The Trump GOP from the beginning politicized the pandemic. They made it a test of loyalty to the Beloved Leader. Don't take the vaccine created by those Jew liberal fags that you hate so much. Believe the Leader. You don't need no stinkin' evidence.
And now as we're heading into yet another covid surge, the Leader cult is turning into a death cult and a suicide pact.
Here's testimony from someone on the frontlines in Birmingham Alabama:
I'm admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections. One of the last things they do before they're intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I'm sorry, but it's too late. A few days later when I call time of death, I hug their family members and I tell them the best way to honor their loved one is to go get vaccinated and encourage everyone they know to do the same. They cry. And they tell me they didn't know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color they wouldn't get as sick. They thought it was 'just the flu'. But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back. But they can't. So they thank me and they go get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death note, and say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives.
None of this had to happen. Over 600,000 dead was not necessary. That the epidemic surges again in a lot of localities in the USA did not have to happen.
I'm fully vaccinated, but I'm watching on social media people I know online coming down with the virus still over a year and a half into the epidemic. But for the ambitions of some demagogues and their willfully bamboozled followers, my mother might have lived the remainder of her life to its proper finish among family and friends instead of alone and isolated gasping for breath in a covid ward.
If I survive this epidemic, I will never forget nor forgive.
