In these times if a public-interest death like this doesn’t report that the person wasn’t vaccinated, it is suspect that, not having anything else to think on it, that it may be at least partly related to adverse effects from the c19 shot. When they can’t spin it other way, it is left with no details reported. For instance, has anyone seen Newsom, the California governor since he took the c19 shot several weeks ago? There has little been reported about his public absence.
