True but it be a bit odd if William spent today consoling his grieving cousin while her parents went to the service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have a link to this? I googled “Thomas Kingston cancer” and could not find a single article to find he had/died from cancer, everything been “died suddenly’’ “family in shock” etc, if he had cancer and died from it it would be a tragedy for his family/friends but not a shock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It reeks of you wanting to surround yourself with nodding dogs and blot out all diverse opinions, whatever floats your boat I guess Can only speak for myself but many of my very best friends online/offline are gooners, Lewis Hamilton fans, lefties, or a combo of the 3, if I had them all on ignore because they disagreed with me I would have about 20 less friends and about 100 less good nights out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few years ago you wouldn't even have known these people existed. My point perfectly illustrated. Quote It typically takes 10+ years and multiple trials for a drug to get FDA approval Yes, and a large part of that is because of delays. Delays in getting funding, delays in getting tests organised, you name it, a lot of these things spend months if not years sitting on desks with nothing happening. The difference with the Covid vaccines is that everything was fast-tracked and money poured into it because of the urgency. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A certain percentage of people have always died younger than the expected life expectancy and in both of those eras it certainly was not due to new untested vaccines or covid. I am putting a link to an article about how life expectancy is determined because it is apparent that you don't understand how it works.

Torva Messor 279 Posted February 28 My brother died suddenly at age 44 from a pulmonary embolism. Maybe Thomas Kingston died from a pulmonary embolism or another undisclosed or undiagnosed ailment. It does seem to me that people nowadays are dying younger: my husband died at age 52 from cancer complications, my mother at age 58 from cancer, I lost two friends within the last two years to kidney failure, both in their fifties, at least one of them died suddenly. I suppose the closer and more numerous the losses are, the stronger the cognitive bias. Everyone who is active and over the age of 65 seems to me to have intrinsic longevity factors my friends and family did not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Old Crem 3,583 Posted February 29 Also the press are really starting to imply something is going on with William and Catherine. It’s odd treatment if she is genuinely recovering from an operation to be suggesting something else is happening. I mean the front page of the Daily Mail today has what is happening to the Royals with a picture of William and Catherine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone local to me died in their House a few years ago from a heart attack and wasn’t found for a week or so. No inquest once the post mortem confirmed heart attack. An inquest simply wouldn’t be held for a natural death. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39193367# George Michael’s death for example. No inquest. Same with Sinead O’Connor.
