Sad COVIDiocy: Irish Anti-Vaxxers Died of COVID, and Anti-Vax Professor Dismissed from Irish University

Multiple Irish anti-vax residents have died from COVID. 

Paul Hamill, an Irish DUP councilor, who had previously shared many anti-vax posts on Facebook, has died of COVID. He's been called "a genuine good guy in local politics". 

A mother-daughter anti-vax pair died days apart in an Irish hospital. Both were care workers and eligible for the vaccine as first responders back in January 2021. Both refused, and posted online various COVID conspiracies and shared posts from anti-vaxxers around the world. The father lamented that don't they understand how their death burdens those who still live, even if it is their life and their choice. 

In related news, an anti-vax professor at an Irish UCD School of medicine has been dismissed. Dolores Cahill had publicly opposed COVID-related public policies such as lock-down and publicly stated falsehoods such as "nobody is dying [of COVID]" at an anti-vax rally.
