Give this lady a Darwin award (posthumously, of course).

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.

What does it have to do with China? We were comparing September 2021 case numbers in the US vs Sept 2020.
Lisa Shaw: Presenter's death due to complications of Covid vaccine
A radio presenter died due to complications from the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, a coroner has found.
Lisa Shaw, who worked for BBC Radio Newcastle, died at the age of 44 in May after developing headaches a week after getting her first dose of the vaccine.
Newcastle coroner Karen Dilks heard Ms Shaw suffered blood clots in the brain which ultimately led to her death.
The inquest heard the condition linked to the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine was very rare.
The coroner said: "Lisa died due to complications of an AstraZeneca Covid vaccination."
Ms Dilks said Ms Shaw was previously fit and well but concluded that it was "clearly established" that her death was due to a very rare "vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia", a condition which leads to swelling and bleeding of the brain.

None of the lockdowns were in standard Western pandemic planning.
No, they weren't based on that. We've known about social distancing and other techniques since the 1920s and earlier as a way to contain a contagious disease. US Scientists didn't need the Chinese to tell them that.
But that wasn't even being talked about in this thread. We had people claiming that the fact there were way more cases NOW as opposed to a year ago same date was some kind of revelatory fact. I pointed out that people were doing a lot more a year ago to distance and mitigate than they are now. That has nothing to do with foaming at the mouth about China.

Show me the pandemic planning prior to 2020 where this was the accepted mainstream thought pattern in Western Public Health.
I do know a girl in high school created a computer model on social distancing but it wasn't in the pandemic playbook (because it was theoretical).

The Venn Diagram of "People most likely to share articles about an 'anti-vaxxer' dying" and "People most likely to share articles about declining white populations in formerly white majority countries" is a circle.
