My wife's Trumper brother has covid

Unvaxxed of course. Not doing great at the moment. He lives alone, has asthma and some other health issues. He found some doctor to prescribe Ivermectin. Their relationship would be problematic even without the politics, but he's her only nearby family and she still worries about him. She went to his house yesterday and dropped off some groceries and supplies at his door. Sigh.

the no-vaxxers that get slammed with covid?..I don't care if they suffer or die...the no-vaxxers are the reason this plaque has perpetuated...they don't mask up because freedom/liberty/Jesus...they don't get vaxxed because freedom/liberty/Jesus/tracking devices/human parts are in the vaccine...whatever...they are brain-washed Fox morons...my 78 year old neighbor, her 50 year old daughter, and their 65 year old housekeeper and sick, really sick with covid....none are vaxxed..their pastor said the vaccine was "devil's brew"...mother and daughter are in the hospital...mom's in ICU..I don't care...

and before someone says that I'm not being very Christian...I'm Jewish and my God is not a forgiving God so I'm good..

I'm quite sure that has been proven not to help with Covid.

These idiots won't get the vaccine but will try some unproven, possibly dangerous "cure".

These people are self-eradicating. The propaganda and crazy conspiracy crap is killing them.

the guys pastor got the "Pray away Gay" prayer confused with the "Pray away Covid" prayer.

Someone should ask him if he feels like going to a Pride parade.......

I see your post #24 and want you to know I feel for you, honestly.

You know how when you go to the dentist they give you a goodie bag with a toothbrush, paste, and floss? Treating the unvaccinated in hospitals was the biggest waste of resources. When someone goes to the hospital and they are diagnosed with Covid and are unvaccinated, they should give them a “goodie bag” with horse dewormer, an ambubag (since ventilators are a conspiracy), and be sent home. After all, if they’re going to shun modern medicine and common sense they can live with the consequences of their idiocy.

Looked like death warmed over when he got out. I'm glad he's okay. So long as we keep away from politics, he's a nice guy.
