Man Dies From COVID After Being 'Brainwashed' Over Vaccines, Family Says
Ewan Palmer
A family have described their heartache after a 58-year-old man who had been "brainwashed" by anti-vaccine misinformation died from COVID-19.
Leslie Lawrenson died at his home in Bournemouth, South England, on July 2 after insisting that he does not need to take the vaccination to protect himself against the virus.
Lawrenson had posted videos on social media claiming that he would rather get infected with COVID in order to build "natural immunity" rather than take the shot.
His partner Amanda Mitchell, 56, who also became seriously ill with COVID at the same time, told BBC Radio 5 Live on Thursday that Lawrenson considered the vaccines too "experimental," meaning he died "unnecessarily."
"It was a daily thing that he said to us: 'You don't need to have it, you'll be fine, just be careful,'" Mitchell said.
"He said to me: 'It's a gene thing, an experimental thing. You're putting something in your body that hasn't been thoroughly tested.'
"Les was highly educated... so if he told me something, I tended to believe it."
She added: "Les made a terrible mistake and he's paid the ultimate price for that."
His stepdaughter Carla Hodges, 35, added: "[Leslie] was so brainwashed by the stuff that he was seeing on YouTube and social media.
"He said: 'A lot of people will die more from having the vaccine than getting COVID.'"
Lawrenson, who had no underlying health conditions, described his reluctance to take the COVID vaccine in a Facebook video he posted before testing positive, according to The Sun.
He said he wanted to get the antibodies from having COVID in his blood to get natural immunity and to "experience that it's nothing to be afraid of, no more than a normal cold."
He added: "So I know it sounds strange and I know some people might get upset by this, but I hope I've got it and I hope it is COVID. Because I would rather have antibodies in my blood than take the jabs."
Speaking to The Guardian in July, Hodges also spoke of how her stepfather did not believe in vaccinations before his death and how it could have also more seriously harmed her mother.
"My mother did not have the vaccine either, although she had underlying health conditions such as diabetes," Hodges said. "She is very lucky to still be here.
"COVID has ripped the family apart," Hodges said. "The nurses and doctors said to my mum: 'With COVID, there is no textbook illness and everyone reacts differently.'
"I know not getting vaccinated is a massive regret of my mother's. She was embarrassed to tell hospital staff she had not had the jab."
More than 38.7 million people have received both doses of the vaccine in the U.K., with around 90 percent of all adults having had at least one shot.
The vaccine rollout has been praised for helping to reduce the numbers of deaths and hospitalizations significantly even as the Delta variant sees tens of thousands of new COVID cases recorded daily in the U.K. -

A Texas GOP official who mocked vaccines died from COVID-19.
H. Scott Apley, a State Republican Executive Committee member, died on Wednesday, his family said.
Apley had previously shared memes questioning the usefulness of COVID-19 vaccines.
A Texas GOP official died with COVID-19 days after sharing a meme questioning the usefulness of coronavirus vaccines.
H. Scott Apley, a member of the State Republican Executive Committee in Texas, died in hospital on Wednesday morning.
He tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, according to a fundraising page set up to cover his medical bills and, later, his funeral expenses. As of early Thursday it had raised $28,000.
Apley, who was also a member of the Dickinson County Council, was a new father, according to the page. His wife had also tested positive for the virus.
The Texas Republican Party confirmed his death on Wednesday.
"I am very saddened to report that H Scott Apley passed away last night at about 3 am," the page said.
"He leaves behind his wife, Melissa, who is COVID positive, as well as their infant son Reid."
Five days before his death, Apley shared a meme on Facebook which questioned the usefulness of COVID-19 vaccines, the Daily Beast first reported.
The post was a screenshot of a tweet which read: "In 6 months, we've gone from the vax ending the pandemic - to you can still get covid even if vaxxed - to you can pass covid onto others even if vaxxed - to you can still die of covid even if vaxxed - to the unvaxxed are killing the vaxxed."
In May, he shared a link to an article that described how tickets and giveaways were being used to incentivize people to get vaccinated, and said: "Disgusting."
Also in May he shared an invitation to a "mask burning" event at a pub in Cincinnati with a caption that read: "I wish I lived in the area!"
Dickinson Mayor Sean Skipworth told the Galveston County Daily News that he did not know whether Apley had been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Texas Republican Party said in a statement: "The Texas Republican Party is incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) Member Scott Apley from Senate District 11.
"Please join us in praying for the Apley family."
FUCK PRAYING FOR THIS ASSHOLE. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SYMPATHY FOR ANY DUMBASS WHO HAS NOT HAD THE BALLS TO GET THE VACCINE. SERVES HIS STUPID ASS RIGHT.
MAYBE HE WILL DO THE MOST GOOD IN HIS WHOLE LIFE BY HAVING LOST IT. -

