A woman who became the center of a harassment campaign against a Chicago hospital as QAnon supporters demanded they treat her COVID-19 diagnosis with ivermectin has died, according to reports.

Veronica Wolski, a popular QAnon advocate best known for hanging banners from a bridge in Chicago, died in the early hours of Monday morning after spending weeks in hospital with COVID-19.

Her death was announced on Telegram by conspiracy theorist Lin Wood, one of the biggest and most influential QAnon supporters. Wood previously urged his 814,000 Telegram followers to ring up the Amita Resurrection Hospital and demand that Wolski be treated with ivermectin instead of approved and tested drugs or vaccines.

1. Well,

may she find peace, which was never going to happen with her believing in QAnon.

[gab13by13]

2. No accountability for the Kracken lawyers?

They still have their law licenses?

[CaptainTruth]

33. The Michigan judge's opinion, sanctioning them & referring them for disciplinary action...

...was a thing of beauty. She ripped them apart point by point. I think it was 120 pages & it's worth reading the whole thing. Now the disciplinary authorities in the jurisdictions where they're barred are taking up the matter.

Sidney Powell, ‘Kraken’ Attorneys Sanctioned For Bringing Michigan Election Fraud Lawsuit

A federal judge in Michigan sanctioned pro-Trump attorneys including Sidney Powell and Lin Wood that alleged widespread election fraud Wednesday, ruling the attorneys should face a range of punishments—including undergoing legal education and potentially facing disbarment—for their lawsuit that attempted to overturn President Joe Biden’s win in the state.

Ruling their lawsuit was “a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process,” U.S. District Judge Linda Parker ordered the attorneys to pay the defendants’ legal fees and attend at least 12 hours of “continuing legal education” on pleading standards and election law, as well as referred the attorneys to disciplinary boards where they’re licensed “for investigation and possible suspension or disbarment.”

36. O.K. but that all means, so far, absolutely NOTHING! Until they lose their license to practice....

pay big and I mean big fines, court costs, civic costs to prosecute their nefarious claims, it's all a wash.

Let's await any and hopefully all of these things happening and save the cheers for later, o.k?

[getagrip_already]

53. I get your impatience, but......

State bar associations and disciplinary committees work at a painfully slow pace.

It's always been that way. With those crews, think in terms of years, not weeks.

But licensed or not, they will have a hard time filing any cases or being allowed to argue in federal court pending any discipline. They are likely in an area of legal purgatory.

Nobody is going to pay these clowns to represent then. They can only exist in a world where the right wing slush buckets spill into their pockets.

[Shrike47]

56. It's a long, slow process. Expect years.

State Bar Associations are reluctant to ruin a lawyer’s life in a hurry, even when the ethical breach is obvious and horrendous. They have due process, which always lengthens any proceedings.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. It's a slow-moving Doomsday Cult

Belief is more important than reality to them. Wish they'd hurry up and get it over with. They're making life lousy for humanity.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. The Death Cult has another Martyr who "Owned the Libtards" (excuse me, but it IS their wording). .nt

[nattyice]

4. And the world just got a little bit better.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Regardless, Chicago's IQ just rose.

[irisblue]

5. Wolski trusted science& medicine by going to hospital,then didn't trust the advice she got there

[keithbvadu2]

30. Trust

[UpInArms]

6. She should have died in a barn instead of wasting resources

Eom

[mpcamb]

47. Or stuck to trusted treatment- like disinfectant, ultraviolet and anti-malarials

*sarcasm thingy*

[Grins]

51. Why the "*sarcasm thingy*"?

They believe in those ‘treatments’ with all their (remaining) lung-power.

[Grokenstein]

7. Lin Wood has graduated from "annoyance" to "danger to the community."

Wolski may have been an idiot, but Wood exploits idiots and riles up mobs.

[Lovie777]

8. I still can't wrap my sanity around an Qanon father believing . ..

in demon seeds, demon dna, and killing his babies.

This is a warning about how crazy they are and what they are capable of.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Creating explanations for disease like it's the pre-science Middle Ages

Prepare for trial by cutting and trial by fire. The frustration of their futile explanations will yield additional "home remedies".

[essaynnc]

9. Did she get her drug then die anyway???? nt

[thesquanderer]

13. She did not get the drug. From the linked article:

"In his post on Telegram, Wood claimed that Wolski had been murdered by the hospital for refusing to treat her COVID with ivermectin."

[Tanuki]

16. Sounds like he's "practicing medicine without a license."

He'd be an even worse doctor than he is a lawyer.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. That's what I want to know.

