Refusal to Take the Shot Caused Death

Editor,

This is my interpretation of what happened that caused my brother’s death: his refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine coupled with the delay of getting to the hospital on time.

He was busy at home caring for his COVID-19 infected wife, who’d also refused the vaccine.

She survived. He didn’t. He battled it (COVID) for three plus weeks but the disease killed him.

I would much rather had a live brother injected with a little bit of COVID-19 than this outcome: no husband, no father, no father-in law, no grandfather, no friend, no neighbor, no food bank volunteer. Only grief.

Please get your vaccine.
