[Cricket] Shane Warne - RIP

[Greg Bobkin]

From the article:

'Meanwhile, former England cricketer Dimitri Mascarenhas, who regarded Warne as his “best friend”, said he was “shocked and saddened to learn that his death was entirely preventable”.

“If he’d not taken the Covid vaccine, he’d likely still be alive today,” he added. “He wouldn’t want others to be harmed, so I fully support these doctors’ calls for an immediate suspension of these jabs in Australia and around the world.”'

Yeah, OK mate...

Entirely preventable. FFS!

That’s a shock. Condolences to his family.

You realise he passed away over a year ago, I assume?

Didn’t former Anglo Aussie cricketer Ben Hollioake die in a car crash a few years ago? Surprised our Dimitri isn’t calling for all cars to be banned as well.

 

[Questions]

Some times I wonder why I have people on ignore. Then up pops a reply (yours) to some bollocks (his) to remind me.

Warne died from acute myocardial ischaemia on top of coronary atherosclerosis, resulting in ventricular fibrillation ('sudden cardiac death'), according to the reports. This is the single largest cause of death in the west. It is more likely in people with particular lifestyles. The idea that anti vaxxers, from a distance, can attribute this to a vaccine is ludicrous.

It’s even more alarming that all this came from doctors.

I don't think there's been a bumped RIP thread on here that hasn't had me immediately thinking it was a current event. The Roger Moore or Ronnie Corbett ones could get bumped tomorrow and I'd be thinking the same. (Rushes off to check they are both dead)

It’s even more alarming that all this came from doctors.

I got copied into a round robin email mess a couple of years ago where an unholy mix of right wing doctors and other oddballs, based in the US, discussed alternative treatments for Covid (all that shit that Trump advocated), while smearing against the NIH and the democrats. I got copied it by an American medic who I'd contacted over what I suspected was scientific fraud (submission of a 'research' paper that was nothing more than opinion, with his name on it, from some bloke from Iran as the corresponding author). It turned out the American knew about this pointless puff piece and approve of it. And added me to his mailing list.

Bottom line, you can function as a physician even if your beliefs are supported by no evidence (Andrew Wakefield showing that this tomfoolery is not limited to America). It is harder to do the same as a scientist because if you are a charlatan (and there are plenty) you are immediately found out if you publish 'data' that would be important were it not fake, and others try to replicate your findings.

Clinical judgement is a euphemism for 'I have no evidence, by I am a physician and this is what I think, and that is the only thing that matters'. I was diagnosed with diverticulosis based on the clinical judgement of my GP. Twenty years later, almost disabled by a 'lively' bowel that meant I could not travel in the mornings unless the train had a working lav - often not the case in the last several years - I was put on the bowel cancer pathway, had a camera up the jacksy, and was found to have no diverticulosis. Nothing. Randomly I cut out lactose and (later) gluten and am now pretty much right as rain. Clinical judgement, (literally) my arse.

I was in the hairdressers looking on my phone, which is a mini Iphone, and hadn't spotted the date. I realised about an hour later.

More importantly, I'd bet my right gonad that Warney's family don't read NSC.

I wouldn’t be too sure about that.
Warney did live in Brighton you know.
