Finally gave in couple years back with those.. but gotta admit, I am vaccine phobic now.. buried in my head I had buddies who did all the Covids (I did two) and major issues.. three with strokes.. whether factual or not, my perception and correlation to the vax#2 and beyond is buried in my brain..

FWIW, in case you aren't aware (especially for adults over 50), there are vaccinations for pneumonia; the CDC has information/recommendations on the available pneumococcal* vaccinations, etc.

*Pneumococcal disease is a serious bacterial infection caused by streptococcus pneumoniae. It can cause mild illnesses like ear infections, but also severe, life-threatening conditions such as pneumonia, meningitis (brain/spinal cord infection), and bacteremia (bloodstream infection)

Actually just got that vaccine. Changed my health insurance provider and, as a result, health care provider network, upon retiring last fall and the new doc recommended it.

So I reiterate - what the hell were they doing? You're not anywhere near normal when you have this severe of a case of pneumonia. Been there and got the tshirt.

Maybe he refused treatment - but his family hopefully at least tried to slow him down and get him seen/treated. And if a doctor did examine him and allowed him to leave with minimal treatment we might see a lawsuit sooner or later.

Just sayin - what's publicly out there doesn't jive with my own experiences. Someone fucked up - either Kyle, or his family or any doctors he may have seen....

Mileage may vary with stuff like this. Also, if you’re a professional race car driver, you likely have a higher risk tolerance/sense of invincibility than ordinary people so he might have been obstinate about insisting that he didn’t need treatment.

Maybe - I certainly didn't have much choice. That said, I do think it has a lot to do with that last part - he was refusing anything like treatment that takes him out of the racing.

It's something that his family will have to live with forever now.

Pneumococcal?

I thought that was an inflatable assist for a different kind of old-age problem.

Ball State's Gavin Yates-Lyons, 18, dies after being shot​

Gavin Yates-Lyons, a freshman defensive back on the Ball State football team, has died at the age of 18, the school confirmed Sunday.

"We extend sincere condolences to his family, friends, coaches, teammates and all who held him close. May you find comfort and strength during this challenging moment," the school wrote in a social media post.



Yates-Lyons was among three victims of a shooting at a parking garage on May 24 in Tallahassee, Florida. He was caught in the crossfire and taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. He died Saturday.

He had finished his education at Lowndes County High School in Georgia early and enrolled at Ball State in January. He had returned to attend his graduation ceremony, which took place the day before he was shot, according to the Muncie Star Press.
