^^^^This lady could also have died simply because she was in her 90s.

A high risk decade, if you live that long and wonder what the 'other factors' were in her demise.

Average life span in Canada is approx. 83/84

I'm very sorry she has died, my condolences to her family.

She died of covid. Living longer or shorter than average life expectancy is not unusual.

I think he underestimates the ability of people to do quality research and make quality decisions. Ignorance isn't always bliss, IMO.

When I was young and as I was growing up, I used to (always each time) ask my mother 'what did they die of'', whenever there was mention of someone passing away that my family had known. I remember as I got older, her saying one time, 'well, she/he was x years old, she/he was old, and you have to die of *something*'. It used to be that some would just pass in their sleep one night.. with the explanation, 'he/she died of old age'... and it was accepted and acceptable. I think it is possible that the woman in the news story above (and others like her) who 'died of Covid' (after receiving both vaccinations), died because it was her time.. she was very fortunate to have lived such a full life... and we have to die of 'something'. Upon further examination, it was revealed this woman did indeed have Covid.. but is that *really* what she died OF? Or did she die because it was her time, and consequently, she also produced a positive Covid test, which in the grand scheme of things, was inconsequential to her death? imo.

Interesting article on Canadian government's efforts to develop a vaccine card optical reader in order to open the U.S.-Canadian border. Tests of the reader show that it failed to adequately read a Quebec vaccine card.
