Why get vaccinated against Covid? Here’s why

Two obituaries bearing the same last names on the same day, June 25, in the Northern Virginia Daily should have given non-vaccinated people pause upon reading – the deaths, just three days apart, were for a mother and her son, both taken by the COVID- 19 virus within three days of each other.

The “obits” were for Carol Lee Caldwell Cunius of Basye, who died May 24, and Scott Alexander Cunius of Winchester, who died May 27. Their joint memorial service will be held July 10 at Mount Hermon United Methodist Church in Mt. Jackson, Va.

A cautionary note was included in the mother’s death notice:

PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR LOVED ONES TO GET VACCINATED!
