Beloved former “Friends” star Matthew Perry died at 54. Perry was reportedly found in a hot tub outside of his home at around 4 p.m. Saturday in Los Angeles, with the cause of death listed as an “apparent drowning.”

Anti-vaxxers poured in on social media to promptly blame the COVID-19 vaccination for his death. Kandiss Taylor, a former GOP candidate for governor of Georgia and current GOP chair of Georgia’s 1st congressional district, weighed in. She even pinned this tweet.

What a bunch of garbage human beings.
