Texas Anti-Mask 'Freedom Defender' Dies of COVID-19. I feel amused.

"I'm out of shits to give," an Agnostic member hilariously wrote.

Natural consequences. He brought it on himself.

Last year, Caleb Wallace organized two major protests against what he called the “COVID tyranny” of business lockdowns, masks and vaccinations.

After close to a month in a hospital and grueling weeks on a ventilator, prominent Texas anti-mask “freedom” rally organizer Caleb Wallace died Saturday of COVID-19 complications.

The death of the 30-year-old father of three young girls was first reported by his pregnant wife, Jessica Wallace, on a GoFundMe page she had set up for donations to help with medical and household bills. She is eight months pregnant. At least she had the sense to wear a mask and get vaccinated.

Jessica Wallace told the newspaper that her husband initially refused to be tested and took unproven home remedies for the virus, including high doses of Vitamin C, zinc, aspirin, and ivermectin — a deworming treatment commonly given to livestock. Poison control centers are being swamped with calls from people suffering ill effects from ivermectin, and the Food and Drug Administration has issued alerts against ingesting the drug.

Caleb Wallace, of San Angelo, had been at the local Shannon Medical Center since July 30. He had been unconscious, ventilated and heavily sedated in the ICU there since Aug. 8, the San Angelo Standard-Times reported.

“He was so hard-headed,” Jessica Wallace told the Standard-Times. “He didn’t want to see a doctor, because he didn’t want to be part of the statistics with COVID tests.”

“I guarantee you that 2020 has been one of the worst years for America,” he said at a protest just over a year ago organized by a group he had created, the “San Angelo Freedom Defenders.”

“Show me the science that masks work,” Wallace wrote on San Angelo’s Facebook page late last year. “Show me the evidence that school closures work. Show me the evidence that lock-downs work.”

One less dumb ass in the world.

If he did not believe in science or medicine why did he go to the hospital and spend a month sucking resources and money from our health care system? Good riddance!

Darwin award winner, I don't have any sympathy.

I feel sorry for his wife and children.

I feel no sorrow for him, and am pleased that this Darin Award winner is no longer with us. Were it just him, OK, but people like him have caused suffering and death that did not need to happen.

Good riddance.

My feelings exactly.

People like him have caused suffering and death. Good riddance.

The wife and children are so much better off without him.
