A pretty graphic display of before and after Covid.

[Siwsan]

This guy was some sort of musician/religious fanatic and loud and proud anti-vaxxer. The operative word being 'was' because he is, no more. Now, the first photo is pretty heavily filtered but the second most definitely is not. Covid deniers need to see just this sort of thing, although some would probably still be in denial.

1. Good find

Before and afters are effective communication, which is why weight loss companies use this technique so often.

[PJMcK]

2. Very good point

Before/After pictures tell a big story and it's not just for weight loss companies.

However, do you think it'll work for Mike Pompeo? (wink)

[viva la]

3. He worked with some big names....

6. Cinderella opened for Bon Jovi. Great concert! Very sorry to hear this gentleman went out this way.

[Klaralven]

4. From his facebook --

Intro
Servant of God, Prophetic Music Composer, Songwriter and Multi-Platinum Lead Guitarist

[Siwsan]

5. This is a gem of a post from his FB. He's got some big time religious tunnel vision

Somehow I doubt people of the Jewish faith are going to be shouting "Jesus is Lord".

[NJCher]

12. he clearly falls in this camp

"just plain crazy."

[LakeArenal]

30. Jesus... is/was/continues a JEW!!!!

He wanted to help JEWS.....

Christianity is made up later.
Jesus DID NOT worship himself.

True “Christians” should all take a vow of poverty as good Christians.

[DenaliDemocrat]

40. Jesus ended Judaism per Christianity

Temple-Centric Judaism (not rabbinical) was all about the sacrifice for their sins. A poor Jew would sacrifice a couple doves, a rich Jew perhaps their prized bull. As an agrarian economy- this made sense. As Jesus was God in the flesh, He was literally the ultimate Jewish sacrifice. That is why the Orthodox and Catholics call the Mass The Sacrifice of the Mass.

Jesus fulfilled Judaism. No other sacrifice was required since the ultimate one had been made. In 70 AD, emperor Titus destroyed the Temple and forbade it be rebuilt. Thus rabbinical Judaism, as we know it today, was born.

It’s also why Republicans are so interested in the Middle East. The Messiah cannot return until the Temple is rebuilt for the 3rd time. A mosque stands on it now.

Whether one believes or not is irrelevant. These beliefs still drive global policy today. It’s important to understand the story and their beliefs.

Yes, Jesus was indeed a very devout Jew who obviously had a deep knowledge of Judaism

44. Personally, I think the big secret is they believe Trump is the Antichrist

Of course, you won't hear anyone say it. But the Antichrist has to rule over the before Armageddon takes place, before the Rapture and before the return of Christ to rule over 1000 years of peace. The rule of Trump, as vile as he is, fulfills biblical prophecy.

[Aristus]

7. I feel so owned.

He really showed me, didn’t he?

[Siwsan]

9. The latest I've heard is we 'sheeple' have been given 'vaxicutions'

Well, it must be a very slow acting one. I got my first dose 11 months ago.

[sarchasm]

28. response to "sheeple"

YOU: So, i'm a sheep?
THEM: Yes.
YOU: That must make you a wolf then, so EAT ME.

[LakeArenal]

31. Jesus' people were his Flock.

Of sheep.

[uponit7771]

8. K&R, ... and the first pic looks healthy

[spinbaby]

10. It ends with Go Fund Me.

These anti-vaxers all seem to follow the same path from clever memes to death, and it usually ends with gofundme.

[Ford_Prefect]

11. They won't help either themselves or any of us, but they're not shy about taking...

[Rebl2]

13. So true

[paleotn]

17. "Rugged individualists" ...until they're not.

gofundme. Such irony!

[Ford_Prefect]

18. Self-destructive addicts IMO

[NJCher]

14. A life in three parts:

Born healthy
Listen to propaganda
GoFundMe

Spinbaby, your post had me laughing so hard.

[LiberatedUSA]

16. Might be a good way to respond to any anti vaxxer.

After they are done spewing their shit, just ask them “how do you want your gofundme worded”?

[Lucky Luciano]

21. Should end with "Go Fu.. Yours..."

[boyedav1969]

37. To help his family with medical bills

If these people put half as much effort into what they could do to prevent expensive ICU visits. But it's always someone else left holding the bag. They don't care if they've transmitted it to someone else, often times including their own family. Leaving their family with a mountain of medical debt? Not their problem either. If there's a silver lining, it's that there will undoubtedly be fewer of these selfish, ignorant assholes walking the earth.

[paleotn]

15. Stupidity has its price.

[FakeNoose]

19. It's another suicide by Covid

Jesus told him to get vaxxed.

[KG]

20. so, he was a bottle blonde.

sorry, antivaxxxer

[Vinca]

22. They all go begging after the fact when the vaccine would have been free.

If Barry didn't believe in science, he shouldn't have bothered going to the hospital.

[boyedav1969]

26. My sister's an ICU nurse...

..and she says it's funny how people who've disregarded the experts will suddenly seek professional help when they can't catch their breath. Then their loved ones request-or DEMAND-Ivermectin for them. It's like, they're in the ICU because they've acted counter to what the science says they should do, and despite that, they still want to go against the science. It's just insane.

[intheflow]

38. Like the people who check the weather every day

but think climate change is a hoax - not realizing it's the same scientists telling us about the weather and the climate. Science when it suits them, willful ignorance when it doesn't.

[Vinca]

42. Kudos to your sister. I can't imagine being in nursing at this time in history. Must be awful.

[Kali]

39. to be fair he was found unresponsive in his home

probably never came out of that

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. Sometimes, you get what you deserve

[Tommymac]

24. Out of fucks to give. No pity here.

May all the anti-vaxxers rot.

[KG]

25. so, he was a bottle blonde.

sorry, antivaxxxer

[boyedav1969]

27. The real tragedy...

...is that these people have no regard for how they're transmitting this to others, or the trauma they're causing health workers. The real tragedy is that the anti-vaxxers get to die while sedated.

[llashram]

29. oh well

he made his choice and it was to die like this.

[LakeArenal]

32. Tots and pears.

[ismnotwasm]

33. Just found out my sister in law is intubated with Covid pneumonia

My brother in law is apparently saying he wishes he had gotten the vaccine. He’s a bigot so I don’t talk to him. He ones of those who thought Trump was great. He’s also really sick right now.

[mahina]

36. Good luck. So sorry to hear it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. At least he died owning the libtards. Good for him.

What a waste. It's hard to have empathy for dumbshits like him, but it really is sad that folks would rather die than accept that maybe, just maybe, someone who spent a lifetime studying science might actually know more about science. Such a waste of life.

[NoMoreRepugs]

35. See ya later DumbAss.

Stand in traffic eventually you are going to get hit.

[bif]

41. How about a GoF*ckYourself page?

You sure showed us, didn't you?!?!

[LakeArenal]

43. That's a page I might donate to.

Funds going to our health care system.

[ymetca]

45. Well he bought

his stairway to heaven, I guess.

Or paid with the wages of sin, perhaps.

Store ye up no gold on Earth y'all, 'cause "Jesus saves!"
