Tragically, a lot of them!

From pastors and politicians to media personalities and physicians, these folks were unvaccinated and died with COVID.

This list, while certainly not all inclusive, includes:

If you have an unvaccinated friend or family member who died with COVID, whose information were they sharing and talking about? Who influenced them to skip or delay getting vaccinated and protected?
