Found this old interview with him, it's sad to see someone with so much energy taken down.

His long-covid google doc survives him, which I guess is what happens these days

I started wondering about the source website I linked and despite the lack of another site with all the information in one place I am not so sure I should have linked it based on the other "articles" on that website.

It's unprovable but feels like it was written by ChatGPT or assisted?

If a better source is found, feel free to either replace the link or delist this thread?

That vaccination timeline is... interesting. But it would be a wild conspiracy to say more.

With all respect to Brandon Gilles, I have never heard of "dying from long covid" before and am trying to understand what this means.

There is a huge discrepancy and a lot of detail missing between "developed Long-COVID symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, muscle pain and shortness of breath" and "he suffered from multiple organ failures".

I tried searching but have not found anything (yes I know some death certificates list long-covid as a contributory cause in CDC data, but one can list anything on a death certificate). Does anyone have a source/case report explaining this or detailing a case?

(Please note I am not trying to start a political debate regarding COVID out of a man's obituary, I am genuinely curious if anyone has information about this as I've never heard a causative claim before)

if you come with facts, without generalisation on one case, we might listen and discuss. But with this kind of speech of 5 words, yup! That won't go far.

That document is incredibly long and I didn’t find any mention of vaccination in the sections I skimmed. What is the timeline you’re referring to?

Curious where you're seeing that?
