- Bruce Gjovig, 70, Grand Forks, ND, Author, Anti-vaxxer, was in ICU with COVID, now recovering.
UPDATE (1/9/2022): Well, after almost dying from COVID, Bruce got vaccinated and seemed to have softened his stance, but now he's right back to posting anti-vaxx and anti-mandate stuff as if he weren't currently in rehab struggling to breathe. See below. Original Post (11/19/2021): According to this article Bruce is on a ventilator in an induced coma with COVID. Bruce is considered a conservative politics "powerbroker" in Grand Forks. He was the head of the University of North Dakota Innovation Center. He has been an Air Force-appointed community liaison with the local Air Force base since 2016 (no idea what that means). Bruce wrote a lot about COVID, vaccines, and mandates on his Facebook page. He's definitely an anti-vaxxer, as you'll see. Oddly enough, back in January 2021 he credited Trump with the vaccine. Even listed it as #1: And then he tries to claim the Trumpers aren't the vaccine holdouts. We know this is false. Here come the anti-mandate rants: He likes to claim it's actually the left that doesn't listen to science (he's a bizarro conservative): We now know that Florida DID break all of their previous COVID records in August. More ranting... I think he's trying to communicate some contradictions...it's hard to tell: I wonder if he'd like to revise his last statement here? What he's missing here is that MOST of those deaths are concentrated in the unvaccinated group. So his odds were (obviously) much worse. He's good for a meme or two: Of course he's anti-Fauci... Vitamins and minerals over vaccines, I suppose? He loves conservative cartoons: More Fauci disrespect: Again, the bizarro world Conservative says the left is killing science: Is this funny to right-wing conservatives? Do they laugh? More BS about science. All anyone wants people to do is use science to check science...which is what science is. Lay people questioning science is dumb. Another conservative who doesn't understand VAERS' limitations and its purpose. GRRRRRRR...what all this anti-vaxx stuff is really all about: This was posted on November 4: Now he's in the ICU in bad shape. I'll wish him well... Get better and push vaxx. ---------------------------UPDATE---------------------------- UPDATE (1/9/2022); First here are some quotes from The Grand Forks Herald, his local newspaper. (Here's a link to the full article: https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/grand-forks-bruce-gjovig-off-covid-ventilator-looks-to-recovery) So Bruce almost dies, then he gets vaccinated when he starts recovery and yet he publicly posts things like this: ^^^ Laymen questioning science is worthless, Bruce. You proved this yourself by almost dying. YOU are politicizing public health policy with posts like this. And I notice you NEVER post "evidence piling up" against mandates. You ARE a moron. That is not up for debate. Oh well. What a waste.
- Some of the anti-vaxxer freaks from Europe who recently died from COVID
Left to right starting with upper right: Alessandro Mores, 48, Italy; Maurizio Buratti, 61, Italy; Robin Fransman, 53, Netherlands; Bogdanof Twins, 72, France. Here are four (five, but two are twins) anti-vaxxer freaks from Europe who died recently from COVD. We have two Italians and two Frenchmen (Edit: Robin Fransman is actually Dutch, but his name Fransman means Frenchman so close enough). I'm putting them in one post for several reasons: 1) To get caught up with my dead-anti-vaxxer backlog, 2) Each of these guys only needs a short blurb to get the gist of who they were, and why they are on SAV, and 3) there weren't a lot of anti-vaxx posts I could find to present for each of their entries (the exception being Robin Fransman, who did nothing but retweet anti-vaxx propaganda on Twitter, but I'll include him here because 4 profiles fit into one picture better than 3). -------------------------------------------Alessandro Mores------------------------------------------ Freak #1: We'll start with Alessandro Mores, 48, of Venice, Italy, upper left in the picture, who died December 27, 2021. Alessandro was adamantly against the vaccines, so much so that he was angry with his eldest son who was vaccinated. He thought the whole COVID thing was a ruse, and that it was no more dangerous than the flu despite the fact that Italy had one of the worst COVID streaks of any country during the pandemic's early days. Apparently, the family had a difficult time getting him to go to the hospital, and when he finally did he wouldn't allow the hospital to intubate him. His son begged him, but he wouldn't allow it, and so he died 3 hours later, essentially committing suicide. I found this post: Alessandro Mores, 3 days before he died, posted this article: About which this was said: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ He, no-vax, already had the covid. Of course, the article does not say that South Africa, aiming at 100% vaccinated population, considers the effects of Omicron, on the vaccinated, to be mild and therefore removes the restrictions on asymptomatics. After the insistence of family members, the Mores, in very serious conditions, is hospitalized. Refuse to be intubated. After 3 hours he dies. 48 years old, leaves behind a wife and three children. Fake news kills! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIP Alessandro. ----------------------------------------Maurizio Buratti--------------------------------------------- Freak #2: Next up is Maurizio Buratti, 61, Verona, Italy, upper right in the picture, also known as "Mauro from Mantua"". He died December 29, 2021 from COVID. I think this guy probably persuaded more people in Italy to get vaccinated than not to vaccinate. "Mauro de Mantua" was basically a clown. He became a popular figure about ten years ago when he called into a radio program in Northern Italy known as Zanzara (broadcasting from Milan). He was a regular caller, and was constantly mocked on that show. There are even some social media pages created to mock Maura de Mantua in the guise of worshiping him. He's in the news now because, 1) he was an anti-vaxxer, 2) he's dead from COVID, and 3) he admitted on the Zanzara show that after he was diagnosed with COVID he went to the supermarket with a fever and his mask under his nose, with the intent to infect