- Lori Kornfeld-Kramer, Ottsville, PA, Anti-vaxxer, Husband & Mother Died from Covid
I'm so sorry that I could only share one story last week. There are just not enough hours in a day. Facebook shut down our latest HCAss page, but we continue to come right back and rebuild. I have to find an easier way to get all of our stories on here. A follower tried helping us, but that option didn't work. If anyone can think of a way to easily get our FB stories on SAV, let us know. Enough about that. Let's get to why all you fine people are here. Meet Lori Kornfeld-Kramer and her 66-year-old husband, Jack Kramer. Lori did all the FAing, and Jack and her mother will be the ones finding out. Jump to comments. We'll start off during the summer of 2021. We'll move into some irony. You have to live through it first, Lori. She's going to have a few missing people at Christmas dinner. Six weeks later. Sadly, Lori’s 87-year-old mother, Inge Kornfeld passed away. We’ll get confirmation of COVID in a bit. Two days later, Lori's 66-year-old husband Jack passed away. She admitted COVID on this one. The story doesn't end here. One month later. She's back to her shenanigans. Zero lessons learned. She lost me at Dan Bongino. What do we have here? Crimes against humanity? The hospital protocol kills group got ahold of Lori. 🤬🤬 Last week, Lori attended the hospital protocol rally in Texas. You'll see a familiar anti-vaxxer, Stacy Ograyensek, whom we featured last year. It must be a lot easier to blame others than deal with the fact you made a HUGE mistake. I'll end it with this post that Lori was tagged in. You'll recognize another fan favorite, Shari Snyder.

- Pastor Nathan Ridgeway Sr., 74, Religious Leader, Anti-vaxxer, Dead from COVID
Meet Pastor Nathan + Faye Ridgeway of Cleveland, TN. Pastor Nathan has been in ministry his entire life and started three churches. Religious leaders greatly influence their congregation and could have been a driving force in getting people vaccinated. So many did the complete opposite, and Pastor Nathan is one of them. Jump to comments. UPDATE: 3/26 - Thanks for sending us a note as I missed this. In 2006, child molestation charges against Pastor Nathan were dropped. I'll start with Pastor Nathan. He loves to sing for Jesus and is the one in the middle. He should be just fine when COVID finally pays a visit. Let's start here. This is Pastor Nathan's son Nate. They're all Trump Humpers. Here's a small compilation of Pastor Nathan's timeline. The typical stuff we always see - religious mumbo jumbo and politics mixed in with COVID misinformation. One last piece of advice from Pastor Nathan before we move on to his wife, Faye. Faye seemed to be antivax before it was even cool to be. Faye also has the typical anti-vaxxer Facebook feed. In 2020, she was really obsessed with hydroxychloroquine. It's funny how they all screamed this was the cure and then quietly moved on to horse dewormer. Imagine if Christians lived as Jesus did. I don't think they'd be Republicans. Some foreshadowing. Did she secretly get vaccinated and know how this would all play out? Ah, who am I kidding? Oh, Faye. If you only.....never mind. She’ll never get it. Four days later. That same day, she shared this. What happened to Hydroxychloroquine? Pastor Nathan has been hospitalized for a week now. Faye is still mum about her husband's situation. Is this really what's important to share right now, Faye? Some things should be kept secret, and #2 is one of them. 💩 That was a quick cat bounce. Music must help take his mind off things. One last sad update from Nate Jr. Pastor Nathan Ridgeway sadly passed and earned his Herman Cain Award. Not one mention of getting vaccinated. Faye still hasn't mentioned a word about her husband but shared this. 🤔 Five days later. She finally comes clean. Do you think she learned a lesson? I thought church ended after death. She's still sending messages from Nathan's account. It looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree. FreeDUMB! And Faye has learned nothing. 1.5 years after her husband’s death, and she’s still spewing this. I'll end with this. Some people just never learn.

- William "Ross" Hooker, 74, Fort Myers, FL, Proud Conservative, Anti-vaxxer, Dead from COVID
Ross Hooker lives and breathes his politics. Did his opinions and health decisions mix? I really hope not for his sake. Or his life might hit a sudden brake. Jump to comments. As you can see, Ross really loves fishing. A bit of whataboutism here... I'm pretty sure that spells TWAT. 🤷♀️ This comes from a guy who served four years in ROTC and was honorably discharged before any combat. I love me some good ole irony. Another one that never gets old. 🥱🥱 Now I am going to introduce you to the hero of this story. Blah blah blah. Grant is the antagonist to Sherry. I didn’t dwell much on him. He was just a yes man. Three words or less were all he could muster. Ok, maybe 5, if he was feeling up to it. Ross was on a roll with his antivax meme game. And then Ross calls Sherry for a showdown.... A few more. Again, coming from a guy who never served outside of ROTC. Sherry really tried. I can't forget this anti-vaxxer classic. Four days later. Wanda didn't think through her wording. Sadly, Ross didn't make it and earned his Herman Cain Award. Imagine your politics making it in your obituary. I guess it's fitting for a man who died because he believed all the right-wing COVID misinformation. You can always find more anti-vax stories on Facebook at Herman Cain Awardzz.
