Within 2 Days, His Dad and His Son Were Dead of COVID

Within a span of about 36 hours, a Pennsylvania restaurant owner lost both his father and his son to COVID-19. Alan Collins Sr., who was almost 72 and was triply vaccinated, died at a Pittsburgh hospital Sept. 28, Alan Collins Jr. tells CNN. Collins' son, Alan David Brown Sr., died the following day. The 35-year-old father of four was not vaccinated, his dad says. The two will also be buried one day apart, WPXI reports.

While Brown also lived in the Pittsburgh area, grandson and grandfather did not live together, and Collins, who is vaccinated, says it was a coincidence both got infected around the same time. Brown was infected after his young son came home from school with the virus, WTAE reports. Collins' dad was a kidney transplant recipient, which Collins believes may have made him more vulnerable to COVID despite having gotten a booster dose of the vaccine after his initial two doses.

As for Brown, his widow says he changed his stance on the vaccine after he got sick: "People need to put their masks on," she says. "People need to get vaccinated." A GoFundMe campaign set up for her and the couple's four children has raised nearly $20,000 so far.

1. Two brothers named "Alan"?

2. I tried to decipher the pedigree and it's just a tangle the way they describe it.

I know transplant recipients have to stay on powerful immunosuppresants forever, so that probably contributed to the older guy's demise, in addition to the fact that kids can't be vaccinated and he had a small child bring COVID home.

The 35 year old, it was his own fault.

3. People on immuno suppressant drugs

might not develop antibodies even if they get the two doses of vaccine. Some will develop antibodies after a third dose, but even then not all do. So the father might have not been immune even after a booster.

4. I think it was father, son and grandson all named Alan.
