Just Desserts

There is a virus that is spreading across our country, and throughout the world which is much more dangerous and even deadly than Covid-19. That virus is the virus of evil. There is evil everywhere, and it manifests itself in a lot of different ways. Recently, a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist for Los Angeles Times, Michael Hiltzik said, that unvaccinated people who die from Covid-19 are “receiving their just desserts.” That statement is evil. A heart that could even entertain such a thought is completely taken over by evil. Wishing ill, and celebrating the death of somebody else because they happen to disagree with you on a certain issue, is evil. This person is so invested in being right about vaccines that he needs other people to die to prove that he is right. That type of thinking is not unique to this one person; it is widespread throughout our country and throughout the world. And it is evil.

Mr. Hiltzik cannot fall back on the argument that the unvaccinated are a threat to others, because the vaccinated can contract and spread the virus just as easy as the unvaccinated, so getting the vaccine does not make you safer out in public than someone who isn’t vaccinated. Are unvaccinated people hoping that the vaccinated start coming down with cancer, or neurological disorders, or heart conditions as a result of taking the vaccines just to prove they are right? Of course not. Would they celebrate if a person died from an adverse reaction to a vaccine? No. That would be evil. But some vaccinated people are hoping for, and even celebrating when an unvaccinated person dies from Covid.
