So FoxNews.com put a story online with the headline: "Texas girl, 4, dies of COVID-19 after being infected by anti-vax mom"
It's the usual, I was anti-vax then something bad happened and now I'm pro-vax. It's hard for me to believe this story. It's completely contrary to the norm for this virus.
"""A 4-year-old Texas girl has died of COVID-19 — which she likely contracted from her mom, a staunch anti-vaxxer, the grieving parent said.
Little Kali Cook
died in her sleep at home in Bacliff last Tuesday, just
five hours after she woke in the early hours with the first signs of a fever, mom Karra Harwood told local media.
"
Kali was perfectly fine, and then she was gone," the shattered mother told the Houston Chronicle. "
It took her so fast."
Harwood said
she had tested positive the previous day, with her and her fiancé, William Tucker, already out of work because they were sick and quarantining at home.
CAN KIDS GET ‘LONG COVID’ AFTER CORONAVIRUS INFECTIONS?
"I tried to stay away from her and didn’t want her and my other kids to get it," she told the Galveston County Daily News of Kali and her brother and 5-month-old sister, both of whom also got infected.
The mom admitted that she now regrets opposing COVID-19 vaccines. In Texas, the vaccination rate is just a fraction over 50%, Johns Hopkins University data shows.
"I was one of the people that was anti, I was against it," she told her local paper of the shots.
"Now, I wish I never was," she admitted.
Kali was the first child to have died of COVID-19 in Galveston County during the pandemic, which has seen nearly 50,000 confirmed cases and more than 470 other deaths there, according to local health officials.
"This is a terrible thing, but I think people need to know about it," area health official Philip Keiser told the Galveston County Daily News of the youngster’s death.
"It’s very important, if your kids are sick, not to say, ‘Oh, they’re going to be OK,’ " Keiser said. "If your kids are sick, go seek out medical care."
Harwood has launched an online fundraiser to help while she and her fiancé are still out of work — and it quickly surpassed their goal of $20,000."""
Again, something about the story just seems odd. There had to be something else besides COVID. I've not read a single story about COVID taking someone within hours of one symptom. Unfortunately FoxNews just reposted a NY Post story and the reporter did a terrible job.
