    What a fucking morbid website. I mean, I get it. These people were against the vaccine, and died of COVID. The website says "The goal of this list is educational." Yeah sure. That may be a goal. Other goals include ridiculing and shaming dead people, and rubbing salt in the wounds of their friends and family. Who's really going to be visiting that website? Anti-vaxxers who are going to be educated by it and decide to get the vaccine because of it? Or people that revel in the deaths of these anti-vaxxers? 
    I find it hard to care about anti-vaxers that die that had a platform and used it to get other people to not get vaccinated (and wear masks).  Cause their negative impact is far beyond just their death.

    I don't feel good about it, but more of a..."well that makes sense" pragmatism.  Not shocking, terrible that they have also led others to their deaths, and then move on and forget about them.

    You may not feel good about it....but here's little sample of a comment section below one of the dead anti-vaxxers.....


    Celebrating death is cruel.  At the same time, news stories about prominent anti-vaxxers and denialists are important.  Publicizing bad choices that lead to bad outcomes can lead some people to better decisions.. hopefully. 
    That might be true. In fact, this comment section that I posted is for the death of a conservative radio host. But I think random person that made a facebook post is different than someone like him with a real platform, and that's what most of the people on that site are. 
    the misinformation that this guy put on his radio show likely got other people killed. to me, that is unforgivable.

    to be frank, i have no sympathy for him. none.
    I'm with you.
    I have no sympathy for people who are anti-mask/vaxx and then die from their choices 
    I have even less sympathy for the people in public positions, i.e. radio hosts, TV heads, politicians, religious leaders who are public about being anti-mask/vaxx and then die.
    Too bad.
    Your body your choice


    I'm not going to revel in their deaths, but I sure as shit won't get upset when other people do. We're talking about people going to great lengths and efforts to prolong this pandemic.

    Their passing is a net gain for the rest of us. 
    oh don't get me wrong. i am not reveling in it. i just feel nothing.

    i have gone on and on on the boards about how this pandemic has decimated my business this year and the anti vaxxers and anti maskers are prolonging it. 

    i am tired. i am angry. and i am frustrated. but i am not feeling any sympathy for people encouraging this pandemic to continue.
    I wasn't directing that comment at you specifically; If I implied that by quoting you, apologies.

    Now HERE'S an issue with anti-vaxxers. I could care less about what they post on their social media. But this is way too far....

    Anti-Vaxxers in Georgia Force COVID-19 Vaccine Site Shutdown: Official (businessinsider.com)

    Georgia's health department chief said workers at state COVID-19 vaccination events have been the victims of "threats" — and that one mobile inoculation site had to shut down due to "bullying."

    "I've become aware that many of our workers who are doing these vaccinations are receiving threats, hostile emails, harassing emails," the state's Department of Public Health commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey said during a press briefing Monday, according to The Telegraph

    "That shouldn't happen to nurses who are working in the field to try and keep our state safe," Toomey said.

    "I heard one mobile [vaccination] event had to close down because of the bullying and threats that were directed to our team," Toomey said as she blasted the aggressive behavior by the anti-vaccination campaigners. 

    Toomey continued, "This is wrong, this is absolutely wrong. These people are giving their lives to help others, we should be thanking them for trying to get life-saving vaccines to our state."

    COVID-19 cases, fueled by the more contagious Delta variant, have been increasing across the country, especially in Georgia. 

    About 43% of those eligible for the coronavirus vaccine in Georgia are fully inoculated.

    I don't even understand that; not even in the way that I understand them doing this at abortion clinics. There, they at least think they're saving children (don't get me wrong, they're nuts and wrong) but what / who are they protecting here? They're so deep in their rage over this, they don't even remember what they're fighting for.

    I’m not sure there was any educational intention. Out of curiosity I clicked and scrolled through the first few. About the 3rd or 4th on the list was this:

    *Explains a lot about Alabama. ”

    They used her death to make fun of Alabama’s education system. Classy.

    The whole point of this seems to make fun of people who chose not to get a vaccine and died from covid, and take other cheap shots while at it.

    I remember going on the ET ride as a kid at Universal. You’d tell them your name as you get on and ET says your name at the end. We’d always do that on the ride. You’d have to coordinate with a friend, one would be Ben and Dover. Or Stew and Pidassole

    In for a penny... in for a pound. Isreal's vaccine passport will require the third shot. It's looking like BC will follow the science and these footsteps, too. Sorry bout your luck poor-world people.

    It's a death cult. Literally.

    But it affects the rest of us, in a variety of ways. For example: the anti-vaxxers and Qnuts harassing school board members until they resign? The next step is the Qnuts run for school board because the non-crazy, non-masochistic people no longer want to have anything to do with such roles. They're in the minority, but since the rest of us don't want to try to out-crazy them, this is how it goes.

    Edit to add:



    We have to find a way to deal with such people. It's like dealing with a tantruming two-year-old: which techniques work best? Indulging them doesn't work, direct punishment doesn't work and reasoning with them doesn't work, because they aren't rational. My mother-in-law, who is brilliant at handling poorly-behaved small children without escalating things, probably would say "Okay, well, I'll just sit here and read my book and wait until you decide to settle down and put on your pants, and once you've done that, we can go to the park." The question is, how to translate that approach to larger humans and a larger scale.

    It’s certainly off the rails and it’s going to get way worse before it gets better, if it even does. Standing in a take-out line today and a group of students were talking and one of them was explaining how they were excited for their design a commune assignment because the world as they knew it was going to end in their lifetime. She then told all of them that they were always welcome but to bring their resources. I wanted to ask if I could join too but didn’t want to be that creepy person. Later on, someone came up to my car and asked if they could pray for me. End times indeed.

    FTFA: "It was not immediately known if either teacher was vaccinated."

    Narrator:  "They were, in fact, not vaccinated."

    Um, going by context, I'm guessing the FTFA used here is not the Urban Dictionary definition.

    I'm starting to think you peruse Urban Dictionary in your spare (all the) time.

    I think it was about 2006 when we discovered UD at work.  Literally nothing go done for about 60 days until it was blocked.  It was a glorious 60 days.

    Cases are starting to peak, as the rate of increase has significantly slowed down, especially in the states where the current spike began, in western Missouri.

    All good news, but does this make any sense? It’s not like residents in the US are being cautious, or limiting indoor or stadium capacities, especially in the states with the highest per person case amounts. Delta is about twice as contagious as covid classic, so why wouldn’t the virus just keep peaking? I don’t think we have run out of unvaccinated people just yet?

    and with natural and vaccine immunity only lasting a few months, this could easily keep reinfecting the same people over and over again.
