I had a home on Cape Cod for 35 years, but sold it after Mr. Shaw Kenawe passed in 2017.
This story caught my eye:
Unvaccinated Trump supporter who spread coronavirus conspiracy theories dies of COVID-19
"On Tuesday, the Cape Cod Times reported that Linda Zuern, a former member of the Bourne, Massachusetts Board of Selectmen and a Trump-supporting figure in the local Republican Party, had died of COVID-19. Zuern died at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston of severe complications caused by COVID-19, according to the report. She was 70 years old and had not been vaccinated.
'She was a strong woman who believed in speaking the truth and defending our freedoms in America,' Republican State Committeewoman Deborah Dugan told the Cape Cod Times. Dugan was at Zuern's bedside when she died.
'I would describe her to people as a little woman but a mighty warrior." For months, Zuern, a member of the pro-Trump group the United Cape Patriots, had promoted conspiracy theories about the pandemic on Facebook. She has shared articles accusing the World Health Organization of a coverup of the 'Wuhan Virus' and claiming COVID-19 is cover for 'globalists' to usher in 'U.N. Agenda 2030' — a sustainable development initiative right-wing conspiracy theorists assert is a plot to create a one world government.
Zuern also expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, posting their creed of 'WWG1WGA" (Where We Go One, We Go All).' "
What's sad is her friends and family will treat her like a hero instead of an person who made poor decisions. She "Went All," that's for sure -- all the way to oblivion.
But, like so many other anti-vax, pro-Trumpers, she hung onto her anti-rational slogans to the very end, and lost her life because of them. She worked hard for the results she achieved and imposed onto others . It's doubtful she had any regrets.
Zealots never do.

I guess idiots deserve to die based on their poor decisions. I can't feel sorry for those who refuse to get vaccinated and then die from the disease.
It is exceedingly difficult to feel sorry for those who have no respect or concern for the life of other folks.
I cannot help but wonder HOW MANY OTHERS she infected with the virus before being hospitalized and dying.
Not all morons are zealots. But all zealots are morons.
Natural selection in action. She put her energy into activism that endangered others as well as herself. I feel zero sympathy.
One down, 71 million to go...

More about that unfortunate woman from the Cape Cod Times:
"She was often seen holding a Trump support poster as motorists drove by honking in support or against, said Adam Lange who founded the group in 2017. Lange was one of four people who protested last week in opposition to the state VaxBus program — which distributes COVID-19 vaccines — when it arrived in Provincetown.
Zuern’s Facebook account told a different story. She thought COVID was a global conspiracy. She was all in on the big lie, and she downplayed the January 6 insurrection."

"Republicans Are Killing Themselves With COVID 19 Lies
Linda Zuern didn’t have to die. Her family and friends could still have her around, but she chose to believe Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s lies instead of science.
She is an example of how Trump, Fox News, and many Republican officials are killing people with coronavirus misinformation."
