This is so sad. How the hell do we get across that the vaccine risk is so much better than getting Covid.
Agnes Velasquez remembers the last words her teen daughter said before Covid-19 severely attacked her respiratory system.
"She told me that she loved me," said Velasquez, who rushed her daughter to the hospital.
Velasquez spoke with CNN on a video call from the ICU room at Broward Health Medical Center where her 15-year-old daughter, Paulina, has been battling Covid-19 for about 10 days.
"She can hear me," Velasquez said.
Velasquez showed her daughter up close, her hair combed in a ponytail and her eyes shut. A ventilator tube covers a portion of her face.
Velasquez said she tells her daughter every day to, "Fight for your life."

"If you look at the mortality rate of Covid, just this past year for children, it's more than twice the mortality rate we see in influenza in a given year," said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky on CNN's "New Day" Wednesday.
The number of Covid-19 cases in children and teens is trending upwards, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The group reported more than 38,600 cases in children from July 15 to 22, more than triple what was being reported at the end of June.
