Leading Israeli opponent of coronavirus vaccines dies of COVID-19

A vocal opponent of vaccines against coronavirus dies after he was hospitalized in serious condition with COVID-19.

Hai Shoulian remained defiantly opposed to vaccines until his death, urging fellow anti-vaxxers “to continue fighting” and resisting government “coercion” in a Facebook post two days ago that included a photo of him hooked up to an oxygen concentrator.

“The situation is most critical. I’m not capable of speaking or responding to people. I have no oxygen and am unable to stabilize,” he wrote. “A lack of oxygen is a terrible thing.”

In comments on the post, some of his followers claimed, without proof, that Shoulian was killed by the pro-vaccine Israeli government in an effort to silence him.
