I hear a lot of people saying that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 and being forced to wear a mask in public impinges on their freedom. I would like to respond that not getting vaccinated and not wearing a mask impinged on my brother’s freedom.
You see, he was recently admitted to the hospital, where he spent 10 days battling COVID-19. He had been vaccinated early in the year, shortly after the vaccine became available to him. Because he lived with a compromised immune system, he had been exceedingly cautious when going out in public. So, what would he say to those who refuse to be vaccinated and refuse to wear a mask in public? He can’t say. He died in the hospital on July 23 from complications of COVID-19.
