Syracuse, N.Y. — A 64-year-old woman and her 30-year-old son - who both had Covid-19 - died a few minutes apart this week in Syracuse.

Jacqueline A. Alpeter and James C. Alpeter III, who both lived in Syracuse, died Tuesday while being treated at Crouse Hospital in Syracuse, according to their joint obituary.

“So saddened by the sudden passing of Jackie Alpeter and son Jimmy within minutes of each other,” James Roger Farley wrote on Facebook on Thursday. Farley is former pastor of Family Worship Center in Clay. “Pastored the Alpeter family for over 50 years. Covid is demonic.”


A classmate of James Alpeter, husband of Jacqueline and father of James III, commented Tuesday on Facebook that they both had died of Covid.

“Our hearts are wrenching and our prayers (are) for you brother,” the man wrote.

Farley, contacted by Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard Friday, declined to comment on the two deaths. The Alpeter family declined Friday to discuss the deaths, other than to say they died after a brief illness.

Jacqueline posted in June a photo of herself with these words around it: “I’m not having the vaccine. My body, My choice.” In May she posted a photo of herself and the words “I trust my immune system not an experimental vaccine. My DNA, My Choice.”

Jacqueline worked at Syracuse University from 1983 to 2009, according to her obituary. She was listed as library technician in the university’s library, according to Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard archives.


James III was a graduate of East Syracuse Minoa High School in 2011, the obituary said.

"Covid is demonic."



No, Pastor Farley. It's just a virus (humans are made up of trillions of viruses*) that is highly likely to replicate itself and wreck havoc in your unvaccinated parishioners who contract it. Spread the word from a science book why don't ya? You might literally help save a life or two.

*Scientists' rapidly expanding knowledge makes it clear that we are not made up primarily of “human” cells that are occasionally invaded by microbes; our body is really a superorganism of cohabitating cells, bacteria, fungi and most numerous of all: viruses.

[Skittles]

1. I wonder how many people they passed it on to

fucking idiots

[Captain Zero]

4. Yeah. I'm only sorry that they were passing it

Around to others. They don't have a right to do that with Covid, VD, or any other virus.

[RicROC]

2. I'll bet the pastor counseled them to avoid the vaccine.

So, he misled them and I would call his actions demonic.

[benfranklin1776]

26. Indeed.

He is the quintessential wolf in sheeps clothing. What’s demonic is leading your flock to horrific slaughter by a virus that they have been given the tools to survive.

[bullwinkle428]

31. My gut reaction - he probably followed up the "COVID is demonic" comment with,

"but I think the vaccine is worse!"

[Deuxcents]

3. She's dead

And so is her son b/c they chose to die. Yes, a good question might be how many they infected

[Rhiannon12866]

5. No, lady, it's not "your choice," chances are you passed it on to your now deceased son.

And likely many others.

[3825-87867]

6. This is almost

intentional suicide when you get right down to it.

If they are insured, does their insurance pay death benefits?

If I put a gun to my head and pull the trigger or intentionally drive off a bridge or into a tree my insurance won't pay benefits to my dependents. They may not even pay funeral costs.

These things are going to sky rocket the costs of health care and insurance for the rest of us.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

9. Actually, it does depend on how the particular policy is written.

Many simply have a two or three year exclusion of benefits for suicide, after which the dependents/survivors will get the insurance.

And it's really not that an increase in health care costs will occur, but that so many are leaving direct patient care because of this.

[dchill]

7. So, therefore, vaccines are angelic.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. My main question is,

if they had so little trust in science, then what the fuck were either of them doing in a hospital? Trust your immune system? Then stay home and let the hospital care for those who truly deserve care. I'm heartily sick of reading about someone having a heart attack, going to the local emergency room, but having to wait in a hallway for two or three days while unvaccinated idiots get care.

[SergeStorms]

25. They all have an epiphany...

of sorts. When you get sick to the point of having difficulty drawing a breath of air, and all of your prayers fail you, science becomes the very next, and only, recourse. Their god had forsaken them. Science becomes your new god almost instantaneously.

Yes, they both made their own choice, but far too late for science to help.

[JI7]

10. Notice none if them hesitate to go to a hospital when

they start feeling sick. Even though they ignored what professionals that work there said about covid.

[PTWB]

11. Fantastic material for...

Sorry Anti Vaxxer

[SergeStorms]

27. That site must be....

getting full very quickly. If it isn't, it soon will be.

There's going to be a crush of new entrants in the next few months, after the holidays conclude, and the virus starts reaping souls at an unheard of pace.

More job opportunities. They'll have to hire more help just to keep up with the new names.

