... is a dead anti-vaxxer.
That's because their death might lead others to finally wake up and do the right thing.
I am not wishing death on anyone - but I do not mourn the demise of those who have chosen to not only put themselves at risk, but to risk the lives of others.
As far as I'm concerned, refusing to take every step necessary (vaccination, masking, social distancing, et cetera) to end this pandemic is a form of suicide - i.e suicide by stupidity - and I have no sympathy for those who have chosen this route, particularly in light of the fact that they are causing the deaths of others they have potentially infected on their way to the graveyard.
While I mourn the deaths of innocent children who are dying at the hands of their parents' willful ignorance, I do not grieve with those parents, and have no sympathy for their loss. Parents who choose to kill their own babies have no right to the sympathy of others.
"But I lost my child" is a piss-poor excuse to ask for sympathy when the death of that child was directly caused by your own stubborn disregard for their welfare.
As is evident from this post, I am out of fucks to give for those who have chosen to die, or for the parents who have chosen to let their children die.
At this point, anyone who chooses to believe that COVID is a hoax being promoted by anti-Trump, anti-Republican forces can take their bullshit to their graves.
They will not be missed.

Not the worst of child sbusers, they did come out to check on the kid every so often. And the kid was in a proper seat and suffered no serious harm.
But, if the law says these people must be punished, why let parents go who have claimed a "right" to deny lifesaving medicine or procedures to their children.
Or anyone else, for that matter.

(2,825 posts)But, one thing I have to ask everyone. With all these southerners always bellyaching about their precious "Southern Heritage," how the hell did they come to worship and adore a spoiled-rotten, worthless rich kid from New York City?
My guess is they really don't give a shit about southern heritage or anything else like that. It's just shared values of racism and bigotry. These doofuses are being played and fleeced by a New York City con artist. And they're willing to die and take their families with them to prove how wrong we are.
Yeah, I'm so devastated that I'm being owned. They can own me all they want for I no longer have anymore fucks to give, either.

(27,813 posts)... how many COVIDIOTS will go to their graves proud of the fact that they 'owned the libs' by dying unnecessarily in order to make a totally pointless point.

(27,813 posts)... has nothing to do with 'white privilege', or fighting the Civil War.
It's about dumbass Trump-humpers willing to sacrifice themselves - and their children - on the altar of subservience to a self-serving grifter.

(3,229 posts)Thankfully, many more of them will succumb than us, but they will, tragically, take too many innocents with them. And in addition, those who do not die, may suffer illnesses that will afflict them for the rest of their lives. When I think of where we might be if we had authentic Democratic leadership, rather than corrupt Republican rule by kakistocracy, it literally sickens me.
