Column: Mocking anti-vaxxers’ COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary
Reddit’s Herman Cain Covid ‘award’ is a depressing sign of our times
“The increasingly popular /r/HermanCainAward subreddit on Reddit.com is a distressingly predictable sign of America’s conflict-filled times. The subreddit, which now has upwards of 340,000 followers, “celebrates” those “who have made public declaration of their anti-mask, anti-vax, or Covid-hoax views,” only to die from Covid-19 or Covid-related complications. (It is named for Herman Cain, the former GOP presidential candidate and businessman who died from Covid-19 complications in 2020 after attending a Trump campaign rally in Oklahoma.)”

‘I tried to barter with God.’ Oklahoma family ravaged by COVID-19
“The Davis family had four generations to celebrate Father’s Day.
They had no idea an uninvited virus would ravage the family tree.
Fourteen family members went to lunch. Only two were vaccinated.
In the days following that Father’s Day lunch, eleven people tested positive for COVID-19 including nine who attended the lunch.
Twin brothers, Andrew and Taylor were not at the lunch on Father’s Day, but they were exposed at home.
They live with their mother, Deanna. The twins tested positive as well.
Eleven positive tests total.
Five family members were spared, including both of the vaccinated adults.
In those final moments, Steve Davis tried to barter with God.
“I told him, ‘Take my life to let her live.’”
Deanna Davis was 45 years old.
She died on the 4th of July, two weeks after Father’s Day.”

Ravages of COVID surge evident inside Missouri hospital
“OSAGE BEACH, Mo. (AP) — Daryl Barker was passionately against a COVID-19 vaccination, and so were his relatives. Then 10 of them got sick and Barker, at just 31, ended up in a Missouri intensive care unit fighting for his life.
With the Branson hospital maxed out with COVID-19 patients, doctors contacted a dozen hospitals in all corners of the state. All were at capacity. Lake Regional was nearly full, too, but Dr. Joe Sohal, a pulmonologist and critical care specialist, found a bed for Barker.”
