    Anyone who doesn't believe in masks, vaccines, social distancing, quarantines, and shutdowns for mass outbreak areas, doesn't believe in COVID aka 'COVID is a myth', case in point the late denier Stutts. Got it?

    Uhh not true, not even close to factual and to be honest it's pretty sickening that your mocking a dead person by putting words in his mouth. I believe in covid, masks whatever, and believe in the vaccine, I'm a republican, it's not partisan. Plenty on both sides have died, plenty dems aren't vaccinated and posts like yours hurts the cause, most certainly doesn't help.

    Alright, but from my point of view its pretty sickening someone with his influence spent months convincing other smoothbrains to ignore ignore and rebel against precautions that not only keep them safe but the rest of us as well, and he did so because of partisanship. Do a dive on his content, I only post a few images, he's got a treasure trove of spredneck rhetoric in his social (provided family hasn't taken it down yet). And hop on over to subs like https://www.reddit.com/r/CovIdiots/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/ where you can find mountains of similar rhetoric, the latter sub being specifically dedicated to people who spew this stuff and then catch COVID or even die from it.

    never heard of this person, sad all of his loved one and friends will have to remember this is the way he went after all he said about this virus and the vaccine... thoughts and prayers

    the only silver lining, is maybe some will get the vaccine that listened to him and then heard about this

    Essentially, this is a basic "Your rights end at my nose".

    I knew we were done for when I had to intervene to help some seniors in my local grocery store because younger people were actually pushing and shoving and rushing past them to grab ALL of the items they were trying to get. It's asinine. Luckily, our store manager is on the ball and he fixed the bandits by making the first hour of shopping ONLY for seniors.

    I'm not a senior citizen but I remember ALL our neighbors looking out for us kids. We would have never dreamed of disrespecting our elders or trampling them for the last dozen of eggs. It's disgusting and I'm ashamed at how some of us are acting. It's uncalled for, counterproductive and awful. It's sickens me how other people justify their abhorrent behavior.

    Right on, I've helped a couple senior neighbors get into the curbside action by walking them through apps. The local Publix grocers here experimented with a senior only hour early on in the pandemic but instantly canceled them because it angered boaters and kayakers and fishers and whatnot (which we have a lot of here in coastal FL) who come in, maskless, at store open to get ice and bud lite. It never even became policy, they killed it within 2 weeks of the trial phase IIRC. Money over people /smh. Walmart has a 'high risk' first hour each day but its only for curbside and they don't validate it in any way shape or form aka its a useless PR stunt.

    Thankfully we've got enough retailers here doing curbside that there isn't much need to go into stores anymore. Walmart, Target, Sams Club, Petco, PetSmart, Best Buy, I'm basically 90% covered exception being the closest of them all, Publix, which thanks to its spreadneck corporate board only deploys curbside into areas with high demand (money>people again) and passes the rest of its stores off to 3rd party Instacart which is a complete rip-off. Notably Home Depot and Lowes cut their curbside programs right as Florida started carving itself out as the COVID denier capital of the world despite being massively popular.

    No. You don't have it.

    It is possible to be opposed to FORCED mandates, and still believe covid exists and support voluntary support.

    I'm not sure why that's so hard to understand.

    The op is hardly a leftist if you happen to check his posts.

    Sorry, TBH I'm simply way past debating this. There is a line in the sand so deep we might as well call it a canyon. As far as I see it there are two groups of people; Those dedicated to making simple but highly effective life adjustments pursuant to quelling and ultimately defeating this plague, and those who's ignorant selfish conspiracy theory driven spreadneck denier mentality is working every day to see this plague not only continue but escalate.

    Because you don't want to be called out as an authoritarian opposed to the idea individual liberty. But unfortunatley, that's how you're acting.

    High horse much? Get over yourself.

    I'm sure you validate your fascist desires.

    Remember, the welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.

    Liberals sure do like to sit up high on their pedestals.

    Just in the light research I've conducted I have found that the premise of this op is lies and slander. He believed the vaccine should be personal choice. I didn't find he was advocating people to not take it. So I also believe the vaccine is a personal choice. I guess if I get it and die I will have people cheering?

    In that research you must have uncovered his vast social media contributions which have been along the anti-mask anti-vax anti-etc ideology. So, I imagine, if you were doing the same there undoubtedly would be people not cheering but likely mocking if you were to meet a similar fate. Personally I hope neither of those things are happening or will happen.

    Because its been 1.5+ years of battling the same ignorant, selfish, belligerent excuses to doing the right thing. Being socially responsible isn't authoritarian and liberty has never, ever, meant doing whatever you want regardless of the impact it has.

    Since you are mocking this man who recently died over some terrible political position, and you have access to his social media can you quote in context exactly what he stated? Or are you just parroting someone else's opinion?

    I think the doctors wait until your symptoms are severe to give it to you. They are complaining about this because the drug needs to be given early on to be effective.
    I think it's just complicated because if you gave the drug to everyone early on, there might not be enough drugs for everyone, especially those that really need it, but idk.

    The indication is, initial cases in high risk patients. So it's not for "everyone." But yes, it is wrong to wait for symptoms to be severe. That's not the recommended use.

    I put a few of his social posts in the OP. More archives can be found in r/covidiots and r/hermancainaward.

    Is this why you are showing such hatred? I'm not finding much else....

    People should be free to get the vaccines they want. Free not to get it. But what's happening now is that there's a discrimination starting to take place,” he told The Greenville News.

    You of the false understanding that people, government, and fascism can beat a virus.

    Have you not seen the perpetual nature of the common flu or cold?

    You're living in fantasy land. A partisan one at that.

    You believe that if people would just stop being selfish, or you were allowed to be authoritative over them, that it would magically go away. That it can be beat.

    You have allowed the partisan talking-heads convince you that yet another boogey man exists.

    I am about as anti authoritarian as it gets. I only wear masks when I am in a private business or a public building that requires it. I do not nor will I ever support any forced vaccination program. However I do not support State Governors who use their perceived authority to prevent school districts or city and county health officials from doing what they deem necessary or helpful in stopping the spread of what they perceive to be a deadly virus.
