An unvaccinated pregnant woman lost her baby after she went into premature labor while being treated for COVID-19.

However, on September 7, while she was in a medically induced coma, she went into premature labor.
But the baby boy, whom Rangel had planned to name Anthony, did not survive. She only learned that he didn't make it when she was taken out of the coma.
'When she found out the baby did not make it, she had severe anxiety and doctors said her breathing was too heavy,' Anne told KTVB.
'They had to put her back in the induced coma.'
Anne said that doctors had
