Self-Proclaimed 'Plague Spreader' Dies of COVID After Boasting About Maskless Grocery Store Stunt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An Italian anti-vaxxer and COVID-denier who sparked outrage after declaring himself a “plague spreader” and boasting about how he walked around sick and maskless in a supermarket is now dead of COVID-19, according to local media reports.

Maurizio Buratti, also known as Mauro from Mantua, died in a Verona hospital Monday, just a few weeks after he was hospitalized. He was 61.

Buratti’s condition took a turn for the worse, perhaps unsurprisingly, after he called in to the Zanzara radio program on Radio 24, where he was a frequent and well-known commenter, and openly told listeners he was seriously ill, with a high fever, but had made a point to stroll through a crowded grocery store maskless.

He railed against pandemic-related restrictions and claimed he was “defending the constitution,” saying he would not get tested for the coronavirus because of a supposed conspiracy in which he said the test swabs themselves cause the virus.

Looks like this country doesn't have a monopoly on COVIDIOTs.

1. Poetic justice. Karma batting clean up.

[2naSalit]

11. Ha!

I was thinking that we're getting closer to seeing instant karma catching up with them.

[SheltieLover]

44. Lol

[SergeStorms]

27. But how many did he infect in the process?

Karma may have hit that one out of the park, but this POS probably took a few people with him that didn't deserve it.

Too bad there isn't an open season on disease spreading miscreants.

[SheltieLover]

45. I wish the virus was selective for arrogant morons, too

And agree that wach anti-vax maskhole endangers everyone!

[SergeStorms]

49. A kick in the butt, isn't it?

We try to be so damned careful, we take every precaution, yet brush past this walking epidemic and you could definitely contract COVID. Being protected we probably won't get very ill, but there are those with co-morbidities who could actually die, even though vaccinated.

So yeah, I wish there were a way to isolate these jerks so they can't do harm to others.

Stay safe, SheltieLover!

[SheltieLover]

50. For sure, Serge!

I'm triple vaxed & have been in 3M N95s every second when around others & afraid to go to grocery.

No worries, I'm all stocked up on necessities. No need to go out for quite awhile, but damn!

[SergeStorms]

53. Yeah, same here.

I spent a ton of money buying N95 masks for the entire family, but I had the time (retired) to scour the interwebs to find them, and the money. That was almost two years ago!

Time sure flies when you're having fun, right? 🤪

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

41. Yes, Karma hit a tape measure grand slam here.

Hopefully, this ignorant creep didn't infect anyone else before dying of his own stupidity.

[SheltieLover]

47. Agreed!

[DeeNice]

2. FAFO nt

[TreasonousBastard]

3. I am so tired of the anti-vax, anti-knowledge assholes running around that I wouldn't be...

averse to a small party around his deathbed laughing at him as he takes his last breaths.

And then broadcasting it around the planet.

[RussBLib]

4. good riddance

declaring himself a "plague spreader?"

good fucking riddance asshole

5. Is there a list of them anywhere? Yes, here: www.sorryantivaxxer.com

28. There's also the Herman Cain Award on reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/

I think sorryantivaxxer is probably more of a complete list, but I find both to be useful.

[Ziggysmom]

39. Never in my life did I ever imagine I would feel schadenfreude.

The thought of feeling a sense of pleasure from another person's misfortune never popped into my mind before. Since covidiots by the thousands are hell-bent on following Herman Cain, I no longer have empathy for their suffering.

[UTUSN]

43. Don't feel guilty. More like validation than pleasure.

[Initech]

6. At least COVID is doing a good job of taking out the trash.

[SCantiGOP]

7. He did up the game considerably

I have heard that 1- there is no virus; 2- that the vaccine causes the virus, and 3- that the drugs that are given to you in the hospital cause the virus.
This (dead) clown claimed that the test swabs cause the virus.

Do these people give Fauci and the liberals credit for such a comprehensive and worldwide conspiracy? Do they ever wonder how they can do that, yet can't get a couple of simple bills through the Congess?

[ShazzieB]

29. So basically whatever doesn't implicate their own stupidity is what causes the virus!

Got it!

