Mother, 29, who refused to get vaccine as she 'wasn't afraid of Covid' dies of virus
The mother of three from Port Huron was highly critical of vaccines and mask mandates

A mother who refused to get vaccinated, after posting her opposition to the jab online, has reportedly died from Covid at the age of just 29.
As The Sun reports, Bridget Jackson routinely espoused anti-vax views on Facebook, while also critiquing the wearing of face masks in public spaces.
The Port Huron, Michigan native was then struck down with the virus in late November, turning to her Facebook friends for advice on lung exercises that might help.
On 1 December, she then wrote, Covid sucks, after previously asking people to pray for her. Three weeks later, Ms Jacksons sister Danielle Race provided an update on her condition via Facebook.

Anti-vax Mom Who Said 'COVID Is Not Your Enemy, Fear Is' Dies From COVID
Bridget Jackson, 29, of Port Huron, MI leaves behind three small children.
By Ed Scarce December 31, 2021
Like many of these people, Jackson filled her Facebook with inane memes about COVID and the vaccine, often with the bizarre notion that one should prioritize life instead of fear by remaining unvaccinated. For her, anyway, this made sense. Someone should have asked her what her three small children, all under age 10, would do without a mother, and that maybe just maybe they should be her priority instead of posting stupid Facebook memes. But it's too late for all that. She's dead and they're orphans.

(3,706 posts)Knowing ones breath and having manual control of the automatic is beneficial.
The yogis well know this.
However one needs to spend time learning one's breath and deep breathing.
One needs to get to know one's lungs long before the time of 'now things are off'.
When the time comes that the breath is shallow, well by then one is too well spent for deep-breathing exercises.

(24,887 posts)That's when her brain went regarding a bad Covid case.
As a former brass player, runner, and as asthmatic, I certainly understand strong lungs.

(8,052 posts)could be intubated and ventilated, because her lungs were useless stiff blocks of Swiss cheese, I wonder if she still thought that fear was her main problem. I will never understand the weird over-the-top bravado of these people, even younger people.

(9,998 posts)Thats usually priority #1 in these situations. After all, others need to look out for the well being of her kids in the future, even though she couldnt care less.

(8,978 posts)The childrens father(s)? The article mentions a fiancé but not whether or not that person is the kids father. If not, do they all have the same father? Is that person in the picture? I guess what Im wondering is if the kids will be able to stay together.
What a terrible thing.

(21,947 posts)Considering that FEAR is the reason these people won't get vaccinated in the first place.
I don't trust the scientists!
It hasn't been properly tested!
It might make me drop dead in five years!
It might contain a tracking chip!
I might get magnetized!
And also, I refuse to live in fear dontcha know!

(3,298 posts)They break OUR hearts, but the antivaxxers just ignore them, or say, "God's will!" like three years ago, God was always snatching young parents from their babies.
It's the new moms who die without ever holding their newborns that hurt the most.

(100,076 posts)People should in theory know better, but the shit posting on social media has convinced them otherwise, and the peer pressure to get those precious likes just adds to it. When the dust finally settles from this nightmare, we need to drag those responsible for allowing this misinformation to continue. Mark Zuckerberg, I'm looking in your direction.

I also don't understand why so many of you feel the need to make a post piling on them. They're dead and their kids are going to live the rest of their loves without their mom. It's not really a time for grave dancing.
