Before he went on a ventilator, John Eyers was reportedly « beating himself up » over not getting vaccinated.
British fitness enthusiast John Eyers, who died of COVID-19, didn’t want to get vaccinated, in part because he considered it an experiment, but he paid the « ultimate price » for a « bad decision, » according to his sister. Before he was hospitalized, Eyers,42, had no known preexisting conditions, climbed mountains and competed in triathlons. The 42-year-old’s family believes he would have survived COVID-19 if he’d been vaccinated, and his twin sister, Jenny McCann, said the family got into an argument about inoculations about a month and a half before he died. « John started saying really crazy things that didn’t make sense, » McCann told The Guardian. « About how people were only getting the vaccine for free McDonald’s, and there was formaldehyde in it…. He kept saying: ‘I won’t be a guinea pig.' » Eyers died of COVID-19 in July. McCann wrote on Twitter that her brother believed he would be « OK » if he contracted the disease.