[Initech]

35. Also definite Herman Cain Award winners.

[SayItLoud]

12. I shrug my shoulders and don't even think "thoughts and prayers" any more. Just bye bye. NT.

[sop]

13. My neighborhood is full of "Faith, Not Fear" lawn placards, displayed by anti-vaxxers to proclaim

their belief God will protect them from the Covid-19 virus, not man-made vaccines. Their obstinacy reminds me of the parable of the drowning man, a story about a devoutly Christian man who refuses several rescue attempts in the face of rising floodwaters, each time telling his would-be rescuers "God will save me." After turning down the last rescue effort, the man drowns in the flood.

After his death the man stands before God and asks why he allowed him to die. God responds that he sent all the rescuers to the man's aid, but he refused the help. Covid vaccines are God's way of helping these folks, but they're too stupid to realize it.

[bullwinkle428]

32. The "drowning man" story is one of my favorite jokes ever, and the parallels

to the vaccine could not be any clearer.

[3catwoman3]

14. You pays your...

...money, you takes your choice.

I'm sure she did her own research, and now she's been owned by COVID-19.

[IronLionZion]

15. And how many unvaccinated congregation people would be next

since these folks would have all come into close contact with each other. The anti-vax church crown is getting it hard. Maybe COVID is the rapture

[NickB79]

17. Funny how not being able to breath sends anti-vaxxers running to hospitals

Hospitals full of all those vaccine-pushing doctors.

[liberalla]

18. It's unfortunate, preventable (most likely), but certainly NOT demonic!

You know what it was? It was predictable!

[Evolve Dammit]

19. A wave is coming, and they will die by the thousands. "Dem Hoax" "Kung Flu" "Magically Going Away"

Yeah that all helped. May he be indicted for manslaughter. Did not need to be like this, but his followers were encouraged to defy reality and science. They still are. To the grave.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. So far, Omicron is not a killer.

That's important.

[LisaL]

34. If it were human, it would be considered a serial killer already.

People have died from it.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

36. Have they? Everything I've seen says that Omicron is highly transmissable,

but hardly anyone even winds up in hospital. In South Africa, hospitalizations dropped dramatically with Omicron. So perhaps some have died, but nothing like the numbers with Delta.

[Thtwudbeme]

37. Yes- people are dying from it

We are already buying KN95 masks again, and carrying hand sanitizer.

I have a dental appointment on Tuesday, and am nervous about it.

Both of us have had our boosters.

This is not going to be a bad "cold season" by any stretch of the imagination.

On edit- sorry- forgot to add my link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2021/12/18/7-deaths-from-omicron-covid-19-coronavirus-variant-in-uk-showing-its-not-the-omicold/?sh=402bc7d52023

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

39. I've been wearing my KN95 masks all along, myself. No change there.

And even if I'm wrongly underplaying Omicron's severity, I am not at all saying it's like a cold. Covid is not a cold, even in its mildest form.

[LisaL]

41. Hardly anyone ends up in the hospital?

That's news for UK. Their hospital admissions are going up. And UK is reporting deaths from omicron.

[Walleye]

20. The devil is getting a bum rap here

[BobTheSubgenius]

21. "I'd rather die than admit a Democrat might have been right after all."

Well, you got your wish, stupid lady.

[Judi Lynn]

23. What a shame for them.

From their obituary:
. . . . Jacqueline A. Alpeter James C. Alpeter III December 14, 2021 Jacqueline A. Alpeter, 64 and her son James C. Alpeter III, 30, both left on Tuesday, December 14 from Crouse Hospital to dine and live forever with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in a far green country . . . .

[SergeStorms]

28. "To dine with their lord and savior".

St. Peter is going to require a mask at the pearly gates. Jesus don't want no COVID.

[elias7]

24. My body, my choice. Polio, small pox, measles, etc

Would not have been eradicated and/or squelched for the past 60 yrs if she and her ilk was making decisions back then.

[BidenRocks]

30. Buh Bye!

No thoughts or prayers.
I kinda hope they suffered.
My bad.

[RussBLib]

33. my body, my choice

Texas women hear that and seethe. Well, most do.

[Brainfodder]

38. Your choice your death, Bubye!

OOF let alone sympathy for liberty pride morons even after 750,000+ deaths, you don't RUSH willingly to get a free vaccine for the issue:

Another stupid prize winner!

[BradAllison]

40. Great choice Jacqueline

You really hit that one out of the park.

[DFW]

42. Your body, your choice, yes. But other people's bodies--NOT your choice.

It's perverse that anti-vaxxers are deliberately using the phrase of those who advocate abortion rights. Abortion is not contagious (I wish abortion RIGHTS were).
