When the Covid-19 vaccine first became available, many people lined up as soon as it was their turn to get vaccinated. Yet, not everyone got vaccinated as soon as possible, and approximately half of the United States population still has yet to get vaccinated.

According to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, “nearly every death, especially among adults, due to COVID-19, is, at this point, entirely preventable.” Currently, about 99.5% of people who are on their death bed due to Covid are unvaccinated. That’s proof the vaccine works and is very effective.

Many of the unvaccinated people who are hospitalized for Covid wish they had gotten vaccinated. Many of them are so vocal about it that their stories made headlines. Here are 13 examples.
