Meat Loaf Paid The Price For His Ignorance

Sad news about Meat Loaf but even sadder is the news that he died of COVID-19 and was one of those who never took the threat of the disease seriously.
He wasn't an anti-vaxxer, i never heard him spew anti-vax propaganda, although he was anti-mask and anti-lockdown saying lockdowns were 'political' and masks were 'useless'. He also posted a clip of Eric Clapton and Van Morrison’s anti-lockdown song, Stand & Deliver, writing, 'Listen and Learn'.
Being an ignorant arse isn't a crime but when you have an audience such as he had, anything you say will be amplified and as he was suffering from health issues including asthma, to rage against masks is sadly ignorant.
His vacinne status has not been published and he  did say recently in an interview: 'If I die, I die', which in hindsight was really, really stupid because he should've cared if not for himself then for his family.
It does detract from him slightly, i always quite enjoyed whenever he showed up on TV, he seemed a real fun guy and he had some decent songs, '2 Out Of 3 Ain't Bad' and 'Dead Ringer For Love' especially, but for whatever reason he paid the ultimate price for his ignorance and has become a warning of not taking COVID-19 seriously and that's probably the saddest thing of all.
