Among all the ways that COVID-19 affects our lives, the pandemic confronts us with a profound moral dilemma:
How should we react to the deaths of the unvaccinated?
On the one hand, a hallmark of civilized thought is the sense that every life is precious.
On the other, those who have deliberately flouted sober medical advice by refusing a vaccine known to reduce the risk of serious disease from the virus, including the risk to others, and end up in the hospital or the grave can be viewed as receiving their just deserts.
That’s even more true of those who not only refused the vaccine for themselves, but publicly advocated that others do so.
*** That brings us back to the tenor of the online reaction to the deaths of Ernby and her fellow anti-vaxxers. Some of those who object to the tone of the commentary are merely voicing a variation on the “civility” argument that was commonly raised against critics of the intemperate and inhumane policies of the Trump administration.
As I observed then, pleas for “civility” are a fraud. Their goal is to blunt and enfeeble criticism and distract from its truthfulness. Typically, they’re the work of hypocrites.
*** It may be not a little ghoulish to celebrate or exult in the deaths of vaccine opponents. And it may be proper to express sympathy and solicitude to those they leave behind.
But mockery is not necessarily the wrong reaction to those who publicly mocked anti-COVID measures and encouraged others to follow suit, before they perished of the disease the dangers of which they belittled.
Nor is it wrong to deny them our sympathy and solicitude, or to make sure it’s known when their deaths are marked that they had stood fast against measures that might have protected themselves...

But remember you can’t mock men who cut off their dicks cause they think they are women
Most of the deaths are those who have been “vaccinated”.
Same here! I started as live and let live on the jab. You want it take it I respect your decision and expected the same respect. That wasn’t happening even on FR the pro jab follow the science cabal were arrogant, condescending and mocked those who chose not to take the jab. Finally after a ton of abuse from co-workers I said to hell with being nice to these cult followings aholes!
Their god is science and it’s a false god of death and the sad part is they are clueless about real science. They just enjoyed their smug arrogance and mocking those who didn’t take the jab. I wasn’t talking conspiracy theories or any of that stuff, I opposed it on it being untested and I had medical issues that prevent me from taking it, didn’t matter one bit.
I have totally enjoyed though watching the conspiracy theorist make utter fools out of the haughty followers of the false god of science.

You probably haven’t noticed the anti-vaxxers celebrating or exulting in the deaths of the vaccinated.
Mock us if we die. We didn’t side with the slaughter of babies to save our lives. It’s like mocking a Jew for accepting firing squad to denying his faith. Mock away.
Of course mocking the pro vaxx at all cost who croak, that’s off limits
Among all the ways that AIDS/HIV affects our lives, the disease confronts us with a profound moral dilemma:
How should we react to the deaths of the Gays and IV Drug users?
On the one hand, a hallmark of civilized thought is the sense that every life is precious.
On the other, those who have deliberately flouted sober medical advice by refusing a life style known to be very risky leading to a serious disease from the virus, including the risk to others, and end up in the hospital or the grave can be viewed as receiving their just deserts.
On a side note:
Ha Ha. George Floyd died from an overdose!
Or would that be insensitive?
So if we mock LA Times reporters and celebrate their death and misfortune, we are racists.

It’s the pro vaccine crowd that is viciously attacked here, Sarge83

You keep flogging the clot-shots like a good little poodle.
Are you ready to have the clot-shot unexpectedly stop your heart while locked up on prison planet like the little bitch you are?
A message for Michael Hiltzik,
When the vaccine that you worship kills you within the next 3 years the world will be a better place. Goodbye in advance Libtard

Half of the people this commen is addressed to are COVID trolls and the other half are just gullible idiots. The list of shame: HamiltonJay; ScottinVA; Tennessee Nana; luckystarmom; subterfuge; MNJohnnie; lone star annie; frogjerk; Nifster; BenLurkin; setter
The stupid arrogant fool doesn’t realize that taking the vaccine increases mortality from all causes. He’s a snarling sheep who doesn’t want to know the truth.
That’s a keeper meme.
Leftists are evil.
Someone should remind mike to get his fourth vax.