others. So, apparently he's one of the biggest assholes on SAV. Well, he died from COVID: RIP Mauro de Mantua. -----------------------------------------Robin Fransman--------------------------------------- Freak #3: Next up is Robin Fransman, 53, Amsterdam, lower left in the picture, a Frenchman who was an economist in the Netherlands who died on December 29, 2021 from COVID. Unlike the others on this post, Robin did post a ton of anti-vaxx stuff on Twitter. In fact, he didn't post anything but anti-vaxx and anti-government mandate posts. He was the quintessential anti-vaxxer: against vaccination, for Ivermectin, anti-government, for freedumb, etc. He had it all. Of course he got covid and died. Here are a couple of his translated tweets from his Twitter page: Pandemic-response-is-like-Nazis post: Vaccines-are-causing-MORE-fatalities post: Pro-Ivermectin post: He announced he was COVID positive on Dec 3: and he died from COVID 25 days later... RIP Robin. -----------------------------------------Bogdanoff Twins---------------------------------------------- Freaks #4 and #5: Finally we have freakiest of freaks, the botched-surgery-faced twin brothers Grichka & Igor Bogdanoff, who died 6 days apart, Grichka on December 28, 2021 and Igor on January 3, 2022. Now let me go ahead and admit that these two freaks don't fit the complete SAV paradigm. They weren't advertising their thoughts on COVID vaccines, or trying to convince anyone not to get vaccinated. They just felt they didn't need it because of their superior fitness (despite being 72 which put them right in the death zone for Covid). No, the reason I'm posting them is that I've known about these guys for quite some time. You see, many years ago I had a stint as a mathematical physicist, and because of that I was a regular reader of the mathematical physicist John Baez's blog, "This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics". I remember being very interested in an intriguing article he wrote about the "Bogdanoff Affair", where in 2002 it was discovered that these two brothers earned their PhDs in the 90s by fraudulently publishing articles in journals and defending theses comprised of complete gibberish; their work was simply a nonsensical string of research physics buzzwords. All of this caused quite a stir in the international Physics community, as it was shocking that this could even happen. In fact, it resulted in much tighter review processes instituted by journals and universities alike. I discovered that the Bogdanoffs published a book In 1991 called Dieu et la Science (God and Science) which became a French bestseller, but they were sued by astronomy professor Trinh Xuan. They settled out of court and the Bogdanovs later denied plagiarism. It's been suggested that the plagiarism suit spurred the brothers to obtain doctorates as fast as possible, since the back cover of their book fraudulently claimed that they held doctorates. Besides being grifters these guys are most famous for their strange plastic surgery and their 1980s science fiction TV show. In 2018 they apparently grifted some money from a wealthy but bipolar individual to help fund a return of their Temp X program (and get themselves out of financial trouble); this individual ended up killing themself during the lawsuit to recoup the money. Anyway, they refused to get vaccinated and even quoted Dr. Didier Raoult, the Hydroxychlorquine Doctor, that it was better to avoid the current vaccines and wait for some future vaccines. They died from COVID: RIP Girchka and Igor.
- Cirsten Weldon, 61, Sarasota, FL, "Influencer", Q-tuber, anti-vaxx, dead from COVID.
UPDATE (1/7/22): I added some more information to the bottom of this post because, well, its funny. Be sure to read the original post first. Original Post(1/7/22): According to social media posts (below), Cirsten Tien Soong Weldon died from COVID. Cirsten is a well known Qanon Conspiracy "Qtuber" who does live feed shows and posts on Telegram. She wrote "Intel Drops", a conspiracy theory-laden book she claims was an Amazon best seller until Amazon "killed it" by removing it. She is sometimes listed as an actress but her only roles listed on IMDB were as "girl in a car" in The Doors and "agent's girlfriend" in Hard to Die (she was topless in both scenes). She became an interior designer and owner of Eurasiadesigns, and claims that she has done work all over the world, including New Zealand, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Florida, New York, Napa, Florida and Tennessee. When she died she was living with her parents in Sarasota. She was once featured in Newsweek for claiming that Hillary Clinton died of "Kuru", a disease you can get from eating infected human brains, and that Angela Merkel was in "stage 3" of the same disease. As recently as December 28 she was live on her show, coughing and clearly very ill, claiming she had the flu and would be traveling the next day. Let's hope she didn't! Before we get started, all of these Qtubers seem to know and feed off one another. I think the influencer network for Qanon is rather small. For instance, this gal and sorryantivaxxer Doug Kuzma have done multiple shows together: ^^^ I wonder if Ricky Rebel has been vaccinated? This will be an easy post for me. I'm merely going to post three of her recent videos. Enjoy! First, here is anti-vaxx video she posted that was clearly meant to scare people out of taking the vaccine: Next, here is a video she made on December 27 where she's clearly very ill. She says she's having alternating chills and sweats, and yet still discusses some anti-vaxx stuff: This video is from the next day. She is clearly getting worse and now has a deep cough but still goes over some anti-vaxx stuff before going into election stuff. Then, at the end, she talks about her "flu" and about how she won't be on live because she's TRAVELING. Oh man, I hope she didn't travel and infect others around her. And then...she died, apparently. We'll keep an eye on this as these posts to question her death: and another... RIP Cirsten (maybe). UPDATE (1/7/22): Well, here is Ricky Rebel, the guy we mentioned above. He is mourning the loss of his friend in a way that only a Qanon friend could - with a conspiracy theory. At first, he's just sad, then he wonders "why?" Then he claims she was murdered...well, if she's dead, that is. What a mess.
