A heartbroken family have urged everyone to get the vaccine after their 'fit and healthy' dad died of Covid-19. Stephen Doyle, aged 45, sent a devastating message to the mother of his children as he lay dying in hospital.
Stephen had not received the jab but according to his anguished family, was 'fit and healthy' before he fell ill with the virus, as reported by Wales Online.He sadly passed away on January 3, 2022.
His cousin Michelle Pierce, a nurse practitioner at Llandudno Hospital in Wales, spoke out on behalf of the family. She said they wanted people to realise coronavirus was affecting younger, healthy people who haven’t been vaccinated – and their families too.Michelle, 54, said: “When Stephen was in hospital he texted his former partner Nichola and said: ‘I’m getting the jabs as soon as I can’.“He said he never wanted to go through this again.
Sadly, he never got the chance to get vaccinated. It was too late for him.“He was against the vaccination before he went in and I would say he was influenced by all the talk on social media.“He had no underlying health conditions.
