The Kool-Aid of Dangerous Anti-Vaxxers

What do you call morally reprehensible people like this?  Maybe domestic terrorists?  From the Daily Beast Cheat Sheet: "COVID Truthers’ New Low: Getting Followers to Yank Relatives From ICUs"

The whole story is at NBC News, and here's an excerpt: 'Vigilante treatments': Anti-vaccine groups push people to leave ICUs
As the anti-vaccine movement escalates its rhetoric, doctors warn that they're dealing with the fallout: 'They’re starting to target people, the messengers — nurses and doctors.'
Anti-vaccine Facebook groups have a new message for their community members: Don’t go to the emergency room, and get your loved ones out of intensive care units.
Consumed by conspiracy theories claiming that doctors are preventing unvaccinated patients from receiving miracle cures or are even killing them on purpose, some people in anti-vaccine and pro-ivermectin Facebook groups are telling those with Covid-19 to stay away from hospitals and instead try increasingly dangerous at-home treatments, according to posts seen by NBC News over the past few weeks.
'We were down to four Covid patients two months ago. In this surge, we’ve had 40 to 50 patients with Covid on four different ICU services, 97 percent of them unvaccinated,' said Wes Ely, an ICU doctor and professor of medicine at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. 'We were making headway, and now we’re just losing really, really badly. There’s something that’s happening on the internet, and it’s dramatically increasing steam.'"

Can you imagine actually listening to this death cult and taking your own loved ones out of the ICU? Now the anti-vaxxers aren't just talkers, they are deliberately causing even more needless COVID deaths. They have to be stopped before more people drink their brand of Kool-Aid.