- Earl Gilbert, 58, Cincinnati, OH, Admin - Health is your Wealth, anti-vaxx, dead from COVID
According to social media posts (below), Earl died on 12/30/2021. This SAV entry is completely different. Earl was not a Christian (Muslim), he was not a Trump Supporter, he was not particularly anti-science, and he wasn't pushing for medical freedom. He was, however, a "trust my immune system" guy. Earl was very much into nutrition, natural healing, health awareness, and natural supplements, as you can see from his Facebook Page, "Health is your Wealth". Unfortunately, even though he had friends who died from COVID in October, he seemed to believe so much in natural remedies and cures that he was against using the vaccine himself, and that his healthy eating and lifestyle would be enough to protect him. Also, it's clear that we need to educate people on how vaccines work with our immune system rather than replacing it. (So many of these anti-vaxxers don't seem to understand how they work.) This was his downfall. When I started this site I thought we'd see MANY more of these "natural cure" types of people, but instead there was a flood of right-wing anti-establishment nut cases. Unfortunately, Earl had a group of 914 followers on Health is your Wealth whom he undoubtedly influenced on the vaccines. Let's hope they learn from this. Let's examine Earl's position on vaccines and COVID: This first post seems to sum up Earl's entire thoughts on the vaccine: eat healthy and everything will be all right: He trusts his immune system: To be honest, when I first saw this I thought it was something you'd get from a sperm bank: Just wear a mask, man: Little did he know things were just getting started about this time: I have no idea what he meant by this: So, the vaccines are poisons? FYI, those side effects are your immune system gearing up to protect you later. I laughed at this. See? He thinks nutrition conquers all... Immune system! He clearly doesn't understand that vaccines are designed to help his immune system. In October he experiences the death of some of his friends to COVID. You'd think that would have been a wake up call... I think this is even a different friend than the one mentioned above... And here are his comments on his friend's death. He knows COVID is real. He says he's buried two of his friends now, but seems to lean on their being Diabetic as the co-reason. The same day he announced the death of his friend he posted this: He supports Kyrie Iving's anti-vaxx stance obviously: Again with the immune system. Clearly, we need to educate people on how the vaccines work to get your immune system to recognize the virus and kill it. It's ALL about the immune system. Seems to wonder about mandates... I think this is the moment he caught COVID: Could be. Looks like COVID... Uh...he thinks he got COVID from someone who was boosted? He admits he has COVID: Dead cat bounce, again. He seems to be getting worse. He still thinks his "natural body" will win: And he died. And that last sentence is the most important: Get Vaccinated!! RIP Earl.
- Doug Kuzma, 61, Newport News, VA, Right wing podcaster, dead from COVID.
UPDATE (1/6/22): Doug died, The Frog Network people think that there are many questions that need to be answered. Click here for the announcement: UPDATE (12/28/21): Doug is still going, and the Q-people are still pushing the Anthrax theory. Here is the latest update from one of those Q-people. Original Post (12/26/21): According to this story Doug is in the ICU on a ventilator with COVID. Doug is a broadcaster on the FROG News Network (F.R.O.G. stands for Fully Rely On God). This network seems to be at least partially a marketing scam to push Lifewave X39, a bogus patch that supposedly activates your stem cells through some kind of channeling of light. This network is also known to be Qanon Friendly and of course anti-vaxx and anti-heatlthcare in general (which of course you would be if you had an "alternative medicine" you were trying to sell). Anyway, Doug here got a VIP pass to a Lin Wood Qanon conference in Dallas called Reawaken America. It appears that it was a super-spreader event, and many of the Q-people who attended are trying to claim they were attacked by a biological weapon. They weren't attacked by a biological weapon. They were attacked by an anti-logical weapon -- their own brains. Doug is 61 and obese and now has COVID, and it's not likely that he's going to make it. We'll keep an eye on it. Let's see if Doug has earned his spot on SAV. (He seems to have changed his Facebook page to this latest one on November 8. I can't find his past social media accounts) : Let's start with an actual broadcast. Like recent SAV entry Paul Oebel, Doug interviewed the fake "Doctor" Bryan Ardis (he's an ex-chiropractor), who apparently will go on any redneck livestream to push his anti-vaxx and anti-medical views. Also, it doesn't take much to be a News Broadcaster these days...Doug is terrible at this: But here is his broadcasting award shelf. Notice the WWG1WGA sign? That's one of the ways we know he's Qanon. In his short time on Facebook he managed to get some worthy posts in: But he was REALLY excited to be going to the "Reawaken America" Dallas event, which is Lin Wood's, Mike Flynn's, and the Pillow Guy's Qanon traveling tour of Qanon freaks. Wait, wasn't Mike Flynn recorded calling the Qanon movement "total nonsense"? They've forgiven him this fast? Anyway, it looks like a great place for COVID to mingle: Early bird gets the worm, but you can get rid of it with Ivermectin: Chaos indeed. COVID wouldn't have it any other way: He gets back home on December 13: Immediately there is something wrong. Oh, it's just his chronic bronchitis: All of us here at SAV agree: it's headed in the right direction: Still going in the right direction: Someone tried to tell him to go get checked. But he doesn't want the doctors to kill him. He'd rather do that himself: Let's hear directly from Doug what an idiot he is: Some think the Reawaken event was targeted? That's what viruses are, biological agents that target idiots who don't wear masks or get vaccinated: Oh, and Mike Penny, the Qanon pushing YouTube-ing redneck from North Carolina, gives an update on Doug, now in the hospital. Then "Dr. Ralph" almost immediately launches into the COVID hoax theory. Why? So they can push this X39 Lifewave patch that heals everything (except a COVID infection apparently): You can watch the whole one hour and thirteen minute farce here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxbNwBa_ijw&ab_channel=MichaelPenny Well, things got worse for Doug of course...and Lin Wood is already is thinking about suing the hospital: Things get worse, and apparently it's not FROG (Fully Rely On God) anymore, it's become NOPROGRESS (Now Only Partially Rely On God, (but) Refuse Existing Scientific Solutions) And the latest from NOPROGRESS: Get better, Doug! ------------------UPDATES------------------ UPDATE(12/28/21): Sort of a nutty post about Doug and the others who got COVID. From this post we learn that at least 13 people got sick from the Reawaken America event: "...not expected to last but another day or two...." God seems to be on holiday. UPDATE(1/6/22): Well, Doug didn't survive. The Frog network people just reported it: We'll keep an eye on these clowns. RIP Doug.
