Israeli man suspends anti-vaxx Facebook group after sister-in-law dies of COVID
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli man has suspended his anti-vaxxer Facebook group after his pregnant sister-in-law, 32, dies of COVID-19.
Osnat Ben Shitrit died of the coronavirus and doctors were unable to save her 30-week fetus in an emergency C-section. The mother of four had no underlying health conditions.
Her brother-in-law tells the Kan public broadcaster: “I formed one of the most successful groups on Facebook against the vaccines. After this incident, I suspended it. When it happens in your backyard, you understand you need to think differently. We understand now the price of the coronavirus.”
Ben Shitrit’s two sisters urge Israelis to get vaccinated.
