There seems to be a growing trend toward violence surrounding the COVID vaccination and masking.

People assaulting restaurant workers for enforcing the restaurants rules - wear masks to enter. Not a singleton event/

Flight attendants assaulted for enforcing the airlines rules - wear masks. Not a singleton event.

And now a person, anti-vaxer, is accused of killing his brother, a pharmacist, to stop him from giving vaccinations.

So far most of the media has not covered this story, so I can't vouch for it's veracity.

"According to the charging documents filed against Burnham related to the Howard County murders, Burnham told another unnamed person that his brother was “killing people with the COVID shot.”

If the story proves to be true, I would agree with you, COVID vaccination is just an excuse. Sadly, it seems to be becoming an excuse for lots of undesirable activities.

The B'more Sun is pretty reliable (if not somewhat biased...)

Covid is the most over used excuse across almost every and any interface of our lives.

No doubt there are some legitimate. However I believe far more are "taking advantage of a crisis".

I think the saying is, "Never let a crisis go to waste".

He would have brought up twinkies if that was still available. Just someone else who is obviously mentally ill trying to justify his violent actions by blaming something else other than his own evil deeds.

I will agree he is mentally ill. I will disagree that he is trying to justify his action by making up something. There is no indication of that in the story. I take it at face value, he believes he was doing the right thing. That doesn't make him sane, that doesn't justify it. It is just the simplest explanation.

Words matter, and there are a lot of inflammatory words flying around everywhere over COVID and masks and vaccinations. When that happens on anything fringe elements and mentally ill act on those inflammatory words, often resulting in unfortunate results.

It is why it is not a good thing when a popular person be they a movie star, a politician, or a blogger uses hate and misinformation to incite people - sometimes they succeed.

This sounds more like a Cain and Abel kind of story and not some leader helping people to worship a Golden Calf so to speak.

A growing trend? A few isolated incidents. Not even as news worthy as the mass riots and destruction a couple summers ago. But, those riots and destruction were shrugged off as "justified."

Moving on...............

CNN has not covered it, as far as I know, not at the time of the original post anyway.

So, thanks for bashing CNN, even thought it was/is not involved. Agenda much?
