anti-vaxer, covid denying son and father. Son is dead. Father in bad shape

Reluctantly puts it back on but dies anyway in Latina




(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 24 - A 28-year-old Italian anti-vaxxer died in Latina south of Rome at the weekend after tearing off his oxygen mask saying that he didn't have the COVID that killed him.
He reluctantly put the mask back on again as his condition worsened bu he died anyway, at Latina's Santa Maria Goretti Hospital.
The man was from nearby Terracina, a coastal resort frequented by well-to-do Romans.
The man's 55-yar-old father, also an anti-vaxxer, is in serious condition and intubated in hospital. (ANSA).

An anti-vaxxer has died of Covid-19 after tearing off his oxygen mask and insisting he did not have the disease, while being treated at a hospital in Italy.

The man, named as Luigi Cossellu by local media and who was admitted on January 16, reportedly denied the existence of Covid-19 and had refused to get the vaccine.

Doctors immediately recognised the severity of the 28-year-old's condition upon his arrival at the Santa Maria Goretti Hospital in Latina, found south of Rome.

According to Italy24news, both men refused to get their Covid-19 vaccinations.

They are like short story characters who jump off the tenth story roof of a building because they don’t believe there is such a thing as gravity.

"look."

So much ignorance, worldwide, but I have to think the US is leading the way on that score.
