    Guy I've known for years in his early 30s just contacted me, hadn't heard from him in a few months, he got Covid in November and was in ICU, very nearly died... just back at home but he's fucked. Met him playing the survival game Rust on his server and ended up developing plugins for him. Real nice guy, a bit eccentric and big in to crypto farming, games and an O.G. anti vaxxer (banging on about it several years before the pandemic).

    I don't play Rust any more but every few months I get a Discord DM something isn't working and log on to fix it... Last time was about 6 months ago when I realised he'd changed all the server loading messages to statements about Covid not being real etc. which was funny because he would also complain about the dwindling number of players :-D

    He's over the worst of it hopefully and least now he's got antibodies but ffs I've had a few unvaccinated friends get it really bad (one in his 50s was in a coma for 4 weeks and miraculously has recovered, his girlfriend died) but they were just lazy about getting vaxxed (although his brother was antivaxx and probably influenced him - he's changed his tune now)...

    The whole thing got me thinking about my housemate in my 20s that found a lump on his balls and (unbeknownst to me) had a fear of hospitals, kept it to himself, started drinking heavily and acting erratically. I had to contact a few of his closest friends out of concern for his emotional state, they eventually found out the problem and got him to go to hospital but by that point it was too late and he was dead within months. I miss him and think about him often but I've never really forgiven him for being so wreckless and it surprises me how angry I am at him over a decade later. I think it's only me and a few others that know that he knew about it and did nothing for so long.

    Anyway, I have a few others with similar views to the server guy and they're all loveable eccentric folks - i've been ignoring a few and have had to block some others but not sure if they realise how much of the anger directed at them is that regardless of where their concerns lie about the vaccine their friends will interpret it as walking about saying "I've got a lump on my balls and i'm not going to the doctor". I'll do my thing and you do yours and when it's all said and done let me be angry, none of us have time for this.
