Claim : Matthew Perry Died Suddenly From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!

Right after news broke that Matthew Perry died suddenly in his Jacuzzi, anti-vaccine proponents immediately claimed that the beloved Friends actor died from a cardiac arrest caused by the COVID-19 vaccine!

Matt Wallace : Do you believe Matthew Perry died from heart issues in his Jacuzzi that were caused by him getting so many Covid Vaccines?

He once promoted a shirt saying “Could I be any more vaccinated?” RIP Matthew Perry

Ada Lluch : Matthew Perry has been found dead at age 54 after a cardiac arrest.No drugs were found at the scene. He was a huge pro-vaccine promoter. Coincidence?

Kandiss Taylor : What??? Was he vaccinated?

Inversionism : Did he have a heart attack in the jacuzzi and then drown? It was called in as a cardiac arrest.

Is Matthew Perry yet another person on the ever growing long list of celebrities that died from the vaccine? It’s insane how many have died since 2021 and is likely going to continue increasing if the myocarditis data is accurate at the 50% 5 year survival rate. RIP.

No Evidence Matthew Perry Died Suddenly From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Matthew Perry Drowned In His Hot Tub

Matthew Perry (born Matthew Langford Perry on 19 August 1969) was most famous for starring as Chandler Bing in the NBC sitcom, Friends, from 1994 to 2004. He also appeared in Ally McBeal, The West Wing, The Odd Couple, and The Good Wife.

On Saturday, 28 October 2023, Matthew Perry played a two-hour game of pickleball in the morning, and then sent his assistant out on an errand. When his assistant returned two hours later, he discovered Matthew unresponsive, and underwater in his hot tub.

A representative for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed, saying:

West L.A. officers responded to [a residence] at 4:10 p.m. for a Death Investigation of a male in his 50s.

His assistant lifted his head from under the water, and tried to get him some air, and then called 911. But by the time first responders got to his Pacific Palisades home, Matthew Perry was already dead.

Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Erik Scott said:

Los Angeles City Firefighters responded [and] found an adult male unconscious in a stand-alone hot tub.

A bystander had brought the man’s head above the water and gotten him to the edge, then firefighters removed him from the water upon their arrival.

A rapid medical assessment, sadly, revealed the man was deceased prior to first responder arrival.

Fact #2 : Matthew Perry’s Cause Of Death Is Still Unknown

While all indications show that Matthew Perry died of drowning in his hot tub, his official cause of death is currently unknown.

There appears to be some confusion about the earlier claims of him dying from cardiac arrest, which stemmed from reports that first responders were called to the scene for a cardiac arrest.

The 15-second dispatch call has emerged, revealing that it was his assistant who reported a cardiac arrest to 911. But first responders were actually called to the scene for a drowning.

Agent 23. Rescue 23, EMS 9 [Emergency Medical Situation 9 refers to a drowning] on the radio. In response to the drowning.

It is unknown if he actually suffered a cardiac arrest. He could have fallen unconscious for any number of reasons. At this point in time – Matthew Perry’s official cause of death has not been revealed, or confirmed.

Fact #3 : Matthew Perry’s Cause Of Death Is Under Investigation

Captain Scot Williams of Los Angeles Police Department said that his Robbery-Homicide Division was investigating Matthew Perry’s sudden death, but no foul play was suspected at this time:

The Robbery-Homicide Division is handling the death investigation involving Matthew Perry and foul play is not suspected at this time.

While unnamed sources at the scene claimed that no drugs were found at the scene, the LAPD Captain Scot Williams refused to comment on what its officers recovered at the scene:

I will not comment on what was or was not recovered at the scene, as the investigation is ongoing.

Matthew Perry could have died suddenly from any number of reasons – a heart attack or a stroke, for example, which could hypothetically explain his drowning.

Until and unless his family, or the authorities, publicly reveal his cause of death, anyone who tells you that Matthew Perry died from this or that cause is just speculating at best.

Fact #4 : Matthew Perry’s Autopsy Report Was Deferred

An autopsy was conducted on Matthew Perry by the LA County Medical Examiner, and his body was marked as ready for release to his family.

However, the preliminary autopsy report (Case 2023-14789) stated that determination of his official cause of death was deferred, pending toxicology results which could take weeks to obtain.

Until the LA County Medical Examiner makes its final determination on his cause of death, anyone that tells you Matthew Perry died from this or that cause is just speculating at best.

Fact #5 : Matthew Perry Had Long History Of Substance Abuse

While it has been said that no drugs were found at the scene of his sudden death, Matthew Perry has a long history of substance abuse.

He started drinking at the age of 14, and later became addicted to Vicodin, Oxycontin, and Xanax. It was his Vicodin addition that led to a jet-ski accident, and his first stint in rehab in 1997 – at the height of his Friends fame.

In 2022, he told The New York Times how he spent $9 million fighting his addiction:

I would fake back injuries. I would fake migraine headaches. I had eight doctors going at the same time. I would wake up and have to get 55 Vicodin that day, and figure out how to do it.

When you’re a drug addict, it’s all math. I go to this place, and I need to take three. And then I go to this place, and I’m going to take five because I’m going to be there longer.

It’s exhausting but you have to do it or you get very, very sick. I wasn’t doing it to feel high or to feel good.

I certainly wasn’t a partier; I just wanted to sit on my couch, take five Vicodin and watch a movie. That was heaven for me. It no longer is… I’ve probably spent $9 million or something trying to get sober.

According to Matthew Perry, he ended up in rehab at least 15 times, and had 14 stomach surgeries after suffering gastrointestinal perforations from his opioid abuse.

He also recounted in his 2022 memoir – Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing (US | UK | AU), that in 2018 – when he was 49 years old, and years before COVID-19 vaccines were invented – his colon burst from excessive opioid use, and he ended up in a coma for two weeks, and was hospitalised for five months.

The doctors told my family that I had a 2 percent chance to live. I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.

To be clear – there is no evidence yet that Matthew Perry died suddenly from substance abuse. However, that is a possibility that the LA County Medical Examiner is looking into.

There is also the possibility that Matthew Perry may have suffered another stomach or intestinal perforation.

Fact #6 : Matthew Perry Was Possibly Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Matthew Perry did not publicly mention his COVID-19 vaccination status, so it is uncertain he was vaccinated against COVID-19. His family also has not mentioned his vaccination status.

The only “evidence” quoted by many people that Matthew Perry was vaccinated was his May 2021 tweet promoting a T-shirt with the words, “Could I BE Any More Vaccinated?”

Other than that single tweet, we really have no evidence that Matthew Perry was actually vaccinated against COVID-19. People claiming that was fully-vaccinated and/or boosted certainly offered no evidence to back up their claims.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated against COVID-19! After all, the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States. Many people who died suddenly were found to be unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Matthew Perry died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #7 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Matthew Perry was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it does not mean he died from the COVID-19 vaccine, as he would have received his doses more than two years ago!

He cannot possibly be suffering from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months or years later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITTdevelop within days.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.

Fact #5 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Was Madonna Revived From Death By Narcan Injection?!

Leave a reply

Was Madonna really revived from her death by a Narcan (naloxone) injection?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Madonna Was Revived From Death By Narcan Injection!

People are sharing a RadarOnline article which claims that Madonna was revived from death by a Narcan (naloxone) injection!

Madonna Was Revived by Narcan Injection: Terrifying New Details Reveal Queen of Pop ‘Had to Be Brought Back From The Dead’

Madonna’s brush with death was far worse than anyone knows, RadarOnline.com has exclusively been told.

When the Queen of Pop was found unresponsive on June 24, those who discovered her lifeless body were forced to administer a NARCAN injection, sources said.

NARCAN is an emergency medical treatment commonly used to reverse the life-threatening effects of a suspected overdose. But it is also used to reverse acute septic shock in patients — a condition Madonna is said to have suffered.

The injection, commonly held in medical treatment kits of the rich and famous, is considered useful to increase blood pressure in the management of septic shock, a life-threatening condition that happens when blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level.

There is nothing at all to suggest the hitmaker needed NARCAN for the ill effects of any drug use.

A spokesperson for Madonna had no comment.

No Evidence Madonna Was Revived From Death By Narcan Injection!

On Saturday, June 24, 2023, Madonna was found unconscious and unresponsive in New York City, and rushed to a hospital ICU, where she was diagnosed with a serious bacterial infection.

Her condition was so severe, she had to be intubated, and her family feared they would “lose her”. That was why they kept quiet about her condition, until the worst was over.

Amazingly, she was busy recording music with Katy Perry in a studio, just hours before she collapsed at home.

After being treated in the ICU for several days, Madonna was discharged on Wednesday night, June 28, and taken to her New York City apartment to recover.

What we don’t know was the circumstances in which Madonna was found, only that she was unconscious and unresponsive. No one has yet been able to corroborate RadarOnline’s claim that Madonna was revived using a Narcan injection. Heck, we don’t even know if Madonna was revived at her home as claimed, or at the hospital.

What we do know is Narcan / naloxone is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, not treat acute septic shock.

It is also unlikely for first responders to think of acute septic shock when they see an unconscious and unresponsive person. Chances are – whoever injected Madonna with naloxone probably did so out of the assumption that she may have overdosed on opioids – a common problem in the United States.

Even if Madonna was injected with Narcan, it is unlikely to have revived her from the dead as claimed. That is only possible if she suffered from an opioid overdose. There is no evidence Madonna overdosed from opioids, but we know that she was hospitalised for a serious bacterial infection.

To be clear, the FDA allows Narcan to be administered for septic shock as an “adjunctive use” (PDF download), but warns that it should be used “with caution”:

NARCAN is indicated for the complete or partial reversal of opioid depression, including respiratory depression, induced by natural and synthetic opioids, including propoxyphene, methadone and certain mixed agonist-antagonist analgesics: nalbuphine, pentazocine, butorphanol, and cyclazocine. NARCAN is also indicated for diagnosis of suspected or known acute opioid overdosage. NARCAN may be useful as an adjunctive agent to increase blood pressure in the management of septic shock

Pfizer, one of the many naloxone manufacturers, states that while naloxone has been shown to produce a rise in blood pressure in some cases of septic shock, it has also been associated with adverse effects like nausea, vomiting, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias and seizures.

