fake news.Two days after arriving at a Fredericksburg, Va., hospital with covid-19 in September, Misty Mitchem was put on a ventilator. Another two days later, she died.
Mistys husband, Kevin Mitchem, got the news as he arrived at a separate hospital with an unshakable cough. He also had covid-19, and within a week or so he couldnt breathe on his own, Kevins younger brother, Mike Mitchem, told The Washington Post.
Kevin died on Oct. 8, orphaning the four children he and Misty had raised together and leaving behind a 22-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. But before he did, he expressed regret that he had not been immunized.
His last words to my mom were, Mom, I love you. I wish I would have got the shot, Mike Mitchem told The Post.

Since the Mitchems deaths have made headlines, Mike Mitchem said, almost a dozen people have reached out to tell him they have been vaccinated because they heard Kevin and Mistys story. Yet hes also noticed that others online have called the story fake news.

(1,393 posts)They love how stupid they are, walking around with constant smirks that hide their low self-esteem, along with the goatee and statements all over everything like "don't tread on me".
It's horribly cruel to say it but humanity is better of every time one of them dies. They want to spread deadly disease, want to resurrect the confederacy, want to see people suffer and are proud to shove it in your face whenever a person has the misfortune to interact with one of them.
