A friend of mine just died. He was a great guitar player. A lifetime of drinking and a zillion different drugs. He was forcibly recruited to be a child soldier in the Iran-Iraq war when he was 13. At that age, working as a sharpshooter he had to kill kids slightly older then himself. Another kid who was a friend of his lacked the same skills as a sharpshooter so he was ordered to go blow himself up to take out an enemy tank. My friend saw that, and a thousand other horrors. I think he died back…

Another low key approach. (v). (Sigh). Yeah. A world-famous scientist in Australia has decided to just quit doing science. Shortly after the 2nd shot he was diagnosed with diabetes, was quite sure it was due to the shot. (Sigh). Needs to focus on his family...keep the job, will be purely administrative and teaching classes henceforth. (then wait.) (vi) Fantastic person in Seoul, Latin Dance Teacher and performer...after the 2nd shot suddenly "got" auto-immune disease. Her life's been a wild roller coaster since then, she posted online that there was no way she was going to let her teenage boy get injected...this after the enthusiastic first post after the first shot "I am vaccinated" etc. She can't dance, she can't teach now. Sigh. (then wait). (vii). A friend of a friend simply died while sitting on the toilet. She was sitting straight up, and her friends found her in that position...no one among all these older ladies had ever heard of anything like that. Here in Korea, they cremate, no embalming for a funeral...this was just a few days after this lady got the 2nd shot. Well. There seem to be plenty of sad stories like this. (then wait.) Etc, etc....
