Drowned in a hot tub?

This week, we find ourselves once again compelled to add another prominent name to the list – actor Matthew Perry.

Perry was a staunch proponent of the Covid vaccine, known for wearing and selling Covid vaccine related T-shirts that said "Could I BE any more vaccinated?"

And right on queue, you have a national publication demonizing anyone who would dare suggest a link between his death and the vaccine. From Rolling Stone:

“Twisted Anti-Vaxxers Rush to Blame Matthew Perry’s Death on Covid Vaccine”

This type of sensationalism is meant to draw attention away from the real concerns, the skyrocketing excess mortality in people in the prime of life. Let us remind ourselves: it has always been very uncommon for people to suddenly drop dead.

The most misleading headline immediately after the star passed was “Matthew Perry drowns in jacuzzi.” Did he accidentally wander into the deep end? No. An able-bodied adult male does not just drown in his home jacuzzi. Something happened. It is alarming that the media finds more comfort in speculating that Perry had overdosed (he has been clean for years) than that he had a sudden unexplained cardiac event.

According to Our World in Data, 104,000 more Americans died than expected for the year ending on April 30, 2023. Across the world in the same time period, 52,427 more Britons; 81,028 more Germans; and 17,731 more French died than expected. And no one disputes any longer that the shots are linked to sudden cardiac death.
