Anne Rice, author of ‘Interview With the Vampire,’ dies at 80​

From the news article:
"Rice died late Saturday(December 11, 2021) due to complications from a stroke, her son Christopher Rice announced on her Facebook page and his Twitter page."

Apparently she was a Big Pharma fan:



Ironically she said this in the interview, quoted from the article linked below:
"“I wrote novels about people who are shut out of life for various reasons,” Rice wrote in her 2008 memoir Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession. “This became a great theme of my novels, how one suffers as an outcast, how one is shut out of various levels of meaning and, ultimately, out of human life itself.”

From her perspective, she is welcoming people into a blessed union with god and life. She's reaching out to the unvaccinated, not shunning them. She sees the unvaccinated as unintended outcasts and she wants to reach them and offer support. You can condescend to that position she's taking if you'd like, but it's actually the exact same energy she puts out into the world through her books. It couldn't be farther from ironic. It lines up perfectly with her desire to gather outcasts and unite them through literature.

It wouldn't be any more or less ironic if she had been staunchly opposed to vaccine mandates or vaccines in general. She still would have codified it as a leap of faith. She still would have called the union a blessing. People still would have made their own choices.