- Eddie Shehane, 48, Conroe, TX, Anti-vaxxer
I decided not to give away the ending and tell you stories like we do on HCA. This is my HCA partner's story, and I'll tell it the same way he did. Poor Eddie Shehane. Life just isn’t fair. Eddie was a lightweight contender compared to some of the heavyweight anti-vaxxers we feature. Unfortunately for him, the virus doesn’t discriminate. This is story is light on FA, but heavy on FO. Jump to comments. Eddie is 48 years old, married, and already has 10+ grandchildren plus a ton of step-grandchildren. They sure like to multiply in that family. Eddie has worked at Discount Tire for the last 30 years. Eddie really liked TikTok. I'll give you a small sample. I believe Eddie was hopeful at first. Then something happened. I think politics might have been what happened. Yep! It was politics. Trump Humper. ✅ Nope. Not me. Eddie is feeling jubilant. But, not for long. Eddie gives us this important message. This is Eddie's sister. She thinks he's an egg. Camo attire activated. Who knew Burger King had special healing powers? GoFundMe was activated. This is Eddie’s wife. Silly me, she did introduce herself. Sadly, Bubba didn't make it and earned his HCA. You can read his obituary here. The end.

- Bill Wight, 65, Arcadia, FL, Photographer, Dead from COVID
Bill is beloved by many in his community. He's a Trump Humper who proudly got his mom vaccinated but sadly didn’t do the same for himself. Bill seemed to be a good looking guy in his prime but quite rough in the end. Jump to comments here. This is Bill’s best friend, Mark. This photo and the call out in his obituary initially led me to believe they're partners. I later learned that Mark is married and they're just good friends. Let's start here. He's excited about the vaccine here and even touted his mom getting vaccinated. Like many other Trump Humpers, they all claimed to jump ship and move to Parlor. The move didn't last very long. These first amendment touters don't understand that private companies can do whatever they want. This is NOT an infringement of one's first amendment rights. I spy Bill. His friend Sheila is an RN. A nurse that doesn't believe in a mask. A few more posts before COVID hits. Uh oh. Sadly, Bill transitioned and earned his Herman Cain Award. The end.

- Carla (62) and Brandon Clint (62) Smith, Hogansville, GA, Died from COVID
Meet Carla “Houdini" Smith (62) and Brandon "Clint” Smith (62) of Hogansville, GA. Clint was an automotive mechanic, and Carla was a historian, photographer and artist. Carla researched and wrote local history books called Perspectives. During the summer of 2021, Carla and Clint came down with a bad case of COVID and were prescribed horse dewormer, Ivermectin. Jump to comments. Clint didn't seem to use FB often, but Carla "Houdini" left us a few clues. Carla's friend nancy thought this one was funny. I took a stroll down her FB feed. This is Nancy, and she seems to be dealing with long COVID. This is just fucking weird. Carla shared this on 7/27/21, and...... Four days later..... Here comes that one friend touting horse dewormer. Carla's doctor was already on top of it and prescribed it for her. Ellie is one of Carla's smart friends. I wonder why Bren never responded to this one? Sadly, both Carla and Clint passed away, just two days within each other. They were only 62 years old. You can always find more anti-vax stories on Facebook at Herman Cain Awardzz.
- Taren Tapp, 36, Dixon, KY, Anti-vaxxer, Dead from COVID
Let's meet Taren Tapp of Dixon, KY. She's a former substitute teacher, loved hunting and was married to Daniel Tapp. Finally, an anti-vaxxer that didn't reproduce like a rabbit. You can jump to comments here. This is the typical anti-vaxxer story, but what sparked my interest was the commentary between Taren and her friends. Taren works at Cracker Barrel, but in her spare time, she is an epidemiologist. She consults with other part-time epidemiologists to give you the low down on the COVID vaccine. She actually has an informed family member. She doesn’t want division but shares divisive misinformation. Her friend Erin really tried. Huh? Erin keeps plugging away at her. I admire her dedication. This premonition was so on point with this one. The annoying wannabe cowboy who records himself alone in his car. He must be an epidemiologist too? Taren doesn't have the echo chamber that we're used to seeing. Ah, what an amazing husband. Four days later. Cue Facebook Doctor Heather. And some advice from other friends was a bit more qualified. In hindsight, the concert wasn't a great idea. Her husband is now well enough to give us some updates. Yep, that concert was definitely a bad idea. Sadly, Taren didn't make it and earned her Herman Cain Award. You can read Taren's obituary here. A year later, Daniel Tapp tapped a Taren 2.0. I'll end it with this.

