Who was Kristen Lowery? California's 'unmasked, unmuzzled' mom of 4 dies of Covid
A mother-of-four school-age children from Escalon, California, died "unexpectedly" on September 15 due to Covid-19. She had been fighting the disease along with pneumonia since the beginning of this month and her sister put up pleas for prayers online. "I do not care about your opinion on vaccinated or not. This is not political. This is a request for every prater. Every ounce of strength, you all have, to help my sister pull through this," she wrote in her post asking for people to be respectful towards the situation and not spew the regular hate that her sister Kristen Lowery received online for her anti-vaccination ideologies.
In the past, we have reported on incidents regarding people who previously called Covid-19 a hoax contracting the virus. For instance, Lieutenant Stephen Shyti from Manhattan who refused to get the vaccine due to his lack of trust in the government died of the virus earlier this month after two months on the ventilator. Joe Manning, an anti-vax police officer from Georgia who promoted Ivermectin died after contracting the virus last month.

Kristen Lowery's anti-vax stance
Kristen Lowery was outspoken about her distrust against vaccines and masks. Her Facebook profile has been set to private currently but screenshots of her photographs including the one where she posed with banners with the message "give a voice to the vaccine injured" have made it to Reddit. In the same photo which seems to have been taken at some sort of protest or anti-vaccine event, she was seen sporting a T-shirt that read, "Ex-Vaxxer. I trusted them. Never again."
Lowery made use of political borders on her profile photographs, including one which read, "unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated, unafraid. Together we win." In another photo, she made use of the border which read, "Free Thinker. Question everything. Research mandatory." The mom of four children - Tayden, McKenna, Ella, and Ryenn also uploaded another photo lined with a border that read, "Moms for Liberty."
Lowery was admitted to the hospital at the beginning of this month and her sister Cassie broke the news of her Covid diagnosis on social media. "My sister has a long life left. We need you here, sissy. Your kids love and miss you so much. Please don't give up," she wrote. A couple of days later, two of Lowery's family members revealed she had died, according to an article. A GoFundMe campaign was set up to take care of Lowery's funeral expenses through which her family raised $11,000.
