After Andreea’s mom died of COVID-19 in April, the harassment started. Noxious messages started coming in after she wrote a Facebook post letting friends and family know about her loss.
One person messaged her to say they couldn’t believe her mother hadn’t protected herself. Andreea has since deleted most of the other messages, but she remembers people saying things like “I can’t believe your mom was an anti-vaxxer” and “I can’t believe she didn’t understand that COVID could kill you.” “Instead of people saying that they were sorry for my loss, they would question my mom’s medical choices. It became all about her vaccine status. It was incredibly hurtful,” Andreea, a language instructor, who asked to be identified by only her first name in order to prevent further harassment, told me.
It also wasn’t true that her mother was an anti-vaxxer. According to Andreea, her mom, who was a nurse, did have initial concerns about the vaccine, but after talking with her doctor, she had scheduled an appointment for her first dose. Unfortunately, she got sick before she could get it, Andreea says.
In 2020, dying of COVID-19 was widely seen as an unqualified tragedy. It was the beginning of the pandemic, when it felt as if the entire world was in a state of collective grief. There was a palpable, shared mourning for all the lives gone too soon: the smiling mothers and jokester grandfathers and so-and-so from church who always lent a helping hand. All victims of a virus, unfurling and cruel.
But that was before the vaccines. Before COVID deaths got caught up in a culture war.
Now the majority of COVID deaths are occurring among the unvaccinated, and many deaths are likely preventable. The compassion extended to the virus’s victims is no longer universal. Sometimes,

The Southern California Republican Kelly Ernby died, he husband bashed her, and blamed her for her death.
They bashed this woman for dying last April. Back then, legitimately, so people who wanted to be vaccinated weren’t able to yet.
Yeah hiding, what a rag paper, bird cage bottom fodder
I’m unvaccinated. I had COVID. Walk in the park. What about the unvaxed that barely touched.
And just what kind of treatment did she receive? Remdesivir and a ventilator? Have a friend (unvaxxed) that contracted COVID and unbeknownst to her was given Remdesivir. . .thank the Lord she refused the ventilator.
Hit by a bus. Corpse tested positive. Died of Covid. Cha-Ching!
“Now the majority of COVID deaths are occurring among the unvaccinated...”
Bull
When I was a little kid I won a goldfish at the fair. Before long it died of COVID, but I never told anyone.
My cousin got his first vaccine shot. He didn’t have COVID.
He was dead, in the hospital, three days later. They called it “COVID.”
I would be more interested in knowing jab related deaths. That would require autopsies, however.
Well the contempt cuts both ways generally speaking, I can’t really tolerate the politics of the left in any form, but we live in a society where the politics of the left are acceptable whereas anything remotely similar to fascism is not — it creates a dichotomy for those of us who react in a similar way to both types of political extremism.
For me, the routine politics of gender and climate change are just as abhorrent as would be a torchlight procession of anti-semites smashing storefronts in a Jewish part of a city, but to most of my society’s members, those politics are seen as routine, normal and fully “proven by science.”
The vaccine opinions are the same way, to me it’s a no-brainer to be very reluctant to add bucks to Big Pharma’s bottom line just to be part of a mass trial of some evidently dangerous substance they desire to inject into every human body. I really don’t get the unhesitant acceptance of this as “normal” when the future consequences and even some present consequences are not fully known.
And if they think less of me for not participating, so what, a final judgement will take place and that’s what I am more concerned about. The disapproval of Aunt Karen is nothing more than a passing moment in time, we’ll see how it works out for Aunt Karen later on.
“People Are Hiding That Their Unvaccinated Loved Ones Died of COVID”
...and they don’t want to talk about their VACCINATED loved ones who are infected superspreaders.
As with the annual flu, some people unfortunately die from the flu, just as some people have died from Covid. This has been going on since time began. Yeah, if you have co-morbidities, by all means, get vaxxed. But this ongoing dogma that everyone has to get vaxxed is ridiculous. Despite the never ending propaganda, even the Pfizer CEO has admitted that the vaccines do precious little.This has become a religion.
My liberal, insane sister heard through the grapevine that my husband had Covid. You should have seen the hysterical texts she sent for 3 days. If we hadn’t educated ourselves, I’m not going to lie, we would have been terrified. She didn’t know I had it too or it would have been worse.
The insanity of it all is that she, fully vaccinated and one booster had Covid about a month beforehand and still thinks the vaccines work.
Have to wonder if the hysteria that has taken over by the ProVaxx’d community was part of the plan or just a very beneficial 2nd/3rd order effect.
Those folks are insane and getting worse by the day.
Which makes me suspect there’s a lot of bull feces in this article.
they keep changing what a vaxxed is..
1 jab?
2 jabs?
3 jabs?
4??
many jabbed are considered unvaxxed now if they haven’t been boosted.
All deaths are covid. /s
We’ve had 11 family and friends get Covid and show enough symptoms to at least equate to having a bad flu. All of them completely recovered, and all but two took Ivermectin.
More importantly, none of them went near a hospital, ventilator or Remdesiver except one. And her wait was so long she left before they got to her.
