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.
Data? For most people who aren't 500 lbs or are hanging by a thread in a nursing home their chance of survival from the Mighty Rona is already 99.9%.
So take a vaccine or no, for most people it doesn't matter.
Obviously if you are 500 lbs or are old as dirt you might want to look into the experimental shots.
For the rest of us, the data says we will be fine. Of course if you consume panic porn from CNN and NY Times daily you might think differently and assume that 10% of people will die from the Rona (actual large amount of people think like this).
My brother is a respiratory therapist in Austin. He had a female patient on oxygen, who had had three unvaccinated family members die of covid. She's unvaxxed herself. She asked my brother to promise she wouldn't die. He said he couldn't promise her that, but he promised that they would do everything they could to prevent it. She wound up on a ventilator, and now her kidneys are shutting down. Not going to make it.
Covid-19 is a disease that strikes the old and the infirm. 80% of the deaths over age 65, a median age of 80, and 96.5% of the deaths occur in people with multiple comorbidities. 65% had 6 or more!!!

She told him she had 3 relatives die of Covid and that she wasn’t vaxxed?

I got my jabs because I am not afraid of needles and I am not a moron.
I understand my risks and studied them and did research and felt ok with the
risk of getting jabbed vs the risk of getting severe covid. The jab was WAY less risk. so I got it.
