From belligerent “Karens” refusing to wear masks to conspiracy theory nut cases ranting on social media, it would seem the pandemic has brought out the worst in us.
Pandemic fatigue is affecting everyone in one way or another, and a recent news account about televangelist Marcus Lamb, an ardent opponent to COVID vaccinations, dying from COVID brought that fatigue home in a disturbing way.
I reposted that news on my Facebook feed with a brief comment about how sad I was for his family and friends. That was true; I was sad for them.
But I readily admit I felt a rush of schadenfreude that this man who had encouraged others to shun vaccines died, even though he could have been saved by a simple needle stick.
