Showing Original Post only (View all)Father of five dies after texting fiancee: 'I should have gotten the damn vaccine' [View all]
A 39-year-old father of five from Las Vegas has died from complications of COVID-19 after sending a text to his fiancee from the hospital saying, "I should have gotten the damn vaccine."
According to Jessica DuPreez, she and her fiance Michael Freedy, a Las Vegas casino worker, "wanted to wait just one year from the release (of the vaccine) to see what effects people had, but there was never any intention not to get it."
"That is a decision she said she will always regret," according to Las Vegas' Fox affiliate.
