Rightwing radio host and anti-vaxxer dies of Covid — Guardian US

I pray for the repose of his soul. St Francis, pray for us!
People are free to make their own choices regarding the vaccine, and he made his. I feel bad for his family in that regard. I hope all people look at their personal circumstances and make the best informed decision they can.
That said... for the people who have an audience (which happens to be in Florida), and are spouting conspiracy nonsense regarding the vaccine and encouraging others not to take it? Karma indeed.

You've fallen victim to the groupthink and the dehumanization the politicians and media have pushed on the American people. This was their goal, to pit Americans against Americans.
Wanting people to get vaccinated so less people die is dehumanizing? What?

This makes no sense lol. Just a bunch of words scrambled together. If he got vaccinated hes likely alive today.

Yes wishing he was alive is very dehumanizing. I need to watch out for the groupthink.
Way to twist the topic. It's dehumanizing to say "karma" or speak ill of the dead because he chose not to get a medical procedure.
You guys will never get what's going on. I feel bad for you.
Twist the topic? You chose the word to dehumanizing which honestly was an odd choice of words from you considering your views on how many lives were lost to Covid.
Again. He made the choice... the wrong one, but that it is choice. I'm not speaking ill of him because he chose not to get it.
I'm speaking ill of him because he had megaphone and he was trying to influence others based on conspiracy theories. He was a part of the anti-vaccine echo chamber which is why people believe these vaccines have magnetic tracking chips in them and part of why so many people chose against getting the vaccine and are now hospitalized.
Really, a man that peddles in lies which convinced who knows how many not to get the vaccine and how many of those that were persuaded by him who then got severely sick or killed by CoVid, gets struck down by CoVid. Well, am I supposed to feel sorry for someone like that? I don't.
Shu09. - You hypocrite. Aren’t you the one that said people that don’t get vaccinated live with the consequences? It’s their choice? Aren't those your words? Yet you now say it is dehumanizing to say karma. What a joke you are.

Indeed they can... and I feel bad for any of them that listed to that guy.
In my opinion, when you have an audience, your words can be impactful and they matter. Is he solely to blame for anyone listening to his bad advice? No, but he was absolutely part of the problem.
Yes, they assume the risk. That doesn't mean you disregard them to the trash heap if they pass away. Show some humanity.
You've shown what you're all about. No going back now.
A big remaining issue in NYCis that 70% of blacks not vaccinated.Don’t know if VPHarris campaign statement that she wouldn’t trust a vaccine developed by Trump is impacting this numberAfter all she suggested Biden stance on busing was racist and she believed the woman who accused Biden of raping her.When asked how she could be Biden’s running mate she said that was only campaign stuff.Ever since the WW2 experiments blacks with reason have been suspicious of vaccines,let’s hope that will change.
. I didn’t disregard him. I’m just not feeling sorry for him. Ah. you and Pirata just don’t know what karma means.
Webster. FYI. Definition of karma
1 often capitalized : the force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence
Each individual is born with karma, the residual from past lives that must be resolved …
— Diane Goldner
broadly : such a force considered as affecting the events of one's life
Claude says, "You reap what you sow." I call this idea karma, that what goes around comes around.

sad world we live in when we are rooting against each other all the time.
I hope anti vaxxers wouldn’t say the same about the few people that died from the J&J blood clots

Anyone who makes their decision on the vaccine based on what a politician says is not a thoughtful person.
Just like smokers who die from cancer and overweight people that die from heart disease. Karma, right?
Not quite because that takes years of abuse. Moreover, Those people hurt no one else but themselves and their families. Unlike this radio guy who espoused lies on the radio who hurt many people by perpetuating a lie about the vaccine. That is the definition of karma. SpK you should know better than that.
If they are promoting conspiracy theories to their radio audience regarding those issues, yes exactly...
A man choosing not to take a vaccine affects nobody but himself and his risk level.
I don't need a lesson on the definition.
It was nasty of you to say that upon someone death. Don't try to spin it otherwise.
Yeah, I get it that he spouted off with the wild anti-vax theories. Nonetheless, just keep those kind of thoughts to yourself. Death is final. The guy is dead. Don't gloat. If you gonna gloat, keep it yourself. Don't feel happy that he is dead.
I pray your Karma does come back to bite your ass.
Sorry, not buying this B/S, it’s the same karma you espouse for all. And it’s just not for me, even though this guy was wrong/an idiot, I do not subscribe to your gleeful karma nonsense. Acknowledge his stupidity and mourn his loss.
Selective karma, SMH……
For the record, my original post was nothing about karma, rather truly “whoops”. No one deserves to die, but he realized too little too late and certain regretted his stance. Just dangerous he had an audience but it’s not like there won’t be another behind him ready to step into the rhetoric.
Again, I don’t think you do know the definition of Karma because that is the epitome of karma. He didn't keep his anti-vax nonsense to himself now did he? Did I gloat? Was I dancing on his grave? Did I do any of those things? No, A simple one word post of Karma. Those of you who are so offended are projecting your own views on to the post. What I posted is simple and it is true. So you, SPK and Shu09 with your faux outrage is quite laughable.
This guy is acting all high and mighty about the word karma while spreading similar conspiracy theories as the radio host did and not batting an eye about kids getting covid in schools. Gross.
Again, I know what Karma is. I am not arguing that this is not Karma. Your inability to grasp that is laughable.
If the guy's actions caused him to lose his job, call out the Karma. If his actions caused him to lose ratings, call out the Karma, etc.. The guy died. Yes it is Karma, but calling it out in this circumstance speaks volumes for your lack of decency.
Based on your posting I had come to expect a higher standard from you. Had the post come from, say, Bayonne, I would have ignored it.

It’s worse form to call out a poster who has passed away, IMO. I can only imagine you meant someone else as Ray seemed like a decent poster.
I think he was referring to the poster that has an obsession with brown shirts and boot licking....
So, you agree that it is Karma but you object to actually voicing it out loud solely because he died. Certainly, the post is not vulgar. Certainly the post is accurate. So let me get this right. It was an accurate, non-vulgar, nondiscriminatory post that you were offended by.
I wonder the same posters who are so offended with my karma post, would be at all offended if a person who called for the defunding of the police, then called the police during a burglary in which he was killed because there was not enough police to respond quickly enough. This too would be Karma. You are all just hypocrites.
Btw, isn't the Bible filled with the same sentiment? Proverbs 22:8 "Whoever sows injustice, will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail."
Never said I was offended. Those are your words.
What I said was the your post was sad and sick. I stand by that. You escalated from there.
As far as the burglar goes, yes, it too would be karma. I just would not shout it out to the world.
Nice Bible quote. I agree. I am also sure there is something in the Bible that says don't rub shit in peoples faces.
Nothing offends me. The above would be karma. Acknowledging the karma but not mourning his loss is sad. That's just me.
Is wearing revealing clothes and then getting raped karma too? Would seem to fit your definition.
No. That does not match any definition of Karma.
Karma is based on putting something bad out into the world, and then the world giving it back.
Wearing revealing clothing is not putting something bad out into the world.
