This guy don't have to...well he cant imagine anything now. But maybe he did before dying from COVID because his funeral was not the first one.
Widow urges vaccination at funeral of St. Petersburg officer who died of COVID
Standing in front of roughly 100 family members and officers in The Coliseum,
the police officer’s widow offered a warning at her husband’s funeral Tuesday.
Her husband, St. Petersburg police Officer Michael Weiskopf,
died Aug. 27 after about a month of battling COVID-19. He was 52.
“This was not Mike’s time,” Karen Weiskopf said. “
He made a risky decision not to vaccinate.”
For months, she tried to convince her husband to get the vaccine. He gave it serious consideration before he grew ill and wished he had been vaccinated when he got the virus, she said. In the hospital, Michael and Karen Weiskopf cried and prayed. But it was too late.
Before the funeral,
the Department of Health offered coronavirus vaccines starting at 9 a.m. in a tent outside the Coliseum. Karen Weiskopf wanted to use her husband’s death as a way to encourage others to get vaccinated, police said.
St. Petersburg resident Tina Burns stopped by the tent before the funeral to get a dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The 61-year-old doesn’t work for the St. Petersburg Police Department and she didn’t know Weiskopf. But her father was a police officer, she said, and she heard about the vaccine site while watching the news.
St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway addressed the media outside the vaccine tent before the funeral.
He said several officers had decided to get vaccinated in the days following Weiskopf’s death, though he didn’t know exactly how many officers had received the vaccine. Holloway urged his officers to get a coronavirus vaccine — just as he had done a few days ago, following a procession in Weiskopf’s honor Friday.
