After months of knocking on doors in the neighborhoods of Palm Beach County, Florida, trying to convince members of the community to get vaccinated, Lisa Wilson said she lost six members of her family to Covid-19 in a three-week span.
"I work side by side with the communities and constantly push the message to get people vaccinated," Wilson explained,"but I couldn't convince my family members to get vaccinated." Tyrone Moreland, Lisa Wilson's uncle, died of Covid-19, she said. Wilson, an aide to Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay and wife to Belle Glade Mayor Steve Wilson, said she received a call in August that her uncle, Tyrone Moreland, was sick and going downhill quickly.
"My family is going through a hard time, and I wouldn't wish that on any family member anywhere," she said."If my family was vaccinated, they would be here today." Wilson explained that fear and misinformation were big factors in why her family members refused to be vaccinated."They were just scared," she said."Everything was new, and they were just scared.