- Kelly Ernby, 46, Huntington Beach, CA, Orange Co Deputy DA, anti-vaxx, dead from COVID.
According to this story Kelly died from COVID on January 3rd, 2022. Kelly Emby was a Republican who was an Orange County Deputy District Attorney who ran a failed campaign for California State Assembly. She was very much against mandates, which to me means anti-vaxxer. (I've yet to see a VOCAL anti-mandate person who is FOR the COVID vaccines.) Plus, her husband verified that she wasn't vaccinated. Another bull-headed conservative who made the wrong choice. Does Kelly deserve a spot on SAV? Again, you be the judge. I'm leaning towards yes. She thought Florida was doing a good job handling COVID. We know how that turned out once vaccinations started. California ended with a much lower percentage of deaths. Oh no...one person died from the vaccine? Was it due to the vaccine or simply "after"? Anti-vaxxers don't look deeply into these things. Of course, the FDA lifted this pause just 10 days later, after a review, but she didn't post that. Oh crap, she links to that anti-vaxx fraud "Doctor" Peter McCullough: And she digs deeper in support of McCullough: I wonder if she thought about this statement after she was intubated because of COVID? Did it feel like the flu? In hindsight it seems like she was a little premature in pushing for this: She appeared to like this: Well, she got COVID and died from it. RIP Kelly.
- Jackie Schmidt Cody, 47, Comstock Park, MI, Registered Nurse, anti-vaxx, dead from COVID
According to social media posts, Jackie died on Jan 2, 2022. Besides being an RN Jackie also had several comorbidities. She was obviously very overweight and she had several autoimmune diseases (APS/CIDP/vasculitis/dysautonomia). I looked up heath organization recommendations on COVID vaccines related to these, and while there was some early concern with Astrazenca, the consensus was that it was recommended for people suffering from these diseases to get vaccinated. Jackie, however, maintained her anti-vaxx position, and we see the results of that stance now. To be honest, I don't love posting overweight women; the comments can be quite vicious and it takes a lot of time to moderate. However, it's good for others who might be in her position to take heed, so I will post this. But, please, no calling her names, no comparisons to extra-large animal species, and please don't compare her to celestial bodies or architectural features. Was this RN anti-vaxx? Yes, she was: She was certainly against mandates: One of the most popular memes among the anti-vaxx crowd: She posts about her friend having COVID on July 16. Kathryn Wilson ended up dying five days later from COVID at the age of 42 (here a link to her obit): Freedumb, of course. This pretty much sums up her position on vaccination: This is idiotic. "We need them most now because of COVID. Don't fire them for not getting protected against COVID." Someone with autoimmune disease spouting about "natural immunity" is rich: Her daughter is an RN and had to work the ER on Thanksgiving eve because of COVID. Did she ever think maybe this is a sign about how dangerous COVID is? Obviously not, because she becomes very sick. She seems to know her days are numbered: And she died on Jan 2, 2022: RIP Jackie.
- Eric Carlston, 51, Rochester, NY, Anti-vaxxer, fighting hospital for "protocols", in ICU with COVID
According to this GoFundMe, Eric is in the ICU with COVID and resisting a ventilator while simultaneously fighting for the right to use the anti-science protocols. The organizer of Eric's GoFundME is SAV entry Ayesha Kreutz; she fought in court for Ivermectin but ultimately was saved by a ventilator and is now fighting to keep Eric OFF a ventilator. Just insane. (Sorry about the picture, some anti-vaxxers don't have the best profile pictures). Let's study this guy who is part of the protesting anti-vaxxers of Rochester, NY along with Ayesha Kreutz, and Marcus Williams. He's got it all...fighting for Freedumb and Ivermectin. Also, he loves rallies. He's one of SAVer Ayesha's favorites... He's really into Ivermectin: and Freedumb: Because...idiots. Dude loves rallies: Seems jealous of Nebraska's horse paste policy: ::sigh:: Consider the mind of someone who thinks this way: Did I mention that Eric loves rallies? Seriously, this guy takes my breath away: YES, go home Eric!!!! No, they deserve to live while your lungs deteriorate: Did I mention his love of Ivermectin? LOL. Really? Have any anti-vaxxers been burned at the stake? RFK Jr's book: "Doctor" McCullough on Rogan. Screw both of those guys: Rallies, Rallies, Rallies!!!! Your lungs' health is nothing to gain? Ok. Because their science isn't as good? Yes, Eric, FRINGE epidemiologists are dangerous and should be taken down. Fauci is right. Dissenting science is not a PR issue, it's a science issue, and should be dealt with in journals. The reason you are in the hospital is partially due to these quack fringe scientists. This kind of logic hurts my brain. ::reaches for Tylenol:: What? Who are we supposed to listen to? Truck drivers? Eric is certifiable: This story was about Deb Conrad. All of her claims have been shown to be false: He loves conspiracy theories: THEY? Beware of THEY! I'd love to see Eric's educational background: Uh oh! All of the posts he's made are about to bite him in the ass: Oh...but he's been "saved". Just in time! Except things turn on him, and apparently if God can't save you then it's the hospital's fault: And here is what Ayesha has to say: Why doesn't he just go home? Get Better, Eric (Listen to the doctors.)
