    Kentucky bride-to-be who hesitated to get vaccinated dies of Covid-19

    Samantha Wendell could not wait for her wedding this summer. For nearly two years, the 29-year-old surgical technician had been meticulously planning every detail, from the seating chart to the Tiffany blue floral arrangements, her fiancé, Austin Eskew, said.

    Wendell and Eskew wanted to start a family as soon as they got married, Eskew, a correctional sergeant, said. The couple, of Grand Rivers, Kentucky, hoped to eventually have three, maybe four, children.

    So when the Covid-19 vaccines came out, and some of Wendell’s co-workers said the shots caused infertility — an unfounded claim that has gained ground despite top reproductive health groups refuting it — she “just kind of panicked,” Eskew, 29, said.

    Wendell decided they should hold off on their vaccinations. It was a choice that cost her her life: Instead of attending her wedding, which was supposed to be on Aug. 21, her family is now planning her funeral.

    Wow, so sad. I'm vaccinated and I'm going to get the booster on the 20th.

    And we could post pics of people who were vaccinated and who now are either dead or have long term health problems… that’s all quite apart from the liberties we are being stripped of. And the divisions it is causing even within families. Disgusting fascistic behaviours.

    I certainly won’t be taking any vaccine. I do not identify as a guinea pig.

    Many people aren’t even anti-vaxxers! This is happening now in London… might have to watch it from the start to get what the people are saying… why they’re protesting…

    I could understand you calling the first couple million people to get vaccinated Guinea Pigs, but by now over 180 million Americans are fully vaccinated and the results have been great. That should give you plenty of confidence in going out and getting the shot.

    Tell you what, please let us know if you catch covid, plus arrange to have someone post for you if you die from it.

    Fine whatever. Believe what you want. Better a guinea pig than a statistic.

    Never saw or even heard of a single anti-vaxer when polio vax became available. Happy that I got the small pox vax---that's a bad one.

    I always suspected these people were out there (The anti-vaxxers, antigovernmental, flat-earther, type) generally living on the fringe of society in some shit-ass trailer in the middle of the desert, or in some rundown shack along the spine of the Appalachians, but that's not the case, a lot of these people are our neighbors with a fucked up twisted sense of reality

    Eventually the Typhoid Mary solution may have to come into play.

    She wanted to catch Covid, well "ask and ye shall receive"

    Far-right, anti-vax conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer tests positive for COVID

    Far-right Republican Laura Loomer, an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist who once said she wanted to get COVID-19, has tested positive for the virus and is experiencing “brutal body aches and nausea,” she told her social media followers Thursday.

    The failed congressional candidate and QAnon supporter said that her symptoms began on Wednesday and that she’s already undergoing treatment with several drugs, including hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria medication with no proven effectiveness against coronavirus.

    “I had a fever, chills, a runny nose, sore throat, nausea and severe body aches that made my whole body feel like I got hit by a bus, and after sleeping for a few hours, my symptoms started to remind me of how I felt when I had a bad case of the flu a few years ago,” she wrote on Gettr, a social media platform created by former President Donald Trump’s associate Jason Miller.

    AAAS

    The dark horse vaccine company Novavax announced strong results today from a pivotal, 30,000-person trial of its pandemic coronavirus vaccine in the United States and Mexico. The vaccine uses a protein of SARS-CoV-2, a different technology from the COVID-19 vaccines authorized so far, and delivered 90.4% overall efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 infections, and 100% protection against moderate and severe disease. Against eight viral variants of interest and concern, its efficacy was 93.2%. And the vaccine appeared safe and well-tolerated.

    This is the mentality you are dealing with.

    The unvaccinated are declaring themselves ‘Purebloods’



    Some anti-vaxxers have proclaimed themselves “Purebloods” in a campaign of biological supremacy against those who received the COVID-19 vaccine.

    “From now on, I refuse to be referred to as ‘unvaccinated,’” said conservative influencer Lyndsey Marie in a post last week. “I want everyone to now call me Pureblood.”

    Her hashtags included #harrypotter, #pureblood and #unvaccinated.