Adjunctive Use in Septic Shock

Naloxone has been shown in some cases of septic shock to produce a rise in blood pressure that may last up to several hours; however this pressor response has not been demonstrated to improve patient survival. In some studies, treatment with naloxone in the setting of septic shock has been associated with adverse effects, including agitation, nausea and vomiting, pulmonary edema, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, and seizures. The decision to use naloxone in septic shock should be exercised with caution, particularly in patients who may have underlying pain or have previously received opioid therapy and may have developed opioid tolerance.

Therefore, it would not have been likely for trained first responders to administer Narcan to Madonna if they suspected she had septic shock. They would have quickly stabilised her, and rushed her to the hospital.

That scenario certainly remains a possibility – we still do NOT have any confirmation that anyone actually injected Madonna with naloxone!

At the end of the day, the RadarOnline article is nothing more than celebrity rumour grist to generate some controversy for the page views. Despite insinuations by various blogs and media covering the same story, there is no evidence Madonna collapsed from an opioid overdose, or a COVID-19 vaccine injury.

Nothing has changed with the original story – Madonna suffered from a bad bacterial infection, and had to be hospitalised in the ICU for several days.

Did Lisa Marie Presley Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest?!

Did Elvis’ daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, suddenly collapse and die from vaccine-induced cardiac arrest?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2023-07-14 : Updated with Lisa Marie Presley’s autopsy results and official cause of death!

the experimental vaccines strike again
Lisa Marie Presley dies suddenly from cardiac arrest
She was 54

Sad to hear about Lisa Marie Presley. It seems like every day I see another story of an athlete or a big-name person having cardiac arrest. But whatever you do, you can’t talk about the vaccine, right?

Lisa Presley, Elvis’ daughter possible cardiac arrest victim. How many more of these heart failures until we ALL can start asking questions about the mRNA vaccine?

Truth : Lisa Marie Presley Did Not Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Lisa Marie Presley Complained Of Stomach Pains

Lisa Marie Presley (born February 1, 1968) was an American singer-songwriter, who was the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley. She was once married to musician Danny Keough, singer Michael Jackson, actor Nicholas Cage, and music producer Michael Lockwood.

Lisa Marie Presley complained of stomach pains that got more and more intense on early Thursday morning, January 12, 2023.

Later that morning, Lisa Marie was found lying unresponsive in her bedroom by her housekeeper. Her ex-husband, Danny Keough (who lives with Lisa Marie) arrived home after taking their kids to school, and administered CPR until paramedics arrived.

When they arrived, the paramedics gave her at least one epinephrine shot, and managed to restore her pulse before rushing her to a nearby hospital. Her 77 year-old mother, Priscilla Presley confirmed her death on Thursday night:

It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us.

She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.

Fact #2 : Lisa Marie Presley Died Of Small Bowel Obstruction

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner performed an autopsy of Lisa Marie Presley, with the case number of 2023-00513.

Its autopsy report confirmed on Thursday, 13 July 2023 that Lisa Marie Presley died from the “sequelae of small bowel obstruction“. Her death was ruled as “natural“.

The bowel obstruction that led to Lisa Marie Presley’s death appeared to be caused by adhesions that developed after she underwent bariatric surgery (stomach stapling) many years ago.

Her toxicology results also show that she had “therapeutic” levels of Oxycodone in her blood, as well as a second opioid – Buprenorphine, which is used to treat opioid dependence. These opioids may have played a role in her death, as they can cause bowel dysfunction.

There were also traces of Qeutiapine – an antipsychotic drug, in her blood.

To be clear – COVID-19 vaccines cannot cause small bowel obstruction.

Fact #3 : Lisa Marie Presley Had History Of Drug + Alcohol Abuse

The presence of opioids in her system isn’t surprising. The autopsy report confirmed that Lisa Marie Presley underwent a cosmetic procedure a few months before her death, and was prescribed opioids.

But she also has a history of “overmedicating” – forgetting that she took her medication, and taking them again. On top of that, the report also states that, Lisa Marie Presley had a history of drug and alcohol abuse.

She started abusing drugs and alcohol when she was just 13, until her mother checked her into a Scientology rehab center at 17 years old. She then became addicted to opioids in 2008, and was heavily using cocaine by 2013, checking into rehab at least five times.

I did everything but mushrooms and heroin or crack. Cocaine, sedatives, pot, and drinking — all at the same time… I don’t know how I lived through it.

Her son, Benjamin Keough, also had addiction problems, and died by suicide on 12 July 2020, when he was just 27 years old.

Fact #4 : Lisa Marie Presley Was Suspected To Have Heart Disease

While many anti-vaccination activists claimed that Lisa Marie-Presley died from a vaccine-induced cardiac arrest, other people pointed out that she would more likely have died from a heart attack. After all, Lisa Marie Presley had a strong family history of heart disease.

Her father – the great Elvis Presley, prominently died at just 42 years of age, after being found unconscious on the bathroom floor of his Graceland mansion. While his cause of death has always been in dispute, Elvis had an enlarged heart for a long time, with a strong family history of heart failure. Even though it is likely that his long drug use had a part to play, his autopsy confirmed that his heart was enlarged and thickened.

In 2014, his DNA sample was tested by Professor Stefan Shuester and Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, who found that Elvis Presley had a major mutation on Chromosome 11 that is known to cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy – the thickening of the heart muscle, which can lead to heart failure and/or sudden cardiac death.

I should also point out that her grandmother, Gladys Presley, died of a heart attack at just 46 years of age. Her grandfather, Vernon Presley, also died of a heart attack – two years after Elvis passed away.

As Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley not only inherited his wealth, she also inherited his family history of heart disease, including possibly that genetic mutation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Of course, we now know that Lisa Marie Presley died from the consequences of a small bowel obstruction, and not from any heart disease.

Fact #5 : Unknown If Lisa Marie Presley Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is currently unknown if Lisa Marie Presley was vaccinated against COVID-19, as she has never publicly mentioned her vaccination status.

For all we know – she may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

In fact, many people who were injured or died suddenly were actually unvaccinated, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar, Shane Macaulay, David Wayne Burleson, and Kaden Clymer.

Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Lisa Marie Presley received the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #6 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of celebrity deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false celebrity claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Did UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar die from vaccine-induced sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)?!

Right after news broke that Stephan Bonnar died suddenly at work, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the 45 year-old UFC Hall of Famer was a victim of COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Truth : Stephan Bonnar Did Not Die From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all athlete deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Stephan Bonnar Died From Drug Overdose!

Stephan Bonnar (born Stephan Patrick Bonnar on April 4, 1977) was an American mixed martial artist who was also known as The American Psycho. He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame on July 6, 2013.

On Thursday, December 22, 2022, UFC announced that Stephan Bonnar died from “presumed heart complications while at work“. Reports claim that he died from heart failure, but that was never confirmed.

The Clark County coroner’s office conducted an autopsy on Stephan Bonnar after his death. Typically, the coroner’s office determines a cause and manner of death within 90 days, but a spokesperson said that his case required more time because it required additional testing.

On Monday, April 24, 2023, the Clark County coroner’s office finally revealed their official cause of death for Stephan Bonnar – Fentanyl, Parafluorofentanyl and Mitragynine intoxication“. His death was ruled as “accidental“.

Fentanyl is the synthetic opioid that is responsible for many sudden deaths in the United States, while parafluorofentanyl is an analogue of fentanyl.

Fentanyl and its analogues are about 50X stronger than heroin, and 100X stronger than morphine, and have been linked to tens of thousands of deaths every single year, in the United States alone.

Mitragynine is the active compound derived from the kratom plant, and is commonly use in the United States as a painkiller, and to help with opioid withdrawal symptoms.

Fact #2 : Stephan Bonnar Used Steroids + Opioids

Stephan Bonnar had a history of steroids use. Back in November 2012, he tested positive for Drostanolone – an anabolic steroid. That was his second positive test, after testing positive for another anabolic steroid – Boldenone, in 2006.

He also had a history of opioid use. In a September 2021 interview with MMA Fighting, he shared that he was on a 30 mg/day regimen of oxycodone to treat his long-term injuries.

After his death, UFC middleweight Sean Strickland came out to criticise those who tried to whitewash his death, stating that Stephan Bonnar was addicted to opioids.

… the Stephan Bonnar I knew was fucking nuts. He was addicted to opioids, he got arrested, got kicked out of the hospital because they wouldn’t give him opioids, his gym went under during COVID.

The coroner’s report confirmed, once and for all, that the Stephan Bonnar was just another victim of the opioid crisis in the United States. It should be noted that he isn’t the first MMA fighter to die from fentanyl.

In May 2022, Bellator fighter Jordan Young was confirmed to have died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl and alprazolam (better known as Xanax).

Fact #3 : Stephan Bonnar Was Anti-Vaccine

It is hilarious to see anti-vaccination activists throw one of their own under the bus. Like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter and Kirstie Alley, Stephan Bonnar was anti-vaccination.

In September 2021, Bonnar posted a series of (now deleted) selfie videos in which he claimed he was being denied hospital treatment because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19.

Fact #4 : Stephan Bonnar Was Not Vaccinated

As far as I can tell – Stephan Bonnar was never vaccinated against COVID-19. He publicly spoke out against the COVID-19 vaccines, and said that he was not vaccinated in September 2021.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

So regardless of the actual / official cause of death for Stephan Bonnar, it had nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccines.

Fact #5 : Claims Of Athletes Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing athlete deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of athlete deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false. Here are just some of the latest examples:

Stephan Bonnar : Actual Cause of Death Revealed!

Leave a reply

The Clark County coroner just revealed the actual cause of death for UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar, and it was not vaccine-induced sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Stephan Bonnar – Vaccine SADS Was Cause Of Death!

