and explaining why he is still against the vaccine - nine days before dying from the disease
(Sorry - typical Daily Mail long headline) His embedded videos are hard to watch, but definitely show the path that Covid-19 takes.
---------------------
A Cambridge University graduate recorded himself downplaying his Covid symptoms and telling viewers the disease was not to be feared days before the virus claimed his life.
Solicitor Leslie Lawrenson, 58, died at his home in Bournemouth, Dorset, just nine days after releasing footage to Facebook explaining why Covid-19 was 'nothing to be afraid of'.
Leslie had no underlying health conditions and had previously refused his vaccine because he believed he 'did not need it' and instead placed his faith in his immune system.
With intermittent coughing breaking up his monologue, he explains his symptoms and describes them as 'no worse than a cold'.

In my wife's case, it was going to church one day after over a year and a half of staying away: to say goodbye to a retiring music director. The director's husband is on a ventilator as of yesterday and three others have come down with it, including the lady sitting next to her in the choir loft.
I wrote about my experience: a neighbor, who while I was taking him to the hospital told me he hadn't gotten his vaxx yet, he was "waiting to see if the shot was effective or not."
We are in quarantine considering what inconsiderate neighbors and friends we have.

I'm Moderna and my wife is Pfizer. I'm confident that I am as safe as I can be in Texas with all those mendacious RWers around me.
We're showing no symptoms in the two weeks since Mrs MFalls was exposed. Unfortunately, 'Hercules' exposed me on Monday.
