I lost Mum, Dad and my brother within a week

FRANCIS GONCALVES lost his mother, father and brother to Covid within the space of a week after all three refused to get the vaccine.

His father, Basil, 73, mother Charmagne, 65, and brother Shaul, 40, succumbed to infection after falling victim to ‘anti-vaccination propaganda’, he said.

Francis, 43, from Cardiff, said: ‘They got caught up in a lot of the antivaccination propaganda that’s going around. It preys on people who are afraid and they fall into the trap.

‘The message I want to get out is why would the Government want to hurt you by giving you a vaccine? What is the purpose behind it?

‘I’ve spoken to so many people who are terrified of the vaccine, and it costs lives.’
