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.
