Jenni Fink - Yesterday 2:28 PM
A28-year-old man who bucked the reality of COVID-19 died in an Italian hospital and his father is on a ventilator still battling the virus.
Italian news outlets said Luigi Cossellu was admitted to the hospital on January 16. He was reportedly unvaccinated against COVID-19 and questioned his diagnosis even after being transferred to a hospital's Intensive Care Unit.
Cossellu was being treated in Latina, south of Rome, and at one point tore off his oxygen mask, according to Ansa, an Italian wire service. After denying he had COVID-19, he reluctantly put the mask back on and Ansa reported that he died at Latina's Santa Maria Goretti Hospital.
When Cossellu was admitted, he had severe respiratory failure, according to Italian newspaper L'Unione Sarda. Silvia Cavalli, director-general of the Azienda Sanitaria Locale of Latina, told Il Gazzettino, an Italian newspaper, that unvaccinated people frequently arrive at the hospital only after the virus has progressed to more serious symptoms.

28 years old. On top of everything, he had to be afraid that his caregivers were lying and willing to let him die rather than treat him properly. RIP.

(11,955 posts)The headline makes it sound like he pulled off his mask and died, but those things happened at different times (the article says "at one point tore off his oxygen mask" ). The article doesn't actually tell us much about his death... whether he was on a ventilator, whether he was unaware by then, etc.

(10,036 posts)Even though its his own fault I wouldnt wish that kind of death on anyone. And yet deniers are not swayed. I read recently where a couple family members died of covid and the families made statements blaming Biden. I really dont feel sympathy for these sorts.
