Former MLB shortstop Julio Lugo has died after “presumably” suffering a heart attack, according to ESPN’s Enrique Rojas. He was 45. Lugo, whose 12 MLB seasons included stints with the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals, would’ve turned 46 on Tuesday. He won the World Series with the Red Sox in 2007, his first year with the team, and hit .237 that year with 73 RBI and 135 hits. In that World Series sweep against the Rockies, Lugo went 5-for-13 with two runs scored. In 2009, he was traded to the Cardinals during the season and combined to hit .280 that year

Enter "dead at 45" (or 45, 47, 48, . . . ) in search bar. Interesting results since the introduction of the fauxci's jab.

I got stabbed with the vax back in March, as it first became available. I had had Covid in December and a month later tested positive for the antibodies. People asked why I got the stab... I replied because NO ONE was going to 'follow the science.' NO ONE asks about antibody tests. Everyone asks for your stamped card. I have to say that from everything I've seen since, I WOULD NOT get that vax if I had the choice now. And that goes for the 'booster.' Actually, now that I think about it... people did ask me if I heard that there had been complications with the vax. I told them that if I died, I wouldn't have to live thru a Biden administration. Win-win.

Lifetime MLB B.A. of 0.269 and 80 homers over 12 seasons not to mention hitting 0.385 in the 2007 World Series. Not too shabby for a middle infielder. Alleged cause of death is heart attack. No indication in the news report of vax connection although it wouldn't surprise me given the negative cardio side effects of the jab.

This is the third or fourth 45 year old I’ve read about dying over the weekend that has suddenly died. Tell me please when he got the double jab and booster? Get the jab then get your life insurance paid in full. Make sure it covers adverse vaccine reaction Death.

An anesthesiologist I’ve worked with for years asked me way back when the vax first became available if I would’ve getting it. I told him I wasn’t a lab rat, and no. He let me have what for all afternoon that day. Told me there had been no ill effects by anyone who had taken the shot. I’ve since retired from nursing and would love to ask him his opinion at this point. Oh, and he was a heavy duty anti-Trumper. Loves Biden. And he’s truly a brilliant man, just not bright politically IMO There’s certainly a rash of younger men dropping dead. I want vax info on all of them.

Just as Drs. Tenpenny, Coleman, Mercola and a slew of others predicted back in December. They said that the jab wouldn’t protect against mutations in the virus and that breakthrough cases would be blamed on the unvaxxed. They said that 10 months out we would start seeing people dropping like flies. But our wonderful government and social media told us that they were spreading misinformation and made them into pariahs. I’m so so glad that I listened to them. Unvaxxed forever!

Germany is paving the way for the introduction of tighter restrictions on people who have so far chosen not to be vaccinated against Covid-19, in an effort to control its highest infection levels since the pandemic began. On Tuesday the country’s disease control agency, the Robert Koch Institute, recorded a seven-day incidence rate of 312 cases per 100,000 people, with several areas at more than 1,000. A year ago, before the vaccine was introduced, the rate stood at 139. There were 265 deaths reported on Tuesday, much fewer than the pre-vaccine peak.(Snip)Less than 70% of the population is fully vaccinated, leaving Germany considerably

Kamala Harris' niece Meena has said parents can teach 'anti-racism at home' by telling their children the U.S. was founded by white supremacists and by filling their bookshelves with the works of 1619 Project founder Nikole Hannah-Jones.

Watching the news, one sees constant stories about COVID numbers rising, yet again, now almost two years into this pandemic, with COVID hospitalizations in some states higher than they have ever been except for the spike last December. In my state of Colorado, the test positivity rate is almost 10 percent, with 1 in 48 infected and if the current trend continues, this will be the worst COVID spike the state has seen. On the surface, that doesn’t make sense, since nearly 80 percent of eligible Coloradans have received at least one vaccine dose, suggesting the vaccines are not working as well as they should or as advertised

Vice President Kamala Harris is being increasingly alienated in the White House as her approval ratings plummet — as the first female veep feels she’s not getting the same support President Biden gives to white male politicians, according to a detailed new report. Despite their public show of unity, Biden and his right-hand woman have a dysfunctional relationship that has reached an “exhausted stalemate,” CNN said based on interviews with nearly three dozen insiders. At a time when the president would usually be expected to promote his vice president as a future replacement in the White House, Biden has instead been sidelining Harris as a potential liability, the report said.