- Andrew Wood, 56, Elizabethtown, KY, self-employed, anti-vaxxer dead from COVID
According to social media posts (below), Andrew died from COVID on December 30, 2021. It seems that this was a bad time for Andrew to kick off. He indicates that some of his cryptocurrency investments had recently paid off big-time, and he was even wintering in Phoenix and Las Vegas. However, he was an adamant anti-vaxxer which led to his demise. Does Andrew deserve a spot on SAV? You be the judge: Let's start with a anti-Fauci post: Classic meme from August: New York Post sucks: Andrew thinks the vaccine is fake, though. Actually, most of us aren't from Kentucky: Another classic meme from August: Most ironic post of this SAV entry. He gave his life all right: Why are we seeing this in the news? Because it's bullshit. This is what happens when 99% of your population is vaccinated. By the way hardly anyone died during this time: Loves DeathSantis, who by the way has been missing since December 17. He uses "sheep" and "let that sink in" in the same post! Amazing anti-vaxxer work: Another classic anti-vaxxer meme: This is the most false statement anyone could post. Laws and regualtions are exactly this: Biggest scam in American History? I think the Big Lie leading to the capital insurrection is, but what do I know? Actually, Andrew, you kissed your own ass "goodbye"... We didn't take your life, you did: What a list of lies! And his final anti-vaxx post: Well, he died from COVID: RIP Andrew.
- Arianah Stinnet, 26, Elmira, NY, Personal Care Assistant, anti-vaxx, dead from COVID
According to this gofundme Arianah died from COVID. She died on December 27, 2021. She leaves behind her young son and her 16 year old sister whom she had custody of since her mother died. She wasn't the egregious SAV we've had but she documented her entire COVID journey, which I think every anti-vaxxer visiting SAV should read and heed. Back when this pandemic began, she couldn't say home because she's a healthcare worker: But she ended up on the dark side: FYI, the #protectyourfamily was an anti-vaxx story going around FB back in August. Honestly, I don't know anyone who is for vaccination that thinks you should have a choice. Get fucking vaccinated already! Nurses especially should be fired if not vaccinated! That's it. That's all I could find. But then she gets COVID: Her son Tyler got COVID, too: COVID tips? (How about getting vaccinated?) She doesn't like COVID: Beds are all taken, probably by other COVID patents: Or...might we suggest...the 8 days treatment? Oh man, she knows what's up: She got approved for antibodies: But there isn't any: Ok, she's not giving up... Things are improving...(dead cat bounce we've seen every time?) Just a couple more days! She's kept her sense of humor: Not sure what this means for her prognosis: Just a couple more days! She's fighting: She reads the 7 stages of COVID (probably should've read that long ago, but ok): I think it's getting worse: Actually, we DO understand, which is why we're vaccinated: Ugh... Oh, but she only has another week there. (Hint: no, she doesn't): Last post: She died: Too young! 26 years old. RIP Arianah.
- Lisa Wise, 58, Burnham, PA, Registered Nurse, anti-vaxxer, dead from COVID
According to this obituary Lisa died on December 20, 2021. Her Facebook page has been scrubbed but a kind SAV member sent me some screenshots that show her attitude towards vaccinations and mandates. Not only was she anti-vaxx but her family members blame the hospital and claim the doctors didn't even try to save her. Also, her husband, Noah Wise, sits on the Mifflin County School Board and voted against the mask mandates recommended for schools by the CDC in late August 2021. She got one thing right: it's definitely coming. We tried, Lisa. Choose death over fear? Should the vaccinated take care of the unvaccinated, though? Fear? It's called precaution, not fear. Perhaps the truest statement ever made by an anti-vaxxer on SAV: Of course... Her brother thinks the hospital is refusing treatment. The only place that will treat her is in Florida? I'm assuming he means with Ivermectin? It sounds to me like they are treating her: This is a bold accusation: Her son gets in on the act. He wants justice. I'm guessing he tried to tell the doctors how to do their jobs. Justice? RIP Lisa.
- Mike Homer, 64, Dryden, NY, retired, anti-vaxxer, dead from COVID
According to social media posts (below) Mike died December 26 from COVID. Mike had just retired in July of this year. He didn't get to enjoy it long. Mike was an anti-vaxxer, and he's a study in cognitive dissonance. He lost his "traveling partner" and significant other, Vicki Hammond, on November 21, but continued to post anti-vaxx and anti-mask stories and memes almost up until his own death. At the last moment it appears he had a change of heart, and commented in a thread that he was going to get vaccinated after he recovered. Here we go. Pay attention to the dates of his posts. He's PROUDLY unvaxxed. I hear a Lee Greenwood song when I see this: Ah, the good old days. Remember when people got Polio and were paralyzed or died? I laugh when I see the words "Pure Bloods". And didn't all those Spartans die? Grim isn't going to like this post: Well, he loses his traveling partner, Vicki. She died from COVID: This is her son's announcement: He's sad: But at least he has Medicaid: Good thing. Because he's going to need it: He continued to be sad: But he's not going to be forced into getting vaccinated: Remember, he's retired: He's still sad: But still adamant: But even as he's posting that stuff he's in the hospital with COVID! and he's still sad about Vicki: So, he's lost Vicki to COVID and he's in the hospital with COVID and he posts: and this... and this... and this... Oh, and his lungs are trashed: And after he shows us the damage COVID has done to him, he posts: And he's still sad: And still shit-posting: And still so sad: And still suffering from COVID, himself: To his credit, he did say he would get the jab... He's not sad or suffering anymore: RIP Mike.