Here are some examples on social media:

UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar dead at 45. If you’re vaxxed you should make sure your family knows your burial preferences. #vaccineinjuries #Vaccines #VaccineDeaths

UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar dead at 45 | This many young, physically active people simply do not just die as they have for the last 18 months. Vaccine-induced myocardial infarction.

UFC Hall Of Famer Stephan Bonnar DIED SUDDENLY At 45 SUSPECT COVID VACCINE 25th Dec, 2022

Truth : Stephan Bonnar – Drug Overdose Was Cause Of Death!

On Thursday, December 22, 2022, UFC announced that Stephan Bonnar died from “presumed heart complications while at work“. Reports claim that he died from heart failure. But note that it was their “presumption” at that time, not actual fact.

Immediately, anti-vaccination activists blamed his sudden death on the COVID-19 vaccine, with some remotely diagnosing Stephan Bonnar’s cause of death as vaccine-induced sudden adult death syndrome, or vaccine-induced myocarditis.

However, that’s just nonsense because Stephan Bonnar was anti-vaccination himself, like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, and Kirstie Alley.

In September 2021, Bonnar even posted a series of (now deleted) selfie videos in which he claimed he was being denied hospital treatment because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19!

Fentanyl is the synthetic opioid that is responsible for many sudden deaths in the United States, while parafluorofentanyl is an analogue of fentanyl.

Fentanyl and its analogues are about 50X stronger than heroin, and 100X stronger than morphine, and have been linked to tens of thousands of deaths every single year, in the United States alone.

Mitragynine is the active compound derived from the kratom plant, and is commonly use in the United States as a painkiller, and to help with opioid withdrawal symptoms.

Stephan Bonnar had a history of opioid use. In a September 2021 interview with MMA Fighting, he shared that he was on a 30 mg/day regimen of oxycodone to treat his long-term injuries.

After his death, UFC middleweight Sean Strickland came out to criticise those who tried to whitewash his death, stating that Stephan Bonnar was addicted to opioids.

In May 2022, Bellator fighter Jordan Young was confirmed to have died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl and alprazolam (better known as Xanax).

Stephan Bonnar joins a long list of athletes whose deaths / injuries were used to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, like these examples:

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next athlete tragedy…

Aaron Carter Autopsy Reveals True Cause of Death!

Leave a reply

Months after Aaron Carter mysteriously died in his bathtub, his final autopsy results are out, and we finally know his true cause of death!

Updated @ 2023-04-20 : Updated with Aaron Carter’s final autopsy report and cause of death.
Originally posted @ 2022-11-07

Aaron Carter Found Dead In His Bathtub

At around 11 AM on Saturday, November 5, 2022, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call, saying that “a male had drowned in the tub“.

When they arrived at the house at 4200 LA Vista Drive in Lancaster, California, they found Aaron Carter (born Aaron Charles Carter on December 7, 1987) dead in his bathtub.

Neighbours heard his maid, who found him dead in the bathtub, screaming, “He’s dead, he’s dead”, before calling the police. Two of them tried to assist her:

I have a police scanner for work and heard the call come in that there was an unresponsive male in the bathtub.

My wife is a nurse and we headed over and banged on the door, she had her AED [automated external defibrillator] with her.

A woman answered the door and was screaming, ‘He’s dead, he’s dead,’ but wouldn’t let us in because she’d already called the cops.

– Tony Cheval, a local photojournalist

Homicide detectives who were dispatched to the house, said that there was no evidence of foul play.

Aaron Carter’s body was later taken away by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office, for an autopsy to determine his official cause and manner of death.

Aaron Carter : Cause of Death Speculations

Almost immediately, netizens started speculating on what caused Aaron Carter to drown in his own bathtub.

Without fail, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that he died from vaccine-induced sudden death (SADS / VIDS / VDS). However, that’s complete and utter nonsense as Aaron Carter was an anti-vaxxer himself, and refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

He even lost his role In in the Las Vegas show – Naked Boys Singing, over his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. He ended up getting infected by COVID-19 twice.

Meanwhile, Aaron Carter’s actual friends suggested that the singer died either from suicide, or an accidental drug overdose.

Courtney Stodden said that Carter confided his troubles to her, and she was always afraid that “this was going to happen“.

I am literally so upset about Aaron Carter’s death.

He’s reached out to me so many times and I was always so afraid to think this was going to happen.

He called me to confide – I always hoped that he’d heal but now he’s at peace … I’m so gutted. #ripaaroncarter #rip #tooyoung

Todd Bridges specifically mentioned Aaron Carter’s long history of drug addiction in his tribute on Twitter:

Addiction is a Horrible battle. It’s a fight you can never stop fighting. Some of us get out to start over and some of us don’t make it. God still loves us all no matter what. God and my mom and me saved my life. RIP
Aaron carter my brother in Arms

Aaron Carter previously revealed that he was battling with multiple mental health issues in a 2019 appearance on The Doctors.

Not only was he diagnosed with schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, and acute anxiety; he was also manic depressive, and had post traumatic stress disorder. He was on quite a few medication to treat them:

The official diagnosis is that I suffer from multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia, acute anxiety and manic depression.

I’m prescribed to Xanax, Seroquel, Gabapentin, Hydroxyzine, Trazodone, Omeprazen. This is my reality. I have nothing to hide.

His sister, Leslie, also battled drug addiction and died in January 2012 from a drug overdose.

In September 2019, his own brother – Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter, actually filed a restraining order against Aaron, citing his “increasingly alarming behaviour”, and his “recent confessions” of wanting to kill Nick’s wife – Lauren Kitt, as well as their unborn child.

A close friend told The US Sun, that they do not believe that he committed suicide, as he was excitedly planning to work on new music with other artists flying into Los Angeles:

Aaron did not … suicide. He was planning to work on music in the next week with some artists from out of town. He was locking down [the] studio, planning travel logistics, and seemed very excited.

Any suggestion he was suicidal last night when he was in contact with his friends and team is wrong.

A drug overdose seems possible, as Aaron Carter survived about 100 seizures from his “dusting” addiction so far.

In September, some of his fans actually called the police to conduct a welfare check on him, after they suspected he was doing drugs. Halfway through a livestream, he turned off the camera but his fans could hear “spraying and inhaling going on in the background”.

Aaron Carter : Autopsy Results + Cause of Death Revealed!

Even before his autopsy results came out, we already know that Aaron Carter did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine. We do not need to be his doctor, or the coroner, to know that that’s not possible, because Aaron Carter never received the COVID-19 vaccine.

On November 7, the Los Angeles Medical Examiner-Coroner Office released its preliminary case report (2022-11542) for Aaron Carter’s autopsy. It stated that his body was examined by Dr. Hunt, the Deputy Medical Examiner; and was ready to be released to his family.

However, Aaron Carter’s official cause of death was “deferred pending additional investigation“. That usually means the coroner is waiting for blood, drug and/or toxicology test results to determine the cause and manner of death.

That changed 4.5 months later, when his final autopsy results (2022-11542) were released on Wednesday, April 7, 2023.

According to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner, Aaron Carter took alprazolam (generic Xanax), and “huffed” – inhaled compressed difluoroethane gas from cans of compressed air, before he sat in the bathtub filled with water.

He became “incapacitated while in the bathtub due to the effects” of the tranquilizer and huffing, and he ultimately slipped under the water, and drowned. His death was officially ruled as “accidental“.

His former fiancée, and the mother of his child, Melanie Martin, however, disputes the coroner’s findings, stating that:

The results of the autopsy are not closure for me. It claims death is by drowning but also adds he was wearing a t-shirt and necklace in the bathtub which doesn’t make sense, why would he be in a bathtub with clothes on?

I am still in shock and still miss Aaron every day. I don’t understand the chain of events and this report only has us asking more questions.

Did Paul Grant Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did Star Wars and Harry Potter actor Paul Grant die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Paul Grant Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Paul Grant collapsed outside King’s Cross Station, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the Star Wars and Harry Potter actor died suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS!

Another vaccine death?

‘Star Wars’ and ‘Harry Potter’ actor Paul Grant dead at 56 after collapsing at train station | Fox News

‘Star Wars’ and ‘Harry Potter’ actor Paul Grant dead at 56 after collapsing at train station

Fck that jab💉

Oh no another Died Suddenly from the mRNA jab #DiedSuddendly

No Evidence Paul Grant Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine SADS!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Paul Grant Was Found Unconscious

Paul Grant who starred in Labyrinth, as well as the Harry Potter and Star Wars movies was found by police offices to have collapsed outside the King’s Cross St. Pancras train station on Thursday afternoon, 16 March 2023.

He was rushed to the hospital, but was later declared brain dead. A British Transport Police spokesperson said:

Officers at King’s Cross responded to a medical emergency outside the station at just after 2pm on 16 March.

They performed CPR on a man before paramedics arrived and took over his care. He was taken to a local hospital in a critical condition.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson further explained:

We were called at 2.08pm on Thursday 16 March to reports of an incident at St Pancras Station, Euston Road.

We sent an ambulance crew and a medic in a response car. We treated a man at the scene and took him to hospital as a priority.

He died on Sunday, 19 March 2023, after the decision was made to turn off his life support machine. He was survived by his girlfriend, two daughters, a son, stepchildren, and grandchildren. His daughter, Sophie Jayne Grant, said:

I’m devastated. My dad was a legend in so many ways. He always brought a smile and laughter to everyone’s face. He would do anything for anyone and was a massive Arsenal fan.

He was an actor, father and grandad. He loved his daughters and son and his girlfriend Maria very much, as well as her kids who were like stepchildren to him. My dad I love you so much sleep tight.

Fact #2 : Paul Grant’s Cause Of Death Is Unknown

Some people are claiming that Paul Grant died of a heart attack, but there is simply no evidence of that.

Law enforcement officials and his family have not revealed his cause of death. He could have died from any number of natural causes, from a heart attack to a stroke, or even cardiac arrest.

