ANTI-VAXXER DIES DAYS AFTER ANTI-VACCINATION POSTS

by Bob Walsh

Daniel (Duke) Trujillo died at the age of 33 a couple of days ago from Covid-19 complications.  He was a Sheriff's Deputy in Colorado so one would tend to believe he was a reasonably bright and reasonably grounded guy.

I admit to mixed feelings about anti-vaxxers.  The ones who say that Covid-19 doesn't exist and / or it is part of some giant government conspiracy to force people to wear masks or to inject tracking devices into them are nuts.  The ones who was say they will ride with the odds and are worried about unknown long term consequences I have a certain amount of sympathy for as their attitude is not unreasonable.  The ones who resist having their rugrats vaccinated for the same reason are on even firmer ground as the likelyhood of them either catching it or spreading it is minimal to miniscule.  Trujillo landed in group #2 above.  He threw the dice and he lost.  It is a damn shame.    

He is the second deputy to die this month from Covid.  Both have been eligible to get vaccinated since January.  Both of their deaths are considered line-of-duty.
