DENIAL!
I'm in Orange County, CA, and I'm driving home listening to the Angels Baseball flagship station, and they're talking about the Producer for the afternoon Roger Lodge (of Blind Date fame) show, who apparently died last night at the age of 45.
Went to the various Facebook pages that were talking about him, and mourning his loss. Post after post about how great and loved he was. He had a family with young kids.
Had to dig through the posts until I found one that linked to a tweet from a few days ago, talking about how he was hospitalized with Covid since the first week of August.
NOT ONCE, did anyone outright post something with the word Covid. NOT ONCE did the radio show mention the word Covid. It was always that he died at the young age of 45.
His name was James Allen. Of course, there's a Go Fund Me page set up. I wish I felt sad, but I really don't. Without knowing for certain, I'm guessing he was not vaccinated. And I'm guessing that is why Nobody is mentioning cause of death, acting like it was some unavoidable tragedy, when it probably wasn't.
You would think that the very least they could do would be to make some statement urging people to get vaccinated. BUT FUCKING NO!!
I'd feel sad if I felt there was some sort of contrition, and that they used the opportunity to perhaps save another person's life.
He didn't have to die. The Fucking Stupidity Makes Me Sick.
