Czech female singer dies after deliberately contracting COVID-19, family blames "anti-vaccination campaign"

[Global Times reporter Aoki] "This is a tragedy that should not have happened! Germany's "Der Spiegel" weekly reported on the 20th that the Czech 57-year-old folk singer Hana Hoka died last Sunday due to deliberate infection with the new crown virus. Joka's son, Jane Lake, blamed the anti-vaccination campaign, saying it was their agitation that made the mother resist vaccination.

Joka has always been opposed to vaccinations, but she longs for a normal social life. According to Czech anti-epidemic regulations, public places such as cinemas, bars and cafes are only allowed if proof of vaccination or recovery from a recent COVID-19 infection is provided. "The mother was deliberately infected. This way, when she recovers, she can get a pass to enter certain places. "In an interview with Czech radio station iRozhlas, Lek said that although he and his father were vaccinated, they still contracted the new crown during the Christmas period." But my mother did not comply with the quarantine rules and decided to live a normal life with us without getting vaccinated. He said.

After contracting COVID-19, Hoka wrote on social media that she was looking forward to going to the theater and sauna again soon after she became "seriously ill." She also uploaded a number of happy emojis on her post. Just before she died, Joka said she felt better and went out for a walk. When she returned, she complained of back pain and went to bed. Lake said: "About 10 minutes later, My mother suffocated to death. Everything happened too fast. ”

Lake blamed his mother's death on a local anti-vaccine campaign. It was the representative of the movement who persuaded his mother not to be vaccinated. Their "hands were stained with blood" and their mother resisted vaccination because of their agitation. He said: "What makes me sad is that she would rather trust strangers than her own family. Lake accused the anti-vaccine movement of spreading the idea of acquiring natural immunity and antibodies by contracting the virus. In the interview, Lake was asked why he was talking publicly about his mother's death. "People are not interested in tables and numbers," he said. I think personal experiences are easier to understand. He hopes his mother's tragedy will be a wake-up call for anti-vaccine activists.

According to the data of the Czech Ministry of Health, the number of new COVID-19 cases in the Czech Republic on the 19th hit a new single-day high, reaching 28,469. More than 36,900 people have died of COVID-19 in the Czech Republic, which has a total population of 10.7 million.