- Mike Jenkins, 45, Lakeland, FL, Paramedic, Dead from COVID
Let's meet Mike Jenkins of Lakeland, FL. Mike was only 45 years old and left behind five children. I don't know what happened in this guy's life that made him so angry at the world. I'll be nice and leave it at that. Jump to comments. Before we get to his antivax stance, I'll give you a small taste of his timeline. For someone who didn't want to get vaccinated, it seemed to consume him. For someone who was mentally over it, he sure talked a lot about it. On August 20th, he shared this. Two days later. COVID must be kicking in at this point. Five days later.... Two days later. Mike is dead. We searched but couldn't find an obituary, so I'll end it here. You can find more stories on Facebook at Herman Cain Awardzz.
- Jamie Kennedy, 49, Paintsville, KY, High School Football Coach + Health Teacher, Dead from COVID
I'm going to introduce you to Jamie Kennedy of Paintsville, KY. Jamie was a high school football coach and health teacher. He was happily married for 12 years to Mary Ann Kennedy and had three stepsons and a granddaughter. Life was good until... Jamie was really concerned about not wasting any of the time he had left here on earth. Jamie failed to realize that he would have gained many more years of living if he had taken a few easy precautions. Jump to comments. He's another Trump Humper ✔️ who was worried about losing his god-given gun rights. He started off the pandemic worried that the government was calling "wolf," which quickly led to him being worried about being forced to get vaccinated. Oh, Jamie. If you were only here to see how fitting this one is. A few more before we jump to his wife, Mary Ann. Unfortunately, Mary Ann had the same thoughts about COVID. Mary Ann had similar thoughts on COVID. Seventeen days after Mary Ann shared the DeSantis post, and two days after he turned 49, Jamie sadly passed away and earned his Herman Cain Award. His story even made the evening news. Two weeks after her husband's passing, Mary Ann wised up and got vaccinated. 👏 One year later. Jamie has officially been replaced with an exact replica. Not only do they look a lot alike, but he's also a football coach. Good for you, Mary Ann. I didn't intend to share another story with the spouse moving on, but that is what seems to be the trend when we find these older stories. If you don't want this to be you, get vaccinated and get your booster. You can always find us on Facebook at Herman Cain Awardzz.
- Robert West, 45, Delmar, DE, Anti-vaxxer, Dead from COVID
Let's meet Robert West and his wife, Dawn of Delmar, DE. Dawn is a licensed clinical professional counselor. I'll let Robert tell you a little bit more about himself. Let's start with all the stuff they shared in 2020. No surprises here. Where do you think they run to when the shit hits the fan? A church or a hospital? Ah, they celebrated their 6th anniversary. Rand Paul is another one who is responsible for a lot of anti-vaxxer COVID deaths. 😂 😂 😂 I'd be rich if I got $1 every time an antivaxxer shared this one. This was their "proof" that the vaccine didn't work. Here is where the fun begins. The very next day. He must be embarrassed to let everyone know the reason for his hospital visit If God is in control, then he must be teaching Robert a very important lesson. Robert goes dark, and his wife continues to update us. Code Red. Robert sadly didn't make it and earned his Herman Cain Award. The obituary claims it was just a "brief illness." Six months later. Dawn learned nothing. Fast forward to nine months after her husband's death. Who is Christopher? It's probably just a good friend? That seems like a lot more than just friends. Well, that escalated fast. 13 days later. I guess you move fast when you believe it's a sin to have sex before marriage. He's also uber-religious. I hope he's fully vaccinated. I'll end with taking one last look at the post Robert shared, just one day before he needed prayers. You can always find us on Facebook at Herman Cain Awardzz.
- Larry Keller, 73, Lititz, PA, Currently Hospitalized due to COVID
Let's meet Larry Keller. Larry seems to be mad at the world. He has a lot of thoughts on politics and seems to be consumed by it. Jump to comments. When he's not shitposting, he shares awesome photos like this. He should stick to photography and quit watching Fox News. Here's a compilation of just a few of his anti-vax posts. And in 2023, he's still shitposting. Then this happened. And then this. I hope you get better, Larry. We'll have to wait and see. Get vaccinated. You can always find us on Facebook at Herman Cain Awardzz.
- Waylon Cormier, 47, Sulphur, LA, Carpenter, Dead from COVID
Let me introduce you to Waylon + Wanda Cormier of Sulphur, LA. They've been married for 19 years and have three daughters and a grandson. Waylon is an avid fisherman and loves hunting. Waylon didn't leave us a lot of clues, but his wife Wanda left the trail. As we say at HCA, one of them FA, and the other one will FO. Jump to comments. They always seem to have an obsession with flags, guns and immigrants. They also always tout the 2020 antivaxxer favorite cure, Hydroxychloroquine. I don't even have to tell you which way they lean politically. I have yet to see one person that we've featured get upset at their political party for all the lies and misinformation they've been fed around COVID. Wanda seems to have gone down the "Q" rabbit hole. What is it about, Wanda? It is just a mask. It's one easy way to protect ourselves, and you couldn't even do that. Some more political crap. I have a bridge to sell you if you believe Trump cares one iota about praying or churches. Here's a compilation of the rest of 2020. Let’s move to 2021. They’re always the victims. It still shocks me that we had to do this. Everyone should have been begging to be vaccinated. They’ve even tainted their 25-year-old daughter. She shared this just one month before her father was hospitalized. A few more antivax memes before the prayer warriors are activated. Simone Gold, the woman who sold bogus COVID cures and then allegedly took all that $$, bought a $3.6M mansion with her underwear model boyfriend. She shared this on 8/19/21. Three days later. Prayer warriors are activated. Two days later. 47-year-old Waylon sadly passed away and earns his HCA. Wanda quickly changed her tune. I remember when she said, “it’s not about the masks.” Two months after his death. She's treating herself. A month later. Who is Jacob? 👀👀 Just three months after losing her husband of 19 years, she’s a committed woman. I hope he's vaccinated. I'll end it here. As always, get vaccinated. You can find us on Facebook at Herman Cain Awardzz.
