(89,239 posts)That usually means they were not vaccinated . Especially in this case where she was hospitalized for some time if she WAS vaccinated we would likely have heard about it .
Even those who support getting the vaccines and did get it would want it known if they ended up sick and dying after being vaccinated so more people can try to figure out why that was to help prevent it .

if you have been vaccinated. Something like >99% who have been vaccinated do not die
from C-19.
I bet you she was "a Christian woman" who didn't get the shot because of "her faith."
Is she from the Archie Manning football clan?

However, all of my vaccinated friends practically shouted from the rooftops when they got vaccinated. There have been many, many posts here by people who have been vaccinated. It's just hard for me to believe that she was vaccinated and just didn't mention it to ANYONE. I mean, it was a BFD.
Just my opinion. It's too bad that so many people are willingly and willfully putting themselves and others in harm's way.
