Gloucester teenager has died from COVID-19 complications.

Kurt Ryan, 15 and a sophomore at Gloucester High School, died on Jan. 4., according to a GoFundMe established to cover his funeral expenses. As of Friday morning, the campaign had been shut down with over $27,000 raised.

“I don’t know what to say, we’re in so much pain right now,” Tammy Ryan, Kurt’s mother, told WCVB.

1. The family gave pertinent information except for:

"Kurt’s 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.

4. it means he was not vaccinated

and it's probably because of the parents

2. His parents declined to say whether he was vaccinated.

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

3. What is left to say at this point?

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.

6. Any chance the parents were vaccinated?

7. They declined to comment on his vax status

He was not vaccinated.

This didn't have to happen.