- Lisa Erwin, 59, Malvern, AR, Vaxxed turned Anti-vaxxer, Dead from Covid
We've missed you! We're still telling stories over on Facebook, but they keep shutting down our page. They removed our last page because of a couple of screenshots that were posted months prior, so we ended up losing over a thousand stories. We've started our 5th Facebook page but I'm tired of losing all that hard work and good storytelling. We're going to do our best to share more stories here as I want them to last forever. Ok, enough of that. Let's get to the goods. Jump to comments. Meet Lisa Erwin. She's a registered medical assistant who's angry at the world. She's angry at Biden, gas prices, and the new student loan payback program. She's a Trump Humper who just never stops complaining. Lisa is different from most of our awardees in that she received her first two COVID vaccinations...but something changed along the way. We'll start in September 2020. She doesn't seem to have a lot of faith in America. We lose Trump and we'll turn into a 3rd world country. 🤷🏻♀️ Lisa's mother has cancer, so she does the right thing and gets her first two vaccinations. Do these people always jump right to asking for prayers with every runny nose or sore throat? She's still pro-vax. Three days later. Deflection! She had to make it very clear that she only got vaccinated to protect her mother. Blah, blah, blah. Here starts the switch. Covid finally makes its first appearance. Thanks to the vaccine, she lived through her first bout with COVID. Her political posts really ramped up during the summer of '22. Sure you don't, Lisa. For someone who claims they never get sick, she sure seems to get sick a lot. She wears it like a badge of honor. Her FB sentence didn't seem to last very long. 👀👀👀 She's well enough to continue shitposting. Here is where the fun begins. She's doubling down! Her last post to the world. 24 hours later, she passed away and earned her Herman Cain Award. Thanks, VaxMan, for continuing to let us share stories here. We're going to do our best to post a couple of stories a week. You can also always find us on Facebook at Herman Cain Awardzz.
- Lynette "Diamond" Hardaway, 51, Right Wing Commentator, dead from..."unexpected"
According to everyone, Diamond of Diamond and Silk, the pro-Trump duo who claimed they'd never get a vaccine "made by Bill Gates" for population control, has died "unexpectedly". She got sick with a respiratory disease in November. We aren't sure what she died from, probably pneumonia, but we CAN get a copy of the death certificate to see if that informs us. I've requested a copy (uncertified as only family members can get certified copies). We'll see. This will be a short post as there is a lot of documentation online of her stance on COVID vaccines. But here is a sample for future generations: RIP Diamond.
- Steve Rose & Steve Rose, 36, 60, NC, SC, IT, Sales, unvaxxed, anti-vaxx, both in rehab from COVID
UPDATE(12/14/2022): Whelp, someone wrote in that Young Steve Rose died after all -- last April, about 3 months after he "corrected" my comments. It's pretty sad, as he was being told he'd be 90% in 3 months. His death is reported in this obituary: https://www.myleaderpaper.com/obituaries/steven-lee-rose-jr-37-festus/article_419dae9a-cb00-11ec-8544-e7de0b438441.html UPDATE(2/7/2022): Young Steve wrote, and I want to share with the community what he wrote, but I need to add a comment. See below Original Post with Edits (2/6/2022): EDIT: Young Steve Rose wrote to correct some inaccuracies concerning when he got COVID, when he starts rehab, and where he actually lives: A Rose by any other name wouldn't have COVID? These guys are unrelated except for their names, vaccine status, and the fact that both are currently in rehab because of COVID. While researching Steve Rose, 36, who was submitted to me on Twitter, I got really confused because there are actually two Steve Roses: one got COVID in October '21 (Steve60) and the other in November '21 (Steve36). The older Steve is in rehab and the younger Steve will be soon. Even more confusing is the fact that one lives in North Carolina (actually the younger Steve is from Missouri but has been living temporarily in South Carolina for work) and the other in South Carolina. I might as well cut two roses with one pruning shear. We'll call Steve Rose, 36, from Gastonia, NC (actually St Lous, Missouri) Steve36, and when discussing him text will be blue, and we'll call Steve Rose, 60, from Conway, SC Steve60, and when discussing him text will be red. Now I can't find much that indicates Steve36 was more than "slightly" anti-vaxx, with only a couple of posts stating his plans to remain unvaxxed, but in the end he has some wisdom to share which is why he's being included here. Steve60, on the other hand, was certainly anti-vaxx, and has yet to share any lessons learned with his audience. Ok, let's start with Steve36 from Gastonia, NC. Already scared of the Vaxx in January 2021... I guess Steve36 is transgender? (This is a joke, people!) ^^^That's it. That's pretty much all Steve36 had to say about vaccines and COVID. Unfortunately, it didn't matter; he should've gotten vaccinated, as we'll see. For this reason, I declare Steve36 to be unvaxxed instead of anti-vaxx. Continued below. Now, let's see what Steve60 thought about his vaccine situation: Vaccines and masks and the dystopian world that follows, I guess: Steve60, poo-pooing the virus way back in September 2020: I don't get this logic at all. I'm trying to think of something I'd put in my body -- besides wine or Scotch -- that I'd rather have a 60 year old version than a new version. Ah, the Bell's palsy excuse. (I bet he'd trade Bell's palsy for his current situation.) Do we know if it was due to the vaccine? Three anti-vaxx talking points in one: Fauci, Gates, and "wake up". The copy pasta we keep seeing over and over from anti-vaxxers: The "it's not science it's