I have posted about this twice during the last month as his disease progressed. It is a local township story.
52 years old, non-vaccinated: Libertarian freedom.
So he gets sick, goes to hospital and gets diagnosed with Covid. He gets frustrated with hospital regimentation and leaves hospital. Hours later, he is in a fuckin' bar, downing drinks that his friends bought him to celebrate that he beat Rona without the shots.
I haven't heard that any of them have come down with the virus.
3 days later, he's back in hospital because he can't breathe--- ventilator, followed by stroke, followed by; he died.
Now his wife posts a Go Fund Me request or $25k. AND she is immediately eligible for FEMA burial expenses.
No one on the GFM site has the heart to ask her if she encouraged him to get the vaccine or if she is now vaccinated.
What da fuck?

Burial expenses are paid by FEMA.

While now a freethinker I certainly dont include all Christians in that statement. My friend of 42 years, also an ex-evangelical who I met in my childhood church is active in his very liberal Christian church.
But we were both questioning kids. I actually got kicked out of Sunday School in my Junior year of high school. Just asked uncomfortable questions. Looking back at my dads reaction, or lack there-of, I think he was actively jealous! But back then being a good church member was necessary for a career in the Deep South.
