An ICU nurse took to Twitter to share her frustrations about a 14-year-old girl who died from COVID-19 because her parents wouldn’t allow her to be intubated.

The thread, posted last week, shared a heartbreaking story of how a promising young woman who aspired to be a veterinarian died under her care — yet not with the total care she would have given had she been given the chance.

“Tonight I helplessly held the hand of and stroked the hair of a beautiful 14-year-old girl as she exited this world. She was looking forward to starting high school and eventually becoming a veterinarian. It was so senseless!

The thread went on to say, “I truly believe she could have been saved if her parents had not forbidden us from intubating her. A free vaccination would have prevented it all! This little girl was robbed of her whole life and of fulfilling all of her dreams.”

It continued, “She had been with us 9 days and was able to communicate well until taking a turn for the worse yesterday.”

That wasn’t the only covid-related tragedy she witnessed that day. “About two hours later,” she shared, “we were unable to save a 25-year-old mother of one who was 15 weeks pregnant. She had refused the vaccines because of the lies about them causing infertility and harming her baby. Liars killed her, her baby and robbed a two-year-old little boy of his mommy and sibling. Not to mention robbing a husband of his wife and child.”

It got worse. As she went on to share, “Those were two of four deaths we had tonight with the oldest being 45 years old! It was the first time since late March we have lost more than three covid patients in a single shift.”

With new grim COVID-19 case numbers and hospitalization numbers — due to the delta variant and a number of people still looking to get vaccinated — the strain is being felt again by health care workers like the one who took to Twitter to share her sad story.

The detail about the pregnant woman led one person to respond, “This frightens me beyond words. My daughter (18 weeks pregnant) refuses the vaccine and only wears a kerchief in public. She has a 3-year-old daughter and a husband. I sent her a screenshot of your tweet. Maybe fear will light a fire in her to take this seriously.”

The details about the teen triggered many reactions, though. One person looked to assign blame, noting, “If you protested at a school board meeting/hospital against masks- you are responsible for this. If you attended a rally and made light of warnings and didn’t get vaxxed, You are responsible for this. If you are a state legislator and think you know more than drs- this is on You!”

Another piled on with, “I’ve found they literally don’t care how their actions impact others. I’m told, ‘If you’re afraid, stay home’ when I’m being the responsible one. It’s like half the US is made up of oppositional defiant teenagers.”

That led to a whole bunch of advice, including one person who said, “I never encourage a minor to go against their parents however this is something altogether different. Please go get vaccinated so you will have the chance to see your 18th birthday. Protect your life.”
