and still refuses to get vaccinated. She knows the end is near and she said that it is God's wish. How about that all loving god? My neighbors won't get vaccinated because they said all the patients in the hospital are vaccinated. Not true. Almost every case is an unvaccinated person. We had 29 new cases in our 35% vaccinated county today. They also said that people are getting lesions on their brains from the vaccination. They are all Faux News and talk radio people. How did such lies take a hold of these people? This is the worst war I have ever seen and I am a veteran.

Firstly, I am very sorry to read about your situation.

I ran into a man a few weeks ago and he did not like wearing a mask and he said the kids can't get it.

WRONG.

He has four daughters. I found myself screaming at him, you need to get vaccinated! Do it would you?

I don't know if this MORON heard me or not but my gawd, how maddening!

I'm with you, believe me!

The stupid is beyond stupid at this point!

If they don't give a fuck about their own lives then I don't either, but they have no right to put frail elderly people at that kind of risk.

As someone else posted, they need to stop coddling these people. Get vaxxed or GTFO.

If you refuse the vaccine and die, you have denied God's gift to the human race which won't go well for you when you stand before him.

It's essentially the story of the drowning man.
A man on his roof in a flood refuses help from a rowboat, a motorboat and a helicopter because he has faith that God will save him.
Then he drowns and asks God why he was allowed to drown. God said he sent a rowboat, a motorboat and a helicopter but the man refused them.
