It's what this current thread is in response to, I'm pretty sure.

The GOP is waging biological warfare against the United States.

The dying rubes are the cannon fodder.

That's the bottom line.

Hermain Cain Awards having a positive impact. Influencing hesitant to go ahead and get the shot.

I've been lurking a lot on this Reddit board. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/

Lately I've begun seeing posts by vaccine hesitant people who have who have decided to get the shots after reading the accounts there. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/ppnri6/declining_my_award/

For all the people scolding about how counterproductive "death shaming" is, it appears to be having a genuine positive influence on some people. It seems to be acting like a vaccine equivalent of "Scared Straight".

And even now, they are not all beyond reach.

Our Catholic hospital here tried to kill my mother's SO,

who had Alzheimers, when he was there with pneumonia. He was costing the Catholic run care program more than they were getting for him from the government.

The program then put heavy pressure on her to sign a DNR when she wasn't ready to, and also to just let him die instead of going to the hospital the next time he got pneumonia.

I don't count on Catholic run hospitals or other health programs to be more concerned about "life" than they are about money.

I'm going to wait and see how this situation develops.
