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.

A guy I work with who was 25 died from Delta. Healthy dude with a very bright future. He lived in India, though, and did not have access to the vaccine. I realize this is also an edge case but it happens.

Good friend of mine, 34 years old went to ER three times and was hospitalized. Almost got on a vent but made it thru.
My step brother got it though and said it felt like nothing.

You know who else is not ignorant? One of the mRNA inventors, Dr. Malone—he said they did not know the spike protein was toxic when they engineered these things but they need to be re-engineered and removed from the market in the meantime. I hardly think he's ignorant but actually more informed than most—including you. You bought the PR and the state talking-points, you did not make an informed decision. I don't think you have a right to judge who is ignorant.
Lol you always got some expert you know. Spies and shit. You're such a joke.

Not that it was hard (it is LexLoser) but you just destroyed his opening frame that anti Vaxxers are dumb white trumpers.

Says he wants people to stop politicizing the Red Death, posts a story pointing out how a 70 year old Trump supporting unvaccinated woman that followed QAnon's "where we go one we go all" credo died of the WuFlu.
You're a hypocritical twat that was giddy at the thought of posting this story. And last I checked, this virus still has a 99.9% worldwide survivability percentage. Go fuck yourself you partisan hack.