Until and unless the authorities or his family reveal his cause of death, anyone who tells you that Paul Grant died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #3 : Paul Grant Had Long History Of Drug + Alcohol Abuse

Paul Grant had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse. In fact, just last month – in February 2023, he gave an interview outside the same St. Pancras train station, and shared how he spent all of his money on sex workers and drugs. He also admitted to “blowing” his Star Wars fortune, and that he had been “drinking too much”.

A family friend also said that the 4 foot 4-inch actor had always battled drug and alcohol addiction.

He was a lovely bloke. He’s always battled with drugs and alcohol addiction but he was a talented actor.

He called himself the “King of the Dwarfs”. It’s so sad.

It is possible that Paul Grant’s long drug and alcohol use may have contributed to his death at 56 years of age.

Fact #4 : Unknown If Paul Grant Was Vaccinated

Paul Grant never publicly revealed his COVID-19 vaccination status, so it is unknown if he ever received the COVID-19 vaccine.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory, which is why many people like Kris Jordan, Aaron Carter, Kirstie Alley and Stephan Bonnar were never vaccinated.

Until and unless his family reveals his vaccination status, anyone who tells you that Paul Grant was fully-vaccinated or boosted is likely lying to you.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Paul Grant was vaccinated against COVID-19, he would have received all of his doses more than a year ago.

He cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Fact #6 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Did Tom Sizemore Get Brain Aneurysm From Vaccine?!

Leave a reply

Did Tom Sizemore die after suffering a ruptured brain aneurysm from the COVID-19 vaccine?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2023-03-05 : Added new details of Tom Sizemore’s stroke and death
Originally posted @ 2023-02-20

Claim : Tom Sizemore Died From Brain Aneurysm Caused By Vaccine!

After news broke that Tom Sizemore was taken off life support after suffering a ruptured brain aneurysm, people immediately claimed that the Hollywood actor died from a COVID-19 vaccine injury!

Actor Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan) has been hospitalized after suffering a brain aneurysm. He is currently in critical condition. So many actors have the #clotshot – they can’t work without them. An aneurysm is on the list of 1600 possible side effects from the #vaccine.

Prayers and best wishes to actor Tom Sizemore that is in critical condition after suffering a brain aneurysm. So many people dropping dead and facing serious health problems since the covid vaccines. Natural immunity is all we need. Our bodies are built to deal with these issues

I’m sure they all got the vax to keep their “Actors Union” cards…. But, what do I know?🫤

Tom Sizemore in critical condition after suffering brain aneurysm

Truth : Tom Sizemore Did Not Die From Brain Aneurysm Caused By Vaccine!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Tom Sizemore Suffered A Ruptured Brain Aneurysm

Tom Sizemore (born Thomas Edward Sizemore Jr. on November 29, 1961) rose to fame for his roles in Saving Private Ryan, Heat, Pearl Harbour and Black Hawk Down.

At around 2 AM on Saturday, February 18, 2023, Tom Sizemore suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm at his Los Angeles home. Fortunately, someone found him, and quickly called 911.

EMS units responded and took the 61 year-old actor to a local hospital, where he was being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, he showed no signs of improvement and remained in a coma.

Doctors informed family that there is no further hope and have recommended [an] end of life decision.

The ruptured aneurysm essentially causes a hemorrhagic stroke with increased intracranial pressure, and could even cause an ischaemic stroke if nearby blood vessels undergo vasospasm and constrict, limiting blood flow to the brain.

On March 4, he passed away after his family took him off life support. Tom Sizemore’s representative issued this statement:

It is with great sadness and sorrow I have to announce that actor Thomas Edward Sizemore, aged 61, passed away peacefully in his sleep today at St Joseph’s Hospital Burbank. His Brother Paul and twin boys Jayden and Jagger were at his side.

Fact #2 : Tom Sizemore Had Long History Of Drug Abuse

It did not help that Tom Sizemore had a long history of substance abuse, battling drug addiction since he was just 15 years old. Even convictions for drug offences did little to stop his addiction. On May 8, 2007, Sizemore was arrested for possession of methamphetamine while on probation for a previous drug conviction!

In 2013, he claimed that fellow actor Robert De Niro “forced” him to kick his drug habit, personally checking him into rehab. Despite De Niro’s help, Sizemore was arrested on January 5, 2019, for possession of “various illegal narcotics in Burbank, California.

Whether his long history of drug abuse may have caused the rupture of his brain aneurysm is uncertain, but it likely affected his chance of recovering from that traumatic event.

Fact #3 : Unknown If Tom Sizemore Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

It is currently unknown if Tom Sizemore was vaccinated against COVID-19, as he has never publicly mentioned his vaccination status.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

For example, anti-vaccination activists claimed that Kaden Clymer was almost crippled by a 6-foot long vaccine-induced blood clot, but the high school athlete was never vaccinated against COVID-19!

Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Tom Sizemore received the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.

Fact #4 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Create A Brain Aneurysm

Just in case there is any doubt, COVID-19 vaccines cannot create a brain aneurysm.

An aneurysm is a physical weakening of an artery in the brain, that bulges into a blood-filled balloon. Small aneurysms generally do not produce any symptoms unless they rupture. Large ones, however, may exert pressure on nearby nerves and tissues causing symptoms like numbness, weakness, paralysis, etc.

When an aneurysm ruptures, the person will experience a sudden and extremely severe headache and even vomiting and seizures, before losing consciousness. The resulting haemorrhage causes brain damage, leading to coma and even death.

Getting vaccinated does not increase your risk of developing brain aneurysms, but these risk factors will:

genetic predisposition, like connective tissue disorders, polycystic kidney disease, history of aneurysm in close family members
untreated hypertension (high blood pressure)
cigarette smoking
drug abuse, especially cocaine or amphetamines (because they raise blood pressure)
intravenous drug abuse, which causes infectious mycotic aneurysms
age over 40

As you can tell, Tom Sizemore definitely has two or more of those risk factors!

Fact #5 : Aneurysm is Not A Vaccine Side Effect

The claim that aneurysm is in the list of vaccine side effects is nonsense and based on the (intentional?) misunderstanding of the Adverse Events of Special interest (AESI) list.

The AESI list is not a list of vaccine side effects. It’s a list of mostly non-specific adverse events that are monitored post-vaccination, and includes COVID-19 and other infections, as well as:

manufacturing and lab test issues like “Manufacturing laboratory analytical testing issue, Manufacturing materials issue, Manufacturing production issue“.
product supply issues like “Product availability issue, Product distribution issue, Product supply issue“.

They are obviously not vaccine side effects, nor related in any way to the performance or safety of the vaccine.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccines Cannot Prevent Other Illnesses

COVID-19 vaccines are designed to protect us against severe illness and death from COVID-19, by teaching our own immune system how to create antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

They, however, cannot protect us against other causes of death, whether it’s pneumonia, cardiac arrest or even other viruses. Hence, fully-vaccinated people can and will suffer from other illnesses.

Even assuming Tom Sizemore was fully-vaccinated, it is ludicrous for anti-vaccination activists to blame his ruptured aneurysm on the vaccine. Did they really expect the COVID-19 vaccine to be an elixir of immortality? Please grow up.

Fact #7 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Aaron Carter : Mother Demands Criminal Investigation!

Leave a reply

The investigation into how Aaron Carter died is still ongoing, but his mother just released photos to demand criminal investigations into his sudden death!

Aaron Carter : Mother Demands Criminal Investigation!

Jane Schneck – Aaron Carter’s mother – just released death scene photos from his bathroom, to “prove” that he died from a crime, and not a drug overdose.

By posting those grisly photos, she hopes the authorities will launch a “real investigation” into her son’s sudden death.

Still trying to get a real investigation for the death of my son Aaron Carter

I want to share these death scene photos with you all because the coroner wrote it off as an accidental drug overdose

They never investigated it as a possible crime scene because of his addiction past

Look at the photos

They were not taken by the police

But they allowed people to go in and out.although a lot of potential homicide information was there for years

Aaron had a lot of death threats and many many people who were making his life miserable

The photos that Jane Schneck shared were taken on the day Aaron was found dead, and included a shot of the bathtub in which his body was found.

The water in the bathtub has a greenish tint, because Aaron Carter had died for several hours before his housekeeper found him.

The other photos showed towels on the floor, and what appears to be dirty stains on the tiled floor of the bathroom. The cans of compressed air that were allegedly found in his bathroom were not seen in those photos.

Jane Schneck said that her decision to post the photos were supported by family and friends, because they were not taken seriously by law enforcement.

I’m totally supported by the family and friends who know I had to post the awful photos

It’s because we are not and have not been taken seriously by Law Enforcement in especially Lancaster Ca

They allowed everyone to tromp through what should have been at least an investigation

Because of my son’s mental illness and prescription drug issues they just wanted it to be something easy that they didn’t have the time or inclination to address

This won’t work for me or Melanie or anyone who truly loved him

We want answers
We want justice
There are people who must be held accountable

A day or so later, Jane Schneck claimed that the Los Angeles Police Department is “finally investigating Aaron’s death“.

I’m happy to say that the Los Angeles police department is finally investigating Aaron’s death
It was only possible because of TMZ and the support they have given me by unfortunately posting my posts

She also said that the detective is going to interview certain people who might be potentially involved in Aaron Carter’s death:

Thankfully, it seems like now that the Detective is going to interview certain people
Ganvile
Spencer
Betty
Angel Kowinsky
Everyone who was involved at the end
He was manipulated and driven over the edge by all the users
Melanie knows them all
Louie ( got Aaron on whippets and back on drugs)
Check what ever he is
Spencer ( got at least 100 thousand)
Neighbors ( who sold stories)

In her latest post, she asserted again that the Los Angeles Police Department was looking seriously into Aaron Carter’s death as a “possible homicide”.

I’m so happy
The Los Angeles PD is really looking seriously into Aarons death as a possible Homicide
It means that he will get justice
I’m really hoping that they can prove he did not do that to himself
He had everything to live for
A beautiful son

Investigators Believe Aaron Carter Died From Overdose

Law enforcement officers believe that Aaron Carter died from a drug overdose, as his autopsy did not find any water in the lungs, which meant he did not drown in the bathtub as suspected earlier.

