Another Trump supporter dies from COVID-19

Daily Kos

From Daily Kos:

Mia and Brad Vinnard were together for 12 years, married for nine. They were Trump supporters. He’s no longer a Trump supporter, however, because he’s dead. Dead because they "weren't sure" about getting the COVID-19 vaccination until it was too late.

....Brad, whose obituary will say he died of COVID-19 complications, but who in reality died from vaccine hesitancy, a deadly disease of the mind. This condition, according to public health experts, remains one of the biggest challenges in stopping the continued spread of COVID-19....

Mia says their Sacramento home is now very lonely, empty and sad.

Brad tested positive for COVID-19 at the end of June. He died after spending two weeks battling the virus in an intensive care unit.

As reported by KCRA-TV, Mia said "It all happened so fast. I wish we would have gotten vaccinated. I mean one simple shot could've prevented all of this."

Mia said she and Brad just “weren't ready” for the vaccine. "We weren't vaccinated. We wanted to wait and see how people reacted to it." 

To date, roughly 3.7 billion shots have been administered worldwide, which is a pretty good sample to go by, and from recent reporting it has become evident that COVID-19 is more dangerous than the vaccine....

After starting to get sick June 28, Brad struggled at home for a couple days. He tested his oxygen levels with a home oxygen meter. That's when he realized his condition was worsening. Shortly thereafter he was in the hospital, and soon after that he was dead.

Mia, who also tested positive for COVID a few days after Brad, did not have to spend time in the hospital. She did, however, experience severe headaches, fever, vomiting, and loss of smell and taste.

She described her bout with the virus as "never having been that sick before."

"It's nothing like the flu," Mia said....

State Rep. Bill Kidd joked that he didn't get a vaccine because he’s a Republican — now he has COVID.