promotional ads" talking point: I'm sure he'd like to take this back right about now: Steve60 could teach Steve36 how to be a real anti-vaxxer. Must come with age: All right, let's see what happened next with the Steves. First, Steve36: and Steve60: Here's a video news story featuring Steve36 a couple of days ago (he tells people to get "the shot") Here's a video of Steve60 a couple of days ago: Moral of this story? At least Steve36 told his audience "It's not worth it not to get the shot". We're waiting on a similar statement from Steve60. Don't be like Steve Rose. Get vaccinated. -----------UPDATE----------- UPDATE (2/7/22): Steve36 wrote me and wants to clear the air. He also had a very interesting exchange, below. Most of the comments I've seen are supportive of Steve36, as they should be. This is about getting others not to make the same mistakes he did, and he's willing to help: I was scared. I was busy running a business. My posts were, some were humor. Others were presenting the other side of the proverbial fence that I sat on. I got my shot last Tuesday. Back in April on vacation, I even drove my friends son to get his shot. This person is absolutely over the top. I would be scared of whoever published this. From my news story to my personal fundraiser, I have made two points to try to spread awareness. 1. This stuff is real. 2. It can kill you. 3. It can bankrupt you. 4. Get the shot. It's not worth it. "beat the covid the first 3 or 4 days. It was the pneumonia that took me all the way down. There is so much false info here, I don't know how to handle it. It was November, not October. I have medical insurance. Nobody is paying for this but them and my family and I. I'm also not in rehab yet. Some fool even thought it was drug rehab I'm going too? Wtf. Trans gender because I made a joke about vaginas ?? I'm the one that's full of hate, because I used the word "special" instead of some new acronyms I know nothing about, yet you are judging people and wishing death on people?! I'm trying to be patient and cool with this. But this is over the top. If you let me in the community to comment, and maybe remove the false info, wrong dates etc. I'll be happy to answer each comment. I'm sorry this happened. They gave me a 4% chance to live, boss. So fuck all of that hate. I am not anti-vaxxer. Never was. I got the shot. I actually saw a doctor who told me my test was negative and prescribed me antibiotics for bronchitis. She wouldn't give me the shot because I was already sick. So I was late to the race. I always presented both sides of the fence of fear that I was sitting on. I was just talking about the Tuskegee Syphilis study last night with my wife. The CDC was involved in that. Surely you can understand the fear. But when I was ready, I was denied a shot because of misdiagnosis. I also don't live in Gastonia. I'm from Missouri. I have my rig parked around Gastonia where my mom lives. I travel around doing data cabling,.CCTV, Security systems, access controls etc etc. I have a good college degree and I don't fuck my sister (she died in 2011 at 32), and I don't have a vagina.. I'm making excellent progress, and getting into an accelerated rehab center. 3 hours a day. I have good insurance. They are covering me 100%. I am just a.bit short on the $3k deductible. I'm. Not begging and I'm spending awareness. So all of this hate and bushit needs to atop.at least on my story. The progress I've made in the short two weeks I've been awake, the doctors, news and nurses are calling it a literal miracle. I'm a bit humble and that's hard for me to absorb. My doctor and all the medical staff here at UNC in Chapel hill have been amazing. They anticipate 30-90 days and I should be 90%. 6 months from now and I should be 100% So let's do something productive here and remove it, correct it and let me respond etc. I don't have the energy to pursue this via other means, and I Don't think that would be fair without an attempt to settle this. I did remove "special" from that terrible picture of me. I apologize if that word is offensive. I stay pretty busy and thought that was more PC than retarded or such, even though that is an actual diagnosis.. I want no part in any politicization of this. You can think, feel, speak and be different than me. I don't care. I'll accept you. Come as you are. Get yo shot! Thank you. Have a great day -Steve Rose (36)" Vaxman's Comments on this: First, thank you for the corrections, most of which are minor, like the fact that you got COVID in November rather than October, and that you live temporarily in Gastonia, NC. I've corrected those errors in the main text. Second, I have to comment on your statement, beat the covid the first 3 or 4 days. It was the pneumonia that took me all the way down. As we know, this is how COVID kills people. Every person on this site died of either Pneumonia or blood clots. You were sick BECAUSE of COVID though, so please don't say it wasn't COVID, or that you got rid of the virus but it caused a chain of events that you almost lost your life over. Third, my "transgender" comment was a joke about your "vagina" joke. I thought both jokes were obvious (some people are humorless, sorry about that), but what wasn't a joke was your apparent plan to remain unvaxxed. Finally, congratulations on beating this thing. You're young and strong and will definitely heal. I think most of the SAV community is proud of your new vaccine stance and wishing you the best on your recovery. Those who aren't, it's not personal; there is just a war on science and expertise going on, and you even admit that you were duped by all of the misinformation, yourself. Thanks again, Steve, for your honesty and bravery coming here and telling your story. Good luck in your recovery, and a special thanks for spreading the word about getting vaccinated. Vax
- Dr. Simone Gold, 56. Anti-vax doctor. Founder of America's Frontline Doctors, Sued.
