Two brothers from the city of Jacksonville, Florida, lost their lives due to coronavirus infection within twelve hours of each other. Both Aaron Jaggi (35) and Free Jaggi (41), who lived with their mother Lisa Brandon, had not taken the Covid-19 vaccine, according to a News4Jax report.
According to the report, Brandon said he believed his children would not have died if they had received the vaccine. “It simply came to our notice then. I wish I could have made them do it. And now it’s too late, ”he said.
He now hopes his story urges others to get vaccinated.
Brandon, Aaron and Free hired Covid in late July. While Brandon, who had taken the Modern vaccine, was getting better, the brothers were hospitalized and eventually put on ventilator support after developing double pneumonia. Free died on August 12, followed by Aaron a few hours later on August 13.
With the death of Aaron and Free, Brandon has lost all his children. Her other son, David, had died five years ago and now Brandon has to leave his home because he shared rent with his children.
“It’s the worst nightmare for parents,” Brandon said. “The only reason I’m doing this is to give up the word to get vaccinated.”
Florida on Saturday became the third U.S. state to reach 3 million cases of Covid-19, a total surpassed by just 15 countries in the world. The state’s death toll also rose to a new seven-day record over the past week, according to reports.