[KS Toronado]

11. Lin Wood will probably sue the hospital for not giving her "life saving" ivermectin

Be interesting to watch him in court try and prove ivermectin is a miracle cure.

[NNadir]

12. No loss to humanity.

[Best_man23]

15. As the saying goes: Play Stupid Games

Win Stupid Prizes.

She died for her Freedum.

Tots and Pears.

[padah513]

22. Stupid games/stupid prizes was the first thing I thought when I read the headline

What's sad is that I'll probably think the same thing tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and...

[Aussie105]

17. Not so fast!

I'm still waiting for the Qanon doctors' trials on previous miracle cures, you know:

Internal bleach treatment.
UV light up private places.
Hydroxychloroquine therapy.

Not published yet? OK, I will wait . . .

[IbogaProject]

18. Didn't believe it was real until gasping for air.

Why don't these fools have it b4 they get sick? Oh because they both think it's a scam fake disease that the authorities are not treating. So it's fake, they are too strong to get it if it is real, and they don't fear it so they never prepare.

And if Ivermectin was so good why did this believer even get sick? Didn't she have it ready w her compliant pro-antivax Doctor? Even if Ivermectin works it carries the risk that you have to take it after you're symptomatic.

Merck it self said nothing for a year, but now they realised they had to protect themselves legally by clearly saying they don't think it works and it's not safe to bet your life on.

[FarPoint]

23. They get that " deer in the headlights" look....

Eyes speak to me before placed on oxygen or intubated..... " Asking with a locked in stare..." Am I going to die?". I have seen it way too much lately.

[Evolve Dammit]

32. I really feel for you. I imagine you have to steel yourself and just be focused on the adminstering

the care. Thanks for that.

[FarPoint]

59. Your most welcome...

Detachment is a learned skill

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. Who cares about these morons? Why do we bother giving them

space here on DU?

[rpannier]

39. Makes my day brighter knowing there's one less of them

[NoMoreRepugs]

64. True.

[Botany]

20. Veronica Wolski, a popular QAnon advocate died in the early hours of Monday morning.

Good!

[FarPoint]

21. Well

Bye Bye...Tried to instruct you with clinical data...to save lives....You chose poorly.

[lambchopp59]

24. Methinks the more reasonable scenario is lawsuit to halt RWNJ outlets from practicing medicine

without licensure.
It's another "hydroxychloriquine" bamboozle. Yes, it will cure your COVID, in high enough doses to cure the disease by killing the patient.
Frankly at this point if the likes of Tucker Carltooth aren't forced to renounce their mass murdering positions on this, it's long past time their overlords were sued beyond ability of having platforms. If there's any true justice, that would be it. Surely some judge can make a good ruling here...?

[johnthewoodworker]

25. What, another scientifically moronic Trumptard has died? So it goes.

[ouija]

26. Thoughts and prayers

[Johnny2X2X]

29. The delusion is fluid

So this person dies and now they can blame it on the doctors for not using Ivermectin. So they've graduated from it's not real, to this fake cure wasn't used so the doctors are killers.

[LisaL]

31. And if ivermectin actually worked, what in the world is stopping them from

staying home and eating the horse paste?
Why are they filling up the hospitals?

[Evolve Dammit]

34. That does appear to be the latest angle. They never stop with the cra cra.

[multigraincracker]

35. Veronica Wolski, another QAhole Deplorable that

just got owned by the Libs.

[Alien Life Form]

37. If I were there..

i would have stood up in front of the crowd and said "Ivermectin is safe and to demonstrate this I am asking Lin Wood to take a double dose right here and now..In fact I will provide free doses fo all!! Come and get it, Patriots!"

[secondwind]

38. Bye, Veronica.....

I hardly knew ye......... thank goodness.

[gordianot]

40. I have started to take a new approach to these people.

That is the very few I am still required to speak to, (whenever I have to meet them I wear a mask). I have been able to suppress my inner teacher. Hearing them spout the Ivermectin crap my response is noncommittal “That’s what I heard”. I also give a thumbs up when they quote that drug received a Nobel Prize. It pains me not to explain the context. It must just be me but being non committal makes them more suspicious.

[rpannier]

41. Here are four for them that reflect what I think

[Midnight Writer]

42. Now Lin Wood can claim he was right and the doctors (and government) were wrong. Lawsuit time.

It is a win-win for him.

Not so much for Veronica Wolski.

But hey, he wants to make an omelet, some eggs are going to get cracked.

[Javaman]

49. all the qnuts are cracked. lol nt

[Jetheels]

43. They shoulda just gave her some horse paste and sent her on her way.

[2naSalit]

44. Another one down...

Influencers of this cult are especially deserving of their fate.

