Anti-Vax Folk Singer Got COVID on Purpose. Now She's Dead.



Anti-Vax Folk Singer Got COVID on Purpose. Now She’s Dead.
OUT OF TUNE

The Czech songstress Hana Horka needed to get the virus to have a health pass to perform in venues so she deliberately caught it from her vaccinated husband and son.

Hana Horkad, a popular anti-vax folk singer in the Czech Republic could no longer perform with her popular band Asonance—the oldest folk band in the country—amid new restrictions requiring vaccination or proof of recovery from COVID-19 to enter concert halls and performance venues. So when her vaxxed up husband and son caught the virus, she decided it was her chance to get a health pass without rolling up her sleeve for a jab.

The 57-year-old quickly became infected and seemed to be on the road to recovery, her son Jan Rek told Czech public radio station iRozhlas.cz. Then on Sunday morning as she got up to go for a walk she was stricken with back pain. Ten minutes later she was dead after choking to death.


“She decided to continue to live normally with us and preferred to catch the disease than to get vaccinated,” Rek said after her mother’s death Sunday.

Two days before she died the singer posted on social media that she made it through the worst of the virus. “I survived... It was intense,” she wrote. “So now there will be the theatre, sauna, a concert... and an urgent trip to the sea.”

In poetry, the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong in nonrhyming stressed syllables near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible (e.g., penitence, reticence ).
"the use of assonance throughout the poem creates the sound of despair


close enough

having had the virus does not mean can't get it again
herd immunity is not a thing never has been for colds and flu.
Trumps plan was foolish and we are still paying for it.

They're still alive but whining how they've been isolated from public participation. The husband, a contrarian by nature and habit, admitted he was committed to the resistance (that would be vax resistance). It's his personal philosophy, he said. Another freedom shrieker who refuses any civic responsibility.

I'm so weary of these people.

that the three ways I most do not want to die are:

1) Stupidly,
2) Painfully, or
3) Any time soon.

Deliberately catching Covid to avoid getting vaccinated counts as all three at once.

Conservative antivaxxers have been encouraging each other to catch it intentionally for "natural immunity". Good luck with that.

"Then on Sunday morning as she got up to go for a walk she was stricken with back pain. Ten minutes later she was dead after choking to death."

Stupid of her to not be vaxxed, but this is the first I've heard of this manner of death from covid.



RIP
