Sheriff deputy who mocked Covid vaccines dies of Covid

Awful that this person died because he believed lies and garbage about Covid and the Covid vaccine. The Twitter thread has all kinds of social media posts by him mocking people who get vaccinated. Ignorance kills. Lies kill.

I get that there are uninformed people. But there are the “uninformed”, and then there are the “willfully resistant to factual information” types. More than likely, this guy was willfully resistant to information. He likely succumbed to propaganda and wild conspiracy theories. It is tragic he died. However, if he had been in possession of critical thinking skills, the propaganda he had been exposed to would have been ineffective.

He mocked people who got vaccinated. As a police officer people probably listened to him. Better he die than them. Maybe now people in his group of friends who didn’t already want the vaccine will get it.

He was an adult, apparently functional enough to hold a job. He was entirely responsible for his own choices and actions, and was entirely capable of learning the basic facts about Covid and vaccines.

I'm sure that I'm a terrible person, but I have absolutely no sympathy. I only hope that he didn't infect anyone else, or cause any other deaths.

At least he can serve as an object lesson for people who think it only kills elderly people.

Thu May 27, 2021, 11:41 PM
May 2021

Vaccines help create the code that makes it work effectively against diseases without having to get the disease to do it.
It's a lot better to stimulate your immune system to make antibodies via a vaccine than to risk death to do it naturally.
Usually the immune system wins, but sometimes it doesn't..
This was one of those times it didn't win.
The deputy rolled the dice and got snake eyes.

As Ron White said, "You can't fix stupid".

- Man that is a bummer. If only there was something he could have done to prevent that.

- Had my vax, doing fabulous, just saying.......

- That's weird, I got a covid vaccine and I'm doing fine. I guess I'm just built different

- Guess that six feet distance is mandatory now.

- Dude, not a very good immune system

- flat blue line

- COVID is conducting an internal investigation.

- Well apparently COVID can stop a bad guy with a gun.

- you HAD a immune system.

- Wow how totally not tragic at all.

- Blue Lives, I guess even he wasn't altogether
convinced they mattered, himself.

- Hey could you share where his grave is, so I don't need to bother the family when I ask where to pee? I'm trying to respect their privacy.

- Can't be. My understanding is he has an immune system and covid is a hoax.

- I mean, you could have just not announced his death on Twitter, that would have been fine, too. Because, really, no one gives a shit.

- Covid killed more cops than any other way last year. Hopefully your department will take it seriously now. Get the shot and save your own lives, as well as others.

- Im sure COVID was provoked and will be absolved when the video evidence comes out.

- I heard it was the drugs in his system that killed him.

- why didn't he just comply?

Fri May 28, 2021, 08:40 AM
May 2021

Wouldn't give me cortisone shots until 2 weeks after the second Pfizer jab just to make as sure my system had incorporated it properly, because of the interactions between steroids and other medicine, especially anti-biotics and anti-virals.

Cops are the worst abusers of steroids. It makes more sense for the riod-addicted types to be hit harder by COVID-19 once they get exposed to it.
That neck didn't grow itself.
