I just can't comprehend why nurses of all ppl won't take their vaccine they have first hand knowledge of what this virus can do yet they're acting like damn fool's this sweet girl die because of carelessness. My condolences to her family.

Just devastating! Poor child. She was doing what her teacher asked her to do. Helpful students like her always do. Why are we risking their lives before vaccination? Condolences to the family on the loss of their precious girl.💔 COVID19 heartbreaking ChildrenWithCovid

She's was a beautiful CHILD!Covid took her,not her weight! Shame on all who said such awful things.

Sad she died but definitely was once again obese. The family saying she was “not unhealthy” well I would say most “healthy” kids her age are half her lbs. sorry truth hurts but the real problem is Child obesity when it comes to Covid deaths the majority of the time.

Living a lie that all can be normal & kids can get back to open classrooms comes at a cost, but continuing on, promises an even bleaker future.

you would think her only job would be a student and leave the nursing or escorting others to the nurse to the damn adult administrators within the school... I would sue the board of Education for a $$$Billion dollars for wrongful death...

My thoughts and prayers for the family. This is why everyone eligible needs to get vaxxed, to give those currently ineligible the best shot of avoiding this. One child lost is too much, especially when the coat of vaccination is so so low. Shame on those too selfish to help.

she doesn't look healthy

Looks like she has underlying health conditions based on looking at that triple chin. They said overweight people were more likely to die if c19 was contracted. Don't be mad at me for pointing out the obvious.
