We have a guy who owns a restaurant here in my town. Anti-masker, anti-vaxxer. He started having run-ins with the city when COVID started. Wouldn’t close down indoor dining, wouldn’t require his workers or customers to wear masks, then extended his outdoor dining to block the sidewalk so pedestrians couldn’t walk by, and into others’ property. No one can tell HIM what to do.  Thus started a long legal battle with the city (still ongoing). Then he decided to run for mayor. Lost big-time. No one, except maybe a few loyal friends/customers and anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers, likes him. Now he is in the hospital and almost died of COVID. Has he changed his tune? Shown some regret? Maybe he encourages masks and vaccines now? Nope. He is blaming stress caused by the city suing him for his COVID.  Even fewer people like him now. Honestly, I don’t know how that place of his stays open. I guess lots of people aren't on social media.  |

So this is long, sorry, but two articles... Now they are refusing blood transfusions, calling them tainted blood if the donor has had the Covid vaccine!! While the antibodies that are produced by the stimulated immune system in response to vaccination are found throughout the bloodstream, the actual vaccine components are not," Jessa Merrill, the Red Cross director of biomedical communications, said in an email. *** With nearly 60% of the eligible U.S. population fully vaccinated, most of the nation's blood supply is now coming from donors who have been inoculated, experts said. That's led some patients who are skeptical of the shots to demand transfusions only from the unvaccinated, an option blood centers insist is neither medically sound nor operationally feasible. *** In addition, outside of research studies, blood centers in the U.S. don't retain data noting whether donors have been infected with or vaccinated against covid, and there's no federal requirement that collected blood products be identified in that manner. www.rawstory.com/blood-transfusion/*** No transfusions but the monoclonal anti-bodies are good?!? Even with this set up, no vaccines allowed.. Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, overseeing the worst COVID performance of any state currently, on Monday announced he is turning an 85-year old sports stadium that can seat as many as 65,000 people into a site offering COVID-19 antibody treatment for up to 320 people per day. *** So yeah, they're vaccinated. That's great," DeSantis said Monday of the elderly population. "That was the right thing to do. I do think it reduced for at least a few months the number of infections in nursing homes. But it's not just Florida, you're seeing now more people are testing positive. So then what do you do?" www.rawstory.com/desantis-turns-citrus-bowl-stadium-into-site-offering-antibody-treatment-but-no-vaccines/REMEMBER if you get the vaccine you probably WILL NOT NEED MAJOR TREATMENT if/when you do get Covid!! |

They left 2 teenage kids... Martin and Trina Daniel, married for over 20 years, both died of COVID-19 within hours of each other, leaving behind two teenage children facing an unimaginable loss," reported Emily Shapiro. "The Daniels met at Savannah State University in the 1990s before Martin Daniel headed to Tuskegee University in Alabama for graduate school." The report noted that 53-year-old Martin and 49-year-old Trina contracted COVID-19 in June, and nephew Cornelius Daniel told ABC News that they "were hesitant to get vaccinated in part due to the legacy of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which charted syphilis progression in unknowing Black men from the 1930s to the 1970s." www.rawstory.com/19-2654699543/ |

If they're not getting blood transfusions and those are necessary for their life then fine. Save the blood for someone else who needs it and wants to live. |

We have one answer to DeSantis and Regeneron...... Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has been touting a COVID-19 antibody treatment known as Regeneron while downplaying the importance of vaccines — and waging war against mask mandates. *** As it turns out, DeSantis' No. 1 political donor has invested nearly $16 million in shares of Regeneron Pharmaceutical, the maker of the monoclonal antibody treatment.The Sentinel reports that Ken Griffin, the CEO of Chicago-based hedge fund Citadel, has donated $10.75 million to a political committee that supports DeSantis. Meanwhile, Citadel has $15.9 million in shares of Regeneron Pharmaceutical, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. *** Regeneron treatment costs the federal government (me, that's us, the taxpayers!!) more than $1,000, while a vaccine costs about $25.www.rawstory.com/desantis-top-donor-has-invested-millions-in-antibody-treatment-he-s-been-promoting/Whole lot more at link!!!!! |

How are really sick people supposed to be getting to these mass antibody centers? I surely couldn’t drive anywhere when I had Covid. There was a timeframe I couldn’t get downstairs let alone across town. I’m glad treatments are being developed and helping people, but prevention still should also be a priority!

As a reporter just stated... "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"DeSantis getting defensive about the information out there about the stock issues discussed up-thread. There is not documented reporting that says individuals have to pay for the Regeneron. But he neglects to understand that when the Federal Government is paying that means we, the taxpayers, are paying the $1000 not the $25 for the vaccine because of his NEGLECT!!!... Gov. Ron DeSantis himself, during a Wednesday news conference in Pembroke Pines, suggested a nefarious motive behind the report. “It's important to point out because there's so much nonsense that gets put out there — there's a lot of misinformation put out, unfortunately, by a lot of corporate press: This treatment for patients is free. You come in and you get it," the governor said. *** Don't let anyone tell you that you're going to be charged thousands of dollars. That is a lie. That is a lie that is being disseminated for political purposes to try to dissuade people from seeking life-saving treatment. And, honestly, that's reprehensible." *** The AP did report: “A Regeneron treatment costs more than $1,000, while a vaccine costs about $25." AP also reported: “The federal government is paying for the monoclonal antibody treatments and patients aren't being charged for the antibody cocktail."www.rawstory.com/desantis-goes-nuclear-on-news-report-about-19-therapy-he-s-promoting/ |

Then DeSantis offers a $1000 treatment to those who won’t take a $25 treatment. Small government conservatives, my ass |

I have a theory that it is all about fear (ironic, given the anti-vacc rhetoric about not giving in to fear). But in reality, A LOT of people cope with fear through anger and denial. They cling to any statement that claims to be a "certainty" or anyone that can make them feel certain when there are too many unknowns. Furthermore, we know from basic neuropsychology that when anxiety rises in the amygdala, activity in the rest of the brain (all those thinking and reasoning parts!) is reduced. It's no surprise to me that all this adds up to a lot of people dealing with the fear and uncertainty of a pandemic by clinging to false ideas that are presented as irrefutable and then being unable to process other information when it is presented.
ETA: Dealing with fear through denial is really common is Christian circles also- the "everything is fine!!" mentality is strong, so again I'm not surprised it's this group of people that seems most prone to this behavior.