- Mike 'Santa Claus' Anderson, 68, North Pole, Staunch conservative and anti-vaxxer, dead from COVID.
UPDATE (12/24/21): If you don't get any presents on Christmas it's probably not because you were naughty. See below: Original Story (9/3/21): According to this obituary Mike "Santa" Anderson died on August 25th in Lafayette, GA from COVID. A staunch conservative and anti-vaxxer, he leaves behind his wife and 8 reindeer. Santa didn't think much of Dr. Fauci: Conservative Santa is into Universal Healthcare? Santa with Covid started feeling the Chinese Virus. But the elves couldn't come up with Ivermectin. Apparently reindeer don't get worms? Oh well, maybe now we can stop worrying about the whole "naughty or nice" thing. RIP Santa! --------------UPDATE---------------- UPDATE(12/24/21): Not sure what's going on with Santas being anti-vaxxers but according to this story, the "Hire Santa" lost a vast majority of 335 trained Santas due to COVID in 2021. Here is the full story: https://www.complex.com/life/santa-shortage-335-santas-died-covid-related Merry Christmas!
- Joey Bergdahl, 52, Blaine, MN, Registered Nurse, anti-vaxxer, dead from COVID.
UPDATE (12/24/21): I was hoping there wouldn't be any updates over Christmas, but Joey has passed away from COVID. See Below: Original Post (12/9/21): According to his wife's Facebook post, Joey is in the hospital with COVID. We've got another RN on Sorryantivaxxer.com. He is an RN-PDN Case Manager at Adara Home Health. Apparently they didn't have a vaccine mandate. I really think that there has to be some education in this area in the future. All these RN's bucking medical science and the advice of leaders in the medical world isn't very comforting. Whoever determines the qualifications for RNs should take a look at this. Well, at least he has integrity. I guess he doesn't... Integrity seems to be slipping... "I believe in vaccinations," just not THIS one. JFC. Freedumb... Full on conspiracy theorist working as an RN... What the hell happened to his integrity? If you're not careful your body will belong to the undertaker... We tried. Good god, we tried so hard... Hopefully working outside in the fields somewhere... Insuring that you have a job is also not a law... What about "contagious" does an RN not understand? Anyway, he got COVID, of course, and now is in the hospital... We'll keep an eye on this. Not a lot of information coming out of the Bergdahl camp though. So we'll see. Get better Joey! Become pro-vaxx. THIS VAXX! ------------------UPDATES----------------- UPDATE (12/24/21): Joey has passed away from COVID. RIP Joey.
- MAGA anti-vax movement, 2021, Trump just told Candace & the others they are wrong about the vax.
We take a break from our regularly scheduled program for this. This is just too good not to post. Imagine all of those Trump supporting anti-vaxxers out there, many of whom either have lost unvaxxed loved ones to COVID or become sick themselves, and will carry scars of COVID for the rest of their lives. Now their MAGA leader says "The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind .. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don’t take the vaccine." It's so rich with irony!! How many Trump supporting anti-vaxxers have posted Candace Owens' rants against vaccines? Most of the ones listed on SAV sure did. And then...this just happened: Of course HE CAME UP WITH THE VACCINE... LOL...but anyway, how stupid do anti-vaxxers feel right now? Their families? How dumb do they feel? I predict the craziest of crazies will hold the line and claim Trump has become Deep State, but I imagine a lot will get vaccinated now. What else are they holding onto? RIP MAGA Anti-vaxx movement.
- Bridget Jackson, 29, Port Huron, MI, Account Manager, anti-vaxxer, dead from COVID
According to social media posts (below), Bridget died 12/22/21 from COVID. She's so young and was engaged to be married, but she was an anti-vaxxer, and even though her grandfather (SAV entry, Bob Jackson) died in mid-October after battling Covid for two months, she remained an anti-vaxxer. In this case, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. She leaves behind 3 children under 10 years old. Such a shame. Turns out she was almost as bad as her grandfather: She hates mandates: She's not afraid (this was the day her grandfather got diagnosed with COVID): She hates masks: The Abbot and Costello meme: She's an attorney, too! We're the research, fellas! Research to see how much longer we live than unvaxxed people I guess. No way this is real: We know! We know what a vaccine is. Apparently she didn't. She signs a petition against mandatory masks: A common meme for the vaccine conspiracy theorists: Uhhh....this is wrong: There is a pandemic going on. Not sure if she was fully aware of that. Is she agreeing that she needs to eat less junk food? Some lie she posted got called out by Facebook: Now she's against vaccine mandates: We couldn't get you to wear a mask OR eat better and exercise! This is some anti-vaxxer-nurses-should-be-respected post: A lot wrong with a Republican posting this: Oh...her grandfather Bob dies: I guess God gave her COVID: WHERE HAVE WE HEARD THIS EXACT SAME PHRASE BEFORE? (Hint: see Bob Jackson. It didn't work then, either): It's called "breathing".... This was her final Facebook post: And she died: RIP Bridget.
- Bob Jackson, 73, Croswell, MI, retired, anti-vaxxer, dead from COVID.
