Have you ever seen a virus with your “own eyes”? Do you believe in them?
Yea, I mean people disbelieve that the Earth is round and that 9/11 really happened, so it shouldn't be surprising that people also disbelieve that COVID is real, especially considering that wearing masks or getting vaccinated could mildly inconvenience them, which for some people is equivalent to violent oppressive persecution.
Scott Apley dies of covid after anti-mask and anti-vaccine posts - The Washington Post
A leader of the Texas Republican Party hopped on Facebook in May to post about a “mask burning” party 900 miles away in Cincinnati.
“I wished I lived in the area!” wrote H Scott Apley.
The month before, Apley responded to what Baltimore’s former health commissioner was heralding as “great news” — clinical trials showed the Pfizer vaccine was effective at fighting the coronavirus, including one of the recent variants, for at least six months.
“You are an absolute enemy of a free people,” he wrote in a Twitter reply.
And on Friday, the 45-year-old Dickinson City Council member republished a Facebook post implying that vaccines don’t work.
Two days later, Apley was admitted to a Galveston hospital with “pneumonia-like symptoms” and tested positive for coronavirus, according to an online fundraising campaign. He was sedated and put on a ventilator.
On Wednesday, he died, members of his county’s party announced on social media.
Oh well....
It reminds me of this anti-vax poster that confronted me when I was new here. They supported the idea of those deranged parties where healthy children are allowed to mix with a sick child to spread chicken pox or whatever and compared that as a safe alternative to vaccines. Of course, those easily preventable childhood maladies can kill children that catch them. That fact didn't seem to register with that person.

It's amazing to watch this guy's video, where he says he's glad he got COVID and that it's no worse than the flu or a cold, with the understanding that he died from it.
Again, all I can say is.....oh well.
That's very similar to what I've always tried to instill in my kids. You may believe what you like, but reality won't bend to fit your beliefs.
That's a great video. It's too bad he couldn't tape the next day.An arrogant fool – Digby's Hullabaloo (digbysblog.net)
