A California man who mocked Covid-19 vaccines on social media has died after a month-long battle with the virus. Stephen Harmon, a member of the Hillsong megachurch, had been a vocal opponent of vaccines, making a series of jokes about not having the vaccine. "Got 99 problems but a vax ain't one," the 34-year-old tweeted to his 7,000 followers in June. He was treated for pneumonia and Covid-19 in a hospital outside Los Angeles, where he died on Wednesday.

I am not concerned about a virus that kills less than .3% of the people contracting it. I am concerned about Sodomites posting on Freerepublic…

Yep.

George Orwell didn't write "1984" as an instruction manual.

Exactly. Propagandist trolls post these, many here on FR too.

And how many vaccines are safe and effective have had adverse reactions or have gotten it anyway?

These stories are just more proof “news” is about narrative and propaganda nothing more.

The virus is real.. risk from it are low to most people…

Vaccines are real, and no one can honestly tell you the risks, particularly long term from it.

It’s impossible to make a true risk/reward calculation about the vaccines because no one is telling the truth. Everything about this is politics not science.

Anti-vaxxer conspiracy theory nonsense killed another one

Half or more of our political arguments could be resolved if we applied logical fallacies to them:

So this guy bragged he wasn't vaxxed and died means that any one who isn't vaxxed will die? Please look up "logical fallacies," starting with faulty generalization (wikipedia)
