ICU Nurse Shares Story Of 14 Year Old Who Died After Anti-Vax Parents Refused Intubation

A frontline nurse has shared her heartbreak over losing a 14-year-old patient who died of COVID-19 after her anti-vaxxer parents forbid doctors from intubating her.

Twitter user @Jessicam6946, who is a nurse practitioner in the intensive care unit, revealed in a recent thread that they had four patients die of COVID in one shift, saying each of their deaths could have been prevented if they had been vaccinated.

'Tonight I helplessly held the hand of and stroked the hair of a beautiful 14-year-old girl as she exited this world. She was looking forward to starting high school and eventually becoming a veterinarian. It was so senseless!' she tweeted on Saturday.

'About two hours later we were unable to save a 25-year-old mother of one who was 15 weeks pregnant,' the nurse continued. 'She had refused the vaccines because of the lies about them causing infertility and harming her baby.

'Liars killed her, her baby, and robbed a two-year-old little boy of his mommy and sibling. Not to mention robbing a husband of his wife and child.'

F**k the big orange buffoon, DeSantis, Facebook, Fox News, antivaxxers, Magas, Dr. Mercola, Robert Kennedy Jr., all parents who believe these killers over proven science, and ALL other killers who spread anti vaccine lies,' she wrote. 'I can't deal with people right now! I love you guys!'

1. Put these parents in jail and if they have other kids put them in safer homes...

I'm sick of parents treating their children like livestock/chattel that they can destroy at will. FUUUUCK that!

8. Anything that could cause harm should not be protected under the First Amendment.

These intentional lies are no different than yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. Which is not protected free speech. This shit has to be stopped.

9. Was this part of the parents' religious beliefs

or was it just ignorance and very poor decision making?

10. The hospitals should start asking courts to intervene.

Parents refusing emergency medical care for their children is reckless endangerment.

11. Try the parents for negligent homicide.
