IMHO... if you laugh at someone who dies or is severely injured from the shot.. you need to have a conversation with God. The folks I know who got the shot did so for several understandable reasons: they were told they would kill an aging relative or infant if they passed on Covid (even if they were not having symptoms and didn’t know they had it). Other people were told they would lose ALL of their college time and money and be thrown out if they didn’t get the shot. Some of these kids owe a good bit already and worked hard on getting a degree to pay off the loan. Some people got the shot because they were told they would lose their job, their pension, their home, their car... and the companies LOVED this because of all the money they would save from NOT paying out pensions. Not everyone is in the same financial position.. some are retired and could say no to the shot.. others have home businesses and could say no. MY POINT: I mourn, grieve, and pray for those who got the shot just as I mourn, grieve and pray for those who became ill or died with Covid. I place my disgust and hatred on the government.. plain and simple. Before laughing at someone who got the shot and is ill now... just remember, God sees you and knows your heart. My two cents...

What you wrote is what I have heard from so many of my family and friends as to why they got vaccinated.
No one is laughing. If the unvaxxed are proved right in their concerns, they have friends and family who took the shot and they’re worried for them.
Life goes on until the maker decides it's time to meet your
eternal reward. Each has to make choices in many areas of
their life, so be it and I wish for the best to all.
That is the cruelest "guilt trip" of all being played on us.
The first Christmas of COVID (2020), one of my sons actually asked us not to see them as they would feel guilty if we got sick after having visited them. Now my wife and I are both as healthy as can be and speaking for myself, I have never even been hospitalized in nearly 60 years of life and still take zero prescription drugs. My last significant bout with the flu was over 20 years ago.
But we stayed away as per their request. Fortunately, they came to their senses last Christmas and we had a great time together.
Now I have an elderly neighbor (just turned 85) that has not seen her grandchildren in two years. Her children keep them away from her and even when the grown children come over, they are fully masked up, the whole nine yards. It's very sad to see. I should point out that she's fully vaccinated but her children still do not feel it safe to bring the grandchildren over. Instead, they set up ZOOM meetings for her to speak to her grandkids - can you imagine?
We have her over to our condo from time to time - if her children knew, they would have a conniption - and over a glass of amaretto, she told us that she wishes she had died before COVID because at least she would have nothing but happy memories of her grandchildren. Now she is bitter and lonely.
Taking an aborted baby tainted shot will end up being a discussion point with God
