Amelia Cannon, then a registered nurse in the emergency room at Tulsa’s Saint Francis Hospital, posted gripping Facebook posts in August that became a wake-up call that went worldwide.
At the time, Cannon was not only a nurse on staff but also the mother of one of the youngest critical COVID-19 patients ever treated at the Children’s Hospital at Saint Francis. She believes she gave her 3-year-old daughter Aurora Cannon the virus after contracting it from one of the many unvaccinated patients she had treated at work.
