AngryLazarus 9 Posted May 4, 2021 Looking at the assorted other teams who had her, I'm quite proud to have spotted Litsa Menounos was obitable. 8 points and up 118, which I think given the rest of my team still gives me a shot of a Top 100 finish, good by my standards. My record of 55th probably less likely to be beaten though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Hemlock 742 Posted May 8, 2021 With Hank Aaron and Rachel Zoll dying, the first alphabetical and last alphabetical surnames died in the same year. I wonder if that’s the first time that’s happened. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,970 Posted May 11, 2021 Ah thanks Willz :). Well, I was under the assumption that we had no new obits recently. I am still waiting for QOs for Yegor Ligachev and Leslie Marr. It's been a quiet few weeks since Prince Philip died. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,970 Posted May 23, 2021 You are fast Willz ;). Yes, I knew that one would be coming, would have guessed a Times obit was more likely though. That leaves the question of a Yegor Ligachev obit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Covid-19 vaccine: Patient William Shakespeare second to get vaccination - BBC News Although Margaret Keenan the other one was pictured out and about recently and looks about 20 years younger than her 91. Aren't the vast majority of those over 80 frail and ill? Thing is though even if Margaret Keenan dies people won't bat an eyelid because she was 91. This vaccine could kill large amounts of people we wouldn't know because it'll just get blamed on covid or a resurgent flu. I do find the fact that large amounts of people are classed as covid deaths even if they're ill or die of something else 28 days after a positive test but someone can die 28 minutes after a vaccine and it's nothing to do with the vaccine. No I don't believe in all the conspiracies but I think taking an all or nothing approach is an extreme take. Oh and I'm gutted I missed out on some DDP points . Keenan and Shakespeare were some of the first names in my final top 20 shortlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woman receives vaccine , collapses and then they go to comfort her. They end up working on her not sure if she died. Bear in mind the above links. Other approved vaccines and medicine have been withdrawn for causing even just a few deaths/injuries. This emergency , experimental vaccine doesn't follow the same rules. If it did I have no doubt it would've been withdrawn by now. Especially the astrazenca one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted May 25, 2021 Just to add on Scotland has now started listing deaths from the vaccine. If only started recently and it's lists in its recent list 3 deaths. They'll parade 3 covid daily deaths all over the news but they will bury these 3 deaths from the vaccine. https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/05/22/covid-19-vaccine-officially-listed-as-the-underlying-cause-of-death-multiple-times-by-scotland-authorities/amp/?__twitter_impression=true https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/british-model-dies-cyprus-astrazeneca-vaccine-b937107.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
