It may be that the best thing is to find a narrative style the anti-vaxxers can buy. So, to that end, I wrote this Old Testament-style pastiche about the past couple of years. (For those of you not used to Twitter, the link takes you to a 27 (or so) “tweet thread” which is read by clicking on the bottom tweet. The link is to the first tweet, they are all numbered, and the last tweet is a near carbon copy of the first tweet. You’ll see.) > ---

Well, I found out yesterday that Covid 19 and stupidity have claimed two of the Typo Clan, fringe version. My cousin, 49 and my Uncle, 80. Both solid Trumpers and Covid 19 Deniers, of course, unvaccinated. Cousin brought Covid 19 into the house he shared with his father. Father then contracted it and died quickly. Cousin is in medically induced coma after having a heart attack during his hospitalization and is not expected to survive. I am certain cousin denied Covid 19 right to his last conscious breath. Morons. ---

Boros figured in the case of a Florida woman hospitalized with Covid, whose husband sued the hospital to force it to treat her with ivermectin. Boros wrote an ivermectin prescription for her, but did not have privileges at that hospital and while a doc there was willing to give her the drug, it wasn’t at the insisted-on higher dose. A judge found in favor of the hospital. The woman, a teacher who died earlier this month after a long hospital course, was not vaccinated against Covid-19 according to the Palm Beach Post. Her husband blames the hospital over its refusal to treat her with the higher dose ivermectin and is planning further legal action. He says the state should name a law after her. > [@Folly](#): > > ‘Boros’ is a hungarian surname meaning (wine) drunkard. It’s also the name of a great professional golfer.