By now we've all heard of the America's Frontline Doctors. Many of those featured on SAV have been victims of the group's misinformation. The AFLD were early proponents of the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine as treatments for Covid. Despite multiple studies debunking the claims made by AFLD, they maintain their standpoint. There was a good story from Time Magazine that describes the damage that AFLD caused, not just to their patient's health but financially, also. It seems that Dr. Simone Gold's time to shine is quickly fading. In September she was released two weeks early from a Miami prison. She was fined $9500 and sentenced to 60 days for misdemeanor trespassing at the US Capitol while participating in the Jan 6th insurrection. She will be on supervised release for one year. Her boyfriend, John Strand, was also convicted and is facing a possible $250,000 fine and up to 20 years in prison. Her legal troubles are far from over, however. She is now being sued by the America's Frontline Doctors, the very group she founded. According to multiple reports, Gold misappropriated funds from the group. She is accused of lavish spending on a $3.6 million dollar mansion, private jets, private security, several luxury vehicles, and gifts for her underwear model boyfriend. Her Facebook page has mostly been scrubbed but she's still very active on Twitter. Let's see a few of her more recent tweets: She feels that she's under attack and will not be silenced! Well, yes, Dr. Fauci DID say this in an email. According to an article from USA Today, "Responding to questions about the Feb. 5 email during a June 3 appearance on CNN, Fauci said his understanding changed as more information became available about asymptomatic transmission of the virus and the effectiveness of masks outside of hospitals. Fauci and public health agencies have updated their guidance on masks and other mitigation measures as scientists learned more about how COVID-19 works and spreads." That's how Dr. Fauci and Dr. Gold differ. As Fauci learned more about this virus he changed his statement. She thinks Dr. Fauci is a "real danger." Laughable, huh? I don't think there's anything funny about this. Well, according to Johns Hopkins, the Covid virus, NOT the vaccine, is what is causing blood clots. Panagis Galiatsatos, who treats Covid patients and is a specialist in lung diseases and critical care medicine, said, “In some people with COVID-19, we’re seeing a massive inflammatory response, the cytokine storm that raises clotting factors in the blood.” Heart.org published an article from Michael Merschel of the American Heart Association News. He writes, "People who got COVID-19 had a higher risk of dangerous blood clots for close to a year later, according to a large new study on the aftereffects of a SARS-CoV-2 infection during the period before vaccines became available. As seen in previous studies, COVID-19 was linked to a sharply increased risk of blood clot-related issues – including heart attack and stroke – immediately after diagnosis compared to people who never had COVID-19. But the new study found that risk remained higher for some problems up to 49 weeks later. At that point, the risk of deep vein thrombosis – clots that form in large veins – was nearly double in people who'd had COVID-19 compared to those who had not, according to the study published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation." I don't think they are winning the war. Don't even get me started on Dr. McCullough (threatened with revocation of his medical credentials), Dr. Stella (who said gyno problems are caused by having sex dreams with demons and witches, and that modern medicine uses alien DNA), and Dr. Malone (banned by the New England Journal of Medicine). They've been mentioned on this site too many times already! Speaking of freedom, I wonder if she'll lose hers again. If she is convicted of misappropriating millions of dollars she could be looking at a lengthy prison sentence! This story is still developing and we'll keep an eye on it. To our US readers, I hope that everyone had a safe and Covid-free Thanksgiving!
- Fritz Larsen, 50, Wind Point, WI. Welder, Dead of Covid.
