A mom of 4 who died of covid days after her husband makes a wish: 'Make sure my kids get vaccinated'
A few weeks ago, Lydia Rodriguez thought her body was strong enough to fight the coronavirus without the vaccine.
But after a week-long church camp, she and other members of her family tested positive for the coronavirus. By the time Rodriguez, 42, changed her mind and asked for the shot, it was too late, her doctor said. A ventilator awaited her, her cousin Dottie Jones told The Washington Post.
Out of options, the Galveston, Tex., mother of four, asked her family to make a promise: “Please make sure my kids get vaccinated,” Rodriguez, a piano teacher, told her sister during their last phone call.
Rodriguez died Monday — two weeks after her husband, Lawrence Rodriguez, 49, also died after coronavirus complications. The couple fought the virus from hospital beds just a few feet from one another in a Texas intensive care unit, Jones said.

Just imagine how many orphans it could produce if it were real.
In case this is needed here: 
what I don't understand:
There seems to be a recurring theme of covid being some kind of obstacle course one must endure to prove one can get through it. I'm not understanding this.
Would one not get a measles vaccine to prove you can survive measles? These are very strange cognitions to me.
I might survive covid, but why would I want to do that to prove something, to me? Society? Relatives? The whole point of a vaccine is NOT to undergo Hell.
