Man With Covid Changes Mind About Vaccine Just Before Dying

last thing before we go tonight no one no single death of the over 660 000 deaths during this pandemic thus far has a lock on our sympathy or our sadness by consensus they are all sad they're all a loss to their individual loved ones as the president so frequently says they all mean an empty seat at the table the small flags on the grounds of the Washington Monument are the most recent attempt to illustrate what we mean when we say we've now lost one in every 500 of our fellow citizens during this pandemic we have a good idea how many of them could have been prevented had there not been such rancid government malpractice and denialism it gave rise to the anti-vaxx movement which is now killing our people and for any and all of your friends who get their news from the crazy side of Facebook those who say it's experimental that it's a government trap or a tracking device those who say they're still doing their research by the way asked to see their home Research Laboratories all those folks should see the following this is 24 year old Patrick bershia who was interviewed three weeks ago by NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez while hospitalized with covid in Billings Montana he admits he was a consumer of misinformation he admits he was anti-vaccine before he got sick I was here at a lot of uh propaganda like the vaccine wasn't really effective it wasn't uh real it was just a whole bunch of crap that I was hearing from uh close friends and family members who uh did really trust it and I wasn't really out trying to get proper information about it but um After experiencing what I've experienced as soon as I could I get the vaccine and I highly recommend anyone who has it to do it because this is a very scary situation that was Patrick in the hospital there in Billings Montana that was three weeks ago he's gone now he died this weekend at the age of 24. another vaccine skeptic who underwent an ICU conversion to vaccine proponent right before he lost his life [Music] foreign [Music]
