‘I wish I’d got the shot’: Dad who died of COVID along with wife, leaving 4 kids

An unvaccinated Virginia couple in their 40s recently died of COVID-19, leaving behind four children — and the dad with one tragic regret before he succumbed.

“He called me up and said, ‘Mom, I love you, and I wish that I’d got the shot,’” said Terry Mitchem, the mom of Kevin Mitchem, to Washington DC’s NBC 4.

She and other relatives of Kevin and his late wife Misty are now urging those who have to be vaccinated to get immunized.

“Please get it,” Kevin’s father, Don Mitchem, told the station through tears.

Great, we agree, you list three preventable deaths. Being vaccinated completes the fourth. What point does it cease to be fun to be someone with no imagination or knowledge — you likely are the SME for that question.

Yeah sure, buddy, just keep believing that emptying the trash at a hospital makes you decision-maker for everyone in the world.

Your arrogance is only exceeded by your stupidity.

You’re an ass.

Shaming those who choose healthcare decisions different from yours ... is despicable. I suppose you relish stories like this, too.

And I say this as one who has received the vaccination. The thing is, I don’t mock those who choose not to vaccinate.

Did you think last year that this year you would turn out to be such a nasty and arrogant person?

One of those would have been more than enough.

Remember the fake military guy from years back - "Deep In The Hurtgen Forest"?

My nickname for a certain fake doctor on FR is "Deep In The Gassy Stool"...

One time, at band camp......

My nephew was drowning and as he was drowning he yelled out: “Tell my mom I wish I had learned to swim!”

Oh, climb down off your pedestal. You’re not impressing anyone, except maybe Merck or Pfizer or whoever it is you’re shilling for.

We’re laughing with you.

Well, sort of….😂😄🤣

But, but....it’s 100% effective at preventing death and hospitalization!! C’mon, man.

Flashback.....

“The numbers Americans should be emphasising are that all three vaccines have proven 100 per cent effective at preventing deaths. The risk of hospitalisation also plummets to virtually zero for people who receive the vaccine”

Remember well.

I think this one has been whiffing too much of his own gas.

[kiryandil]

Ohnoes!!!

Deep In The Gassy Stool is ANGWY with you!!

[see post #65 for an explanation]

[Henchster]

I think I hit a sore spot - gassy has passed out.

Here is a participation trophy....now go sit down with the other preschoolers and try to finger paint.

Condescension is not a winning argument.

My dad called guys like him "gorpers".

Fart in the bathtub, and bite the bubbles...

[Allegra]

LMAO! Good nickname. 😄🤣😂 (And I do remember Deep In The Hurtgen Forest from way back when.)

[kiryandil]

Too much methane.

[kiryandil]

I carpet-bombed them in post #21...

[Jane Long]

You obviously hit a truth bomb nerve! 😂 👍🏼

Oh look, there is another freezer who thinks her or she is relevant and posts about 9 anecdotal records that thinks proves its point. Amazing. The cutting and pasting makes them all worthy of an A+ in preschool. Good little useful idiots spreading lies that they are.

The original post was also an anecdote in the other direction. Does that make the O.P. preschool useful idiot?

At some point, the number of "anecdotes" collectively belies the notion that deaths or serious illness related to the shot or to getting the CCP virus after the shot is as rare as was originally claimed. For different people the number of anecdotes needed to be considered real data is different.

Although your post #5 was meant to be humorous, I also find it to be a straw man for many of us who will not be getting a shot, and many of us make no personal insults to fellow freepers (Fauci et al are fair game).

I do not like the role that fetal cell lines have played in the development of these treatments. I also believe that there might be some efficacy in the short term in lessening the effects of the virus. On the other hand, there is some risk, I do not know how much, of being injured from the shot itself (blood clots, etc.)

EVEN IF the actual odds of hurting myself from the shot is less than the likelihood of suffering seriously from the CCP virus without a shot, I would rather be hurt by a disease that I had no intention of catching, than to actively put something in my body that caused the problem. My wife agrees with me and feels the same way. Biden and Fauci trying to coerce me Don Corleone style into making the "right" decision only makes me more resolute.

As a Freeper, I hope you can agree that it will be difficult to have a fruitful analysis of all arguments while dissenters are shut up and people are threatened with loss of livelihood and the right to live a normal life if they don't capitulate.
