"Darwin and a scientific contemporary of his, Alfred Russel Wallace, proposed that evolution occurs because of a phenomenon called natural selection (the plan). This means that if an environment changes, the traits that enhance survival in that environment will also gradually change, or evolve."
(Like getting vaccinated because... science).

Your pairing of Gays and Muslims in any thought of this kind is entirely tone deaf. Muslim's as a society and religion seek to kill Gay people. The atrocities Gays suffer in Muslim countries are reprehensible.
I believe R_P was referring to the attitudes of many Americans to Gays and Muslims.
Whether it is legally welcome or not, there is much homosexuality in Muslim countries just like there was lots of homosexuality in the USA and other rich western democracies when homosexuality was subject to persecution.
Now, tell us about Americans who back the murder of children and grandparents in order to satisfy American political and resource objectives.

QED
I guess you got woke re-educated already about The Gays. That still leaves The Trans. Looks like The Muslims are still a set of comfy shoes.

Good point! Right wingers in general (and evangelical right wingers in particular) aren't afraid of gays or Muslims because Muslims hate gays. All billion of them, even the gay ones. But I digress. Your logic is inescapable! Right wingers can only be said to fear things that do not have antipathy for each other—like vaccines and trans people.
I was commenting on what Richard said.
Not the article and its subject matter. Not even going there.
So I guess that I am the only one who considers his linking of these two groups in his context as tone deaf and unthinking.
Sure, assuming she's pure evil/delusional. There's nothing like a good near-death experience to make people see the light.
Trump got immediate expert care with the latest (experimental*) treatments and walked away like it was no big deal...because it was, in his case, no big deal. He didn't have to pay for any of it and it worked a treat. Somebody with less pull than him does not get monoclonal antibodies. If she's in the wrong part of Texas she may have trouble even getting oxygen.
Or maybe she'll insist on Ivermectin and HCQ**. If so...good luck to her. Either way the experience is likely to be scary.
*"Experimental" doesn't man quack cure. Trump didn't get no Ivermectin, and his treatment didn't include HCQ because he had real doctors.
**Are y'all still stuck on this, or have you all moved on to Ivermectin? What's next, Laetrile? Jeebus.
Just to follow up, she tweeted
Addressing the rumors on Twitter Monday, Owens stated, "Unfortunately for you â Iâm at the top of an Aspen mountain with my family and limited reception. Iâm still proudly unvaccinated and unmasked."
But now I wonder if there was a contract for her speaking engagement that she skipped to be in Aspen, or if it was just a garden-variety snub.

"“When you believe in eternal life—when you believe that living on this earth is but a blip on the screen, then you don’t have to be so scared of things,”" Automobiles, tobacco, opioid abuse, guns, B&Es, assault, rape, ....., none of those are serious issues for the 'true believers'. From true belief comes serenity.
Unless it's The Gays, The Muslims, etc.

I didnt read the story, and probably wont, but... Believing in the internal, and not being "scared" of mortal threats does not provide a pass about being responsible. One is being righteous, the other self righteous.

Well if she gets out it's a hoax just like she says, and if she dies, well, everbody knows that once you get to the hospital, it's the ventilators that kill you. Or the FBI poisons you to make a point.
Q followers are already determining that anti-masker Caleb Wallace either died because he was on a ventilator and the *ventilators* are actually what is killing COVID ICU patients, or "because a local FBI agent poisoned him to make a point." pic.twitter.com/tFuUrWGayY
Here's the Schadenfreudian article about Caleb Wallace, if you are like me and don't follow these people very closely.
