According to social media posts (below) Mike died December 26 from COVID. Mike had just retired in July of this year. He didn't get to enjoy it long. Mike was an anti-vaxxer, and he's a study in cognitive dissonance. He lost his "traveling partner" and significant other, Vicki Hammond, on November 21, but continued to post anti-vaxx and anti-mask stories and memes almost up until his own death. At the last moment it appears he had a change of heart, and commented in a thread that he was going to get vaccinated after he recovered.
Here we go. Pay attention to the dates of his posts.
He's PROUDLY unvaxxed. I hear a Lee Greenwood song when I see this:
Ah, the good old days. Remember when people got Polio and were paralyzed or died?
I laugh when I see the words "Pure Bloods". And didn't all those Spartans die?
Grim isn't going to like this post:
Well, he loses his traveling partner, Vicki. She died from COVID: This is her son's announcement:
He's sad:
But at least he has Medicaid:
Good thing. Because he's going to need it:
He continued to be sad:
But he's not going to be forced into getting vaccinated:
Remember, he's retired:
He's still sad:
But still adamant:
But even as he's posting that stuff he's in the hospital with COVID!
and he's still sad about Vicki:
So, he's lost Vicki to COVID and he's in the hospital with COVID and he posts:
and this...
and this...
and this...
Oh, and his lungs are trashed:
And after he shows us the damage COVID has done to him, he posts:
And he's still sad:
And still shit-posting:
And still so sad:
And still suffering from COVID, himself:
To his credit, he did say he would get the jab...
He's not sad or suffering anymore:
RIP Mike.

A fellow poster suggested going back through older posts just as a reflection. It is amazing how these can run together. Mike here was roughly 25 posts ago and I had to read a bit before he rang a bell. Then I thought, not for the first time, that I could have known many of these folks. Probably through my sister & the VFW or my BIL at any number of weekend long parties he would throw. We’d have played cornhole and drank beers, listened to ’70s & ‘80s rock and waited for someone to break out the weed. Then we would have gone our separate ways, him to die of ignorance and me to wonder why. (Apologies to …
Well done Mr. Homer - you hit that out the ball park.
This often happens with committed couples. One passes and the other soon follows.
