Interesting and rather tragic.

The part about supressing the cause of death was especially gutwrenching. Silencing hurt people out of fear of encouraging nutters is a horrible thing to do.

Ridiculous. All vaccines can have side effects, of course there were going to be people who had adverse responses to the COVID vaccines. Disbelieving people about this is an absolute joke.

I agree, part of keeping trust in collective health measures is trusting people when they say they are hurt by them and trying to help.

These people did a prosocial and sensible thing, they got hurt in freak accidents, they deserve respect and compassion.
