29 Times Anti-Vaxxers Made Headlines For Regretting Not Getting The Vaccine While They Still Could
Recently, one piece of data has gotten into the spotlight: 99.5% of all the people dying from COVID-19 in the US are those still unvaccinated. Moreover, infections in fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 107,000 hospitalizations from coronavirus, which makes it about 1.1%. It’s now agreed that the numbers serve as staggering proof of just how effective the vaccines have been.
And although CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a White House briefing in June that the vaccine is so effective that “nearly every death, especially among adults, due to COVID-19, is, at this point, entirely preventable,” many people still haven't gotten a shot. In fact, just under 50% of the American population has been vaccinated as of mid-July 2021. Moreover, the US supply of vaccines is so abundant and demand for them has dropped so much that too many doses sit unused.
Seeing unvaccinated people suffering from COVID-19 complications and dying from it is especially tragic when you know that every death could have been prevented. So no wonder many vaccine critics have made it to the headlines for finally regretting not getting a vaccine earlier, but sadly, often it’s all too late.

If idiot mom had the family vaccinated (those eligible anyway) it might have prevented her poor child from becoming another statistic.
"You can see it dawn on them that they potentially made the biggest mistake of their lives," the harrowing words by Samantha Batt-Rawden, a British senior intensive care doctor and the president of the Doctors' Association UK, reflect the tragic situation.
"You know that there is something that the patient could have had which would have meant their life is not at risk, and it is a question we get asked a lot," she added referring to the available COVID-19 vaccines. She also overheard numerous sorrows from family members of the patients that refused to get a potentially life-saving vaccine.
Many similar statements were made by ICU doctors across Europe and the US as the pace of vaccination has dropped dramatically.

It makes me angry that he was eligible for a double-lung transplant over the patients who have potentially waiting for years and had a condition that was not preventable by a vaccine.

Yet we all know that the next time she needs a vaccination she'll refuse because she had one vaccination and didn't end up autistic and that's all the risk she's going to take in her lifetime.
The same drop in vaccination and an alarming rise of cases in unvaccinated patients is sweeping across the US. But according to experts, the coronavirus deaths that are now dubbed ‘preventable’ will continue, with unvaccinated pockets of the nation having outbreaks as soon as the fall season sets in. According to AP News, Ali Mokdad, a professor of health metrics sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, said modeling suggests the nation will hit 1,000 deaths per day again next year.
Meanwhile, while the growing number of tragic stories about unvaccinated people dying may indeed inspire skeptics to finally get their jabs, young adults may be better motivated by a wish to protect their closed ones, argues David Michaels, who’s an epidemiologist at George Washington University. Young adults are the group considered least likely to get vaccinated.
In the White House briefing in June, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky stated: “COVID-19 vaccines are available for everyone ages 12 and up.” According to her, “They are nearly 100% effective against severe disease and death—meaning nearly every death due to COVID-19 is particularly tragic, because nearly every death, especially among adults, due to COVID-19 is at this point entirely preventable."
Dr. Anthony Fauci from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases confirmed to CNN that those still dying from COVID-19 in the US are "overwhelmingly" unvaccinated. So there's enough overwhelming evidence to conclude that people have knowingly put themselves in harm's way during this lethal pandemic.
This fact, of course, doesn’t make their deaths any less tragic and they should serve as an urgent reminder that up until the point of falling victim to the now-spreading Delta variant of COVID-19, vaccination is the only way to keep yourself and your family members safe before it’s too late.

Surprise!!! Thoughts, prayers and incense mean nothing to a non-religious virus. Should have tried converting the virus first.

Calling a killer virus with over 4 million deaths to its name, "a bug" is kind of condescending.

There lies the rub. Crippled hospitals. You might have to delay treatment for your heart attack because the ambulances and hospitals are full of idiots who couldn't grasp the idea that vaccines are good and COVID is bad. It makes me wonder how many people have died waiting for treatment because the hospital was packed with idiots. In fact, it does more than make me wonder, it makes me bloody annoyed.

I can no longer feel sympathy for these people. They have heard the same information everyone has. They have seen the same devastating sights everyone has. They have the same facts everyone has. They chose to be brainless. They only regret and believe it's real when it affects them personally? Nope. No sympathy whatsoever.

This past year has brought to light that too many people believe personal liberty excludes them from personal responsibility. A side effect of the miracles of the modern world is we have multiple generations who don't truly understand how horrible death, war, and disease are to all of us. The baby boomers were the first generation in the history of the world where you were likely to reach adulthood without having a sibling die due to battle or bug. The world made the polio vaccine mandatory because they had seen the atrocities it did to a body and wanted no one to ever suffer that again. 60 years later when a majority of people have never seen how bad it is, it becomes acceptable to claim stopping it should be a personal choice. The purpose of civilization is for us to come together and make sacrifices to make us all stronger. I claim this 1/4 acre lawn as mine instead of the whole world so we don't kill each other. Responsibility trumps personal liberties when people die.

Yup. All of these Anti-Vaxxers can boast around and yell and shout about how vaccines are poison, but when they are forced into reality they have nowhere else to run

Serves them right when they get pwned by a virus. The problem is, they spread it to others, so if Mr. Antivaxx gives someone else COVID-19 and that person dies, Mr. Antivaxx has blood on his hands.
