Heaven just got a really moronic new angel!
You'd think by now the anti-vax crowd would be taking notice of all the people who've taken such a stand and paid the ultimate price for it. You'd hope they'd begin to question all the misinformation and false narratives that the Republican's they stand with have spread.

But I guess not, the "it will never happen to me" denial runs strong with these folks. It's clearly more important for them to continue to spread the Big Lie and all the smaller ones that go along with this political belief system they have, regardless of the outcome.
Those who might know the person personally, yeah, I imagine some pause for reconsideration would take place. But all this is guided by abstraction already, of gut-thinking revulsion to all those smartypants, so without that direct connection, no, it can always be explained away. This guy didn't die of COVID. He got pneumonia—the COVID was incidental, but the big government statisticians will inflate the counts.

My school became the first in Canada to announce mandatory vaccination for anybody on campus this fall (staff, students). Those in residence already had to be, but this sensibly expands the net. So at least I don't have to give a speech on the first day of class to tell students not to be an anti-vax jerk.

I'm not good at scolding—I'm more of a disappointed-frown kind of person—so I'm pleased to have this duty relieved of me.