[Butterflylady]

45. Well, I have only one word to say

But I won't say it, I can think it though.

[BidenRocks]

46. I wouldn't pay on any life insurance policy.

I don't think suicide is covered.
Anyone know more about insurance than me?

[Javaman]

48. the qnuts parade around the latest "witch" to try and burn at the stake.

but alas, they keep burning themselves.

fucking morons.

[Historic NY]

50. There is no evidence to conclude that a parasite medicine has kill a virus....

two different things, and no survivors.

[PatrickforB]

52. I'm tired of these people and their free-dumb, because it hurts others.

Republicans have become the party of stupidity, lies, treason and death. And Newsweek actually writes an article about this idiot.

[deurbano]

54. She went from a Never Hillary "Bernie supporter on the bridge" to a "QAnon supporter on the bridge"

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-bernie-sanders-bridge-chicago-inc-20161011-story.html
Why is Sanders backer up on that bridge?
Veronica Wolski, a Bernie Sanders supporter, gets her political message out on a bridge over the Kennedy Expressway.
Oct 11, 2016. William Lee/Chicago Tribune

…Since early June, come rain or shine, Wolski heads to her perch, not far from O'Hare International Airport, about the afternoon rush hour whooping up support for the only presidential candidate she thinks truly cared about the concerns of middle-class families. There, surrounded by Sanders campaign signs, she can be found waving down to thousands of slow-moving drivers who greet her with a symphony of honking horns, frantic hand waves and flashing headlights. The motorists represent a diverse array of races and nationalities sucked in, no doubt, by a 10-foot-long handmade banner that reads #BringBernieBack….

“It's like having a Bernie rally,” she said Friday on the bridge at Avondale and McVicker avenues, not far from her Jefferson Park home and near the Gladstone Park Metra station. “If you've ever been to a Bernie rally ... to have thousands of people, like-minded, you just feel like a community. And these are my people.”

Wolski, a married mother of an 11-year-old daughter, has become an object of curiosity, a photo of her recently showing up on Reddit. The animal rights activist has taken her crusade to the internet, creating the Facebook page “Bernie Bridges” that has nearly 600 members...
.
Wolski has vowed never to vote for Clinton, calling her more dangerous than GOP challenger Donald Trump, whom she simply called “a goof.” So she's leaning toward voting for Green candidate Jill Stein. “The media wants to put the spin on that all of these Bernie people are going to Hillary — it's not true!” she said…..

[Moebym]

65. Unfortunately, I am not surprised

I do not doubt that there are more people like Veronica Wolski out there who progressed from being anti-Hillary leftists to full-on QAnon cultists and conspiracy theory believers. Her story is yet more evidence to support the Horseshoe Theory of politics.

I have to wonder if the Pizzagate conspiracy theory had drawn her into QAnon. Someone who hated Hillary that much would probably have been more likely to buy into the nonsense that she was a ringleader of a massive human trafficking ring run from the basement of a pizza restaurant.

[Malmsy]

66. OMG.

[suegeo]

55. She would have been around age 64

Now, the dead cranks' Social Security money can go to back to the fund, for others to use.

[COL Mustard]

57. Flush. There Goes Another One

Just another turd flushed out of the gene pool. I will never understand those people. They don't want a vaccine that's been through the scientific development & approval process, but they'll take horse dewormer, HCQ, Vitamin whatever and zinc, all because some guy on Facebook told them THAT was the trick. SMDH.

[Ford_Prefect]

58. One more lemming has leapt off the cliff...more to follow.

I do not care about her self-destruction. She was an addict looking for a permanent fix who found one.

I do care about the damage she did while advocating her irrational point of view.

[jmowreader]

60. I'm worried about the doctors and nurses

If these people are insane enough to call a hospital demanding she be treated with ivermectin, they’re also insane enough to attempt to kill the doctors and nurses who work there for not treating her with ivermectin.

[33taw]

61. I think the Q folks should start their own HMOs and use their own protocols.

Traditional hospitals follow specific protocols that they must follow. They could write their own protocols and not use insurance companies.

[Scruffy1]

62. Hospitals do not prescribe medicine.

MD's or Physicians Assistants can. Lin wood is an idiot. Any doctor who did prescribe it would probably be risking at least his visiting rights, employment or residency.

[Jose Garcia]

63. Here is a video of her before she got sick harassing Staples employees over their mask policy:

68. So many nominees for the Herman Cain Award...

I hope the members of the Academy of Arts and S̶c̶i̶e̶n̶c̶e̶s̶ Bullshit can decide on this year's Hermy winner!

67. Look sharp, everyone...Dr. Q is on rounds!