[Pinback]

33. Remember Louie Gohmert's contribution.

He claimed wearing a mask caused him to get infected with COVID, because it forced him to inhale the COVID-19 microbes he was exhaling out of his own mouth!

[certainot]

46. it's not surprising that asshole was a frequent caller to an italian radio show.... the russians are

probably using rw radio all over the world - india, brazil, mexico etc to spread the anti vax, and piggybacking it and spicing it up with social media, internet, etc

limbaugh was a genius at coming up with 5 or 10 reasons for his listeners to deny or rationalize denial of the obvious and it usually involved injecting and associating uncertainty, which authoritarians are afraid of, and being very certain, which authoritarians are sexually addicted to

sen (idiot) ron johnson just explained that vaccines are no good because they don't ALWAYS work.....
like global warming is a hoax because scientists are uncertain/not certain of what it will do next month, they can't all agree, etc...

[ZonkerHarris]

8. Hahahahaha

One more dead scum bag

[Demovictory9]

9. that he tried to infect others... this one deserved his fate

[Demobrat]

10. Wow. The world is better off without that one.

I do feel a little bit sorry for some of them. The ones with little to no education who only know what they’re told in church.

Not this guy though.

[childfreebychoice]

12. My issue, worldwide, they go to hosp. nt

[OMGWTF]

15. Me too! If unvaxed at this point, go home to die.

[CaptainTruth]

13. Let's go Darwin...

[TheBlackAdder]

16. The rebuttal to Let's Go Brandon

[liberalla]

20. That is great! I mean really great!

[notinkansas]

32. Oh yeah - I'm lovin' that!

[Ziggysmom]

36. I'm saving this one to share!

[uponit7771]

23. THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

[Demobrat]

51. I prefer Come on Covid

It’s a little snappier.

[OMGWTF]

14. Once again, the trash is taking itself out.

[iluvtennis]

17. Good riddance. n/t

[GoneOffShore]

18. If they be like to die, let them, and decrease the surplus population.

[aeromanKC]

19. Dang, not a MAGAt.

[cstanleytech]

21. At this point I wonder if doctors worldwide should start putting people like this

on a lower priority list for extreme treatment like ventilators if the availability falls below a certain number.
Kind of like how organ transplant lists are sorted.

[BHDem53]

22. Arrivederci, perdente. 👎

[Takket]

24. great news! Hope his damn store stunt didn't hurt anyone that deserved to live.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. I've Visited Verona

It's now an even nicer city, since it's not polluted by this oxygen waster.

[Chautauquas]

26. Too bad he didn't get sick and die sooner

before he had a chance to spread Covid to others.

[Paladin]

30. Good. (nt)

[Demovictory9]

31. one of his final comments as he died: Planned to seek asylum to avoid vax

According to Brescia Today, he went to the hospital only at the insistence of fans and Giuseppe Cruciani, the host of Zanzara, and he refused to seek treatment at a hospital in his native Mantua “because the Communists are there.”

Enrico Polati, director of the ICU at Hospital de Borgo Trento, where Buratti was treated, told ANSA he had arrived in “desperate conditions.”

“We did everything and a little more, but the disease was inexorable,” he said.

Buratti reportedly stuck to his anti-vaxxer views even as his health rapidly deteriorated and he was intubated, with one of his final comments to fans being that he planned to seek asylum abroad to avoid getting vaccinated.

“He is in hospital in Verona, I got to hear him in recent days and you could tell from the voice that he was terribly ill,” Cruciani was quoted as telling listeners recently.

Buratti also appeared to finally acknowledge the existence of COVID-19 in a recorded update aired on Zanzara for listeners, according to Brescia Today. In it, he said: “I was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia, it seems to be COVID.”

40. We don't have a monopoly on Covidiots

Where is American Exceptionalism when you really need it?

[11 Bravo]

42. I'm not a fan of necrophilia, but fuck him anyway.

[majdrfrtim]

48. He was not just a COVIDIOT,

given his treachery, he was a PERFIDIOT, too.

Sigh.

[FakeNoose]

52. The county coroners need to invent a new cause of death - "suicide by Covid"

That's exactly what this guy did.

[dem4decades]

54. Gee, that's too bad. How do you say haha in Italian?

[LiberalFighter]
