Yet Another Anti-Vaxer Dies.

[Canary42]

You have to feel sorry for this nurse - struggling to keep the NHS afloat, but then her anti-vax Mum dies of Covid-19.

Sad

Prudie, my assumption is that if you don't have the vaccine you're at greater risk of illness and and unpleasant death, which I believe is still the case. I'm not gleeful about it, but I do admit to feeling some relief that I've done all I can to ensure it's not me.

[woofgang]

indeed Jno and I feel the same about those I care about. I really do feel sorry for that nurse

[Prudie]

That is also my assumption jno however there are still a fair few hospitalisations of vaccinated people (I thought I read 25%).
This is not the first thread to announce the death of an anti-vaxxer with the subsequent idiot and refuse healthcare comments. I can only assume those posters think the jab gives someone divine protection.
There is no knowing that if this woman had been vaccinated she wouldn't have died. It's very sad all round.

There is no knowing

but there is, statistically, an extremely likely guess.

[Gromit]

Haven’t read the link or story.

Pity they drain resources before shifting this mortal coil.
But they are selfish inconsiderate b**tards, so it is what we should expect.

[237SJ]

It's not just AB that says you deserve to die because you didn't have the jab. The mainstream media says the same. There is nothing wrong with questioning that but in the UK these days, that is not allowed

[anneasquith]

The vaccine won’t give us divine protection, but a much better chance of not dying.

[Bobbisox1]

I think these type of posts upset those that maybe have someone close to them for whatever reason , and they’re entitled to it, they don’t want the vaccine

[anneasquith]

SJ, who has said * they deserve to die* ?.

[woofgang]

it says a little over 30% here but no information about how many of them had pre-existing conditions that would make covid more of a risk for them...also no account taken of risk behaviour.

[Gromit]

Just selfish.
Like people who commit suicide.
They leave behind much regret, sorrow, sadness, and despair, because they are narcissistic.
Sorry but true.

Wait until the Fred news filters through to AB.

I wouldn't say I felt gleeful but there's definitely some karma in this one

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/aug/21/tennessee-radio-host-phil-valentine-vaccine-vaccination-dies-covid-19

it's one thing to be an anti-vaxxer, it's another to preach it over the radio, sing a Beatles spoof called Vaxman on air... and then as you're dying to advise listeners to get vaccinated after all (while still insisting there are some “very effective alternatives” to immunisation).

[ToraToraTora]

I think of these anti vaxxers like the conchies in the war, they want to benefit from the society we create and defend but they wont help. MAABOF the lot of them.

[ToraToraTora]

jno, karma? it sure will be when this guy gets it:

yeah ... what a superspreader, in his own way.

[Peter Pedant]

// and they’re entitled to it, they don’t want the vaccine//

entitled to what? their view? their right not to be vaccinated, their right to an avoidable death? their right to change their mind when it is All Too Late. their right to stupidity even if it affects others?

entitled to any or all?

[Peter Pedant]

Dick Farrel, who had described Fauci as a “power-tripping, lying freak” who conspired with “power trip lib loons”,

blimey they didnt pull their punches

[bobbinwales]

Even if its 30% of covid hospitalised have had vaccines as woofgang mentions that'd a pretty low figure given that the vaccinated account for over 80 % of population. Looking at it other way round it means the 20% unvaxed account for 70% of hospitalisations. Only rough figures and may need taking to adjust for children but the patterns clear.

On the OP though I think these posts now are a bit distasteful and repetative. Sort of gloating

[William51]

How courageous of Amy to speak out about this. It is a tragic story and hopefully anti-vaxers will think again.
