Cirsten Weldon said that only idiots get vaxxed. She recorded videos of herself yelling at people standing in line to get vaccinated, which she posted to one of her on-line accounts where she spouted QAnon conspiracy theories to tens of thousands of followers.

“This is how gullible these idiots are. They’re all getting vaccine!” she yelled into the camera.

Weldon started showing symptoms of coronavirus infection in late December. In her final video on December 28th she was coughing and complaining about being exhausted while predicting the imminent overthrow of the United States government. Three days later she was hospitalized.

While she was hospitalized Weldon wrote in a Telegram post that she had refused to take coronavirus treatment remdesivir, calling it “Dr Fauci’s Resmedervir (sic).”

Cirsten Weldon died today. She consumed medical and hospital resources unnecessarily and put additional stress and strain on nurses and doctors for two weeks before slowly suffocating in her own fluids as her lungs filled up with blood and pus. It was a slow, horrible, and completely unnecessary way to die. If she's been vaccinated, she'd probably be alive today.

Cirsten Weldon lost her battle with COVID, and the rest of us are just a little bit better off because of it.

We can slow the virus down and reduce the load on hospitals by masking up and keeping socially distant, but to get things back to normal more people will need to get vaccinated, and the number one reason that the vaccine-hesitant become vaccine-takers is because someone they personally know and care about died from the virus. That's literally the only way that anti-vaxxers figure out that maybe they should get vaccinated, when someone they know dies and it occurs to them "that could have been ME."

To get things back to normal the best thing you can do is get vaccinated, and then go out and mingle! Go to a night club, a restaurant, a concert, the gym. Don't wear a mask and start conversations with complete strangers! As more unvaccinated folks get sick and die, more vaccine-hesitant people will become vaccine-takers. As the number of unvaccinated people gets smaller and smaller the virus will stop spreading.

If we all do our part, we can stop this disease, and kill off a lot of annoying, stupid people at the same time. People like QAnon true believer Cirsten Weldon.
