Natural Selection, alas

LA man who mocked COVID-19 vaccines dies of virusA California man who mocked COVID-19 vaccines on social media has died after a month-long battle with the virus. Stephen Harmon, a member of the Hillsong megachurch, had been a vocal opponent of vaccines, making a series of jokes about not having the vaccine.

Despite his struggle with the virus, Harmon still said he would reject being jabbed, saying his religious faith would protect him.

[Believing in a non-existence might feel comforting, but neither belief nor prayer has ever been incontrovertibly demonstrated to help with genuine problems. COVID-19 vaccines, on the other hand, have been demonstrated to reduce both rates of infection and -- in the reduced numbers who contract infection -- to reduce severity, need for hospitalization, and death.]
