Three Florida teachers and one teaching assistant died of COVID in the Broward County school district within two days.
All four teachers were not vaccinated
NBC 6 in South Florida reported:
The Broward Teachers Union confirmed Thursday that three teachers and one teaching assistant have died from COVID-19 in the past two days.
Union president Anna Fusco said these teachers were on summer break when they got the virus.
Her colleagues learned of the sad news on Wednesday as teachers returned to the classroom to prepare for the kids for the next week.
Fusco said at least three of the four weren’t vaccinated, but one was recently approved for the vaccine by a doctor.
The school district just passed a mask mandate, but the teachers were still on summer break
The educators weren’t at school yet. You were infected with COVID-19 during the summer break. Broward County’s School District just this week voted to oppose Governor Ron DeSantis and impose a mask mandate, but the decision not to get vaccinated has proven fatal for the now deceased teachers.
Vaccines must be prescribed for teachers
Any teacher who does not get vaccinated risks their own life and the wellbeing of their students. Hopefully this will be a wake up call for those teachers who have not been vaccinated across the country.
Teachers need to be community leaders and be part of the solution.
The situation in Florida is dire due to Governor DeSantis’ deliberate worsening of the pandemic. Still, the death of the Broward educators should also serve as a warning to any unvaccinated teacher when classes resume in the fall.
