The Daily Beast reports:
A well-known conservative activist in Arlington, Texas, who peddled COVID-19 vaccine misinformation has died of complications caused by the virus—just a few weeks after attending a “symposium” against the shots. In one of her final Facebook posts, Kelly Canon shared several links to speeches she attended at a “COVID symposium” in Burleson in early December devoted to dissuading people from getting vaccines.
The event was organized by God Save Our Children, which bills itself as “a conservative group that is fighting against the use of experimental vaccines on our children.” Canon had shared similar content on Twitter, where her most recent post was a YouTube video featuring claims that the coronavirus pandemic was “planned” in advance and part of a global conspiracy.
