Here, I’ll add some fuel to the fire: we’re signed up for the newest COVID booster. Looking forward to the nanobots. As an extra note, neither of us has been infected since this whole mess started. We also get flu shots every year and neither of us has had the flu in the 30 years we’ve been married. ---

May I suggest that you use your researching skills to interview her mother’s medical team and to request access to her medical files in order to determine what really happened?

Neither of those links of why Shodan was banned are valid anymore, but links for posts that people are finding from eight years ago are still up? Is that at all curious to you? If they were taken down because he was banned, then why post them at all, if they wouldn’t go anywhere? ---

It goes somewhere for me. Try clicking harder? Oh you mean the links in Chance’s post. I wasn’t posting it so you could follow them just to confirm that Shodan was banned and that I was not misremembering. If you search for “Shodan banned” on the boards you can probably find out. Pretty sure it was due to his ongoing misogyny. ---

Off-topic. Now that RFK has shown interest in running for President in 2024 (besides any other motivations for him resurfacing after decades of obscurity) I think an interesting team would be Trump and RFK. There are certainly some major difference there, but, from a purely strategic and entertainment perspective, Trump having RFK as a running-mate would be very, very interesting. ---

If you think Trump and RFK are mutually improved by each other, then I’m done. Enjoy your time here. I don’t think it will be long. ---

Well, I never got _any_ of those shots, either. Never had Covid, and it has been probably 17 years since I had the flu. So, count me as part of the control group. ---

> [@Chicago\_Faucet](#): > > If the mother would have survived had they only had Covid alone, then how can you discount all the other comorbidities? You can’t. And, by the definition of the word “comorbidities”, they are possible causes of death. That’s not what it means. A better way to paraphrase it would be, “If not for COVID, the patient would probably not now be dead.” IOW, the comorbidities certainly make a patient more vulnerable, but if not for COVID the patient would not have died, not on that day. COVID triggered the chain of events that caused death, an outcome that was likelier because of the comorbidities. This is standard stuff, by the way. I’m paraphrasing as a non-scientist. My son, who is in immunology research, could certainly do a better job of it. ---
