Covid-19 crisis Sudden death of wife of British minister
1. My friend shared a news report that the wife of a British minister had died suddenly. He added - It's getting more and more surreal!

2. I replied to him - There is nothing surreal. Countless people died suddenly over past centuries, mostly from heart attacks.

3. There is a large group of people who are strongly against the vaccine. They spread reports suggesting that the vaccine is the cause of the sudden deaths. In many cases, the sudden deaths occurred several weeks or months after the vaccination.

4. They also shared studies that showed that the vaccine could have contributed to the heart attack.

5. There are many other factors that could have contributed to the heart attack, including underlying conditions, diet and stress. It is not reasonable to suggest that the vaccine is the most likely cause.

6. I am not defending that the vaccine is totally safe. However, I am also not convinced that it is harmful. On balance, I am prepared to take the vaccine or the booster, if the virus becomes more lethal.

7. For the time being, while omicron remains mild, I will not take any booster, bivalent or otherwise.
