UPDATE (10/8/21): I'm proud to say that the sorryantivaxxer community helped raise Amanda's Wife's (and 5 children) Gofundme (see my ask below) from being stuck at $700 to now being $3700. That's one good thing we can be proud of, besides the fact that countless people have gotten vaccinated because of this "sorry" site.
According to this obituary, Amanda died on August 29, 2021.She leaves behind her wife and 5 children. Another sad tragedy. Amanda is beyond the stereotype of entries here. Both gay and deeply christian. Fragile yet tough as nails.
She thought it was a "myth". A victim of bias and misinformation like most anti-vaxxers we've seen.
That post made me cry.
Deeper investigation revealed that Amanda was the breadwinner in this large family. She worked two jobs and went to school for nursing. She was about to graduate when she got sick. Her wife Heather is on disability from a bout with Cancer .
Below is a link to gofundme for anyone who wishes to help her 6 member family (her wife never posted anything about covid or politics):
Call me a bleeding heart all you want, but if we can help this family of 6, it'd make this site worth doing after all.
RIP Amanda and bless her family.
PLEASE TELL EVERYONE TO GET VACCINATED
This was one of the tamest entries of one of the worst people. Married with 6 (!) kids, young, studying to be a nurse, and passing along Covid misinformation? AND LIVING WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD CANCER WHILE SHE‘S CARRYING THE MYTH DISEASE!? Why was her name blacked out? How come she wasn’t clearly identified in the photo (the tiny avatar, with a different first name & no last name was all we got)? Looking at some of the OTHER entries made before, and after, that of Adriana H——- , she ticks a lot of the boxes of a terrible person. For example: She could have saved some of that lost $$ by foregoing the piercings & tattoos; old enough to know better…
I am sympathetic with sketicism of media, government and the pharmaceutical industry. I'm skeptical too. Skepticism is in many ways well founded. But the problem is most skeptics are substituting one set of lies for another set of even bigger ones. True the biomedical industry is largely profit motivated. But False that the world is monolithic and that the scientific community *worldwide* would evaluate a vaccine as safe just for monolithic nefarious purposes. That's just not how it works, or could ever work.
Sad to see the effect of the choices
I would prefer to give my money to someone innocently contaminated by one of these kooks. Sorry for the poor kids but let her fool husband figure it out.
