An Idaho nurse and mother of two special needs children has died of COVID-19 after refusing to get vaccinated — and urging her loved ones not to get the shot, either.
Natalie Rise, 46, died on August 22, shortly after her unvaccinated mother was also taken to the hospital with COVID.
ICU nurses woke Natalie’s mother up from a medically-induced coma to tell her of her daughter’s passing.
Now Natalie’s brother, Daryl Rise, has quit his job to take care of her two children — and insists that it was misinformation and ‘falling into negative social media’ that killed her.
Natalie Rise, 46, died on August 22, shortly after her unvaccinated mother was also taken to the hospital with COVID
Her brother Daryl said Natalie had fallen pray to ‘misinformation’ and ‘negative social media and bloggers, YouTubers’ about vaccines
Natalie, a registered nurse from Coeur d’Alene, had worked as a home health care worker before quitting to be a stay-at-home-mom to her 10-year-old special-needs twins.
The twins, a son and a daughter, have Joubert syndrome, a genetic disorder that usually includews lack of muscle control, abnormal breathing patterns, sleep apnea, abnormal eye and tongue movements, and low muscle tone.
Her son has undegone several major brain surgeries.
But despite her RN training and two children with medical conditions under her care, Natalie refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
‘She was telling me not to get vaccinated,’ her brother Daryl told CNN. ‘I think it was from misinformation, I think it was falling into negative social media and bloggers, YouTubers.’
Natalie said there hadn’t been enough studies on the vaccine.
Several of her family members did seem to listen to her pleas against the jab, including her mother, who is also unvaccinated.
She leaves behind 10-year-old twins with Joubert syndrome, a genetic disorder that has led to several major brain surgeries for one of the children
ICU nurses woke Natalie’s mother Nancy up from a medically-induced coma to tell her of her daughter’s passing
But in early August, Natalie and Daryl’s mother, Nancy, began feeling ill and having trouble breathing. On August 9, she was hospitalized and then intubated and put in medically-induced coma.
‘I miss my mom right now,’ Natalie wrote on Facebook on August 12. ‘I want to call her, but she’s unable to talk because she’s in a “paralyzed” state at the moment on the ventilator, her lungs are trying to heal. She’s hanging in there!’
Natalie felt sick soon after her mother was hospitalized and also went to Kootenai Health’s emergency room, where she was admitted to the ICU as well.
‘[I] just can’t breathe very well at this point,’ she wrote. ‘Very scary and claustrophobic. This is horrible.’
‘I’m hoping it won’t be very long [that I’m hospitalized]. I’m hoping all it will take is some IV fluids, steroids, rendesevir…’ she added.
‘I was in shock. I didn’t know what’s going to happen or what was going to happen with them and who was going to take care of the children,’ Daryl told KXLY.
‘They thought that this wouldn’t happen to them. That they were protected by masks and hand sanitation. It doesn’t protect you like the vaccine would,’ he added.
While her mother was in a coma, Natalie died ‘right down the hall’ from her. Nurses woke up the older woman to tell her.
Daryl quit his job to take care of the kids during the week, while Natalie’s sister and her husband will take them on weekends
The day after Natalie died, Daryl got his first shot
‘Mom didn’t even know that Natalie was in the hospital, and Natalie had written a letter the night before, to mom hoping she’d be able to go down in the critical care COVID unit to be able to see her, but that never happened,’ Daryl said.
Daryl had fallen pray to some misinformation aboud vaccines, too. He had become ill with COVID last year, and didn’t think he needed to get vaccined — but the day after Natalie died, he got his first shot.
‘It was the hardest decision of my life, you know, am I doing right by God? Am I doing right by Natalie?’ he said. ‘And I got it out of fear.’
‘We’re hearing from all these doctors and professionals who have all this education and they’re basically begging us to get the vaccination,’ he went on.
‘The people that are telling us not to, they’re not as educated as these doctors, and they’re following social media. It doesn’t matter if we’re a donkey or an elephant. It is a personal choice, but the numbers don’t lie.’
His mother, however, is still unsure whether she will get the shot.
Since Natalie’s death, Daryl has quit his job as a truck driver to take care of his neice and nephew.
The children will spend weeks with Daryl to remain in their school district, while Natlaie’s twin sister, Jennifer, and her husband will care for them on weekends.
I’d say a fair amount of those death were due to other causes and not COVID.
That would never happen in the real world.
Agreed!
That makes them sound quite decent and normal. They were even at the Trump rally.
So, what’s your point?
So sorry for your loss.
This sounds unspeakably cruel to me. It makes me doubt the veracity of the entire story.
See post 85 above.
You may be right. Those who are adamantly against the vaccine often have plans to aggressively treat symptoms if they arise so it would seem logical that she tried to get therapeutics before being admitted.
Another thing I found interesting, from another source, is that she died because her heart stopped as she was being intubated. I don’t know if that is a risk of intubation or not but it seems different from what I thought the typical Covid death involved.
I think perhaps more details will come out someday.
No it not. Just more lying by hearsay and hysteric exaggeration
655,000 US die of heart disease every year
About another 600,000 die of cancer every year
650,000 dead in 18 months is not a “catastrophe” it a media manufactured hysteria based on the foolish belief that if everyone just screams in panic hard enough, life can be made risk free,
It cannot.
Total US Cancer deaths annually around 655,000
Total US Heart Disease deaths annually around 600,000
Covid deaths in 18 months, 650,000
Currently, despite 182,000,000 jabs, US Covid weekly death rate is right back where it was March 2020.
So all the hype and hysteria, the economic and travel restrictions, the lockdowns, the mandates etc have accomplished, statistically speaking, nothing in 18 months.
Looking at the Covid trend cycle, Covid deaths will spike again for the next 6 months. Like the Flu, Covid seems to have a seasonality to it.
But that all right, y’all just keep clinging to your fear porn instead of thinking.
Life is full of risks. Working yourselves into panic stricken hysteria about it is not going to keep you safe.
Numbers don’t add up do they!!!
The media scours the internet for single stories like this to scare people. The media is part of the problem. They are in goose-step with their fellow travelers.
If you can’t see that FRiend, you’ve got a problem.
What are the long term side effects of the J&J vaccine? What did you expect the J&J vaccine to do for you when you got it?
Can you quantify “odds of dying significantly less”? (Is there a research paper you have consulted — peer reviewed, etc — with numbers? I’m being serious I like to read). Is it like I have a 0.01% chance of dying from covid this year with no comorbidities if I get the J&J vaccine, but it doubles to 0.02% without the vaccine?
If I recall, Fauci holds the patent for Remdesivir. Between that poison & intubation, she didn’t stand a chance.
Don’t go to the hospital! So many are using as sop.

Very, very sadly, they don’t have to “scour the internet” to find stories such as this. In the last 7 days there have been 10,734 COVID-19 DEATHS in the United States (see link below). The great bulk of these were among the unvaccinated. And these unvaccinated include both those who simply want to be bothered as well as the skeptics.

Yes, I know you won’t believe it but the count you gave in post 136 was wrong.
So are you believing the government? Their numbers? Not me!
Look, I gave you a link to where the numbers came from. You can believe the source or not. You gave no link to where your numbers came from. So I’m assuming you made at least one of them up.
That is that is a very reasonable speculation since the picture shows she was obese, and so many obese covid victims also had a comorbidity of diabetes. Please get a clue on the subject.
