"God" did not "say no" to this woman. SHE made the decision not to have her family vaccinated becaus

So so ssssssssssssooooooo many stories like this one lately.





“God” did not “say no” to this woman. SHE made the decision not to have her family vaccinated because she thought disinformation on Facebook was trustworthy despite over 600K deaths in the U.S. and 4+ million worldwide. #DeleteFacebook & take responsibility for your awful choices

I've been practicing my CB radio slang and 10 codes with my microchip.

10-3 * Stop transmitting (aka shut up)
10-4 * Affirmative/Message received

10-9 * Repeat message
10-10 * Transmission completed (I’m done talking)
10-13 * Weather/road conditions

There's tons more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CB_slang

I've learned to transmit, I have to tug my earlobe like Carol Burnett.

The video is terrible... Hundreds of millions of channels and not a thing worth watching. Even the porn is boring, it lacks that '70s heavy bass soundtrack. But, what do you expect for a beta release.

I'll be 10-10 on the side, if anybody needs me.

That might get people's attention if she made that claim. She thought it was God but obviously the devil influenced her not to get the vaccine. Or maybe it was God, who wants her husband to suffer and die for some reason.

She now admits that the “studies” she read were bogus and the “experts,”frauds. Amazing how many people come to that realization only after they or a loved one become deathly ill.
It's also mind boggling that many don't come to that realization after that happens.

Or is she saying that God wanted her family to die?


But, here's the flaw in her statement.

1) She says God said 'no.'
2) She later realized that the "studies" she read were bogus and the "experts" frauds.


How would #2 have changed anything?

If God said No, God said No. You either follow God's commands or you don't.

Why is she allowed to sit by his bed? You are not allowed in ICU with a COVID patient. She has no protective gear on. Nothing.

Something is off here. No one is allowed in ICU with a COVID patient.

A good of an explanation of the crazies.

Seriously though. You do not go in the ICU with a COVID patient. That is a fact.

ICU nurses wore their gear 24/7 during COVID. No visitors. I know that for a fact, my niece worked one.

Her insurance will cover until it won't. She and her husband will be buried in huge medical bills. I will ignore any lingering or permanent medical needs as a result of COVID for now. They will be bankrupted, even if he dies. They won't pay and the public will eventually pick up the tab elsewhere.

Or she and the fam could have taken that fucking shot and spared themselves all this drama.

God did send her a vaccine after all.

maybe god said no because he wanted her husband to die so she could remarry to someone more 'godly.'

She's probably working herself into a frenzy right about now waiting for her special commands. Maybe she should've gotten the vaccine... I hear the reception is much better afterward!

Mon Aug 9, 2021, 12:40 PM

To these people "god" is a crutch to avoid responsibility for their own decisions and actions. Her husband is dying because she's a selfish person and she let her political loyalties become more important than the safety of her family. So she can whine about Jesus Christ all she wants, but she knows in her heart that her own idiocy and selfishness is killing her husband before her eyes.

I'm all out of thoughts and prayers for people like her, she had her chance to learn from other's suffering, but ignored it all just like millions of other Trumpsters will ignore hers and her husband's. Let them suffer, let them die, send them home because they're taking up valuable real estate at the hospitals for people who aren't worthless cult members like her husband.

I want health insurance companies to stop covering these unvaccinated Covid patients who are spending $millions and driving up costs for the rest of us. They made their choice, send this moron home so he and his wife can pray on it. Disgusting and pathetic.
