While discussing President Biden’s mandates last week, a regular caller to my SiriusXM, Linda from Virginia, called in.
Usually Linda talks politics, as she is someone who is out organizing rallies and door-knocking at election time. But she called now to tell us the terrible news that sister and her brother-in-law both recently became infected with Covid-19, because they refused to get vaccinated. Both very quickly were on ventilators and died, leaving what she described as a “mess” for their children and the rest of the family, not having written wills or made plans for others who depend on them.
“I’m real damned pissed,” she said.
Linda said her sister and her husband were Trumpers in Florida who followed the lies of Governor Ron DeSantis and have now paid for it with their lives.
“She knew how I felt, she avoided the science, she followed the politicians — and now she is dead as they come,” Linda angrily said, stating she has no sympathy for her sister. “Sympathy is a word in the dictionary between shit and syphilis.”
Linda explained her feelings, and said she was sorry her sister is dead, but that this could have been prevented.
Listen in and let me know your thoughts.

Caller expressed the raw anger of the vaccinated
It is terrible. What a horrible story. It infuriates me to hear the awful repercussions of politicized pandemic disinformation in America. I watched a couple of videos of insane anti-mask people being hauled off airliners, and people rolling on the floor fighting at airports - that is it, no way am I going to fly with the fear of lunatics in airports and on board going crazy in mid-flight. And the insane GOP Governors… willfully ignorant. And it goes on and on… Michelangelo great show, but upsetting reality. Again I thank you for confronting the issues and problems we face with intelligence.
I'm so glad you posted this one. I've been talking about it since the other day. It's stunning...and cathartic. It synthesizes this moment in such a righteously angry way. Love it!
