'Fully vaccinated' Southwest flight attendant, 36, dies from COVID-19 nearly two months after testing positive following trip to Hawaii

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant has died from COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated, according to his mother and best friend.

Maurice 'Reggie' Shepperson, 36, died at Henderson Hospital in Las Vegas on Tuesday, nearly two months after he tested positive for the virus following a work trip to Hawaii.

He had reportedly checked himself into the hospital due to difficulty breathing on July 7, and was put on a ventilator weeks after testing positive.

Shepperson's mother, Dawn, told USA Today her son was fully vaccinated, and his friend, Marcia Hildreth, another Southwest flight attendant, said he took every precaution against the virus including wearing a mask, constantly washing his hands, sanitizing surfaces and wiping everything down in hotel rooms.

He is among a very small fraction of Americans who have died after suffering 'breakthrough' coronavirus infections after vaccination.

Shepperson had checked into the hospital on July 7, weeks after testing positive following his trip to Hawaii in early June

Shepperson had been a flight attendant since 2007 and has worked for Southwest for nine years.

Dubbed 'high flyer' by his co-workers, Shepperson was known to pick up more work trips than any other flight attendant, both for the money and the ability to travel to new places.

A flight attendant from his training class Kiki Lee told USA Today: 'He was hitting the skies right way, using his benefits. He loved working, and he loved the perks.'

One of Shepperson's first trips was to China, shortly after graduating from flight school.

So what's the point of taking Covid 19 vaccine when the Coronavirus can still kill you?

The world is coming to an end

I heard the newly discovered delta Covid string is deadly and resistance to Covid vaccine

You still need preventative measures even after being vaccinated

Meanwhile shebi one APC member wished BABA dictator died of Covid

Now is a great time to revisit that prayer

So vaccination is no guaranty of survival?
Scary.

Wake up sleepy heads. Its happening

RIP

And this same Covid can't stop those Taliban guys in their tracks.

Covid is very real though.

The vaccines are not 100% and the manufacturers never said it was. The overwhelming data shows that the vaccination has helped reduce mobidty and deaths

The big pharma manufacturers have a mandatory no liability clause on their vaccines, that they can't be sued or accept responsibility if their vaccines cause complications or death. Which means those vaccines are not as good as they should be
