She died rather than accepting a free to her, safe, and effective vaccine.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

No, it’s not. Organs are hard to come by and the courts have long held that organ donation networks can choose recipients based on the highest likelihood of success including vaccination status. She chose to die rather than getting a safe, effective vaccine. It was her right to make that choice but, like every choice we make, that choice had consequences.

MapleEngineer,

It isn’t the choice that I would have made but it was her choice to make.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

It became a matter of political identity. Rejecting Covid, the science, the vaccine, and the reasonable public health measures became more important to them that life itself.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes. Every choice we make has consequences. Some bigger than others.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I don’t see it that way. She was fed a diet of fear and hate and made an extremely bad choice. Her family is grieving because she made this ridiculous choice.

Willing to be cut open, have an organ removed, and replaced with an organ from a dead person but not willing to have a safe and effective vaccine because it became part of her political identity. I suspect that it was ego that prevented her from accepting the vaccine once she had made up her mind.

Dark.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m sure her family agree.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

True dat.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I think you mean trustworthy.

The government is more trustworthy than the people telling you the vaccine is dangerous.

I had a discussion with an anti-reality troll on Reddit who insisted that I would be dead within a year of taking the vaccine. He actually did a RemindMe! 1 year. That was more than 2 years ago and I never heard back from him. I wonder if he died?

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I mean…the reality is that 100% of people who get the covid vaccine are going to die after getting the vaccine. Some of them it will be almost 100 years after getting it but they’re all going to die.

MapleEngineer,

Yup. The courts have long held that being vaccinated can be a requirement of getting an organ transplant. Organs are hard to come by and they should go to the people who are going to listen to their doctor and do what needs to be done to keep that organ alive for a long time. If not, it should go to someone who will.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Definitely up.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Most definitely.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Yup.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I would never wish death on anyone or celebrate anyone’s senseless death and this death was truly senseless. I feel bad for her family.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Yup.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

She died from her own petulance.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I think this was more about petulance. She had made refusing the vaccine her hill to die on and nothing was going to dissuade her.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Nope.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Petulant

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

If you make being petulant your entire identity…

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Someone said, “If you disagree with the experts you don’t have a different opinion you’re just wrong.”

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, but she was a dumb, incredibly gullible adult who was fed a diet of lies by people who didn’t give a shit about her.

After I got the first dose of a covid vaccine, Astra-Zeneca, I posted on Facebook that I had gotten the vaccine and now have the autism. My friend who is autistic replied and said, “You had the autism before you got the vaccine!”

Oh. Right.

I’m Candian so I’m, OG A-Z M P P Omicron PBiV so far. I had the OG Covid back in December 2019 before it got cool and everyone started doing it.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I was hoping to turn into a magnetic monkey with 5G tracking chips. No such luck.

The best few minutes of the pandemic for me was watching my 15 year old autistic daughter disassemble and completely humiliate a reality-denying mid-50s angry man at a farmers market. It was glorious.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ve always taught my kids not to wish death on anyone and not to celebrate anyone’s death. You can think those things but never say them out loud.

There are a few people alive right now who will draw a smile when I hear that they have passed.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

She did several people a solid over the course of her senseless battle for the hill that she died on.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

It will be a fetid shithole of nonsense spewed by a number of people who speak with great authority about things they know nothing about and rights that they don’t have or don’t understand.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Nope. That’s why the courts allow transplant coordinators to require that you be vaccinated. This vaccine was so incredibly safe that it’s ridiculous that she chose to die rather than getting it. I mean, literally the worst thing that could have happened to her because she got the vaccine happened to her because she didn’t get the vaccine.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

It applies equally well to the tantrumists who blocked the border crossings and shit all over the street in downtown Ottawa.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I hear that.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

Yup. Literally the worst thing that could have happened to her had she taken the vaccine happened to her because she didn’t take the vaccine. Maybe they’ll put a monument to her on top of the hill that she chose to die on.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I believe that that man was made of straw.

It’s funny when the trolls come out to play and no one picks up what they’re putting down.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

THIS is the key point. She had made this her entire identity. When billions of doses had been administered to billions of people worldwide and none of them became magnetic, or sterile, or had tracking chips installed, or got 5G, or turned into monkeys and the world went on with life while she slowly killed herself while wailing about the injustice…she would rather die than admit that she was wrong.

@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ve had…4 different vaccines.

A-Z sore arm for a day and a splitting headache for two days. ASA resolved it.

M sore arm for three days and a mild headache. ASA resolved it.

P x 2 no appreciable sore arm and no headache.

PBiV - no appreciable sore arm and no headache.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

In the end, when it became clear to everyone that the vaccine was safe and effective she had made refusing her entire identity. She felt heroic. She just couldn’t bring herself to give up her crusade and slowly died because she was stubborn.

I think it’s really funny that no one is taking the bait. All of the responses have been simple, on point, and non-engaging. That’s how you deal with a troll.

@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

I have a background in chemistry. Early in the pandemic when all the anti-vax nonsense was at its peak I took a look at the ingredients in the three main vaccines in Canada (A-Z, M, and P). For the most part they all included:

mRNA which we all have in our bodies all the time

4 salts of which one was table salt

4 fats of which one was cholesterol

and sugar.

That’s it.

They like him because he says what they think.

Of course, they are drooling idiots.

B.C. urges co-operation in Shuswap as fire crews say they are facing 'threats and abuse' from defiant locals (bc.ctvnews.ca)

Thousands were ordered to flee, but some locals who refused to leave have taken the fight into their own hands, accusing the province of failing to provide enough resources and effectively abandoning them to protect their homes....

They are stealing gear from the fire fighters and making the situation worse. They are endangering professional and volunteer firefighters and other people’s lives and property.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca avatar

These people are dumb as fucking stumps. They’re stealing gear from the real fire fighters and endangering lives and property. I wish they would go back to cosplaying as soldiers and having angry circle jerks in each other’s basements while reciting their collective fantasy that they are going to overthrow the government and install a junta of white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, Nazis, and sovereign citizens and let the rest of us get on with the grown up work.
