Zero information on the health of the individual before he died, just the word of a doctor who may or may not have an agenda....

Here's a (according to his nurse mother), "perfectly healthy" 16 yr who supposedly died from covid. Make sure you look at the photos:

https://people.com/health/16-year-old-dies-suddenly-from-covid-19/

“I can’t tell you how a perfectly healthy 16-year-old boy can be making his own peanut butter sandwich late Wednesday night, getting his own tea out the fridge, and head up to bed like any other teenager in the state or in the country is doing. And then within 24 hours is fighting for his life..."

So, late-night peanutbutter sandwiches, washed down with sweet tea no doubt.

"Although Andre had no underlying medical conditions, the first thing doctors discovered was that he had developed Type 1 diabetes — his blood sugar was a dangerous 1,500 milligrams per deciliter, more than 10 times the normal amount. Type 1 diabetes frequently comes to light for the first time during an infection."

Ahh yeah, blood sugar spikes are a hallmark of covid deaths....oh wait, co-morbidities are....

"Andre was the only family member who did not leave the house at all."

So vitamin D deficiency, that'll sure lower your immune system.

Article mentions a ventilator, but nothing about hydroxychloriquine or inhaled steroids or any of the effective treatments.

Edit: It Does mention Remdesivir, but says they didn't use it. I don't consider that an effective treatment anyway.

It's People, I'm surprised it had as much detail as it did...though I'm sure that's a function of trying to sell the narrative.

Did you check out the photos? How in the hell can his "nurse" mother even suggest he was "perfectly healthy?"

Yeah, he was obese, a 16 year old should not be that obese. They should be going outside, getting exercise, sun exposure, not sitting in a dark room all day playing video games.

Perfectly healthy kids aren’t on a “special Olympics” team.

Exactly. It just reads like a story someone wrote, not a real event. Like a 30 yr olds last words to her were "please, Dr Smollet, tell all the children not to be like me, make sure to wear your mask and vote democrat in Nov. Croak."

This kid was a walking time bomb. I have one with type 1 diabetes. No family history, no obesity, no warning.

When he was diagnosed, he was near death, in DKA, gray skin coloring and it was out of the blue with no prior warning signs except vomiting for 24 hours.

When these kids are diagnosed, they are extremely ill. Add flu or any other illness to thier condition and it can be devastating.

What were the pre-existing conditions? No mention of, "Who did not have pre-existing conditions," typically means the same thing a missing description in a crime article does.

I bet the guy was 300 lbs+ of pure flab, asthmatic, and a smoker, or at least one of those.

Thought the same thing. 30yo not named. NYT article said "we could not independently confirm." We have a doctor's story and that's it.

If he thought the disease was a hoax... why did he go to a party to catch it?

Whole thing is BS scare tactic.

Yeah, that seems like a weird statement.

Who takes bets on whether someone will get a disease they think doesn't exist first?

I didn't see anything that said he had covid. Nothing about co-morbidities. Nothing about his hospital course. If he had covid, the headline would have said he "died FROM COVID after attending a covid party" not just "he died after attending a covid party"

Im calling bullshit on this one.

With HIPPA laws, the doctors can claim whatever the fuck they want without being questioned.

I support HIPPA. But after you're dead, info should be public.
