Fitness Enthusiast Who Died of COVID Didn't Want to Be 'Guinea Pig' With Vaccine
British fitness enthusiast John Eyers, who died of COVID-19, didn't want to get vaccinated, in part because he considered it an experiment, but he paid the "ultimate price" for a "bad decision," according to his sister.
Before he was hospitalized, Eyers, 42, had no known preexisting conditions, climbed mountains and competed in triathlons. The 42-year-old's family believes he would have survived COVID-19 if he'd been vaccinated, and his twin sister, Jenny McCann, said the family got into an argument about inoculations about a month and a half before he died.
"John started saying really crazy things that didn't make sense," McCann told The Guardian. "About how people were only getting the vaccine for free McDonald's, and there was formaldehyde in it.... He kept saying: 'I won't be a guinea pig.'"
Eyers died of COVID-19 in July. McCann wrote on Twitter that her brother believed he would be "OK" if he contracted the disease. Given his penchant for staying healthy, she said, her brother thought he'd have a mild illness, but he ended up in the hospital "pumped full of every drug."
Eyers came down with an extremely severe case of COVID-19, which landed him in the intensive care unit (ICU). McCann told The Guardian that her brother regretted not getting vaccinated and that doctors said he was "beating himself up so much" before they put him on a ventilator.
