Yeah when you get myeloma it makes you pretty susceptible to respiratory illnesses.

Just about everyone who dies from it has other serious health issues. Losing some weight and exercising more would likely help some of us more than the vaccine. I have added about 65 pounds over the past two years. I am dead if I get it. :oops:

Another bad about thing this COVID stuff is the disruption to people's normal health routines...closed gyms, closed up at home for months on end, restricted activities, etc. I started riding my bike during COVID when I found myself putting on weight, then I fell and broke my wrist. Now it's almost healed so I will get back on.

Also I think it's kind of wrong for the media to suggest that he died of COVID, when he had cancer that particularly weakens the immune system.

I feel there are many Covid deaths that should have been ruled death by some other cause. At one point I had read that if a person died and was later found to have had Covid, they called it a Covid death.

Yeah, Covid did it, not being 84 years old with myeloma. Well, at least he had that "safe and effective vaccine."

I just read an article posted on FB that says his form of cancer rendered the vaccine less effective.

It is worse than that. A friend of mine had her month in a nursing home in Michigan. The nursing home has been locked down to anyone but staff since early in 2020. Early this past summer, the nursing home called my friend to say that her mother had tested positive for Covid. She only could have gotten it from the staff. They moved the mother to an isolated room for two weeks where the mother never displayed any Covid symptoms. She has severe dementia and would likely have exhibited Covid symptoms clearly if she had them. After the two weeks, she was moved back to her normal care area. A week later, she died. She was 90 years old. Her death certificate says COD was Covid.

Well, that's been the real problem all along. The public (and likely even the medical industry) has ZERO way to know who died OF Covid, and who died WITH Covid. I complained heartily (not that it mattered) that the data was unreliable, right from the get go. I was told things like "of course they got some stuff wrong to begin with, this thing was new and caught everyone off-guard", or similar statements. In reality, the numbers are utter garbage, the whole thing was manipulated from the start, and that manipulation continues, primarily to use this for political purposes. I already distrusted the mass news media. Now I also distrust "science" and "medicine". Leftists ruin everything they touch, like locusts eating a field and moving to a new one to repeat the process.
