In May 2016, 15-year-old Karinya “Yaya” Chen was in hospice care in Austin, Texas after years of fighting cancer. She had tickets to see Florence The Machine, but by the night of the concert, she was simply too sick to go.
So the people at Hospice Austin reached out to the band.
And Florence Welch came to her.
Florence and guitarist Rob Ackroyd walked into Karinya’s room and gave her the concert she couldn't make it to. They sang “Shake It Out” and “Dog Days Are Over,” with Karinya singing and harmonizing right alongside them.
A few months later, Karinya lost her battle with cancer at just 15 years old.
But for one afternoon, none of that seemed to matter.
There was just a young girl, one of her favorite singers, a guitar, a room full of people who loved her... and music.
Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can become one of the biggest moments of someone's life.
This is what being human is supposed to look like.🙏
JUST IN: Sen. Ron Johnson says Dr. Fauci’s iPhone obtained by the Senate GOP shows that he knew about risks between follow-up COVID vaccinations and pregnancy.
"Anthony Fauci, in a text exchange with Vivek Murthy and Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, they're talking about the COVID injection and having pregnant women take it."
"In the middle of that text exchange, I think the key text is where Anthony Fauci's talking about the fact that the second dose creates a greater cytokine storm… and that could have an impact on increased miscarriages in the first trimester."
Fauci texted on January 25, 2021 that the COVID vaccines could kill a 1st trimester unborn baby
82% miscarried in an April 2021 study
Then he went on TV over the next few months, urging pregnant women to immediately get vaccinated

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers absolutely obliterates Dr. Anthony Fauci on @PatMcAfeeShow on ESPN.
McAfee: “How do you view this year versus maybe the years of the past?”
Rodgers: “I'm gonna plead the fifth… like that absolute coward, Tony Fauci…”
“What are you gonna say about me now?… No, seriously, what are they gonna say about me now?”
🔥🔥
Never forget the American who looked Fauci in the eye, refused the COVID vaccine, and called him out on camera.
Still one of the ballsiest moments of the entire pandemic.
