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.

So you now agree there are medical advantages for individuals who have been previously infected with COVID-19 to get vaccinated? I am committed to ending misinformation that is killing people.
I question one mans obviously made up story and boom!
the media has convinced ordinary people to become shills for big pharma. This is after they've already brainwashed them into believing that only allowing Wal-mart, target, amazon and big chain grocers to do business while shutting down small ones is a good thing.
Ok, this has gone off the rails. I'm locking this thread.
And not that it matters to anyone much less Mizzou8541, but I am not a Covid denier. I know it's real, I know it takes lives, and I know it has no pattern. Some young and healthy get taken down by it, many old and decrepit, and many others have to fight to rebound from it. I'm 99.9% sure I had it earlier this year - low grade fever, body aches, and loss of smell and taste for about five days. This thing is real. It's the vaccine I have an issue with, and also the way the powers that be with their messaging towards it and their plans for it. I feel it's wrong in every sense of the word for a variety of reasons, the least of which is how it is being used as a political weapon by both sides of the aisle.
Sincere condolences for your friend that is suffering, Mizzou8541. Nobody should have to be suffering from this thing right now. I truly hope your friend is able to rebound and regain their health and vitality.
And I'll go ahead and say it here - stop with the threats and stop with the egging it on. I understand this is an overwhelmingly emotional subject, much less when it becomes personal, but threatening to kick each other's ass and mocking each other does nothing when opinions and emotions are so high. Everyone take a breath and walk away.
