On Tuesday, the Cape Cod Times reported that Linda Zuern, a former member of the Bourne, Massachusetts Board of Selectmen and a Trump-supporting figure in the local Republican Party, had died of COVID-19.
Zuern died at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston of severe complications caused by COVID-19, according to the report. She was 70 years old and had not been vaccinated.
"She was a strong woman who believed in speaking the truth and defending our freedoms in America," Republican State Committeewoman Deborah Dugan told the Cape Cod Times. Dugan was at Zuern's bedside when she died. "I would describe her to people as a little woman but a mighty warrior."
For months, Zuern, a member of the pro-Trump group the United Cape Patriots, had promoted conspiracy theories about the pandemic on Facebook. She has shared articles accusing the World Health Organization of a coverup of the "Wuhan Virus" and claiming COVID-19 is cover for "globalists" to usher in "U.N. Agenda 2030" — a sustainable development initiative right-wing conspiracy theorists assert is a plot to create a one world government.
Zuern also expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, posting their creed of "WWG1WGA" (Where We Go One, We Go All).
Zuern promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment of COVID-19 during a Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates meeting in December and questioned whether officials "had looked into preventative measures that people could use besides a vaccine to help build up their immune system," the Cape Cod Times reported.
Peter Meier, chair of the Board of Selectmen, said Zuern cared deeply about others. "She definitely left her mark on the community," he added.
According to the report, Zuern and her mother contracted COVID-19 while returning home from a trip to South Dakota — a state where Republican-motivated policies have let the virus propagate with little control.
Four-year-old girl dies of Covid after anti-vaxxer mom contracts virus
Kali Cook died in her sleep on 7 September, within hours of showing symptoms of coronavirus

A four-year-old girl has become the youngest Covid-19 victim in Texas’s Galveston County since the onset of the pandemic, after several members of her family were infected.
Kali Cook died in her sleep at home on 7 September, within hours of showing symptoms of the coronavirus. She was unvaccinated, with children below the age of 12 not yet eligible for inoculation.
Her mother Karra Harwood, however, was also not jabbed and described herself as against vaccination. “I was one of the people that was anti, I was against it. Now, I wish I never was,” she told The Daily News.
Kali’s death comes amid reports of an increasing number of Delta variant cases being observed in children in the US.
Last month, the Galveston County health district recorded 1,382 cases of the virus in children younger than 12. Texas, till last week, reported at least 24 Covid-19 related deaths in children under the age of 10.
The child lived in Bacliff with her father, mother and four siblings, who were in quarantine after contracting the virus.
“I ended up getting Covid-19 and was diagnosed on Monday,” Ms Harwood said. “I came home and was isolated. I tried to stay away from her and didn’t want her and my other kids to get it.”
According to her mother, Kali's temperature increased at 2am and she was given medicine to try and bring the fever under control.
But by 7am Kali had died in her sleep, according to Ms Harwood. The child had no diagnosed immune disorders or other health conditions, she added.
“I did not murder my daughter. There are people getting vaccinated that are still getting Covid and they can still spread Covid,” the mother told news channel KPRC-TV.
The Galveston county medical examiner’s office confirmed the child's death was due to Covid-19 on 9 September after conducting examinations.
Health officials in a press statement said they didn’t believe the girl was infected at her school where she was studying in pre-kindergarten. Further contact tracing showed no students or adults who were in contact with the child tested positive for the coronavirus.
Officials on 10 September conducted an autopsy to find out other information, including pre-existing health conditions that might have led to the girl’s death.
Ms Harwood's five-month-old baby has also been infected with the virus, she said. “I’ve taken him to the hospital every night since because I feel like they’re not getting better, and I’m terrified,” she added.
A report from the American Academy of Pediatrics stated that children made up at least 0.27 per cent of all Covid-19 deaths in 43 US states. In August, the city of Houston reported its first paediatric Covid-19 death with no underlying health conditions.
Kali’s family has set up a GoFundMe page to gather expenses for her funeral.

Yeah, this is an antivaxer giving their child Covid who then died, not an antivaxer killing themselves as is typical in this thread. But it’s important that antivaxers are aware that children can died of Covid, even healthy ones, and being an antivaxer greatly increases the chance that you’ll give covid to your kids.

Nope. Prove it.

Maybe she died with Covid.
More Branch Covidian propaganda.
What’s the point? If we had a death certificate with a Covid diagnosis, you’d say the doctor was in on it. If we had a full autopsy and medical examiner’s report, you’d just say that person was on the take too. There’s nothing, literally nothing in the world that could be offered that you would believe because it conflicts with your existing view.

Covid "diagnosis" means jack shit.
Are you really this fucking stupid?
A positive PCR test doesn't mean you died from Covid.
Just as if you die of cancer but had flu virus present doesn't mean you died from flu.
There's a reason we have never counted deaths this way before.
