Well liked unvaccinated 4th grade teacher in Wake County (NC) dies from COVID

[mnhtnbb]

Expressed regret before she died for not getting vaccinated. Left four daughters and a husband. She scheduled the oldest to get vaccinated before she died and said the other teens would also be vaccinated.

Apparently she caught COVID while on a family trip in August.

This story is getting a lot of play in local Raleigh media, both on TV and in print.

You can only hope that some of the stories of these people will motivate some of the unvaxxed to go get vaccinated.

One more needless death.

1. I'm a teacher. I get about 95% mask compliance from my kids

At least young people take this seriously

[Treefrog]

2. I'm not going out much, but when I do, I'm seeing a lot of masks in my red town.

We’re averaging one Covid death a day in this county, and the school board still will not require masks. Smh.

3. My grandson's teacher got covid.

She’s pregnant—don’t know if she’s vaccinated. Fortunately, my grandson did not get it.

4. Incredibly tragic. I try not to think about the horror for people who

realize too late. At least she's serving others in death, though.

5. How long and how many more of the same stories do we

have to read about?

6. It's crazy. And all the conmen/women who sold them on antivax will walk away from the damage ...

... that they've done.

7. I'm not terribly sympathetic to these fucking idiots no matter how well loved.

11. I'm with you, Lucky...

No eff's to give anymore.

8. 4 kids!!

I got my vaccination in what feels like years (actually months) ago. I'm mostly on my own, so I cannot imagine how hard this is for her family. Well-liked or not, she was extremely selfish.

[Ziggysmom]

9. She was loved, but stupid

[ailsagirl]

10. It's tough to feel sympathetic

For the kids, yes. But not for her. She made her decision.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. I can't feel any sympathy for non-vaxxers at all. You make choices in life. You chose this. nt

[NYC Liberal]

15. And they endanger others. That's the real reason to lack sympathy.

People who can’t get vaccinated for medical reasons risk their lives because of these selfish assholes.

Notice they only express regret when it affects them. Until then, they don’t give a shit because it’s other people getting sick.

[Evolve Dammit]

23. The lack of any social responsibility or self-sacrifice (masks, shots) is dangerous to all. And it

didn't have to be this way. That's the tragedy

[dchill]

13. Flash: People who don't get vaccinated may die from COVID.

The TRUMP virus.

[BlueIdaho]

14. If I knew my kids teacher was unvaccinated

I would kick up an enormous fuss. It’s educational malpractice. Same thing goes for healthcare workers. If I’m in a hospital room I will refuse every unvaccinated practitioner the right to treat me or for that matter - enter my room. This is unthinkably careless stupid shit.

16. "well liked" by those she didn't infect and kill

She was a domestic terrorist and her repuke-looking husband likely is too. A year and 1/2 into a pandemic and she still ignored her responsibility to her own family, community, country and profession.

FUCK every single one of these "well-liked" traitors to humanity.

17. omg, "Left four daughters and a husband."

[SMC22307]

18. She, her husband, and three of their daughters became infected after a recent trip to Charlotte?!

UFB

The Mongones have four daughters, ages 17 to 7, and all but the oldest daughter became infected with the virus after a trip to Charlotte. Everyone recovered but Merridith Mongone.

....

"I was worried, wanted to do more research."

I'm going to #BeBest and not say what I'm really thinking.

[Crunchy Frog]

20. Well, she did her research thoroughly, and the results are in.

[Crunchy Frog]

19. I'm glad she didn't get it from a student.

That would be a terrible burden to saddle a fourth grader with for the rest of their life.

[wellst0nev0ter]

21. I feel sorry for her family and those who loved her

Other than that, I'll salute her for winning the Herman Cain Awards.

22. Not vaccinated and going on a family trip to an area with high rates of Covid cases?

What are these people thinking?