Police officers at the scene also found multiple cans of compressed air in Aaron Carter’s bathroom and bedroom, as well as bottles of prescription pills.

In a statement released in response to Jane Schneck’s postings, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said:

Homicide detectives are continuing their investigation into the death of Aaron Carter. To date, there has been no evidence of foul play found during the investigation. The results of Mr. Carter’s autopsy are still pending. The investigation remains ongoing

Aaron Carter’s own PR aide, Holly Davidson, had earlier admitted that he was huffing computer duster spray.

This form of inhalant abuse can cause permanent brain damage, as well as seizures, coma and even sudden cardiac arrest. It can also cause asphyxiation by displacing oxygen in the lungs, with the inhalant.

Aaron Carter admitted on a 2019 episode of The Doctors that he was addicted to huffing compressed air. He even claimed that his late sister, Leslie Carter, introduced him to the habit, before fatally overdosing in January 2012, at the age of 25.

It seems quite likely that Aaron Carter may have accidentally overdosed or asphyxiated while huffing on compressed air. Although he had mental health issues, no suicide note was found.

In any case, that determination will be made by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office, which has completed its autopsy of Aaron Carter, but has deferred the autopsy results, pending additional investigations.

The only thing we know for certain right now is that the COVID-19 vaccine did not kill Aaron Carter.

Jansen Panettiere : New Tragic Details Of His Death!

Leave a reply

More details about Jansen Panettiere, and the circumstances surround his tragic death has just emerged!

Jansen Panettiere : New Tragic Details Of His Death!

Jansen Panettiere (born Jansen Rayne Panettiere on September 25, 1994) is the younger and only brother of Hayden Panettiere. Like his more famous sister, Jansen was an actor, starring in movies and television shows.

At around 5:30 PM on Sunday, February 19, 2023, the New York Police Department (NYPD) received a call to an apartment in Nyack, New York. Jansen Panettiere was dead when they arrived.

Jansen Panettiere was only 28 years old when he died, leaving behind his sister Hayden, and parents Lesley Vogel and Skip Panettiere, as well as his girlfriend, Catherine Michie.

On February 22, the Orangetown Police Department released a report, which revealed more details about Jansen Panettiere, and the circumstances surrounding his death… including a potential cause of death!

Let’s take a look at what both reports revealed…

His Father Spoke To Him The Night Before

According to the report, Jansen and Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan Lee “Skip” Panettiere felt that his son was doing just fine before his unexpected death..

Skip told investigators that “he spoke to [the] deceased via telephone the night before and he sounded okay“.

His Friends Found Him Sitting Upright

The report also stated that three friends – Benjamin Brown, Joe Fails and Lars Arianti, showed up at his Nyack apartment after he failed to show up for a business meeting.

When they arrived, they found Jansen “sitting upright in a chair unresponsive” in his living room. Jansen was reportedly already dead when he got there – he was not breathing and cold to the touch. Even so, they performed CPR on him, hoping to somehow revive him.

Joe Fails phoned 911, while another friend called Jansen and Hayden’s father, who arrived at the scene while Benjamin Brown was doing chest compressions.

When EMTs arrived, they saw Jansen Panettiere lying on his back on the floor of his living room “not breathing, and cold to the touch with lividity“, and pronounced him dead. His body was later taken to the Rockland County morgue.

No Signs Of Trauma

The police have said that “no foul play was suspected” in the sudden death of Jansen Panettiere.

The report further indicated that “Deceased was pronounced dead on arrival by an EMT” and that “there were no obvious signs of trauma observed“.

Jansen Panettiere Was Addicted To Opioids

According to the DailyMail, his neighbours said that Jansen Panettiere was addicted to prescription painkillers – believed to be oxycodone, and had been “popping them like gumballs” over the years.

Jansen Panettiere went to rehab for his drug addiction a year before his sudden death, and sobered up. However, he apparently fell off the wagon in recent months.

His neighbours told DailyMail that that they wouldn’t be surprised if he died from a fatal overdose. They said that Jansen was often seen returning to his apartment in the early hours of the morning looking “wasted” and “shabbily dressed”.

Jansen Panettiere : What We Know So Far About His Death!

While some people are claiming Jansen Panettiere died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) caused by the COVID-19 vaccine, there is really no evidence of that.

Under New York state law, an autopsy must be conducted on Jansen Panettiere. Kasey Kitchen – a representative for his sister, Hayden Panettiere, also said that an investigation into his sudden death is underway.

Until an official cause of death is revealed after the investigation and autopsy are complete, it would be irresponsible to claim that he died from the COVID-19 vaccine.

A source close to the family told DailyMail that Hayden Panettiere had been left “inconsolable” over the sudden death of her only brother and “best friend” Jansen, following a battle with “terrible anxiety and depression“.

According to that inside source, Jansen had been “having a rough time lately” with his career:

He had been having a rough time lately with his career and he was dragged in so many directions.

Hayden is just inconsolable. He was her best friend and her only brother. He was such a nice guy but he lived on the edge.

Jansen Panettiere also alluded to his frustration with his acting career in his graffiti art website, while his personal website states that the actor turned to painting to paint “his problem”. It also said that he was “ridden with terrible anxiety and depression” as an adult living in Los Angeles.

In October 10, 2019, Jansen Panettiere posted in Medium about his anxiety and depression, suggesting that he had given up acting.

That said, we really don’t know if Jansen Panettiere committed suicide, or died from an overdose. We will only know for sure after both the Rockland County’s Medical Examiner and the Orangetown Police Department have completed their autopsy and investigation into his sudden death.

Did Jeremy Ruehlemann Die Suddenly From Vaccine?!

Did 27 year-old model Jeremy Ruehlemann die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Jeremy Ruehlemann Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Jeremy Ruehlemann suddenly collapsed and died, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the 27 year-old model died from the COVID-19 vaccine!

DiedSuddenly : CONFIRMED: 27 Year old model Jeremy Ruehlemann, who #diedsuddenly over the weekend, was CONFIRMED vaccinated 💉

Jeremy Ruehlemann, 27, a young healthy model #DiedSuddendly this week, yet corporate media refuses to mention the word “#vaccine” in any of their coverage.

The latest victim confirmed to be fully #vaccinated. #VaccineDeaths #VaccineSideEffects

Model Jeremy Ruehlemann has died due to Covid 19 vaccine injection.

He was only 27 years old and healthy. #DiedSuddendly

Truth : Jeremy Ruehlemann Did Not Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Jeremy Ruehlemann Was Found Unconscious

At 9:50 AM on Saturday, January 21, 2023, the New York Police Department (NYPD) received a 911 call about an “unconscious male” at a midtown Manhattan apartment.

NYPD officers arrived at the apartment, to find 27 year-old Jeremy Ruehlemann “unconscious and unresponsive” in the bathroom. Unfortunately, he could not be revived, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The fashion model had been living with his mother for the past year in upstate New York, and worked as a bartender in a Woodstock restaurant. He often travel into the city for modelling jobs, staying with his brother or a friend.

His death was announced by fashion designer Christian Siriano, who called Ruehlemann his muse:

I have never posted anything like this but to lose a friend who was such a beautiful soul is just really hard. This is for Jeremy, the most beautiful man that gave so much love to everyone he met no matter what. He was one of my muses and he always will be.

He inspired me and I will love him forever. I’m sending all my love to his family and friends who lost someone so special. I know we will meet again one day but right now I just want to hug him. Rest well J we all love you so much! Send love to his family today please.

Fact #2 : His Father Said Jeremy Ruehlemann Died From Drug Overdose

On Tuesday, January 24, his father, Achim Ruehlemann, said that Jeremy likely died from an accidental drug overdose.

He did rehab and had tried to get off prescription medication. Obviously, he was not successful. There was no desire to end his life, this was accidental.

Obviously, he had some issues with drug addiction, but he was very happy. He loved life. He was very vibrant, a wonderful soul and a very giving guy.

Fact #3 : His Cause Of Death Is Still Under Investigation

I should point out though that the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office is still investigating his death, and has not issued an official cause of death.

Achim Ruehlemann also noted that they are not “100 per cent sure exactly what happened”, as they are still waiting for the toxicology test results to be released.

Until the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner confirms the cause of death for Jeremy Ruehlemann, it is important to say that we do not have an official cause of death.

As it stands though, there is NO EVIDENCE Jeremy Ruehlemann died from the COVID-19 vaccine, and it seems more than likely he died from an accidental overdose of prescription medicine.

Fact #4 : Jeremy Ruehlemann Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19

Jeremy Ruehlemann was vaccinated against COVID-19, posting a photo of himself getting the vaccine on March 20, 2021.

Jeremy appeared to suffer no ill effects from his COVID-19 vaccination, posting “💉✔️🙌🏼”

I should point out that COVID-19 vaccines are meant to protect us against hospitalisation and death from SARS-CoV-2 virus infections, by training our own immune system to recognise the virus and create antibodies against it.

The COVID-19 vaccines cannot prevent hospitalisations or death from other causes of death. It is not an elixir of immortality.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Jeremy Ruehlemann was vaccinated 22 months ago. He cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not many months later.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITTdevelop within days.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Fact #6 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing sudden deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Did Gangsta Boo Die Suddenly From Vaccine SADS?!

Leave a reply

Did trailblazing Memphis rapper Gangsta Boo die suddenly from vaccine-induced sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)?!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Gangsta Boo Died Suddenly From Vaccine SADS!

Right after news broke that Gangsta Boo died suddenly at 43 years of age, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the trailblazing Memphis rapper was a victim of COVID-19 vaccine sudden adult death syndrome (SADS)!

Here are some examples on social media:

Gangsta Boo took the vax🤦🏾‍♂️

Former member of Three 6 Mafia, Gangsta Boo, has passed away during New Years day, due to trouble breathing; which may be the cause of fentanyl overdose or COVID vaccine.

