A Washington state trooper who retired rather than comply with a Covid-19 vaccine mandate has died from the virus.
Robert LaMay, 51, famously signed off in his squad car after 22 years of service in October while blasting Democratic Gov.
Jay Inslee. The governor had
mandated that state workers get vaccinated against Covid.
LaMay
died on Friday.
“This is the last time you’ll hear me in a patrol car and Jay Inslee can kiss my ass,” LaMay told his fellow troopers over the radio at the end of his last shift.
LaMay recorded his resignation and it quickly went viral. It even gained the attention of
John Oliver, who
aired the video on HBO’s
Last Week Tonight.
After LaMay’s
death, Washington State Patrol Chief
John Batiste issued a statement
reading, “I am deeply saddened over the news that our former friend and colleague Trooper Robert LaMay has passed away. This agency’s prayers and remembrances are with his family and loved ones. Rob served honorably for over two decades, and we were disappointed to see him leave the agency this past October. His service to this state and agency will be long remembered and appreciated.”
After leaving the force, LaMay
appeared on Fox News where he explained that he and his family are against vaccinations.
“We don’t do vaccines, we don’t do flu shots, we don’t do any of that stuff,” he told host
Carley Shimkus.
“Not taking the vaccine wasn’t even a question,” he added.
“The choices that people like you are being forced to make are pretty unbelievable,” Shimkus replied.
