* One of our maintenance mechanics in his mid 30s dropped dead in the shop one day as he was putting some tools away just before lunch. Big strapping farm dude who looked like he could bench press a truck, a quiet, low key guy who didn't drink or smoke. Two of his coworkers performed CPR until the EMS got there, but he was probably dead before he hit the floor. No jab involved.

If nothing else, COVID showed me that there is a sizable chunk of society that is arrogantly stupid, childishly stubborn, dangerously paranoid, and will fall for any conspiracy theory, no matter how absurd it is.
