Megan Blankenbiller used some of her last words to ask other people to get vaccinated, so as not to make the same mistake she made.
“I shouldn’t have waited,” he said between breaths in his latest video, posted from a hospital room on Aug. 15.
“He’s going to look for it. Don’t wait. He’s going to look for it. Because I hope that if you get it you won’t end up in the hospital like me,” he told his thousands of followers.
The video has been viewed over a million times.
Blankenbiller said he was not anti-vax. However, like many people, she was still researching and was nervous about the new vaccines.
“I was scared and wanted my family and I to do it at the same time. And as I’m sure you know, it’s hard to get everyone to agree on something if people feel different,” he said.
Blankenbiller, who appeared to be struggling to catch his breath, said not getting vaccinated “was a mistake.”
The video was released a little over a week before Blankenbiller’s death. Her sister Cristina Blankenbiller confirmed her death in a Facebook post, according to NBC.
