Joe Gaona, 56, El Cajon, CA. Throughout All Ages Mininstries

His schtick was to teach apologetics to young Christians in order to help them explain away science and logic apparently.

And he threw everything he had up against COVID.

Seems like we always end up with a GOFundMe page though.

An Ohio man diagnosed with COVID-19 whose wife sued to force a hospital to give him the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin has died, his attorney said.

Jeffrey Smith, 51, died on Sept. 25, his attorney, Jonathan Davidson, of Hamilton, told WXIX-TV in Cincinnati.

In August, an Ohio judge ordered West Chester Hospital to treat Mr. Smith with ivermectin after his wife sued, alleging that the facility refused to give her husband the drug, despite him having a doctor’s prescription.

Well...she kind of lost the lawsuit too.

A saner Judge prevailed and pointed out that Judges are not medical experts and that scientific and medical evidence did not support the use of Ivermectin for the treatment of COVID.

First, do no harm.

They mock vaccines, post dangerous, incorrect medical information, and in general say "fuck you" to society, yet when they are sick in the hospital they are such "good people" who deserve love and prayers. No they are not good people. They are nasty selfish people who caused their family pain and grief.

More recurring themes...

Dorothy Bayford, Age, 56, Gloucester, VA, Pres. Anti-vaxx.. 8 children. On the vent, in the ICU with COVID.

Her Twitter page describes her as a "Freedom Fighter who loves God and Country !". Well, she is a fighter since she's been on a ventilator for over 30 days.

Hydroxychloroquine.

Anti-vax, of course.

Her. Again.

Because I'm SuperWoman!

Uh oh.

Down to 70% with an blood oxygen saturation of 88%? A normal sat is about 98% on room air, which is about 22% O2!

Oh, and the last recurring theme? A GoFundMe! Because her 30+ days in the hospital has run up such a large bill that they believe that their share will be $300,000!

Katie Howard, age 68, from Lawrenceburg, KY. Founder of the Anderson County Republican Women's Club. Former GOP State Senate candidate. Anti-vaxxer. Dead from COVID.

And then, a month later....cue karma for Katie...

Trump Supporting TikToker Claimed He Fired All Vaxxed Employees At His Restaurant—And TikTok Made Him Regret It


So the guy who claimed that he fired all the vaccinated employees at his chain of restaurants unleashed a whole bag of KARMA when it turns out that he didn't, because he doesn't, and got fired, but also identified as having been at the January 6th insurrection and when his boss (the real restaurant owner) didn't separate himself from this douchenozzle's position....a little digging showed that he was with Pendleton at the Capitol riots.

So now both of them will being hearing from the FBI and Paparoni's Pizzeria and Grill and Countryside BBQ in South Carolina is getting a flood of bad press.

Dale Williams, age 52 and Melissa Williams, age 54 of Georgetown, IL. Anti-vaxxers, of course. Melissa's mother died of COVID-19, however she still refused to get vaccinated. Dale and Melissa died within a week of each other, leaving behind at least 5 children, and 5 grandchildren who will grow up with few memories of grandparents who died needlessly.


Of course, we begin with the usual anti-vax memes:

Deluding themselves about reality:

The usual anti-mandate stuff:

Uh oh, Dale's not feeling well. I wonder why?

Oh, so now we think that CoVID-19 is "no joke"?

But, in between coughs and gasps for air, gotta keep going to social media to rail against vaccines and mandates.

Ooops. Wife is in the hospital. Thoughts and prayers time!

Finally putting down the phone to focus on something important: like breathing.

Sick with COVID. What to do? What to do? Oh- let's go to Walmart, to the laundromat and to get some lemonade!

Uh oh. That burst of energy yesterday turns out to be a last gasp. Literally.

Just goes to show you that the anti-vax, COVID-19 conspiracy stuff comes in all colors of the rainbow...

Hmmm... apocalyptic Christian rhetoric. Marshall [sic] law? Don't quite follow the logic but we'll go with it.

Someone arguing for socialized medicine but anti-vax at the same time?

COVID-19 diagnosis and a moment of reflection:

I couldn't find any pictures of her to post that didn't include her children.


Amanda Adriana Denise Fowler - January 22, 1982 - August 29, 2021
Obituary


These posts tell us some interesting things about Adriana. Adriana was the bread-winner in the family because her wife had cancer and was on disability. Adriana worked two jobs and was putting herself through nursing school while raising a family. The graduation she mentions in her post is her graduation from nursing school- when she should have been marching to the stage to get her diploma and her nursing pin, she was instead instead dying of COVID-19. Her posts above aren't the usual barely-literate, QAnon crap. The posts are more well-written and introspective (although how can you be raising 5 children yet be an End Timer?).