Décès de Gangsta Boo à seulement 43 ans. Encore une mort très soudaine inexpliquée…🙄
Le vaccin contre la #COVID19 ?💉 R.I.P Gangsta Boo. 🙏

Death of Gangsta Boo at only 43 years old. Another very sudden unexplained death… 🙄
The vaccine against #COVID19 ? 💉 RIP Gangsta Boo. 🙏

Truth : Gangsta Boo Did Not Die From Vaccine SADS!

It’s now a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Gangsta Boo Was Found Dead Outside Her Home

Gangsta Boo (born Lola Chantrelle Mitchell on August 7, 1979) was an American rapper who was once part of the Memphis-based hip hop group, Three 6 Mafia.

On Sunday, January 1, 2023, Gangsta Boo was found dead at around 4 PM on the porch of her Whitehaven home near Raines Road, between the Grace Methodist Church and the Whitehaven Public Library.

Her bandmate DJ Paul and her representative confirmed her death, but did not share her cause of death.

Fact #2 : Gangsta Boo Apparently Died From A Drug Overdose

Sources related to Gangsta Boo told TMZ that her death “appears to be drug related”.

Gangsta Boo was with her brother at a local concert in Memphis on New Year’s Eve, and her brother overdosed sometime that night, and had to be hospitalised.

While her brother ended up okay, Gangsta Boo was allegedly found with narcotics on her body, and a fentanyl-laced substance is believed to be the cause.

Fact #3 : Police Launched An Investigation Into Her Death

The Memphis police will apparently be launching an official investigation into her death, and an autopsy will be performed to determine her official cause of death.

Until that autopsy report is out, anyone who tells you that Gangsta Boo died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.

Fact #4 : Gangsta Boo Was Likely Vaccinated

Gangsta Boo did not share her COVID-19 vaccination record publicly, but she was pro-vaccination, posting in February 2021 that people are unnecessarily worried about the vaccine.

I don’t get how someone could be so worried about taking a covid test or vaccine but have community tongue and dick. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I call ppl out to much. Gotta let a dead dog lay at times.

Even so, in August 2021, she appeared to warn people about just getting the booster dose.

Booster shots huh

Be careful outchea everyone

Research, don’t just take shots because the TV tell ya too or ya homies. Do what’s best for you

Again, we have no way to determine if she was vaccinated against COVID-19, or not. But it is likely that she was fully-vaccinated but did not take the booster dose.

Fact #5 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days

Even if Gangsta Boo was fully-vaccinated, she would have received her two doses over a year ago.

Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.

Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and TTS develop within days.

The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.

Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Can Be Proven

Despite anti-vaccination activists chalking up celebrity injuries to the vaccine; injury from rare vaccine adverse effects like myocarditis and TTS can be proven.

Gangsta Boo’s death, like that of Tyler Sanders, will be investigated and an autopsy performed. If there is any vaccine injury, the autopsy will prove it.

Vaccine-induced myocarditis has distinct histopathology findings that are different from typical myocarditis, so a pathologist will be able to determine if the myocarditis was caused by the vaccines or otherwise.

Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) is very specific to the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. It is also easily differentiated by its unique combination of blood clots in large veins of the brains, abdomen and lungs, together with low platelet counts leading to bleeding tendencies.

Fact #7 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of celebrity deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false celebrity claims!

Tyler Sanders : Cause of Death Was Not Vaccine!

The autopsy results of Emmy-nominated actor Tyler Sanders is out, and it showed that he did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine!

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2022-12-30 : Added Tyler Sanders’ autopsy report, and official cause of death.
Updated @ 2022-07-09 : Added new info on his funeral, autopsy and cause of death.

Claim : Tyler Sanders Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Mere hours after news broke that Tyler Sanders – who starred in Fear of the Walking Dead and 911 Lone Star – died, people started claiming that he died from the COVID-19 vaccine.

Here are just a few examples of those claims circulating on social media :

Tyler Sanders dead at 18: 9-1-1 Lone Star actor dies. Seriously. You don’t need a Uni Degree or be a Doctor to 100% know that he died from the COVID Vaccine. Are you people really going to just accept “Suddenly Unknown Reason” as a Valid excuse. FFS.

The Vaccine kills another actor. Tyler Sanders dead at 18: ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ actor was an Emmy nominee

Yet another young life lost. There’s Sudden Adult Death Syndrome too. Young athletes popping off et al. What’s changed eh? Some would suspect #vaccines I suppose. 9-1-1: Lone Star’ actor Tyler Sanders dead at 18

Tyler Sanders : Cause of Death Was Not Vaccine!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why… and the current facts that we know so far.

Fact #1 : Police Found Tyler Sanders Dead At Home

The Los Angeles police received a call on Thursday, 16 June 2022, to conduct a welfare check on Tyler Sanders, after his friends didn’t hear from him after a night out.

They found Tyler Sanders alone in his home, and pronounced him deceased. His agent, Pedro Tapia, confirmed his death in a statement on Friday, 17 June 2022 :

Tyler was a talented actor with a bright future. He comes from a wonderful family and we ask that you respect their privacy at this time.

Fact #2 : Tyler Sanders’ Death Treated As Suspected Overdose

On July 5, sources connected to the investigation told TMZ that Tyler Sanders’ death was being “treated as a suspected [drug] overdose“.

Tyler Sanders reportedly had a history of drug use, and the LA police found a plastic straw and white powder in the room where his body was found.

Fact #3 : Autopsy Report Confirmed Tyler Sanders’s Cause Of Death

The L.A. County’s Medical Examiner-Coroner stated that they completed his autopsy on Friday (17 June), and posted on their website that they had already released his body (to his family).

At that time, they deferred the report pending additional investigations. Once the results of those tests / studies are in, , will make a final determination of his cause of death.

On Thursday, December 29, 2022, Dr. Parks – the Deputy Medical Examiner in charge of his case finalised the report, stating that his cause of death was fentanyl effects, and it was accidental.

In the autopsy report, the Medical Examiner said that Tyler Sanders told a friend in text messages the night before his death that he was using fentanyl. Tyler did not answer phone calls from that friend, after sending that message about fentanyl.

The Medical Examiner also said that Tyler Sanders had no known medical issues, but had a history of drug abuse of heroin, LSD, mushrooms and Xanax. Finally, the report noted that he was found unresponsive in his own bed, and illicit drugs were found in the bathroom.

Fact #4 : David Sanders Referred To An Apparent Drug Overdose

Someone who attended Tyler Sanders’ funeral in Houston told TMZ that his father, David Sanders, delivered an eulogy in which he told them that Tyler died of an apparent drug overdose.

Fact #5 : Tyler Sanders Was Apparently Battling Depression

Tyler Sanders allegedly started struggling with depression when he began filming “9-1-1”.

David Sanders also told those who attended his funeral “how Tyler’s brain was wired to where he could not feel happiness“.

Fact #6 : Tyler Sanders Looked Healthy + Well 3 Days Prior

Tyler Sanders was on vacation with his family in Vail, Colorado, just a few days before he died.

His last Instagram post was on June 13, which showed him looking real swank in his blue suit. He certainly looks fit and healthy.

Two days earlier, he posted this great shot of white water rafting with his family in Vail, Colorado.

These recent photos contradict claims that he was suffering from vaccine side effects.

Fact #7 : Unknown If Tyler Sanders Was Even Vaccinated

It is currently unknown if Tyler Sanders was vaccinated against COVID-19, so it would be wrong for anyone to claim that he died from COVID-19 vaccines.

For all we know – he may not even be vaccinated! The COVID-19 vaccine is not mandatory in the United States, despite what anti-vaccination activists may claim.

Fact #8 : COVID-19 Vaccines Proven Safe + Effective

COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.

In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.

Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.

Fact #9 : Vaccine Side Effects Generally Last Only A Few Days

COVID-19 vaccine side effects are generally mild, and last only a few days.

In rare cases, the recipient may suffer from blood clots (AstraZeneca) or myocarditis (Pfizer), but they develop within days of receiving the vaccine, not months later.

If Tyler received the COVID-19 vaccine, he would have received all his doses last year. It is quite impossible for his death to be related to any COVID-19 vaccine he may have received months earlier.

Fact #10 : Post-Vaccination Myocarditis Occurs Within Days

If Tyler Sanders was indeed vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine from Pfizer or Moderna, it is true that he has a very small risk of developing post-vaccination myocarditis.

However, he would develop myocarditis within days of the vaccination, with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, etc.

He would not be able to undertake strenuous activities like… going white water rafting with his family!

I should also point out that the risk of developing myocarditis from a COVID-19 infection is over a hundred times higher than developing myocarditis from three doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

So if you are really worried about myocarditis, you should definitely get vaccinated against COVID-19!

Fact #11 : Claims Of Celebrities Dying From COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False

This is yet another example of anti-vaccination activists abusing celebrity deaths / injuries to create and propagate FAKE NEWS about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.

So far, claims of celebrity deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false at every instance. Here is the latest dozen that I have personally fact checked.

Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity death…

What Aaron Carter’s Last Texts To Sonya Cruz Reveal!

Leave a reply

Take a look at the last text messages between Aaron Carter and Sonya Cruz, and find out what they reveal!

Aaron Carter Texted Sonya Cruz Before He Died

The last time anyone saw Aaron Carter alive was 2 AM on Friday, November 4, 2022 – just one day before he was found dead.

At that time, the police came to conduct a welfare check. His housekeeper – a formerly homeless Ghanaian woman known only as Betty, opened the door, but Aaron told them to leave and asked his housekeeper not to bother him.

The housekeeper did not see Aaron Carter all day Friday, but on Saturday morning, she went to his bedroom door to see if he wanted coffee.

That’s when she heard his dog inside the bedroom going crazy. When she opened the door, she found Aaron’s body in the tub, with the water jets still running.

She called the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at around 11 AM on Saturday, November 5, to report that she found him drowned in his tub.

But what we didn’t know earlier was that swimsuit model, Sonya Cruz, was the last person to communicate with Aaron Carter, just hours before he died.

What Aaron Carter’s Last Texts To Sonya Cruz Reveal!

