“A shot would have saved him,” Family grieves after father who called vaccine a government conspiracy dies of COVID-19

Many Americans are still choosing to not get the COVID-19 Vaccine. It’s a decision that one former Oklahoman says recently cost her ex-husband and father of her three kids his life.
Born in Tipton, Michael Stevenson lived in Oklahoma City for decades with wife, Melinda Young, before his job took him to Florida a few years ago.
That’s where he died of COVID on August 3 – never getting the vaccine because he thought it was a government conspiracy.
“A shot would have saved him, a shot would have saved him,” Young lamented.
50-year-old Stevenson called the COVID vaccine a government conspiracy.
“A lot of people think the shot is how they were going to track people, the government tracks people or they’re trying to take too much control,” Young said.
She said Stevenson believed medical professionals were under government authority. He also believed the number of COVID deaths was inflated by the government and that many of those deaths claimed to be from the virus were by other causes.
Even after his own father died of COVID in April, he still didn’t get vaccinated.
Two months later, Stevenson was admitted into the hospital, now a victim of the virus himself.
“Within 48 hours of being admitted, he wished he would have got the shot because he was already that miserable,” Young shared. “His body was hurting. He couldn’t breathe. He wished he would have gotten it.”
