Really ya’ll, “who” cares?
Well, at least you didn't say that you "could care less!"
Regards,
Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with “he”’ or “’she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom. Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.
Why are you telling me?
I'm the Russian-German-English translator who provided the correct answer up above - not the newbie who probably couldn't diagram a sentence if his life depended on it.
Regards,
The subject is “who”, therefore “whom” is not correct in this application.
The preface “all those” = “who”
“All those who” is a compound subjective pronoun. It is awkward writing. Shortened, it would be “all who died”, or “those who died”, but the subjective pronoun is still “who”, not “whom”. “Whom” is never a subjective pronoun
Example..
“Bob is he who played first base”
Presented for your edification.
...that is all
Please don't simply reply to the previous (last) posting.
Instead, please address your remark (or, in this case, edifying lecture) to the FReeper who actually needs it.

That’s just scary. A very compelling video of the folks that have died from the vax...
...and the FR grammar Nazis are out in droves worrying about “who vs whom”.
Sheesh...we don’t have a chance.
“Vorvergangenheit”

The debate is on and let all the information get out there the censors and trolls are bothered but I am not.
It rankles me to see corporate media personalities Sean Hannity say “talk to your doctor” about the vaccine when doctors are being censored, intimidated and drummed out of the profession for objecting to the vax for their patients.
“Vorvergangenheit” is German for pluperfect tense.