On Monday, 14 November 2022, Sonya Cruz revealed that Aaron Carter texted her in the hours leading to his death, asking her to go over. He even offered to pay for her Uber and drive her back later.

His Instagram messages to her were quite revealing – he sounded intoxicated, literally “slurring” in his texts.

You shouodnsee me soon

ASAP

Like tomorrow

My placeee

Ok sweetheart

Or you could just coke now

Come**

I’ll Uber you and drive you back whatever.

The 24 year-old swimsuit model replied that they would “talk tomorrow after you get up“, and signed off with “xox“.

That would never happen because he would be found dead next morning, surrounded by compressed air cans used for huffing.

His PR aide, Holly Davidson, later revealed that Aaron Carter had been huffing computer duster spray.

The odd syntax and typos in his messages strongly suggest that Aaron Carter was intoxicated on inhalants from the compressed air cans while he was typing them to Sonya Cruz.

Sonya did not seem to realise that Aaron was high on inhalants, or perhaps, she was just used to it. She has only known Carter for a few months, but told DailyMail that she regretted “not spending more time when he would ask to“.

I do regret not spending more time when he would ask to. I just had no idea something like this would happen and and did think he would always be in my life.

He was a complete angel and very kind. May he rest in peace.

The messages also suggest that while Aaron Carter may have his mental health issues, he was not suicidal. If nothing else, he was looking forward to meeting up with Sonya Cruz the next day.

Until his deferred autopsy results are revealed, all evidence so far points to an accidental overdose of inhalant as Aaron Carter’s cause of death. Certainly not the COVID-19 vaccine as many antivaxxers are claiming.

Aaron Carter : New Sudden Death Details Revealed!

Leave a reply

Shocking new details have been revealed, offering new clues on how Aaron Carter possibly died in his bathtub!

Aaron Carter : Events Leading To His Death

The last time anyone saw Aaron Carter alive was 2 AM on Friday, November 4, 2022 – just one day before he was found dead.

The police were called to conduct a welfare check, although it was unclear who asked them to so.

His housekeeper – a formerly homeless Ghanaian woman known only as Betty, opened the door, but Aaron told them to leave and asked his housekeeper not to bother him.

The housekeeper did not see Aaron Carter all day Friday, but on Saturday morning, she went to his bedroom door to see if he wanted coffee.

That’s when she heard his dog inside the bedroom going crazy. When she opened the door, she found Aaron’s body in the tub, with the water jets still running.

She called the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at around 11 AM on Saturday, November 5, to report that she found him drowned in his tub.

Two neighbours who went to assist her, heard screaming, “He’s dead, he’s dead”

I have a police scanner for work and heard the call come in that there was an unresponsive male in the bathtub.

My wife is a nurse and we headed over and banged on the door, she had her AED [automated external defibrillator] with her.

A woman answered the door and was screaming, ‘He’s dead, he’s dead,’ but wouldn’t let us in because she’d already called the cops.

– Tony Cheval, a local photojournalist

Homicide detectives were dispatched to his house at 4200 LA Vista Drive in Lancaster, California, where they found him dead in his bathtub.

Aaron Carter Was Likely Huffing Before His Death

Law enforcement officers believe that Aaron died in the bathtub for a long time, as there was a smell of decomposition, and the water had turned an unnatural colour.

Police officers said that there was no evidence of foul play at this time. However, they found multiple cans of compressed air in Aaron Carter’s bathroom and bedroom, as well as bottles of prescription pills.

Aaron Carter’s PR aide, Holly Davidson, later told DailyMail that he was huffing computer duster spray.

It seems quite likely that Aaron Carter may have accidentally overdosed or asphyxiated while huffing on compressed air. Although he had mental health issues, no suicide note was found.

4.5 months after his autopsy was conducted, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner released his final autopsy results, certifying that he died from drowning after being incapacitated by alprazolam and difluoroethane gas. Needless to say, the COVID-19 vaccine did not kill Aaron Carter.

Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Updated @ 2022-06-10 : Added Alison Hawkins’ official statement.
Updated @ 2022-03-29 : Added more details about Hawkins and his health.

Claim : Foo Fighters Drummer Taylor Hawkins Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!

Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins, was found dead in his hotel room in Bogota, Colombia on 25 March 2022.

Almost immediately after the news broke, people started claiming that he died from his COVID-19 vaccine. Here are a few examples…

Taylor Hawkins death: Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins dead at 50

And yet another unexpected death but not for us. It’s a death from the Vaccine, which is happening over and over yet the Sheep still think it’s natural that fit and healthy did suddenly.

Did TAYLOR HAWKINS get the PIFZER or MODERMA? COVID-19 VACCINES. WE will never get the TRUTH or ANY VERIFICATION of TAYLOR HAWKINS DEATH. We are the sheep being led to a “MEDIA SLAUGHTER”

#FooFighters drummer Taylor Hawkins actual cause of death will never be revealed ! They will call it an overdose. Dave Grohl forced the vaccine on Taylor. Grohl more than likely is responsible for his demise. RIP Taylor !

Dave Grohl is responsible for Taylor Hawkins death. Taylor was FORCED to take the Vaccine as Grohl insisted any and all people at his concerts be Vaxed

Truth : Foo Fighters Drummer Taylor Hawkins Did NOT Die From Vaccine!

It’s becoming a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths on the COVID-19 vaccine.

And yet again, they are wrong – Taylor Hawkins did not die from the COVID-19 vaccine, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Hawkins Complained Of Chest Pain Before Death

Hawkins actually called the hotel front desk for help, complaining of “chest pain”, and hotel staff immediately called emergency services while a private doctor tried to revive him.

Unfortunately, he did not respond, and was pronounced dead when emergency services arrived. The Bogota City Health Department issued a statement mentioning that :

With regards to the death of the American musician Taylor Hawkins in the neighborhood of Chapinero, which happened on Friday night, the City Health Department states the following:

The city’s Emergency Regulation Centre received an alert about a patient with chest pain in a hotel located in the north of the city.

An ambulance was sent to attend to this case. However when the health department teams arrived, they found a mobile response unit from the company EMI at the scene.

The health professional that was dealing with the emergency indicated attempts to revive the patient had been carried out but there had been no response and the patient was pronounced dead.

Members of the Technical Investigation Corps (CTI) remove the lifeless body of the drummer of the rock band Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins, at the Casa Medina hotel, in Bogota, Colomia

Fact #2 : Hawkins Had 10 Different Drugs In His System

After Hawkins died, his body was taken by the Colombian authorities for an autopsy, and a urine test found 10 different kinds of drugs in his system.

The Colombia Attorney General’s Office issued this statement on the initial autopsy findings :

Colombia’s Attorney General’s Office can confirm the following after the initial autopsy on the body of Taylor Hawkins.

That in the toxicology test on Taylor Hawkins’ urine 10 types of substances were preliminarily found, including marijuana, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and opioids.

The National Institute of Forensic Medicine is continuing its medical studies to be able to completely clarify the facts that led to Taylor Hawkins death.

Colombia’s Attorney General’s Office will continue with the investigation and reveal the results obtained as part of this investigation as appropriate.

Fact #3 : Autopsy Found An Enlarged Heart

The initial autopsy report also stated that his heart weighed “at least 600 grams” – twice the average for a man his age.

This finding of cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) suggests that he had a longstanding heart condition like heart failure, or cardiomyopathy.

Investigators have apparently concluded that he suffered a “sudden cardiac arrest” with a “cardiovascular collapse”, after overdosing on heroin, antidepressants and benzodiazepines.

Fact #4 : Hawkins Discovered Enlarged Heart In 2021

Interestingly, Hawkins himself may have discovered that he had an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) almost a year earlier.

On 15 June 2021, he did a Rolling Stone interview with Brian Hiatt, where he revealed that his doctor recently told him that he had a “big heart”.

I just found out from my doctor, got all my blood tests and my heart everything checked and he goes, “Dude, you’re in amazing shape. Your heart’s big, because you exercise a lot. It’s like a runner’s heart.”

Fact #5 : His Cardiomegaly May Be Due To Sleep Apnea

In the same Rolling Stone interview, Hawkins also revealed an interesting detail that many people missed – he was likely suffering from sleep apnea.

The only thing is, he said, “I think you have sleep apnea.” And my wife’s always saying you snore and you fucking make weird noises while you’re sleeping and stuff.

Untreated sleep apnea increases cardiovascular stress, which elevates blood pressure and forces the heart to work harder. This can result in an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) over time.

Fact #6 : Hawkins Almost Died From Drug Overdose In 2001

Hawkins had a long history of drug use, and almost died from a heroin overdose in 2001. He recounted the incident in 2018 :

I was partying a lot. I wasn’t a junkie per se, but I was partying. There was a year where the partying just got a little too heavy.

Thank God on some level this guy gave me the wrong line with the wrong thing one night and I woke up going, ‘What the f**k happened?’ That was a real changing point for me.

Tragically, it appears that Hawkins overdosed again, but was not able to recover this time, due to his existing heart condition.

Fact #7 : COVID-19 Vaccine Does Not Cause Cardiomegaly

Just to be clear – it is not possible for any COVID-19 vaccine to cause cardiomegaly.

Not only has there been no reported case of vaccine-induced cardiomegaly, it takes time for the heart to enlarge to such proportions.

In case you are wondering, vaccine-induced myocarditis (a rare risk factor for mRNA vaccines) cannot cause the heart to enlarge to such a large size in a matter of days.

For certain, his COVID-19 vaccination played no role in his death.

Fact #8 : His Wife Did Not Blame Vaccine For His Death

On 8 June 2022, Alison Hawkins posted a family statement on Instagram, thanking his fans and the Foo Fighter community for th eir love.

She notably did not blame COVID-19 vaccines for his death :

STATEMENT FROM THE HAWKINS FAMILY

My deepest thanks and admiration go out to the global Foo Fighters community and Taylor’s fans far and wide for the outpouring of love each and every one of you have shown our beloved Taylor. Your kindness has been an invaluable comfort for my family and me
during this time of unimaginable grief.

