Husband of Missouri State Rep Dies of COVID: Mocked People Who Wore Masks and Got the Jab

By

Last week, Missouri State Rep. Sara Walsh asked to continue an interview by text message due to her uncontrollable coughing. This week, she announced her husband’s death. Both, obviously, were anti-vax MAGAs. We say obvious because we’ve yet to see a case where a breakthrough infection of a vaccinated person put that person in the hospital, never mind lead to death.

With the Delta variant, this is no longer a “disease” of the unvaccinated. This writer lives alone with his 13 year old daughter and we were both vaccinated. We both got COVID. I had a really rough ten days, though never short of breath. She looks and acts like a normal kid, one that cannot taste or smell. So the delta variant breaks through the Pfizer vaccine, but near no one goes to the hospital, and we’ve yet to hear of one vaccinated death. It is not a disease of the unvaccinated, it is a lethal disease for the unvaccinated, far more lethal than last year’s COVID.

According to the Daily Beast:

They were both unvaccinated and contracted the coronavirus earlier this month. “It saddens my heart to share that this morning my best friend and beloved husband Steve Walsh was welcomed to Heaven’s glory into the arms of Jesus Christ his Lord and Savior. Arrangements pending. Thank you to everyone who has lifted us up in prayer,” the Republican lawmaker tweeted. Walsh, who announced her candidacy for for U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler’s congressional seat last month, has said she refused to get the COVID-19 jab because it has yet to be approved by the FDA, some of her friends had adverse reactions, and she’s remained healthy throughout the pandemic. She did not specify why her husband—Hartzler’s spokesperson—declined to get the vaccine.

There is only one reason that a person who has the vaccine available would turn down the opportunity.

If you take a look at Steve Walsh’s Twitter, he often mocked those who wore masks and shared anti-vax misinformation.
