A young Memphis surgeon died this week of a rare COVID-19 related illness that has most frequently been seen in children.
Dr. J. Barton Williams, 36, who worked as an orthopedic surgeon at OrthoSouth in Memphis, died Monday at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis. Doctors treating him believe Williams had a delayed immune reaction to having the virus earlier, even though he didn’t realize he had it.
Williams had received his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine just weeks before his death, which triggered many people to falsely believe the vaccine was a factor or that his death represented some new, vaccine-resistant strain of the virus.
But physicians who treated him, who spoke about his conditions and treatment with the permission of Williams’ family, said the vaccine was not a factor nor was he infected with a new strain.
Apparently, Williams had contracted COVID-19 sometime before he was vaccinated but was not aware he had the virus.
In fact, he’d tested negative for the virus while in the hospital meaning he had no live virus in his system.
Antibodies for the virus were found in his blood indicating past infection.
The reaction, known as multi-system inflammatory syndrome (MIS), causes inflammation in the blood vessels and can occur weeks or months after the actual virus first attacked the person’s system. MIS has been found in children, but Williams’ case is one of only a handful discovered in adults.
Williams had reportedly just gotten married in December.

Ok so what triggered it?
The virus or the vaccine?
Apparently they don’t know and it almost sounds like they don’t want to know

Nevertheless RFK Jr. will jump on it, just like he did with Hank Aaron.

Just because someone says something, doesn’t make it true. From the sounds of it, they’d like us to believe that even though he never had one symptom, the Wu Flu still killed him because he had the antibodies in his blood. Not the shot, which he had just taken, but the Wu Flu... sure, I believe it
Most of the time the correct answer is the simplest answer (especially if it’s staring you in the face). 39 yo male in good health with no symptoms of Covid, no respiratory issues whatsoever dies after 2nd dose of Covid vaccine! They don’t want the public at large to panic so of course they’re gonna tell you that the vaccine is still safe. Won’t be the first time doctors have lied.

Logic says the vaccine killed him. Regardless of whether he may have had antibodies.

What could possibly go wrong with a vaccine (for an illness that is also viably no more dangerous than the seasonal flu) that was rushed through without any significant trial period... you know, the way every single vaccine is supposed to be. It’s about money and control. Do you think getting the vaccine means you no longer have to wear the mask? Think again.

I still question whether this covid shot is actually a vaccine.
Anyway, PPE vending machines at JFK.

^^^^^^^^^^^ What happened to the condom dispensers? They almost look the same.
It’s called panic. There were plenty of people panicking in this thread, remember?

It's not panic. At least not any longer. It was panic in the beginning. Now what we have is bona fide Religious Fervor. Many of these covid apostles will never be the same again.
In regards to that classroom, that is pure dystopian machination. I pray every day for this pernicious crap to end before my daughters get too much older. My oldest is almost 5. It's not too late for her to forget this time in her life, at least to the point that it won't cause a lasting impression.

That is utterly unforgivable and reprehensible. Any parent that would allow their kids into that environment doesn't deserve to keep them. Parents need to band together and declare war on any group responsible for this BS. Make no mistake, this is 'war'.

You are extremely lucky your kids are so young. I have 3, twin 11 year olds who are doing kinda OK and a 16yo daughter who is about as bad as it gets. Severe anxiety and depression, she doesn't care about anything and is barely functioning...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is worse. I am sure the guy had good intentions but does NOT understand children and fear. BELOW:

Why does Fox News give so much airtime to Gov. Cuomo (D-NY)? During the time when Covid was peaking, they had him on live daily covering his press conferences touting his response to the pandemic.
Today, they are covering his in-depth response to reports that his administration doctored the number of nursing home deaths related to Covid and his policies. Why is he getting all this exposure from Fox?

The Fox News of Today is not the same as it was prior to the kids getting involved.
As to the craziness of the rat-cell class room, that will not stop COVID, or any common rhinovirus. Kids are still going to touch doorknobs, go to the bathrooms, touch lunch tables, etc... It's like watching a person in the movies "cock" a hammer on Glock. Most who really know recognize the insanity. The spread is through so many other means. But that's irrelevant. Maybe I've got advance burn-out, but when the mortality rate in the US from Covid is so low, lets focus on real issues......oh wait......

If you really want to make a "health conscious" impact in the classroom - take a look at what's in your students lunch boxes/lunch menu's. Get them outside and active. Start early and help make a dent in the 450,000 annual US obesity related deaths.