This submission was sent to us by someone who knew Fritz. The submitter said: "This otherwise healthy middle aged guy I know died of covid with antivax memes all over his page on facebook. He was especially angry about Biden and covid protocols." According to this obituary Fritz died on October 8, 2021 at the age of 50. Fritz was a self-proclaimed metrosexual who loved cats, snakes, motorcycles, high end designers, colognes, and watches. Fritz sure didn't post a lot, but the few things he did post made it pretty clear where he stood on Covid. Covid's a hoax but he's not afraid. We've seen this one so many times before. This one is new to me. Look at the arm band. It says Pfizer. He respected Cole Beasley. Fuck YOUR feelings! This is an interesting song...and he dedicated it to all of the lib-tards who hate his posts. RIP Fritz The holidays are approaching quickly. Remember to protect your loved ones by getting vaccinated and boosted! Update to the story: He's still gone but one of our SAV readers found some more posts about Fritz. Christina posted this on October 8th, the same day that Fritz passed away. She didn't mention any names. Two days later, another post from Christina saying her cousin, Fritz, was gone. Here's another post from one of his friends:
- Cheryl Salem, 65 of Salem Family Ministries, Cathedral City, CA. Promoting Covid "protocols."
Cheryl's husband, Harry, was hospitalized with Covid. She posted many updates as he fought for his life. (Click here to jump to the comments) "The demon spirit of Covid is Qeteb. It's a counterfeit spirit of demon death breath." He took a turn for the worse. Here, Cheryl and other parishioners gathered outside the hospital to show support for Harry. Cheryl stood in a convertible waving the Sword of the Spirit (a literal sword!) Then they were going to circle the hospital seven times. She put the sword down and held up Harry's Bible. "The war continues to rage." They went back to the hospital and someone stood outside and blew a horn. Click below if you want to hear 43 seconds of the "sound of war." I'm sure that was really helpful for the other patients who were trying to rest. If the horn doesn't work, maybe waving some flags will help. I guess they worked because Harry was finally able to make it home. He's home but the road to recovery seems rough. Cheryl promoted the "treatment protocol" from Dr. Don Colbert and Dr. Richard Bartlett. It includes inhaled steroids and Ivermectin. She claims this protocol saved Harry's life. She also discusses how to DEMAND the protocols from doctors. She adds this disclaimer and instructions on how to follow the protocols. Once again she declares that she believes this is a "demonic stronghold virus named Qeteb" and "evil people cooked this demonic potion up." She may have added a her own disclaimer but she should have included some REAL information about the "Toxic Effects from Ivermectin Use Associated with Prevention and Treatment of Covid-19." Don't take my word for it, this is from the New England Journal of Medicine which cites 26 other articles. In the comments of her YouTube video she shared the link to buy her Pray bracelet. I'm sure that helps...her pocketbook. Christine and Kathleen got their Pray bracelets! Order yours today! Who are the doctors behind these protocols? First, there's Dr. Don Colbert who received the following warning letter from the FTC regarding "Unsubstantiated Claims for Coronavirus Prevention or Treatment." In this article from CNN he was quoted as a "divine health expert" saying that vaccines cause autism (they don't.) I wonder if Cheryl knew that before telling their parishioners to follow his protocol. The other doctor from Cheryl's video, Dr. Richard Bartlett, claimed that inhaling the steroid Budesonide cured 100% of his patients with Covid. He shared that information with Senator Ted Cruz. There has been no proof of these claims. (Fact check here and here) She also shared the same "protocol" on the Salem Family Ministries Facebook page which was shared 44 times. In the comments, Mary sounds reasonable but got laughing emojis and Salem Family Ministries said the FDA doesn't have our best interest at heart. In this video from their YouTube channel she says, "I know one thing, the Spirit, the demonic force Qeteb will not be taken care of by a vaccine. PRAYER is what it takes to get rid of demonic forces." Remember, earlier she said that she believes this (Covid) is a "demonic stronghold virus named Qeteb" Here's another video where she says she was lied to by the doctors at Eisenhower hospital and that she is DEMANDING that her husband, who was in critical condition, be given Budesonide in a nebulizer. She called Dr. Bartlett and Dr. Colbert "Covid specialist doctors." They aren't. Here's a Facebook post about her battle with the doctors to get Harry the Budesonide. If you do a quick search on their Facebook page you can see many prayer requests from people who have Covid. What happened to those protocols she was promoting? Did they not work? That's about all regarding Cheryl and Covid. Here's a bit more to give you a better picture of who she is. In this video from December of 2021 titled "I know when the Antichrist will be revealed" she says that we could see the coming of the Lord and the rapture of the bride church before the new year on God's calendar next September. I guess her prediction was a bit off. She spent a couple minutes hawking her jewelry and updating everyone on Harry's continued healing from Covid. He has scarring in his lungs and isn't able to get back on the road to preach yet. She saw her first angel in 1982. You can hear her story or order her book about it. In addition to her book their website has a wide selection of items to choose from: Be sure to check out Cheryl's line of Christian jewelry: If jewelry isn't your thing, you can purchase their School of Worship digital download for a cool $75. If you're into music, you can choose one of Cheryl's CDs. There's something for everyone! Here's something interesting...Cheryl was Miss Mississippi and was crowned Miss America in 1980. And if you have ambitions of also being Miss America, she can help you, too! Harry barely survived his bout with Covid. Cheryl credits God and the unfounded protocols from Dr. Don Colbert and Dr. Richard Bartlett. It still seems like a vaccine would have saved them a lot of time, effort, and pain. Congratulations on winning the battle with Covid, Harry. Cheryl, I hope you and more members of your congregation don't suffer a similar fate. Please consider getting vaccinated and protecting one another. Personal note: I just went through Hurricane Nicole. We took a direct hit so that's why there hasn't been a post in a while. We're safe but cleanup has been ongoing. Power and internet are back, obviously, but it's been an exhausting week. Mother Nature is a force to be reckoned with! This was a Category 1; I can't imagine being in anything stronger, like Ian which just hit the other coast. I'm really grateful it wasn't worse and I'm thankful for our amazing friends and community. Be safe, SAVers and take care of one another! Get vaccinated and keep up on your boosters! Nov 15 Reminder: I know a lot of you are sharing articles about the election and such.

