    Can we just acknowledge that you have a 99% chance to not die with covid-19 if you get it? The article doesn't mention this guy's age, but I'm assuming mid-40's? So the odds that he'd die from covid-19 were actually probably far less that 1%. He probably had every right to feel like the vaccine was not necessary for him, considering how few people in his age bracket actually die from the virus. 

    So, unfortunately for this guy - and I find this story pretty heartbreaking, to be honest, especially seeing him with his two boys - he was just as unlucky as the shark victim you talked about. But he could have got a covid vaccine and been hit by a car, or died in the line of duty, or from cancer and any way you slice it, the story would be just as sad as it is right now.

    Except that's mostly bullshit.  If he'd had been vaccinated and still died of Covid then he truly would be like a skydiver who has both main & reserve chutes fail or a swimmer killed by a shark.  Because vaccinated people very very rarely die of Covid.  No, this guy is more the guy that goes to Yellowstone and tries to put his cowboy hat on a Grizzly and gets killed by the bear, only to have people say, "Gosh!  How could he have known!"

     

    Again, I already pointed out it's terribly sad for the family.  But honestly how bad should anyone feel for the dumbass that could have taken a quick and easy shot yet preferred to die instead?  It's time to have to the guts to call these fuckers out.  If you refuse to the do the responsible thing and you die then you simply got what you could have reasonably expected to get.  Or in other words, fuck around and find out.

    You strike me as someone who takes pleasure in people dying from shark attacks because they shouldn't have been in the ocean? Glad these deaths give you pleasure - not so sure the guy's kids and wife find it as validating and amusing as you. 

     

    Meh.  In the USA you may have a right to be a fucking idiot but you're still obligated to suffer the consequences of it.  You don't seem to get it- in an average year maybe four or five people are killed by sharks but that many unvaccinated assholes die every few minutes. So getting killed by a shark is astonishingly bad luck while blowing off a vaccine and dying just makes you a dumbass.  And while I don't exactly celebrate it I can't really mourn it either.  If someone sticks a pistol in their mouth and pulls the trigger it's a waste but not really a tragedy so much as a choice.  Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Sorry but that's big boy rules.

    you said you were posting in 2013 

    I joined in 04 and read more than I posted.  Depending on what's going on I sometimes don't have a lot of time.  Plus it depends on what's going on in the music scene.  But I wrecked my shoulder at work and have been off for a while so I have time lately.:bananamac:
