News stories that get more and more desperate until people submit into doing anything the media/government/healthcare industry/scientists want them to do.
Last week's grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip was a recycled story from the Trump era about a young guy that still thought the coronavirus was a hoax until he ended up in ICU. When that didn't increase vaccination rates, the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry got more desperate and had a guy talking emotionally about how you can save his one year old in Arkansas even if you live halfway across the country by getting in line for a vaccine. Just do what these people say and everyone will be okay, just meet their demands is what the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is trying to prime people's subconcious with.

A guy or girl used by a love interest for the sole purpose of listening to problems and offer sympathy. Often manipulated, a sympathy blanket gets little reciprocation from the relationship.

Sympathy is when you laugh at the joke someone made that nobody else laughed at cause it wasn't funny

Of the things the grief tragedy sympathy industry shows you on primetime TV, the coronavirus statistics seem dull this time of year because they are all year, but it takes something like extreme weather to wake people up.
The extreme weather is a refreshing thing to see after watching the same dull coronavirus numbers and statistics bullshit that is aired by the grief tragedy sympathy industry all year since 2020.
