Hana Horka: Czech singer dies after catching Covid intentionally

  1. I’m not even sure if this is worthy of a Darwin Award. Darwin Awards try to be unique ways to die. This is actually more common than we think. Parents were having coronavirus parties early in the pandemic and long into the pandemic even as vaccines were made available.

    A popular TikTok challenge was actually called the coronavirus challenge where people would lick toilets to get the virus.

  2. I’ve seen people die of Covid and no matter how pigheaded their attitude in getting there I can’t bring myself to see it as anything but a tragedy

  3. *“She had wanted to catch Covid so there would be fewer restrictions on her movement.”*

    I don’t understand how catching COVID is the preferable solution to getting a free vaccine.

    I can understand someone who doesn’t get the vaccine and just hopes that they won’t get COVID. It’s magical thinking, but it’s a very human response. But to choose getting sick with a potentially deadly disease instead of a vaccine just to get access to concerts is a decision beyond my knowledge of risk evaluation.

  4. I’m astonished at the amount of idiots trying to over-smart the science to prove their sht is right.

    To me is getting sickening to the point of stop talking once-friends. They have always this worm in the head, deriving every single conversation to their random invents.

    I just prefer to get vaccinated and moving on with my boring life.

  5. remember before 2020 when you were watching any zombie movie and thought “no way humanity would collapse so quickly, we are smart” ?

    Now I find it weird that there are no characters in those movies that get bitten voluntarily, because the “zombie virus is not that dangerous” and “it’s my freedom to get infected”

  6. One of my unvaccinated colleagues also asked my girlfriend to give her corona when she had it to ‘be able to go to the cinema’, obviously she refused. It really boggles my mind why some people think that the risk of getting vaccinated is bigger than the risk of the illness itself.

  7. Sad story of a singer from my favorite folk band.

    She seemed like some kind of esoteric, hippie person. She claimed to be a guide to proper breathing on her FB page and did some guidance of such sort for some people. Her son also said in an interview that she believed in natural immunity over covid vaccines about which she was skeptical. She seemed to recover and her very last FB post is about her celebrating she successfully caught covid and now she is well and could go to theatre, sauna, bar and whatnot.

    Her son made a few comments on FB about how Czech covidiot influencers basically have her blood on their hands.

    As he said: “Because of freedom and opinion, my mother will never go to my graduation, my wedding, baptism of my children etc.”

    >Although she was unvaccinated, Jan Rek [her son] stressed that his mother **did not believe in some of the more bizarre conspiracy theories about Covid vaccines**.
    >
    >”Her philosophy was that she was more OK with the idea of catching Covid than getting vaccinated. **Not that we would get microchipped or anything like that,**” he said.
    >
    >There was no point in trying to discuss the issue with her as it would justget too emotional, he added. Instead, he hoped that by telling his story he could convince others to get vaccinated.

    We do people say this, as if it makes any difference?

    She didn’twant to be lumped in with the crazy people, but she chose the same unsafe path as the crazy people. Maybe that should be a clue she was on the wrong path?

    Her philosophy was that she was more OK with doing what the crazy people do, but she didn’t want to be labeled at one of them.

    I just don’t get that logic.

    Please just listen to the scientists, people. It’s not a complicated message they have about the vaccines.

  9. I’ve had covid recently and had to take 11 days off as I got battered by it and have had colleagues half jokingly say I wish you’d given it to me as I could do with a bit of time off.

    You don’t want it, you really don’t.

  10. >Two days before she died, she wrote on social media that she was recovering: “Now there will be theatre, sauna, a concert”.

    Now there will be nothing.

    I feel sorry for the son, husband and other relatives. The son is quoted as saying he hopes their story will convince others to take the vaccine.

    >On Sunday morning, the day she died, Ms Horka said she was feeling better and dressed to go for a walk. But then her back started hurting, so she went to lie down in her bedroom.

    >”In about 10 minutes it was all over,” her son said. “She choked to death”.

    We’ve become desensitized to Covid across the years, but this is still a pretty bad way to die.

  11. It’s crazy when you think about it, how some people actually want to get covid… to avoid the vaccine. It’s so twisted that is not even funny.

  12. >On Sunday morning, the day she died, Ms Horka said she was feeling better and dressed to go for a walk. But then her back started hurting, so she went to lie down in her bedroom.

    “In about 10 minutes it was all over,” her son said. “She choked to death”.

    That’s a bad way to go. Scary.

  13. > There was no point in trying to discuss the issue with her as it would just get too emotional, he added. Instead, he hoped that by telling his story he could convince others to get vaccinated.

    It honestly kinda bothers me that a little prick in the arm is seemingly one of the top emotional issue of our times. We really need a much more wide ranging analysis of what social media truly does to society – and not the kind that just stays in universities and gets jerked off to there.

  14. Remember “Independence Day – the welcome aliens on skyscraper roof scene”. Couldn’t believe it when I saw it, now I know..
