Another truly tragic COVID-19 casualty. In my family.
45 years old. 6.2 ft tall. Perfectly healthy. Never had any illnesses throughout his life. Was serving in the military (Lieutenant, O-3). As you probably know, military officers regularly undertake medical tests, and his was perfectly clean. Stationed at a weapons research facility, doing research on encrypted network protocols.
Not vaccinated (out of "principle", whatever the FUCK that means). Contracted COVID-19. Fell ill. Within a week he was in ICU. A week later he was dead. DEAD. Got that? DEAD!
A brilliant man, a great military officer and scientist, LOST due to some medieval, dark-ages, Ted Kaczynski-type ideas, circulated for-profit on the internet, claiming that vaccines, medicines, science, technology, are somehow bad for us and we should abstain from them. He leaves behind his wife and two little girls.
Sorry to post this here, but it needs to be heard. If the mods want, they can delete it or move it to Bob's thread. The pain is just too much for me right now. I just had to post this, in the hope that some "anti-vaxxers" out there read it and WAKE THE FUCK UP. I'm not talking about what I've heard, read, or dreamt, this is real life inside my own social circle.
And anyone offended by this post can go fuck themselves, thank you.
So sorry for your loss man and i know how it feels to loose somebody you have known from years and shares a special bond with them.We all know that we all have to die at one point as we are not immortal so basically we all have to go but what's shocking is losing someone so early who has no sign of previous heath disorder like in your case bro a perfectly healthy man who has his regular checkup gone within a week is so shocking even for us and i know how much it might have broken you and your family.So condolences to you for that.
I was never interested to speak about covid restraint topic in this thread despite of so many topics and people debating over vaccine related issues but after you shared this incident i can't control myself as i also lost someone very close to me during this pandemic and he was young and only 35 father of two children's living perfect life but the main problem was there was no vaccine introduced at that time and he went too early also leaving all us behind in pain.But the life needs to go away in right manner and we can't fill their loss easily.
But after that there was vaccine introduction and some sign of relief for the surviving one's but then i saw people arguing over it and giving out advise they would rather die then get themselves vaccinated and i was like surprised that what they are doing? You prefer to get yourself the victim of deadly virus who is capable of killing the healthy ones and those who have strong immunity also but no you are against it because of all the reasons i don't know.Then there was lot of debate over this matter but i was not interested in these discussions at all.
There are images being spread out on the internet to create some kind of fake demotivational spirit among the residents to avoid vaccines like this image :
There might be some government scams in these vaccine doses but they are not going to kill you but some will still live in that dilemma or say their prestigious ego that these doses are not correct or are tools to kill them fast but it's not the case which they need to understand.But at last i also don't want any debate as this is my personal opinion which could be entirely different from others.
I am Fully vaccinated and whole of my family members are also and we know the pain you have also faced mate and that's why we know the importance of our closed ones.There are options for you and it all depends on how you use them.
Sorry for your loss.
I read that image as pro-vax dark sarcasm. i.e. "Don't get vaccinated" says funeral home (to get more business)
It sucks that anti-vaxxers's choice is effecting everyone around them and not just themselves, but as they say, freedom isn't free. The virus is mutating and vaccine efficacy is not perfect, with more breakthroughs than we wish, so this outcome was/is inevitable regardless if your neighbor/uncle/Torque gets vaccinated.
Anti-vaxxers are already bearing a much higher burden of this, last we want is to take away their rights, as this is not a road anyone of us wishes to go down on.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
