Michelle Fluegge wants everybody to see the photo of her on a ventilator during her very worst days because it shows what can happen if you fail to get vaccinated.

“If I can help even one person,” she told The Daily Beast of the picture, which shows her unconscious on a ventilator, her face pallid, the endotracheal tube down her windpipe held in place by a head strap, two other tubes inserted in her nose

Her family always knew her as the strong and unfaltering one who never got sick. School kids in New Ulm, Minnesota, knew her as one of the stalwart icons of childhood, the lunch lady who serves the midday meal with bright eyes and a smile.

But this 56-year-old in a town of 10,000 did not heed her two grown children when they urged her and their father, Greg Fluegge, to get vaccinated. Her son, Scott, who is 36, had moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and her daughter, Linda Manyara, who is 33, was living in St. Louis. Both were in places where they could better grasp the actual magnitude of the pandemic and the importance of the vaccine.

1. Yes it was awful for her but she lived.

And she didn't have to take the devil vaccine. So a win win. She doesn't need the vaccine. See?

4. She's calling on people to get vaccinated.

This isn't the case people are going to use to say vaxxes aren't worthwhile.

8. She Got Vaxxed In December

After all the damage was done, but she did get the shot.
It's specifically stated in the article.

2. Family member testimonies are starting to show up on sorryantivaxxers and herman cain awardss

Family members detailing what it's like to have a loved on hospitalized with Covid 19. The testimonies are being posted on FB, and then picked up by those sites.

They are heart wrenching.

This is a link to the, admittedly, most difficult one I've read, so far. You have to scroll past the 'victim's' posts to get to those of his wife.

3. Here's one poster's response:

Every time you see one of these posts you wonder why they think their's will matter when they didn't heed the thousands that came before them. They seem to be lost on the masses. Guess we just hope

6. True

Just like Sandy Hook didn't change gun nuts.

5. Been to New Ulm...

It’s one of those isolated geographical oddities….45 minutes to Mankato iirc. One of the most German towns outside of Germany. Like a whole other world.

7. What A Waste

More worried about the vax than the illness, and learned a very hard lesson.
I do have to say I think the school district pulled a low rent move sending her what is essentially a termination notice by mail.
Maybe they've had it with unvaxxed employees, but still seems needlessly harsh.
