A vegan anti-vaxxer who refused to have the jab because they had been tested on animals told his wife he 'wish he'd had the vaccine' before he died.
Glynn Steel, 54, tested positive for Covid after taking a lateral flow test on October 27, but after his health started to decline his wife Emma, 50, took him into Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
He was placed in intensive care and then an induced coma, but tragically he died on November 16 - just two months from his 55th birthday.
The field service engineer begged nurses for the jab as he fought for his life but it was too late, his last words to wife Emma were: 'I have never felt so ill, I wish I'd had the vaccine'.

'He begged for the vaccine when he was in intensive care before he went on life support but they said that it was too late.
'I've been crying myself into a dehydration every night, and letting the tears flow like a river in the morning and waking up in the night crying.
'It's having to tell people that loved him that they will never see him again, and seeing that pain in them. I'm used to trying to make people laugh, not cry.
