"I hope it was worth it for you and those 25 adults and 12 kids," a follower commented. "I truly hope it was because i can promise you it’s not worth it to everyone else who is affected by your poor choices aka the healthcare workers who you will run to when you’re sick."
"During a pandemic?" another said. "Sounds terribly irresponsible."
A third added: "Doesn’t sound like something to be proud of."

"Sorry my bad wasn’t trying to make nobody feel bad. I just had my family in my home for the first time and it felt so good & uplifted me," she wrote. "I spent soo much money getting every1 tested but it felt worth it. I wasnt trying to offend no1."
