“Thought I was immune as I’ve had it before,” Heatlie, who is unvaccinated, told the Times in a text message. “Then spent 13 hours in a warm truck traveling back from Wyoming with a friend who came down with it on the trip.”

Heatlie added that his wife, who is vaccinated, got infected with the coronavirus because of him.

I hope she gets well.

Well, at least this Elder guy isn’t a walking, talking incarnation of irony who – WAIT, WHAT?!

I’d call it Kharmic Justice, but Kharma is like gravity - what goes up, must come down. The scorn and derision these anti-vaxxers have rained down on science-following health providers and innoculated people is coming back to them like the ground rushing to meet a skydiver without a parachute. The virus offers no scorn - just disease and death. Only the (mentally) fit will survive.

Yeah, and the anti-vax/mask crowd have been begging for it.
Why would irony’s gods be so cruel as to say no?

This kinda undermines their entire gripe against Newsome, doesn’t it? Gov. Newsome was looking out for his State’s best interests. People like Heatie said “You’re a Dem. FU!” They organized a recall, and then came down with what their sworn enemy was trying to protect them from. So the recall they organized was because of what? Yes, karma is a bitch, but some people are just too stupid for karma to care.
