"Kurts parents declined to discuss his vaccination status, according to WCVB."
My sympathies for their loss, but they've left a major component of their story unanswered.

I'm sure they're proud of him for "taking one for the team."

Poor kid probably was not offered a choice. Very sad.

The kid had risk factors. He should have been tripled vaxxed as soon as he possibly could have been.
If your parents "decline" to discuss your vaxx status after your death, you weren't protected.
Irresponsible is America's middle name.