But in spite of her nursing education and a 18 months of working EMS during a pandemic, and sharing a home with someone who was immunocompromised, she bought into the the anti-vax stuff and she didn't get the vaccine. Her death leaves a family of 6 with no income.

In a weird twist, the web crowd who research these anti-vaxers are donating to a GoFundMe for the family. Once the posts about Adriana were put up, donations to the site increased and they have raised over $4,000 to date.

Will the MAGA crowd- the ones that Adriana listened to: Trump, his Fox News "doctors" (remember Scott Atlas?) and other minions donate to help out a LGBT family without a breadwinner by donating money to the GoFundMe? Of course not. There can be karma but not always justice.

Someone arguing for socialized medicine but anti-vax at the same time?

Cynical response: it's not free because one life at a time is manageable and profitable; a zillion lives at a time leaves societies less profitable.

True response: vaccines are not free either... nor cheap. We are simply not paying for them over the counter at the "vax-station"... we are letting daddy state pay for it, and charge it on our account.


Remember about free rides, lunches, whatever.

Josh Archibald, age 28. Professional hockey player. Anti-vaxxer. COVID denier. Now benched by COVID-19 complication.

An anti-vaxxer Edmonton Oiler got COVID and now his hockey career might be over [National Post]

Josh Archibald is a forward with the Edmonton Oilers NHL hockey team. He refused to get vaccinated and had gone public on social media with COVID-denial theories. Now, following a diagnosis of a heart condition said to be an after-effect of someone who has contracted COVID, his playing days might be over.

According to protocols for unvaccinated players, Archibald was in a 14-day quarantine after travelling from the U.S, when he started feeling unwell. Archibald, 28, went for a battery of medical tests and doctors discovered he had COVID antibodies and myocarditis. It is suspected that Archibald had come down with COVID during the summer and myocarditis is a known after-effect of the virus.

Allen West, Texas GOP Gubernatorial Hopeful, Has COVID-19

Allen West, who said he did not get vaccinated, and his wife Angela who did, have both tested positive for COVID-19.

GARLAND, Texas (AP) — Tea party firebrand Allen West, a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Texas, said Saturday that he has received monoclonal antibody injections after being diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia.

The antibodies are used to treat those in the early stages of a coronavirus infection.

“My chest X-rays do show COVID pneumonia, not serious. I am probably going to be admitted to the hospital,” West wrote. “There’s a concern about my oxygen saturation levels, which are at 89 and they should be at 95.”

He also said his wife, Angela West, also tested positive and has received monoclonal antibodies. According to his Twitter account, Allen West did not get vaccinated against the virus, but his wife did.

Allen West on Thursday said he had attended a “packed house” Mission Generation Annual Gala & Fundraiser in Seabrook, Texas. On Saturday he tweeted that he is “suspending in-person events until receiving an all-clear indication.”

West is a former Texas Republican Party chair and Florida congressman. He announced in July that he would challenge Republican Gov. Greg Abbot, who is running for a third term and has been endorsed by Donald Trump.

West’s announcement came a month after he resigned as chair of the Republican Party of Texas.

West won a U.S. House seat in Florida in 2010 and quickly became a tea party favorite and lightning rod, at one point accusing Democrats of having as many as 80 communists in their House caucus. He failed to win reelection in 2012.

He later moved to Texas and largely stayed out of the spotlight until running for chairman of the state GOP party last year.

West then began criticizing Republicans as much as Democrats, calling the GOP speaker of the Texas House a “traitor” for working across the aisle, then leading a protest outside Abbott’s mansion over coronavirus restrictions.

In October 2020, West took part in a protest outside Abbot’s home, criticizing the Republican governor’s executive orders — including a statewide mask mandate and lockdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic. Those restrictions are no longer in place.

Allen West is a nut case's nut case-- Texas certainly deserves him!

Yeah, I was unfortunate enough to have Mr. West represent my district in Florida some years ago. My memory has somewhat faded, but it seems he was able to get in under some unusual circumstances, perhaps by an appointment by the governor or something shortly before the election. Sorry, but I no longer remember all the details. While he was in there, it was clear that Allen West had a couple of screws loose. He made all kinds of wacko statements, and it was impossible to follow his logic. On the plus side, he usually sent reply letters to my letters, which I usually didn't get from other politicians of either party.

In 2012, Allen West chose not to defend his seat in the House, when reapportionment made his district heavy Democratic. Instead, he ran in a nearby heavily Republican district, and still lost. Shows you what the voters thought of him.

Allen West was in Army Intelligence during the Iraq War. Apparently he was notorious for using terroristic tactics in questioning Iraqis, as in holding a gun to prisoners heads and screaming "Tell me what I want, or I'll blow your fucking brains out!" kind of stuff.
