The Daily Mail reports:
An anti-vax Czech folk singer has died after deliberately catching 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, Rek told public radio iRozhlas.cz. 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 and soon after, died choking in her bed, her son said. 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.”

This is even more crazy than usual. To avoid getting vaccinated Hana Horka, a Czech folksinger sought infection on purpose to get a certificate that she had had it but, lulled into a false sense of security by anti-vaxxers – it killed her. https://t.co/3q3VSDKdOE
