I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.

I have a dead uncle because of these nonsense theories he refused to wear a mask, social distance etc. The inevitable happened and he passed from covid within a week. All because of anonymous people on Facebook who I will never meet, and will never suffer the consequences of their actions. Makes me so angry
A friends mom was snowboarding with her grandkids the year before covid. His sister, a pharmacist btw, warned their mom off the vaccine. Their mom caught covid and died. The vaccine would likely have saved her life.
Tens, no likely hundreds of thousands of people surely died due to misinformation and fear mongering.
Now measles might be making a comeback as well.
It's feel so rare reading all those stories on internet, while my family is crazy alt-right that eat all the communist conspiracies on the internet, except the ones referencing vaccines or climate change. Like every newborn baby on the family is "quarantined" until all vaccines are on (at least the ones from the first 6 months) so everyone's following the vaccine calendar to mark when the baby's is going to meet the rest of the family.
My friend died before he was able to get a vaccine dose. He was young and fit and healthy, enough so that his death was covered in a local newspaper. He'd have probably have gotten his first vaccine dose if we'd caught COVID a couple weeks later, and that might have been enough to save him. I'll never know, and maybe he'd have still died, but I'll always resent people who have/had the choice to be vaccinated but choose not to.
