There are two possibilities here. On one hand, you are willfully ignorant and your basis for saying this is politically motivated. There are reams of evidence of Republicans downplaying the virus. Reams. You can start by perusing the previous 71 pages of this very thread. If, on the other hand, you are sincere in your belief that nobody is downplaying the virus, congratulations on emerging from underneath your rock. You've missed a lot in the past 20 months! |
"there is nobody downplaying the virus"
You realize that right now, kids are the sacrificial lambs, by virtue of closed schools and increased hospitalizations, of the unvaxxed selfishness, right? |
That's her husband, actually. |
She literally said NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CHOOSING TO NOT GET VACCINATED. Isn't it sad that she won't have the opportunity to rethink that?
My dearest hope is that at least one unvaccinated person who hears Kelly Ernby's story will take this opportunity to get the shot. |
"But but but it's only old and obese people dying from it." |
Personal responsibility. She made her choice. That’s what happens when you make bad choices. |
+1 I mourn only for the people these psychopaths hurt with their propaganda and any children left behind. I can’t spare any more feelings for people who acted recklessly. It’s like drunk driving but done to try and dunk on the libs. |
I don’t know about those who have listened to her, specifically, but if you read the Herman Cain Awards, they do offer “redemption” awards for people who did come to their senses and get vaccinated. |
I guess this is how we will have to get past the virus … wait for all the anti vaxxers to die off. |
There have been people downplaying the threat posed by the virus all along. There have been people downplaying the vaccines’ efficacy at saving lives. Personal health is about personal choices. Public health shouldn’t be. No one should be forcibly vaccinated, but vaccines should be required for high risk public gatherings where social distancing isn’t possible. Your only personal choice should be whether you’d prefer to get vaccinated or skip these events. |

Can you imagine being one of the other unmasked people in that room listening to this jag-off huff and wheeze, knowing that he's exactly the sort of person who'd go into a room full of people while sick. |
None of the people I saw are masked. It’s a suicide cult. |
Isn’t it interesting that right after his wife’s death, her husband has time to fight people and post on FB? Hmmm |
When I read that fb exchange, it made me think he was in the anger stage of grief, focused on her refusal to get vaccinated. I doubt he'd react that way if he agreed with her vaccine stance, and it might have been a point of contention between them. |
