My sister and I lost a dear friend to Covid last night . He has been in the ICU @ a month..his moth

his mother died on Dec 8 and he didn't even get to go to her funeral because he was on a vent.



He fought like hell but Covid fought harder.

unfortunately he was a fox lover and probably unvaxxed

That I didn't know very well passed away from Covid about 2 months ago. His losing battle lasted 13 weeks or just over 3 months. His family, in the obit, pleaded for people to get vaccinated so they don't have to go through this.

leaves a vast swath of guilt, anxiety, despair and debt for the survivors, medical personnel, coworkers, employers, neighbors.

It is so frigging SELFISH to bring down so many other people over a damned shot.

Your chance of surviving is poor and if you do, your life will not be good thereafter..
