Anti-vaccine couple, in their 40s, die from COVID-19 and leave behind five kids: Husband repents on deathbed 'Mom, I love you and I wish that I'd got the shot'

A Virginia couple in their 40s who refused pleas from their family to get the COVID-19 vaccine because they read misinformation online passed away from the disease within two weeks of each other, leaving behind five children and an infant grandson.

High school sweethearts Kevin, 48, and Misty Mitchem, 46, regretted not taking the vaccine just before they died, according to their bereaved loved ones.

Misty Mitchem, a medical transcriptionist by trade, declined to get the shot even though she had diabetes.

'He called me up [from the hospital] and said, "Mom, I love you and I wish that I’d got the shot",' Kevin's mother, Terry Mitchem, told NBC Washington.

'Of course I told him, "It's past. You can't do anything about it".'

The couple is survived by their four young children: Riley, 17; Leah, 14; and twins Taylor and Aiden, 11.

Kevin Mitchem had one daughter, Angel, 22, from a previous relationship. Angel is the mother of Lincoln, who will turn two in November.

High school sweethearts Kevin, 48, and Misty Mitchem, 46, of Stafford Count, Virginia, regretted not taking the vaccine just before they died, according to their bereaved loved ones. Misty died on September 23. Kevin passed away on October 8.

Kevin Mitchem is survived by an adult child from a previous relationship and four young children from his marriage to Misty.

After their parents’ deaths, the four younger children went to live with an aunt and uncle in South Carolina, according to Kevin’s brother, Mike Mitchem of Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

'Both our families have been turned upside down,' Mike Mitchem told the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

‘They say she’s got COVID. They automatically put her on a ventilator she was so bad.’

Doctors also said that her kidneys were only functioning at 50 percent.

The next day, Kevin Mitchem was admitted to the same hospital. By the time he was taken in for treatment, the family was told that Misty Mitchem might have fewer than 24 hours to live.

Awesome hospital

My daughter is an ER nurse. Hospitals were not inundated during the Covid outbreak (except for insane triage and hazmat suit protocols). Nurses and doctors were making Tik Tok videos!?

About as believable as...

“Unvaxed man dies in prison cell while on suicide watch as all security cameras failed at the same instant”

[USCG SimTech]

The only statistic that is an accurate measure of COVID19 effects is deaths where the victim had ZERO (that’s ZERO) prior co-morbidity conditions. Everything else is just illness as coronaviruses have been around for more than 60 years as proven by real science investigation. Coronavirus is assumed to have existed before Man existed.

[Ikeon]

Thank God Im not part of that guys family. NONE of my family has begged me to take the vax on either side!!

That or being an a-hole my whole life ( I was the kid who would blurt out things like "grandma smells") Has finally paid off because they dont bother me much with family drama. P.s. Ive learned to ignore things more.

[maddog55]

Not buying the story either. Funny how all these people that don’t get the death jab wish they had got it on their death bed.

How about a Dr treating the disease with everything that’s available.

[lastchance]

I agree. The wife who had diabetes probably should have gotten the vaccine but that decision did not need to be a death sentence. A caring physician would have worked with her on a protocol to keep her from getting the virus and treatments to stave off a more severe case. The same should have happened for the husband.

[Adder]

most people are now able to lead reasonably normal lives despite the silly masks.

Then why are we still wearing them and being hectored?

These “vaxes” are smoke and mirrors for a virus that runs its course.

[lastchance]

I am going to modify my statement. I believe patients who test positive and are not yet severely ill enough to be admitted to ICU for intense intervention are being abandoned to their own fate by a medical system that refuses to acknowledge early treatments exist. Part of this is ignorance. But I think a good part of it is a kind of punishment for refusing to get vaccinated.

[MayflowerMadam]

LOL! The people who write this pro-vax fear porn crack me up. Exactly like Hallmark movies. There’s a basic formula, and names, locations, etc., are changed.

“If true, would be an amazing scoop for a Project Veritas”

Project Veritas has exposed SO MUCH over the years, and their info is irrefutable. But the crimes they expose continue, no matter how much proof there is.

What will the military vaccine mandate do to you?

“Latest UK PHE Vaccine Surveillance Report figures on Covid cases show that doubly vaccinated 40-70 year olds have lost 40% of their immune system capability compared to unvaccinated people. Their immune systems are deteriorating at around 5% per week (between 2.7% and 8.7%). If this continues then 30-50 year olds will have 100% immune system degradation, zero viral defense by Christmas and all doubly vaccinated people over 30 will have lost their immune systems by March next year.

By a concerned reader”

BY A CONCERNED READER?

I looked at the article and looked thru the links that “concerned reader” provided at the links. The charts are showing lost immunity to Covid from time of initial injections. That is something we do all know something about.

The charts don’t say anything about loss of total immune functions to all “infectious diseases and cancers”. The “concerned reader” has taken the covid immunity data and posited the data as pertaining to rising ADE not just to covid 19 but also is claiming, based on the covid data, that the vaxxes are causing an AIDS like syndrome in which everyone vaxxed will lose total immunity to everything...cancers, viruses, bacteria..ect.

Wow...the charts are showing from the UK’s own records loss of immunity to covid only. From these, “concerned reader”, the writer of the article has spun an unsupported premise of mass death and illness by Christmas...cuased by “aids like” sickness. What a deceptive fraudulent use of data!!

Secret agent...note the title of the article...”A comparison of official Government reports suggest the Fully Vaccinated are developing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome”

AIDS is a different kettle of fish from ADE, the phenomena you were talking about. The charts don’t even talk about ADE, that is those charts linked to in the article. The Article is a mishmash and the writer..”a concerned reader” safely anonymous, and THE EXPOSE, the UK based internet news source, appears to be more of a yellow journalism Alex Jones type affair.

True, but are they actually vaccines, in the narrow sense of the word?

What makes something a vaccine? In the narrow sense of the word?

[BobL]

I just want to know how they’re managing to take out people like this. They’re in their 40s, so their odds of dying from the virus is about 1 in a 1000 (if they get the virus), yet both die from the virus? Hmmm...

[WLusvardi]

Dr. Henry Beiler, MD, stated long ago that if you eat protein, starch and sugar when you get a cold, it could morph into a potentially deadly respiratory virus. Feed a cold, starve a fever.

[rlmorel]

Though you state the case for vaccines in a reasonable way which I agree with, the fundamental issue in this case is not whether the vaccine works or doesn't work.

The real issue is whether a government can force a citizen against their will to submit to an invasive medical procedure except in extreme cases, and even then.

A government that can force to you submit to an invasive medical procedure, quarantine, limit on freedom of movement or association, or shut down a private business for a pathogen with a fatality risk comparable to COVID-19 has no limitation on what it can force citizens to do.

Or what it will do to them.

If COVID-19 had a fatality rate of even 10-20% (never mind 30-50% which Smallpox or Bubonic Plague approach or exceed) we wouldn't be having these kinds of discussions.

If COVID-19 were that deadly, people would be clamoring for a vaccine, any vaccine (even one that had a 40% success rate and carried serious side effects) we would be voluntarily quarantining, and even barricading ourselves in our domiciles which we would protect with firearms from unwanted infected people (which in this case could be both vaccinated and unvaccinated people)

But COVID-19 is NOT that pathogen.

Bottom Line: We should protect those who need it and wish to be protected, and those who are vulnerable and unable to make the choice themselves. And those protections should range from quarantines and vaccines to effective treatments, whatever is available.
