Anti-LGBTQ activist who tried to stop vaccine distribution dies of COVID-19

[SunSeeker]

A rightwing, anti-LGBTQ activist who tried to stop her state from distributing coronavirus vaccines has died due to complications from COVID-19.

Linda Zuern of Bourne, Massachusetts passed away last week at age 70 at a hospital in Boston. She had to be flown to the hospital due to her severe case of COVID and was in a coma at the end of her life, breathing through a ventilator. She was not vaccinated against coronavirus, according to people who knew her.

Zuern went to South Dakota to visit her mother and, when she was returning to Massachusetts, both she and her mother developed COVID-19 symptoms. Her mother survived.

1. Yet she had no qualms about using medical care/resources.

She would deny help to others.

2. Yup. Typical Republican psychopath. nt

3. Maybe this is part of why Fox News is turning

although I think Lawsuits may have more to do with it including them vaccinating the people that work there which could factor into the lawsuit.

4. Good.

I don't advocate for violence BUT I also can't deny that every death of an anti-LGBTQ "activist" contributes to my safety and that of people like me. The fewer of those people in the world, the better from my POV. I don't mourn. She wouldn't mourn for me if I died.

5. My only problem with it is they might create & spread a deadlier variant before they die.

These anti-vaxxers are walking covid variant petri dishes.

"Ding Dong the Witch is dead...which old witch?...the WICKED Witch!...Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is dead!"

8. Sad.

Too bad that I'm all out of thoughts and prayers except for the innocent people she may have infected or encouraged to not get a vaccine.

9. Her hat now is closer to its goal.

Wait? Is she a "secret" lesbian?

10. The local press was much more charitable to her.

They left the most terrible parts out. Massachusetts is safer with her gone.

15. Yeah, Mika totally white-washed her bio on the show this morning - describing

her as a "Republican activist". She said that she was discussing her death with Joe (who has been away from the show for a week - who the hell knows why?), and they were openly sympathetic, saying things like they felt awful that she was so naive to believe the Facebooks and the Fox News people and the Repuke politicians.

Mika never revealed the fact that this woman built her fame on bigotry toward a marginalized group.

11. I read the article at the link

and she was clearly a truly horrible person. Her legacy is hatred for others.

12. Would it be too rude for me to laugh?

14. Suits me.

My only problem is all the medical attention she got at the end. Somebody much more deserving was deprived of it.
