3. He should have been first in line for the vaccine...

[applegrove]

4. I think the old were in Great Britain. Am i mistaken? You can still get

Covid with a vaccine.

5. They couldn't vaccinate him.

A spokeswoman for Mr. Moore’s family told the BBC that he had not yet been vaccinated because of the medication he was taking for his pneumonia.

8. not good...

never good.

9. I read about him earlier today, and burst into tears.

I know he's 100 years old, but when it's his time, he deserves to go in his sleep, peacefully. Not from some horrid disease.

I absolutely adore this man, and what he has done.

18. I hear you.

11. Damn this virus.

Damn you Donald Trump.

12. His family took him on a plane at Xmas to the Caribbean..

Barbados...

He could have been exposed anywhere along the way...it's about a 9hr flight from London to Barbados...and then back..

[My Pet Orangutan]

19. They killed him.

I would not be flying a 100 year old around the world, with - or without the pandemic.

Lethal insanity.

[HipChick]

22. I thought so at first but

then I remember a friend that asked to be driven around the island...she had stage 4 cancer

It was something she always wanted to do, she died a few weeks later.....It was only then did I understand why her daughter took her on that trip...

[My Pet Orangutan]

24. If someone with stage 4 cancer wants to be driven around -

that's a last request. Not exactly the same as flying a 'national treasure' thousands of miles away for a sun and sea photo op, with the kids clutching his coattails.

England was on full lockdown over Christmas - still is. Even without the risk to Tom's health, this is totally wrongheaded. The rules don't apply to philanthropist-celebrities? This UK winter is bitterly cold. 100,00 have died. Grandparents can't visit their kids or grandchildren. But hey, Tom's kids can take him to the tropics to take in Pina-Coladas under a beach umbrella? Fail.

13. We're pulling for you, Sir! ❤️

😥😥😥😥 noooo

[COL Mustard]

15. Salute!

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Oh, no! Please get through this.

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. I saw this on the news tonight. He inspired another very elderly veteran here to do the same thing.

Raised something in the 6-figure range for children's health. I'm very, very much pulling for Captain Tom. We have a local hero because of him, who is definitely a compatriot. He is currently 101.

[karin_sj]

20. This is so sad

How could his family be so stupid and irresponsible?

[applegrove]

21. It could easily be a mistake. Especially with the new varient being more

virulent.

[a la izquierda]

23. I'm sure this will be the top story...

on the BBC Breakfast. I hope he survives.
A friend of my family just turned 107. She survived Covid earlier last year (https://eu.app.com/story/news/health/2020/05/15/coronavirus-nj-hazlet-woman-106-beats-covid-19/5193680002/). Hopefully Capt Sir Tom has the same good fortune.

25. Bless you, Captain Tom.
