Unvaxxed High School Sweethearts Die of COVID on Same Day

A unvaccinated California couple died of COVID within hours of each other, days after testing positive. KNBC reports that Alvaro and Sylvia Fernandez of Loma Linda had been married for 25 years and had four children. “Their love story began as High School sweethearts at the tender age of fifteen. Their love grew over the years as their family grew,” family members wrote on GoFundMe. Although Alvaro, 44, had diabetes and other health problems, he had not been vaccinated against the coronavirus. “He wanted to wait and do more research,” said his sister, Alma Hernandez. “He Googled information. He didn’t want to believe everything that was on the news... This is kind of an eye opener for everybody in my family that whoever is not vaccinated definitely should have their vaccinations.”

GFM is an absolute given for death from Covid these days. Seems like every single time I read a story about some unvaxxed moron that died, there is a GFM set up for the costs of their funeral, etc.

We started dating in 9th grade and just celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary.

Of course we mask, we’re vaxed and boosted, as is our whole immediate family. The rest, not so much.

All these kids who are orphans because their dad and/or mom decided to do more research, didn't trust science, mistook Fox News for a legitimate source of information, etc. are going to have a lot of questions.

P.S. Here's a riddle for you.

Q: What do you call 200 Fox News personalities at the bottom of the bottom of the ocean?
A: A good start.
