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.

Yes, that's the Delta Variant at work. It is much more contagious than its brethren.
I think the article said that 41% of the eligible people in that county are vaxxed.
The efficacy is zero. For people who don't take the vaccine.

I wonder if my telling him all this antivaxx stuff was a good idea?"

Cases? They don't matter...
Yes, Delta has an R0 of 8. That's as contagious as chicken pox. If it had his last year, we would have been truly fucked.

Worked for me.
Got it, my immune system handled it and now I am protecting others while the vaccinated are still super spreaders.

Once I looked at the data early Spring 2020 and realized I was not at risk I have been doing the same stuff as I always did.
As for the neurotics and hypochondriacs, I suspect many of them are still cowering under their couches.
Ok, so I guess if you aren't following societal social distancing or other preventative efforts, you should pretty much stop claiming you are interested in being objective when comparing these numbers.

Aren't people already pretty much trying to post that anyway and it gets debunked every time?
Debunk this.
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.

No, I don't follow Chinese propaganda. I followed the standard Western pandemic playbook instead that was developed over decades.
