A NURSE’S Covid-denier mum died of the virus at the hospital where her daughter was working on the vaccine rollout.
Amy Crosby, 34, said her relationship with mum Geraldine Mount, 57, had been “strained” due to her views on Covid.
But she was left heartbroken after her death at Middlesbrough’s James Cook Hospital where Amy has tirelessly worked on the vaccine roll out.
She shared pictures of herself and her mum on Twitter and paid an emotional tribute.
Amy’s tribute to Geraldine read: “This is my Mam – Geraldine, a 57-year-old with no pre-existing medical conditions.
“We have had a strained relationship over the last 18 months and some of this was due to her beliefs that Covid-19 isn’t real and that vaccines were dangerous.
“Today in hospital she died of complications caused by Covid.
“She’s spent the last month of her life without any family around her and her last memories were of sheer terror at having to be intubated and not knowing if she would wake up.
“If any good can come from this, it is that hopefully in sharing her story and our pain, even just one person with the ludicrous dangerous beliefs can rethink, reconsider sharing this warped ‘evidence’ and get the vaccine to prevent their families having to go through what we are now.”
