I think this might qualify as a very ironic meme, posted by an anti-vaxxer

This was posted on November 7 by a woman who got Covid-19 back in December 2020 and now was suffering significant 'long haul' issues. She refused to get vaccinated and posted LOTS of anti vaccination stuff on FB. On November 8 she tested positive for Covid-19 AGAIN and died on December 1.

If they are super heart wrenching and smooth they are probably made up.

A few do have a change of thinking - sometimes they are survivors - but most are hard core who keep posting anti vax and covid denying stuff, even from their hospital beds. I have zero sympathy for them, or any of their like minded family members.

According to her mother's social media (below) posts, Rhonda died of COVID on December 1, 2021. Rhonda, an LPN, was apparently against vaccines going back to 2016 and perhaps earlier. She got a bad case of COVID in December 2020 and came out of it in mid January, 2021, but suffered with long COVID that even delayed some surgery she was supposed to have. However, despite her suffering she remained against vaccines (as you'll see). But then she got COVID again and this time it took her out. Her mother seems angry at her.

The General Public is in a better position, now that they're no longer around to spread the virus.

spreading disinformation about the vaccine and about Covid.

I think most of these anti-vaxxers are unsophisticated folks who are being manipulated by death merchants.

14. This one was a LPN so she should have been a little less gullible

I have a cousin who has a PhD in environmental science and SHE'S anti-Covid vaccination. Her husband, another PhD, is vaccinated. And now that the unvaccinated family members have gotten Covid, I'm wondering if she's changed her mind.

15. My best friend, an aerospace engineer, just died from Covid. Refused the vaccine.

I don't think it is a matter of smarts or education. I think it is about personality types being targeted and manipulated.
