My wife’s aunt, who didn’t get her vaccine, died today after fighting for her life on a ventilator for a number of days. I’m just hoping this compels one person on the fence about getting a vaccine to do it.

Suckage update: One of my best friends in the world died unexpectedly yesterday. He's one of the people who lifted me when my dad died after a short illness four months ago.
