Another truly tragic COVID-19 casualty. In my family.
45 years old. 6.2 ft tall. Perfectly healthy. Never had any illnesses throughout his life. Was serving in the military (Lieutenant, O-3). As you probably know, military officers regularly undertake medical tests, and his was perfectly clean. Stationed at a weapons research facility, doing research on encrypted network protocols.
Not vaccinated (out of "principle", whatever the FUCK that means). Contracted COVID-19. Fell ill. Within a week he was in ICU. A week later he was dead. DEAD. Got that? DEAD!
A brilliant man, a great military officer and scientist, LOST due to some medieval, dark-ages, Ted Kaczynski-type ideas, circulated for-profit on the internet, claiming that vaccines, medicines, science, technology, are somehow bad for us and we should abstain from them. He leaves behind his wife and two little girls.
Sorry to post this here, but it needs to be heard. If the mods want, they can delete it or move it to Bob's thread. The pain is just too much for me right now. I just had to post this, in the hope that some "anti-vaxxers" out there read it and WAKE THE FUCK UP. I'm not talking about what I've heard, read, or dreamt, this is real life inside my own social circle.
And anyone offended by this post can go fuck themselves, thank you.
I am very sorry for your loss. May your family member rest in peace.
Please ignore all the insensitive assholes in this thread that are trying to turn your grief into their own perverse propaganda material.
Anyone wanting a better chance at survival should get vaccinated, it helps your chances, no doubt about that. But it seems that this terrible virus will ever go away, even in countries with 100% (or close to) we keep seeing more and more infections. From my point of view, sooner or later everyone will catch corona. Vaccinations are not going to rid of us this damn virus. What we need is a next generation vaccine which prevents infection completely.