According to this obituary Bob died on October 19, 2021. He was an extreme anti-vaxxer, as you'll see. He's also the grandfather of our next entry, Bridget Jackson. Let's see where Bridget got it from. This is Bob Jackson. At his age he should've been vaccinated, but he wasn't. I wonder why not? Let's see: It's because it's new? It's because of immigrants? Science of the lambs... Seems to be simply because he was stubborn. He proved this: Likes Info Wars apparently: Freedumb!!!! He likes posts from Ted Nugent. Ted is the right guy to go to when you want wisdom about technology, eh? Ted Nugent again: The comparison with the Holocaust so many anti-vaxxers love: And...he gets COVID on August 19: And still shit-posts about it: COVID just about got him: And....he's back in the hospital: Man, this COVID crap sucks! How could he have known? Also remember that phrase "Please keep me in your prayers." You'll hear it again soon. Edit: A SAV commenter caught this: ^^^So Bob Jackson came around and was listening to his Doctor. I wonder if he told his granddaughter, Bridget, about this? And, well....he died. This is his granddaughter, Bridget, announcing his death. You'll see her here shortly: RIP Bob.
- Jan McLaughlin, 65, Hermitage, PA, Car Sales, anti-vaxxer, dead from COVID.
According to this obituary Jan died on December 17, 2021. Jan was an extreme social media anti-vaxxer, as you'll see. He and 20 of his family members gathered for Thanksgiving, and out of those 20 family members 8 came down with COVID. Two of the 8 had to go on supplemental oxygen and another 2 were ventilated, including Jan here who died. I'm trying to track down the others. This was reported by a family member who attended that Thanksgiving get together. Thankfully, she and her family were vaccinated. Be careful this Christmas!! Does Jan deserve a spot on SAV? He sure does! We'll start with his Facebook posts in mid-August: Loss of freedom isn't forever. Loss of life is. Standard anti-Fauci meme: He definitely didn't prioritize fear over his life: That is funny! He did a bad job in justifying his refusal: Because they aren't virologists? One of these statements is true: Logic. How does it work? Honestly, they should've bought Moderna! Good news! He doesn't have to pay taxes anymore. Who is he gonna sue now? I take it that he ran out of soup? Best comment in the comment section for this post gets a special badge: Thanksgiving family get togethers aren't listed: See, those Congress people should've gotten Moderna stock: His most recent anti-vaxx post: Then this happened, one month and 3 days after that last post... RIP Jan.
- Fred "The Undertaker" Sinistra, 41, Belgium, Kick-boxer, dead from COVID
Note from Vaxman: we have a guest blogger today, Jean-Claude Vax Damn, who is an expert in the Martial Arts and is also against vaccines. Instead, he believes in using his Qi to fight illness. I just discovered, by letting one of my girlfriends read me this article. that my greatest competition for world alpha-male, Fred "The Undertaker" Sinistra, has been knocked out by COVID. Like a true alpha-male, he refused the vaccine. Also like a valiant warrior, when he got COVID he checked himself out of the hospital to fight the disease in the ring. On one hand, I give the man much respect for fighting this demon "COVID" on his own, but I must say that he must have been too weak to defeat it. Hear this, COVID, I will break you! You will not defeat me so easily! Here he shouts the mantra of all alpha-males: "A WARRIOR NEVER ABDICATES!": Unfortunately my fight of December 4th is canceled. I am disgusted but alive thanks to my little wife and my loving uncle Osman Yigin. A lot of sickness is going to attack my lungs. The CRP showing inflammation in my lungs is 165, and the norm is between 0 and 5. A warrior never abdicates !!!!!! I will come back even stronger. Already thank you all for your support 🙏❤️ And then later he posts: "STRENGTH AND HONOR". You are asking me a lot for my news, I THANK you with all my heart🙏❤️❤️I feel better and better I am being taken care of very well… The prey or the predator? My outlook is exactly the same as for this life. No need to tell you my choice. The march forward has been put since I was born premature and I will continue to fight until death like a man without ever giving up and dying without regrets ... "Strength and honor" And the announcement of his death: He joined his beloved eros and is at peace by his side they both watch over us now CÉLIA & DIEGO you these babies first NEVER doubt it your daddy loves you more than everyone else NEVER forget him either and above all he will always be there for you and me too 😓😓😓❤️❤️❤️❤️ He joined, Eros, the greek god of love and sex. He died a true warrior-man! RIP Fred!
- Garrett Burridge, 47, Groveland, MA, Ford-hating, Construction Co. Owner, on ventilator in ICU.
