If they handed out awards for smug, self-destructive stupidity, this one would be a finalist

The problem is that millions will simply shrug, offer empty comments like "thoughts and prayers", and forget about it because this will never happen to them, or their family.

1. Have to open this link, to really appreciate this - 'finalist'

2. How many of us have lost friends that were this way, NO WAY I'm getting the vaccine, or any of the

other stuff that effectively fights COVID, etc., they screeched to their friends.

I don't get sad anymore, I get angry. Especially when the vaccine has been given out by the 100s of millions of doses thus far, and so, where are all of the dire predictions as a result of getting the vaccine? Where?

Unfortunately, the doom and gloom is settling in on them instead.

3. Sad and angry, but mainly just tired at this point

5. Wow. What a surprise. I'm becoming numb to these stories. It was entertaining reading her

journey from before she caught the 'Rona through to her eventual end (with her change in mood and tone). I don't understand these people. Is anyone in her family or group of like-minded friends getting a clue? Or having second thoughts about their antivax beliefs?

Thanks for the link... as I said, it was entertaining.

6. In a cult, support for the narrative is vital.

And this support is often destructive to the cult members. But to reject the narrative is to admit that one was fooled.
