College student who promised his mom he would get vaccinated at school dies from Covid-19

A 20-year-old North Carolina student, who was hesitant about getting the coronavirus shot, died of complications after catching Covid-19 three days after returning to college. Tyler Gilreath, a student at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, died on Tuesday after testing positive for the coronavirus, which he contracted just days after returning to college. The student, according to his mother Tamra Demello, thought his age would protect him from the virus. 'I cajoled, encouraged, threatened, and nagged for him to get vaccinated. He was too busy and/or concerned about the possible long term heart issues,' Ms Demello shared on social media.
