we have several positives here at work. Ironically 3 of our managers who sit in close quarters and who are huge conspiracy anti vaxxers are now positive.  I have had both shots, but I am still getting tested today. I am also getting the booster as soon as I can.

So the conclusion of this story is that mask mandates (I.e. federal government control is necessary).  So sad the Dems/leftist MSM are making a political narrative out of this.

I was Googling around to find out more about the poor girl's death.  Just about everything I found was a cookie cutter story about the governor.  I could not find one bit of information about the details of her death, except that she started having breathing problems Saturday morning.  I suspect she had some underlying health problems.  Healthy 13 year olds don't normally succumb to anything so quickly.  Perhaps the details will come out later.

I know what you mean, I also could not find any additional information other than the "Mask Mandates Good" narrative.

I suspect you won't find the real underlying cause, because that won't work well with the underlying desire for this story.

I find it so frustrating to help people on this topic. I understand being skeptical of the establishment: scientific, medical, governmental, but at some point you have to wonder what is going through peoples heads.  

 

Last week I picked up the guy who helps with odd jobs around here:  He wasn't available for a few weeks and he told me why:  He lost his wife to Covid ( age 48) and it tore his family apart. Two over 18 kids and no one could go into the hospital to see her.  They firmly said no to the vaccine and no to testing for exposure. He claims, at like a Q-Anon level, that this is all a plan to control and herd people, the vaccines are untested, the tests have false positives.  It makes no rational sense and not matter what I try I still cannot get him to look at any other perspective.  They cannot have a service for the wife and cannot attend church. 

 

We pick him up from the bus stop and he will wear a mask, but the wife says no more rides mask or no. We cannot risk exposure and exposing our parents.

 

I just want to say to whomever is behind this anti vax conspiracy campaign:  "Blank you and the donkey you rode in on".  "What ever you think your goals are, your lies kill."

Yet it is ok for governors to herd Covid positive cases into care facilities and kill off a bunch of people.  If you want to know why people do not trust the government or the mainstream leftist media, it is not hard to see.

 The question is not why institution X or Y should be viewed skeptically, the question is why are people ignoring science and behaving against their own interests.

 

And this makes masking , vaccines and testing invalid how?  Is distrust of the government helping the man I described above or his family?  They already lost a wife and mother, do they have to pay a higher price from someone else's disinformation campaign?
 

This is not the war against Christmas or a battle over a baker making a cake for a gay wedding.  This is a real issue with life and death on the line, and now we see the Delta variant may be putting our children an their future at risk.   If you personally dont want to wear a mask, don't.  If you want to immigrate, or fly or work or go to school and dont think the vaccine is in your interest, use the exception process and file for an exemption, but dont go around telling people that they are sheeple, ignorant, dupes and putting their lives at risk with breathing CO2 from a mask or a virus that is latent in their body when the science specifically proves they are lies.

Healthy 13 year old's dont succumb quickly to what?  This Delta variant is ripping through the unvaccinated ( and vaccinated) parts of the country and we seriously don't know how this impacts young people.

Tsk, don't you know she killed herself really because pre-existing conditions that we don't even know exist is totally her fault. Totally 'normal' 'healthy' people don't die, it's just physically impossible. COVID only kills 'defective' people, you know.

 

Really... you are never going to reason with attitudes and denial like this.

Where did you find any information on the underlying health of this unfortunate girl or the timeline regarding the infection?  If you have something, please share it.

I am not sure anyone has suggested what you are inferring.  That being said, simply stating she was a healthy 8th grader is also irresponsible when it comes to understanding how this virus works just to push a political narrative.

You assume a political narrative was pushed. Information about this child is out there. She was a healthy and happy child that had just started school where she was exposed. There are thousands of children that are dead, thousands that are left with severe effects from the disease, and another 2000+ hospitalized right now.
