Or, it couldn't happen to nicer people.

"A GOP official from Texas who regularly espoused anti-vaccine and
anti-mask views online has died from COVID-19, five days after posting a
meme on Facebook questioning the wisdom of getting inoculated against
COVID. His wife was also infected, the family said.
The family of a Florida woman who refused the COVID vaccine and died in
June still refuses to get the jab. A Florida track coach who had
resisted calls by friends and colleagues to get vaccinated finally
agreed to make an appointment for his shots. However, he contracted
COVID a day or two before getting his first dose and died in the
hospital after slipping into a coma, leaving behind a wife and four
children.
Apley’s untimely passing comes as COVID skeptics across the country have
died or become extraordinarily sick after rejecting the constant calls
by public health officials to get vaccinated and mask up. In Nashville,
a right-wing radio host who repeatedly spread misinformation about the
virus and mocked the vaccine, is now hospitalized as he fights for his
life. A Brooklyn woman who called COVID a “fraud” died after rejecting
the vaccine in favor of natural supplements like zinc and Vitamin D.
In May, Apley posted an invitation for a “mask burning” being held at a
bar in Cincinnati, commenting, “I wish I lived in the area!” A couple of
weeks earlier, he posted a news article about giveaways and incentives
meant to encourage people to get vaccinated, writing, “Disgusting.”
Apley also railed against so-called vaccine passports, which restrict
high-risk activities, such as indoor dining, to the fully vaccinated.
Recently, he suggested that mask mandates in Germany were akin to
Nazism.
A conservative radio host in Tennessee, who repeatedly spread
misinformation about coronavirus and mocked vaccines but changed his
tune after falling seriously ill, was still fighting for his life on
Saturday, weeks after contracting the virus.
Phil Valentine, who hosts a talk radio show on 99.7 WWTN-FM in
Nashville, is hospitalized and is receiving supplemental oxygen while in
critical care battling COVID pneumonia, his family said in a statement
Friday.
