Walsh, a Republican from Ashland, said Thursday she is home recovering from the virus. She posted on Twitter asking people to pray for her husband, who she said is "very sick."

Walsh said she did not get the vaccine because it has not been fully approved the the federal Food and Drug Administration and she was concerned about risk factors, KRCG-TV reported.

She also said she had friends who had negative reactions to the vaccine and she was not concerned about being vaccinated because she had been healthy since the pandemic began.

Thank you for taking the time to post this info and the links. I've been seeing lots of these reports and was thinking it would be good to have them all in one place, should I need to post some info to some 'covidiot' friends of mine. You did all the hard work, thank you! I've copied the list and will then be adding to it as more stories come through.

We have all the people going home from Sturgis, Lalapoluza, etc. to be concerned about, and all the other 'super spreader events' that have been happening. We are so divided about this. We are so stupid (as a country).

And then there is Lambda (still under study), but that is really scary, and news I don't think the country is ready for. If you haven't heard about it, here is a link:

It's in a special category because they're not just killing themselves. They are causing death in others, especially the influencers.