As Taylor’s wife, and on behalf of our children, I want to share how much you meant to him and how dedicated he was to “knocking your socks off” during every performance. Taylor was honored to be a part of the Foo Fighters and valued his dream role in the band every minute of his 25 years with them. We consider every band member and the extended Foo Fighters team our family.

Taylor’s endearing spirit and deep love of music will live on forever through the collaborations he so enjoyed having with other musicians and the catalog of songs he contributed to and created.

In celebration of his life, it is now up to all of us who loved him most to honor Taylor’s legacy and the music he gave us.

Thank you all again for your love and sympathy. Taylor loved all of you & we love you too.

With gratitude,

Alison Hawkins

Did Taylor Hawkins Die From Vaccine Myocarditis?!

Leave a reply

Did Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins, die from COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Taylor Hawkins Died From Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis!

Just three days after Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins, was found dead in his hotel room in Colombia, The COVID Blog claimed that he died from vaccine-induced myocarditis.

They wrote a long rambling post about him, so let me share the relevant part with you. It’s long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts.

Witnesses said Mr. Hawkins called the front desk complaining of chest pains right before he passed away. An ambulance arrived, but could not revive him. That means his heart stopped beating.

Several mainstream media outlets then reported details of a “toxicology report” for Mr. Hawkins, despite toxicology reports typically taking four to six weeks to complete. Mainstream media quickly revised this narrative and starting using the phrase “preliminary toxicology report.” The smoking gun, if you will, came out late Sunday. A forensic examination found that Mr. Hawkins’ heart weighed about 600 grams, which is double the size for the average man his age.

The narrative now is that a urine toxicology test found 10 substances, including benzodiazepines, opioids, THC (weed) and anti-depressants. Note that the latter was likely a prescription, and THC stays in urine for weeks and even months. Now the most recent narrative is that Mr. Hawkins died of “cardiovascular collapse” after binging on heroin and other drugs.

Vaxx zealots are angrily attacking critical thinkers on social media for talking about the obvious. Myocarditis, aka heart inflammation, is the second-most common adverse reaction to the injections after blood clots covered on this blog. Further, we’ve covered numerous cases of vaccinated people dying suddenly and unexpectedly of heart attacks and cardiac arrest. Of course the top symptom of a heart attack is chest pain, which Mr. Hawkins complained of right before he passed.

We’ve seen many people on social media claim that myocarditis does not enlarge the heart. But the Myocarditis Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated solely to saving people from this ailment, says right on its website:

“In simple terms, myocarditis is a disease that causes inflammation of the heart muscle. This inflammation enlarges and weakens the heart, creates scar tissue and forces it to work harder to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body.”

And there’s also this tidbit from the same page:

“Myocarditis is the 3^rd leading cause of Sudden Death in children and young adults.”

That all said, mainstream media want us all to believe that a 50-year-old man with two kids and a wife of 17 years, who made clear he learned his lesson in 2001, and had lived a solid family life with perhaps occasional drug use here and there, just decided on a spontaneous heroin/benzo/cocaine bender right before a show, called for help, then died of an overdose.

Unfortunately for vaxx zealots and their mainstream media, the Occam’s Razor, critical thinking cause of death is post-injection myocarditis that enlarged and stopped his heart. The deniers are also forwarding the narrative “you don’t know addiction.” What we do know is the difference between someone who wants to die and wants to live. It, again, stands to reason that Mr. Hawkins was in the latter group.

Truth : Taylor Hawkins Did NOT Die From Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis!

It’s becoming a tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths on the COVID-19 vaccine.

And The COVID Blog (TCB) has peddling COVID-19 fake news and misinformation for a long, long time. So it’s no surprise that they would jump on the bandwagon.

Here are the reasons why TCB is not only wrong, they are intentionally abusing Taylor Hawkins’ death to push their anti-vaccine beliefs.

Fact #1 : No Evidence Hawkins Had Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis

First, let me start by simply pointing out that The COVID Blog has ZERO EVIDENCE that Hawkins had vaccine-induced myocarditis.

They did not perform the autopsy on Hawkins, or run any laboratory test on his blood or urine samples. They did not even base their opinions on publicly-released information.

They concocted that claim out of thin air, without even an ounce of evidence.

Fact #2 : Colombian Authorities Released Urine Toxicology Report

After Hawkins died, the Colombian authorities took his body for an autopsy, and a urine test found 10 different kinds of drugs in his system.

The Colombia Attorney General’s Office issued this statement on the initial autopsy findings :

Colombia’s Attorney General’s Office can confirm the following after the initial autopsy on the body of Taylor Hawkins.

That in the toxicology test on Taylor Hawkins’ urine 10 types of substances were preliminarily found, including marijuana, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and opioids.

The National Institute of Forensic Medicine is continuing its medical studies to be able to completely clarify the facts that led to Taylor Hawkins death.

Colombia’s Attorney General’s Office will continue with the investigation and reveal the results obtained as part of this investigation as appropriate.

Fact #3 : Urine Toxicology Does Not Take Weeks To Complete

TCB claimed that the Hawkins toxicology report cannot possibly be genuine because it typically takes 4-6 weeks to complete, and shared a link to WebMD as evidence.

That’s misleading, because the WebMD article was talking about how long it takes for a complete forensic toxicology report. The 4-6 week time is required because :

the investigation may reveal additional drugs being taken, thus requiring new tests, and/or
the initial results may require additional testing to confirm, and/or
there may be a backlog of cases at one or more laboratories.

It’s also misleading because the Colombian authorities only released the urine toxicology report, not the complete forensic toxicology report.

They basically tested his urine sample for common drugs – a test that is quick to perform. In fact, most laboratories can complete the tests within a few hours.

Fact #4 : Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis Is Rare

TCB misleads you into thinking that vaccine-induced myocarditis is common, by saying that it is “the second-most common adverse reaction” … “covered on this blog“.

In other words, vaccine-induced myocarditis is not the second-most common side effect of the vaccines, it is merely the second-most common adverse reaction they like to write about!

The truth is studies like SAFECOVAC have shown that vaccine-induced myocarditis is extremely rare – less than 1 in a million doses!

In fact, you are hundreds of times more likely to get myocarditis from COVID-19 than from three doses of any COVID-19 vaccine!

Fact #5 : Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis Occurs Mostly In Young Males

Vaccine-induced myocarditis occurs mainly in young adults and adolescent males 12 to 39 years in age.

Hawkins was 50 years old when he died, and in his age group – the risk is practically non-existent.

To help you understand that, I created this table to show you the risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis for different age groups.

Note : Baseline refers to the typical number of myocarditis cases expected in the unvaccinated population.

Age Group	Male Rate (per million doses)	Baseline (per million doses)
12-17	32.4	2.0
18-24	30.7	1.8
25-29	12.2	1.9
30-39	6.9	1.9
40-49	3.5	1.9
50-64	1.9	1.9

Fact #6 : Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis Mild + Resolves Quickly

Vaccine-induced myocarditis is not only rare, most cases resolve quickly, compared to non-vaccine myocarditis.

As Dr. Matthew Elias, M.D., a cardiologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) explained :

In classic myocarditis, there are a wide range of presentations, from very mild symptoms to extremely serious, or even fatal, cases.

Overall, this does not seem to be happening in post-vaccine myocarditis. In the patients seen at CHOP and at other hospitals, symptoms are generally mild and self-resolving, and heart function is less affected, if affected at all.

Fact #7 : Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis Occurs Acutely

Vaccine-induced myocarditis is an acute condition that occurs within a few days of receiving an mRNA-based vaccine from Pfizer or Moderna.

Individuals who develop vaccine-induced myocarditis will experience symptoms like :

chest pain
shortness of breath
heart palpitations

If Hawkins was suffering from vaccine-induced myocarditis, he would not have been able to fly around to play with the Foo Fighters at various concerts around the world :

Feb 26-27 : Innings Festival 2022, Tempe, Arizona, United States
Mar 4 : Foo Fights / Amyl and the Sniffers / The Meanies, Geelong, Australia
Mar 18 : Lollapalooza Chile, Santiago, Chile
Mar 20 : Lollapalooza Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Fact #8 : Cardiomegaly Takes Time To Develop

The initial autopsy report stated that his heart weighed “at least 600 grams” – twice the average for a man his age.

This finding of cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) suggests that he had a longstanding heart condition like heart failure, or cardiomyopathy.

TCB claimed that was evidence of vaccine-induced myocarditis, because the Myocarditis Foundation says that myocarditis enlarges the heart.

It is true that myocarditis can enlarge the heart by weakening the heart muscle, but that process takes time – weeks, if not months, to develop.

Fact #9 : Hawkins Discovered Enlarged Heart In 2021

Interestingly, Hawkins himself may have discovered that he had an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) in 2021.

On 15 June 2021, he did a Rolling Stone interview with Brian Hiatt, where he revealed that his doctor recently told him that he had a “big” heart.

Fact #10 : His Cardiomegaly May Be Due To Sleep Apnea

In the same Rolling Stone interview, Hawkins also revealed an interesting detail that many people missed – he was likely suffering from sleep apnea.

The only thing is, he said, “I think you have sleep apnea.” And my wife’s always saying you snore and you fucking make weird noises while you’re sleeping and stuff.

Untreated sleep apnea increases cardiovascular stress, which elevates blood pressure and forces the heart to work harder. This can result in an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) over time.

Fact #11 : Hawkins Almost Died From Drug Overdose In 2001

Hawkins had a long history of drug use, and almost died from a heroin overdose in 2001. He recounted the incident in 2018 :

I was partying a lot. I wasn’t a junkie per se, but I was partying. There was a year where the partying just got a little too heavy.

Thank God on some level this guy gave me the wrong line with the wrong thing one night and I woke up going, ‘What the f**k happened?’ That was a real changing point for me.

Tragically, it appears that Hawkins overdosed again, but was not able to recover this time, due to his existing heart condition.

For certain, his COVID-19 vaccination played no role in his death.