- Eric Barrera, 49, Farewell, TX, Unvaccinated, Dead from Covid
Eric Barrera's story is like most featured here. He's a hazmat technician and a Trump Humper who listened to antivax and political memes that ultimately cost him his life. The difference with Eric's story is the drama that happened after Eric passed away. Click here to jump to the comments Eric had a long-term girlfriend, five children and four grandchildren. I don't know why this is, but anti-vaxxers all seem to have the infamous shot showing off their catch of the day. He has all the usual suspects in his timeline: Trump admiration, Covid is the flu, Tucker Carlson, I'm-a-lion meme, communism, and it's all Dr. Fauci's fault. His farewell to Rush Limbaugh. 🤮 Trump hates wind turbines so Eric must dislike wind turbines. He seems to be a tad bit gullible if this video made him rethink his entire life. He also seemed to believe all the election shenanigans. In late August, Eric and his girlfriend Lisa were on an Alaska vacation. 10 days later. Unspoken prayers. In the meantime, Lisa is daydreaming about marriage. Eric pops back on FB with this. He seems to be missing his kids and grandchildren. Still no COVID confirmation. A few days later. Eric sadly passed away and earned his Herman Cain Award. Lisa is really torn up about losing her soulmate. Eric seemed to be really close with his adult children. In his obituary, they call out his girlfriend as his significant other. There will be some drama surrounding that in a bit. A GoFundMe for Lisa was started but it didn't seem to collect a lot. She's referenced using Eric's last name. Eight weeks after her soulmate passed, she updated her profile to this. Eric's daughter then shared this. 🍿🍷 Please don't troll his daughters as they have no antivax or political rhetoric. His daughter-in-law also shared this. Four months after Eric died. She's married! I hope he's vaccinated. As always, please get vaccinated. You can find us on Facebook at Herman Cain Awards. If we get booted again, you'll find us at Herman Cain Awardz or Herman Cain Awardss (our backup pages).
- Clyde Harvey Sr., 70, Biwabik, MN. Minister, In hospital, ventilated after Covid. (Update - died)
November 22, 2022: Click here to jump to the update: Full disclosure, I snagged this one from our friends at Herman Cain Awards on Facebook. If you're a Facebook user, give them a like! I couldn't pass it up. It's an anti-vaxx minister and I really have an issue with pastors using their influence to endanger their flock. He may live in Minnesota but he's the Lead Pastor at First Evangelical Covenant Church just across the border in Superior, Wisconsin. Calling all prayer warriors, Clyde is on a ventilator due to complications from Covid-19. Wait, does he have Covid or Cooties? In the early days of Covid he shared this post from his hero, Chuck Lamb. It says, "Maybe we don't need a vaccine, Maybe we need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world and have a personal revival..." He said, "DELETE ME" so he wouldn't be tracked for Covid contract tracing. Another post from way back… I wonder if Clyde still thinks this isn't a pandemic? He said to "Think about it..." I don't remember seeing this one before. He says "Good point" about mask mandates. He obviously is not a fan of masks... Check out the comment on that post from Howard. GO HOWARD!!! What a jokester!! Thankfully, he provided the correct answer. The unvaccinated will be vindicated!!!! Notice how the word deadly is in quotes? Maybe he should have read SAV because Covid CAN be deadly! He's certainly not having a great time of it if he's on a ventilator! A while back he had some health issues and reached out for help with a GoFundMe. I wonder if there will be another one after his bout with Covid. He didn't post a lot of political stuff but this post says ALL I need to know... NOT so funny. Period. Wonder what he did to get put into Facebook jail for 10 months!! At least he has a cool mug. This is just stupid. Finally, something Clyde and I can agree on! This is a story in progress. As much as I know you want to...leave his Facebook page alone or we won't see how his story progresses...or ends. Get better soon, Clyde! First update from November 3rd: Newest update from November 6th: Clyde is still hanging in there but still ventilated. We'll keep monitoring for updates. Unfortunately, Clyde didn't survive his fight with Covid. He passed away on November 18th. RIP Clyde
