This is classic word salad. I’ve never seen a column twist itself into a pretzel to justify mocking those who have died of COVID who also happened to be unvaccinated. How about this? Maybe you just don’t. Liberals have an incessant need to lecture. It’s part of their moral superiority complex. They need to explain why they’re right. The irony being that they’re almost always wrong. No one really dwells on this subject, except the Left. It’s concern trolling at its worst and this op-ed from The LA Times is a clear MVP winner in that category. Liberals are not sad the unvaccinated are dead. They are happy. They love it, even though they’re the ones who are teeming with COVID now. The stigma associated with getting the virus is because of liberals. They made it a thing, and now they’re eating it. COVID is here to stay. It’s endemic. Everyone is going to catch it eventually, but it was liberal America who mocked the areas not dominated by them, which is most of the country, for having outbreaks. So, to cap off this crap sundae, here’s the piece where the author says mocking the unvaccinated dead is ghoulish but necessary:
My colleague Nicholas Goldberg recently lamented eloquently the rift in the social fabric that this species of callous commentary represents. “Mocking anti-vaxxers when they get sick has become a bit of a sport,” he wrote.
I have a slightly different take.
To begin with, let’s stipulate that not all people unvaccinated against COVID are alike. Some have remained unvaccinated for legitimate medical reasons — they may be children for whom the COVID vaccines haven’t yet been officially ruled safe, or people with genuine medical reasons for avoiding the vaccine.
