And now he's dead.

This is sad but also infuriating. Via Sacramento Bee:
A police officer who was placed on leave for missing the city of San Franciscos 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.

Shoulda thought of that too, Officer, before you left your wife and kids.
