Worth noting that the kid was actually from Florida, but happened to be in Utah when he passed. So as far as vaccine uptake is concerned, I have no idea what his status was, but a state mandate likely did not play into it.

These SADS are so stereotypical, including the unusually rare success in resuscitating a witnessed arrest, that I no longer have to ask. :(

The Mormon leaders were pushing the shots, I know a family who all got them, even the kids, presumably because of those recommendations 😕

I know. It was hard to watch. I know people who literally had “questions” and abandoned them immediately when it seemed like direction from the church to just do it. I have been disappointed in so many people in my sphere, and none more so than my fellow LDS members who lost their powers of reason a couple of years ago. My mother, on the flip side, is as devout a member as you would ever meet. She felt like she should not do it, regardless of “advice” given, and stuck by that vehemently. So I suppose I come by my own convictions honestly. :)

I’m glad you and your mother had the good judgment to ignore those recommendations!
