This is a crock of shite dosed up while overflowing.
He got downvoted because there is a group of such staunch anti vaxers that they don't see things any other way..... but that if you get vaxxed you aren't a patriot. Or are a traitor to the patriots.
Some are so cringe that they think the these covid death stories aren't real.
And yes, some have posted this garbage here.
It is ignorant.
If you don't trust the CDC & FDA I am right with you and you have your right to refuse the vax-but don't make it a baw clique fringe patriot thing.
I agree piling on the guy isn't necessary, but let's be honest... what was the intent of the post? To share his grief or to spread fear porn? Has he posted about other friends that died? A friend's 17 year old died in a car crash the other night after leaving work... are we posting about all deaths?

There are therapeutics that work. It's stupid to let a loved one die because doctors refuse to do anything beyond putting them on a ventilator. You should be pissed at government cronies that are only pushing a political/financial agenda and doctors too spineless to go against obviously flawed protocols.

I still haven't met one person that's had COVID or known anyone that's died from it.
Same. It's because it's a hoax.
But people are dying from covid. Are you getting your information from fringe sites full of FBI honeypots with all of the passive aggressive Devolution Q bullshite?
When Devolution, nor 'August is hot' Q bullshite does not happen. When will the new date be? Repeating the same thing expecting a different result is insane.

No, that wasn’t my initial intent.
I posted because I believe that all the arguing and fighting is for nothing. We all make decisions based on our personal experiences. For some, Covid isn’t much more than a debate on TD, while for others it’s taken loved ones, old friends, family.
I hate the fact that when someone who has been personally effected does post in an effort to show Covid does kill some, that poster receives grief.
It’s almost as if some posters here don’t want to hear how it can take lives. I get it. For most, even though they continue to tell us Covid is like the flu and that 99.999% of people who catch it will survive, there’s always that fear that someone close will contract the virus and struggle.
I’ve been posting here since 2006 and I’ve never seen anything bring out the absolute worst in people like Covid.
It’s okay to be scared.

Off the top of my head, here are the people I know that I'm 100% sure had Covid.
1- Cousin of mine that has a heart valve replacement. In great shape otherwise and in his early 50's. Was sick but came out fine.
2- Brother in law and his wife. We both sick at home for a week or so but nothing more than that.
3- Other brother in law and his wife and daughter. All overweight but sub 50 and all fine.
4- Happened to run into a woman who's younger son played soccer with mine years ago in the grocery store more than 8 months ago, and she mentioned she and her husband had gotten it before then. They were both fine.
Keep in mind, this is knowing several older and even elderly family members who basically never stopped going places and we certainly never stopped getting together going all the way back to last Thanksgiving.
That's it. I could add a few people that work at my wife's office, but I honestly only know them by name and barely that. I've worked from a home office for 20+ years so my run-ins are smaller than many...but even if I expanded it to people I knew at one point who happen to be on my Facebook page, I'm not sure I could get to 15.

Respectfully, I think everyone understands this. Truth is, tragic things happen all the time. I've lived long enough now to have lost lots of people close to me, and that started for me at an early age unfortunately. What I've learned over the years when dealing with that stuff is that while those things are always dreadful for the person effected and those around them, the world continues to spin. I can't tell you how often I've left a hospital after having visited a loved one who was struggling and while fighting back tears to drive look around and realize I'm the only one effected by this right now. Others are living their lives, blissfully unaware of my own personal heartache. And honestly, that can hurt. there's a part of you that kind of resents others' happiness when you're hurting. But you can't really live that way. I've learned that I have to accept that my thing is mine and mine alone.
From my perspective, that's a good thing. It helps to center yourself and to remember that just because something bas has happened to you, it does not mean everyone else has to alter their lives. For many of us, we have been asked to completely alter our lives for something which has not directly effected us at all. And because of that, we're angry about it. We've had many of our personal liberties stripped away from us based on what statistically amounts to a tiny fraction of the public dying or even being roughly effected by this. For those directly effected multiple times, this may feel like something worthwhile to give up. To the rest of us, it does not. Think distraught family members after some school shooting desperately wanting to ban guns for instance.
All that said, no one should be giving you or anyone else grief about being personally touched by this or anything else. I appreciate you having taken the time to post what you did originally.

I know at least 20 people who have had it, including myself. I think I have had it 2 times since January. First time was worse. The recent one was like a mild cold.
I have heard of people that friends of mine know being hospitalized but none dying. I personally don’t know of anyone who has been hospitalized or that died.