Sweden: Despite Variants, No Lockdowns, No Daily Covid Deaths

Since the Covid pandemic broke out, Sweden has been fought over more than any other part of Europe since Germany in the 30 Years War. In refusing to use an iron fist to control a virus, lockdown advocates claimed it was either committing murder or suicide; choose your favorite metaphor. Relatively few such as me, in three separate articles, claimed the Nordic country was sparing both the economy and something called “liberty” with its light-handed approach. My favorite title (editor chose it): “Media Enraged That More Swedes Aren’t Dying.”
Thus last year we saw such headlines as CNN’s “Deaths Soar In Country That Didn’t Lock Down. Officials Identify Big Reason Why.” Around the same time “Sweden Steadfast In Strategy As Virus Toll Continues Rising,” claimed another source. “Sweden’s Coronavirus Strategy Drives Up Infection Rate,” screamed the BBC. Everyone was playing pile-on. “Sweden Has The Highest Daily Coronavirus Death Rate In The World – And It’s Getting Worse.” That’s from Yahoo Sports. Sports?
Modelers desperately tried to scare Sweden into locking down. One predicted an incredible median of 96,000 deaths, with a maximum of 183,000. At Sweden’s Lund University an academic used the parameters in the now-infamous Neil Ferguson/Imperial College model to warn that it meant 85,000 deaths for Sweden. An Uppsala University team also found the nation paying a terrible price with 40,000 Covid-19 deaths by May 1, 2020 and almost 100,000 by June.
Total Swedish Covid deaths at this writing: 14,651.
It’s not that Sweden did nothing – but very little. “From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health Agency . . . embarked on a de-facto herd immunity approach, allowing community transmission to occur relatively unchecked,” declared a scathing editorial in the leftwing medical journal The Lancet last December. “No mandatory measures were taken to limit crowds on public transport, in shopping malls, or in other crowded places,” it said. “Coronavirus testing, contact tracing, source identification, and reporting, as recommended by WHO, were limited and remain inadequate.” High schools closed temporarily, but grade schools never.
“In our view,” snarled The Lancet, “there is still not sufficient recognition in the national strategy of the importance of pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission, aerosol transmission, and use of face masks.”
Time to revisit Sweden as much of the world starts locking down and masking again regardless of vaccination levels, blaming the Delta variant. And those impudent Swedes are pretty much refusing to die of Covid at all.
Not to say that vaccines haven’t contributed to the current low numbers, but … cases peaked during the first week of January while vaccinations didn’t even begin until the end of that month. Currently Sweden ranks 18th in Europe in vaccines per capita, right in the middle. Likewise, there are those who say Sweden finally buckled down and imposed serious restrictions. It didn’t. It imposed more restrictions in the second week of January, perhaps more in response to international opprobrium than anything else. But yes, it was after cases not only had started dropping but actually plummeted by more than half.
What’s happening? According to an as-yet unpublished but online study by two Svenske researchers, it appears the country has reached that Holy Grail of Covid called “herd immunity.” That means a level where those already protected are significantly guarding those without exposure. Mind, they say, it’s not all from Covid-19 per se but possibly in great part to “pre-immunity” from other infections. Four coronaviruses are known to cause colds, but the researchers actually don’t even mention that. It’s just that previous exposure to something seems to be providing natural inoculation. And it shouldn’t be as unique to Sweden as Ingrid Bergman.
Mind, the current figures are just a snapshot. Did the country pay an awful price en route to the apparent herd immunity? Well, certainly the Swedish death rate is higher than its Nordic neighbors Norway, Denmark, and Finland. Those are the comparisons you’ll hear. But it’s well below the rates for larger-population European countries including Belgium, Italy, the U.K., Romania, Spain, France, and Portugal. The U.S., too.
Sweden’s chief epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, who caught absolute hell, feels vindicated. “Locking down is saving time,” he said last year. “It’s not solving anything.” In essence the country “front-loaded” its deaths and decreased those deaths later on.
Meanwhile, the Swede haters have also insisted that in exchange for its “butcher’s bill” the country was deriving little or no economic benefit from not shutting down.
“Sweden unlikely to feel economic benefit of no-lockdown approach,” warned the Financial Times in a May 10, 2020 headline. It admitted that so far Sweden has fared better, but select “analysts” cautioned it wouldn’t last.
Wrong. Despite Sweden inevitably feeling undertow from economies that did lock down, “Covid-19 has had a rather limited impact on its economy compared with most other European countries,” according to the Nordetrade.com consulting firm. “Softer preventative restrictions against Covid-19 earlier in the year and a strong recovery in the third quarter contained the GDP contraction,” it said.
Thus the country the media loved to hate is reaping the best of all worlds: Few current cases and deaths, stronger economic growth than the lockdown countries, and its people never experienced the yoke of tyranny.
Not surprisingly, it’s not just Sweden’s pro-freedom position on Covid that sticks in the MSM’s craw. Though routinely labeled “socialist,” it ranks 10th out of 190 economies for ease of doing business, according to the World Bank’s Doing Business report for 2020.
Which for a lot of people is presumably another good reason to hate them.

Stay unvaccinated and NIS will, with any luck, have yet another obituary thread for your departure.

You, Vincent, obviously ride the short bus.
Let's just look at your last thread, shall we?
It should have been formatted:
Q: Are mentally challenged people allowed to be vaccinated? (capitalized with question mark)
A: Yes. (capitalized)
Q: So intelligence is not required? (capitalized with question mark moved to the actual end of the sentence)
A: Absolutely not. (capitalized)
An error in each and every item, Doofus. -
2021-08-06 at 5:41 PM UTCAny person who would ban healthy people and people with natural immunity in their own country is a traitor and a fascist and should be driven out of the country on their Nazi asses. Let them move to China or Germany, where their treasonous ilk will be welcome.
