Kind of a sad story, tragic really. The people responsible for all this need to pay dearly.

A 12-year-old boy from New Jersey has been vaccinated against Covid after asking for the jab as a present in the aftermath of his father’s death from the virus last year.

Gavin Roberts, who celebrated his 12th birthday on Sunday, had repeatedly asked his mother, Alice Roberts, for the vaccine after the death of his father Charles Roberts from Covid.

Edit: The story about his father's death is odd. He was a 45 year old NJ police officer. The details are sketchy. He contracted covid in April, collapsed in his home and had to be resuscitated, went into ICU, was in hospital 3 weeks, died May 11.
