Anti-Vax Folk Singer Dies of COVID
An anti-vax folk singer has died after deliberately contracting COVID to obtain a health pass to allow her to visit the sauna and theatre. Hana Horka, the vocalist for the band Asonance, died on Sunday after contracting the Delta variant at the age of 57, according to her son Jan Rek.
She voluntarily exposed herself to the virus when her husband and son, both vaccinated, caught it before Christmas. Two days before her death, Horka took to social media to say, "I survived. It was intense."
Horka went for a walk outside, but when she returned, she started to complain about back pain. Soon after, she died choking in her bed. Rek blamed the death on a local anti-vax movement, saying its leaders had brainwashed his mother against vaccination and had "blood on their hands."

UT GOP Senate President Held Maskless Session While COVID+ and Lied About It
After testing positive for COVID-19 last week, Senate President Stuart Adams opened the 2022 session unmasked, conducting business as normal and trying to reassure senators and the public he was fully recovered.
In his opening comments to Tuesday, Adams initially said he had tested positive twice for COVID-19 since yesterday but backtracked seconds later. "I tested negative twice," he said, joking that he had misspoken to make sure people were listening.
In reality, the senator had indeed tested positive twice Tuesday morning. After The Salt Lake Tribune made inquiries about the senator's test results and filed an open records request regarding the test results, the Senate was backtracking on Adams' original statement.
