You Know How This Ends, Right? SF Cop Was On Leave Over Vaccine

And now he's dead.



By Susie Madrak — November 10, 2021
This is sad but also infuriating. Via Sacramento Bee:

A police officer who was placed on leave for missing the city of San Francisco’s deadline to be inoculated has died after being stricken by COVID-19, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Officer Jack Nyce, 46, tested positive on Nov. 2 and died Saturday at a hospital in Manteca, his wife, Melissa Nyce, told the newspaper Monday.

The Chronicle said Melissa Nyce declined to say whether her husband was vaccinated but the vice president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, Lt. Tracy McCray, said Jack Nyce was on a 30-day stint of paid administrative leave because he had not received the vaccination required by the city.

I would say sign me up, but I don't want to be dead.

Police Officers, Fire Figthers, and others should know, and they still deny reality.



Anywho R.I.P.

to think about the consequences of standing his ground after doing his research. I wonder whether he thought it's just like the flu, no need to get treatment. The same day his wife finally got him into a hospital, he died. 2 vaccine shots would have saved his job and probably his life.

so that he'd still have health and life insurance.
Shoulda thought of that too, Officer, before you left your wife and kids.

Unions, love them or hate them, make sure that due process is followed. That will likely save the family from getting no benefits, though I am sure a case will be made about negligence in not taking the vaccine. In the end, if they make a claim on death benefits, they will get them.