Update (1/11/22): Garrett is going to make it! See update and my last comments below: Update (12/2721): You'll be shocked to know that Garrett didn't make it home for Christmas BUT he is STILL with us, folks! More slight improvements. See update below: Update (12/24/21): Garrett is still hanging in there. See update below: Usually, the posting is all done by Vaxman. I thought I'd give him a bit of a break from posting for a bit. Let's call it an early Christmas present to Vaxman from Vaxxylady, one pro-vax friend to another. According to an anonymous source and a GoFundMe, Garrett is in a Boston ICU on a ventilator. Here is another father with young children who is fighting for his life because he, most likely, refused a vaccine. It doesn't have to be like this. Instead of spending Christmas morning with his kids and wife, Garrett will be in the hospital missing the kids' joyful faces as they check to see if Santa drank his milk and ate his cookies, and then find the presents he left under the tree while they were sleeping. I'm nearly frustrated to tears (if I had any left) because Garrett is just one of many across the world who is in the same PREVENTABLE situation. And c'mon...ONE of you SAV readers could have warned him about the goatee! Seriously. I can't say that Garrett and I have much in common and we don't know each other personally, so I'll share a bit of what I've learned about him. Garrett hates two things, Democrats and Fords. I'm not sure what he's got against Fords. Maybe it's because I'm not really into cars that I don't understand the contempt people have towards one brand over another. They're cars, pretty much the same on the inside, right? All gears, wires, and pistons under a hood, riding upon four tires...wait a second. That reminds me of something else, but I'm not going to go there. That's for another forum. Let's get back to the topic at hand. Was Garrett an anti-vaxxer? He certainly wasn't in favor of mandates or masks but was more quiet than our usual SAV-er about the vaccine, itself. He didn't push a lot of the the usual vaccine misinformation. He's also not one of the worst to be featured on SAV, so maybe, since it's my first post AND in the Christmas spirit, I'm asking that our SAV readers reach way down, beyond our frustration and emotional fatigue with anti-vaxxers, and show hope and compassion. HOPEFULLY, he will come out of this dreadful experience with a new lease on life, just like Ebeneezer Scrooge! Only, instead of going from miserly to generous like Scrooge, Garrett will become a proponent of vaccines and masks. Regardless, his choices caused his illness and immeasurable pain to his family, his finances, and likely, his long-term health (if he survives). Time to take a look and see what he thinks: I guess a few thousand deaths are meaningless to Garrett. This was a year ago, so maybe he has changed his tune with the constant influx of new data. Let's see. Oh boy...Did Garrett get to see Trump on January 6th? Surely there was no Covid there since Trump is vaccinated (and, as recently reported, BOOSTED too!). Well, I guess this is pretty clear. If you take the J&J vaccine you turn into a character from The Goonies! So, Sloth gets vaccinated AND gets to live with Chunk? Doesn't sound so bad to me! Truffle Shuffle time! I guess we're not supposed to share our vaccination status? Okay, that's not so bad but we're getting a good sense of his thinking. Let's keep chugging along. See what I mean? He really doesn't like Fords. Wait, I'm getting off topic already! How does Vaxman do this so well? I don't think Garrett was talking about diapers here, right? Ahhh! I get it! He doesn't want to wear masks! Silly me. I guess I'm just slow to understand Garrett's sense of humor. What a funny guy, right? I don't think he understands why the virus keeps spreading and mutating so that we need boosters. If only there were a way to stop spreading the virus...We already know he doesn't like diapers. Whoops, I mean, masks! I'm guessing that he didn't wear his mask on the job. Keep that in mind if you're in the Northeast and looking for a construction company to hire! He loves Trump and hates Biden. I'm shocked. (Can you hear my sarcasm?) Yes, he reminds us he is against vaccination requirements. I think he's established that pretty well so far. Okay...now THIS is just wrong. WHO DOES THAT? I guess nobody told him to get the vaccine, either. And oh yes, "Fuck sensitivity." Uh oh. Garrett is in the hospital. There's an update! Thank goodness she got the good parking spot! Oh wait, that's not the good news. Garrett is improving! Update 12/21/21 Uh oh....this is NOT looking good now. "his vent only sings its song when he coughs." Not sure that's "singing". A tracheotomy at the end of the week? Update (12/24/21): Well, it's not looking great, but Garrett is still hanging in there. Liz, you forgot to mention something...get vaccinated so nobody else has to go through this, too! Update 12/27/21: Garrett is still fighting and hanging in there. Funny how Liz comments on how stubborn Garrett is. Same could be said for her since she still refuses to mention vaccines or masks. Frustrating, right? Has she learned nothing or is it because she knows about SAV and is being indignant? Get better Garrett! You missed Christmas but maybe you'll be there for Easter! Update (1/11/22): Congratulations, Garrett and Liz. Garrett didn't die of this PREVENTABLE illness. Yes, you credit God but you really need to be praising science because THAT is what saved his life. Of course, at SAV, Vaxman and I NEVER want to cheer for the death of anyone and we really do wish that the sick will recover, see the vaccine as the miracle it is and encourage others to get vaccinated so nobody else will suffer. Now, since Liz has said ZERO about vaccines, I'm guessing that Garrett won't be changing his stance either. We'll see. Maybe I'm wrong. It'll be hard to find out since they've scrubbed their social media accounts. However, Garrett, if you change your mind and truly advocate for vaccines, I'll gladly update this post and maybe even remove it so that your name won't forever be associated with COVID-related stupidity. What a legacy, right? Anyways, Garrett, you're going home. I hope that the time away from your family, the upcoming battle towards a full recovery, and the overwhelming amount of medical debt you have coming your way were worth it. Good luck. I don't mean that sarcastically. You're going to need it. At least you have $25k in other people's hard-earned money which, I'm sure, is just a small drop in the bucket towards your looming debt. C'mon Garrett! We want you to make it for the kids! Note from Vaxxylady: Yes, I know I didn't include the link to the GoFundMe. Please don't comment on their FB pages or GoFundMe. I know that we're all frustrated beyond belief but Christmas is this week. This family, and many others, are struggling. We don't have any evidence that the rest of his family is anti-vax and I don't want to make assumptions. Let's not make their Christmas even worse than it's already going to be. I have a couple of different badges I'll be giving out. Maybe we'll keep giving them out this week since it's Christmas. Stay tuned to find out! Also, if you do go digging for info on Garrett or anyone else on SAV, KIDS ARE OFF LIMITS. Do not repost anything with pictures of kids. That's a hard line we don't cross here at SAV.
