My co-workers mom passed away because there was no bed in the hospital [View all]

to take care of her heart condition. She was left in a hospital hallway for two days waiting for an echo test that was never done. My co-worker is completely devastated and so angry.

We need to shun the anti-vaxxers from the public and society. They ARE killing people. I'm so broken for her. This country is just jacked.
