Liberals pounce on the death of unvaccinated pro-Trump local GOP official from coronavirus complications



A local Massachusetts Republican figure who was reportedly unvaccinated died from severe complications of the coronavirus, and many on the left pounced on the news to mock her and ridicule other Trump supporters.

Linda Zuern, 70, died on Friday at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston according to the Cape Cod Times. Zuern was known as a staunch conservative and stalwart supporter of former President Donald Trump. She also appeared to support the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Her family said that Zuern had not been vaccinated when she contracted the coronavirus. She had been in a coma and in a ventilator before she died.

After news of her death reached social media, many on the left pounced to politicize her passing.

"On todays episode of I DONT GIVE A F*** Linda Zuern, an Unvaccinated trump supporter who spread coronavirus conspiracy theories has died from COVID Darwin strikes again Anybody care?" responded an anti-Trump account.

"They are directly to blame for people exposing others and for incalculable covid spread. I'll laugh at every one of them for the tears others have to shed for their lost loved ones," said another.

"Tough break, Linda Zuern. I know she's not the first unvaccinated Trump supporter to die from what she insisted was a hoax, she certainly won't be the last, and I guarantee Trump doesn't give a f*** and won't even send flowers to the funerals," replied another critic.

"Quoting Linda Zuern, Q follower, dead from Covid, 'Where we go one, we go all.' Covid's delta variant responds, 'That works for us.' What a stupid, stupid tragedy," read another tweet.

"Too bad the unvaccinated trump supporter, Linda Zuern, couldn't have just gone quietly. How many people were harmed or killed by her nutty fb posts? Ignorance and idiocy can be deadly. I'm sure MAGAs will sanctify her with Ashley Babbitt," responded one critic on Twitter.

"She died of Science Denying modern day Republican Trumpism. Propaganda killed her. I wonder if she still thought she was right as she sucked in her last breath. Too bad," tweeted another.

Zuern was very active in her local community, her church, and served as a local Republican committee official.

Facebook fires back at President Biden after he says 'they're killing people' with COVID misinformation



Facebook fired back at President Joe Biden on Friday after he said that the gargantuan social media platform was killing people through the spread of misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden was leaving the White House when he addressed a reporter asking about coronavirus misinformation on social media.

"On COVID misinformation, what is your message to platforms like Facebook?" asked a reporter.

"They're killing people!" Biden responded.

"I mean really, they're, look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated," he added. "And they're killing people!"

Facebook fires back

The company responded with a statement highly critical of Biden's accusation.

"We will not be distracted by accusations which aren't supported by the facts," read the Facebook statement.

"The fact is that more than 2 billion people have viewed authoritative information about COVID-19 and vaccines on Facebook, which is more than any other place on the internet. More than 3.3 million Americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to find out where and how to get a vaccine," the social media giant added.

"The facts show that Facebook is helping save lives," Facebook concluded. "Period."

The contentious exchange came at a time when the Biden administration is being lambasted by critics over accusations that they are collaborating with Facebook to stamp out political opposition to their agenda.

On Thursday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended the administration's actions and explained that they were only "flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation."

On Friday, Psaki went further and connected the deaths of unvaccinated people with disinformation on Facebook.

"Facebook and any other private sector company makes decisions about what information should be on their platform," Psaki said. "Our point is that there is information that is leading to people not taking the vaccine and people are dying as a result. And we have a responsibility, as a public health matter, to raise that issue."

The White House was similarly criticized when it was reported that their Democratic allies were seeking to pressure digital communications companies into censoring text messages they considered misinformation.
