39. It could be something else entirely -

I was just talking to another member about the efficacy of covid shots w/immuno-compromised individuals. Let's say he had a random auto-immune disease (arthritis, type 1 diabetes, etc) - could be compromised from meds taken. I'm not sure his family would want to share that medical info, nor would I expect them to.

My overall worry with current regime, is that we are sliding backwards with science. That may or may not have anything to do with this particular death, but it is something I think about a lot (probably because I am immuno-compromised myself).
