A professional bodybuilder who trusted the Covid vaccine enough to challenge anti-vax conspiracists to use him as a case study suddenly died last week.
Author and veteran competitive bodybuilder Doug Brignole, 62, reportedly passed away last Thursday, with not much else known other than the fact he was extremely fit and healthy prior to his death and was evidently preparing to compete in the 2022 AU Mr. Universe competition in Las Vegas this week.
Following his untimely passing, netizens discovered Brignole was gung-ho about the Covid vaccine, so much so that at one point he encouraged anti-vaxxers to use him as a test case to determine whether the experimental mRNA shot is safe.
“I have enough confidence in the vaccine, based on my research, to get it done,” Brignole once wrote in a Facebook comment.
“Those of you who think the vaccine kills people can use me as a test. If I die, you were right.”
“If I don’t die, and have no ill effects, you were wrong, and should admit it (at least to yourselves),” he added. “Better yet, you should admit that you were misled, and tell the world who misled you, so other people can benefit by avoiding those fearmongers.”
A Facebook post by Brignole in April 2021 also showed him receiving his second jab at a mobile vaccine clinic in April 2021, again promoting the vaccine as safe and effective, despite
experiencing a local adverse reaction.
“I’m vaccinated!” Brignole celebrated. “Well, the first of two. Let’s get this done so we can get back to traveling, going to concerts, and having fun. My vaccine was yesterday, and I had no problem with it. My deltoid was a bit sore, but otherwise fine. We’re all in this together, so let’s do our share to beat it.”
How embarrassing for him!
"A 28-year-old bodybuilder has died 4 days after receiving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Jake Kazmarek got his 2nd dose of the vaccine on September 28th."
So it was 4 days, not 2 1/2 weeks. My mistake.

The article is about: “Author and veteran competitive bodybuilder Doug Brignole, 62, reportedly passed away last Thursday, with not much else known other than the fact he was extremely fit and healthy prior to his death and was evidently preparing to compete in the 2022 AU Mr. Universe competition in Las Vegas this week.”
There were two reported deaths in the article. The article primarily focused on a bodybuilder who died 18 months after the second dose, but there was another that died 4 days after the second dose.
I have two questions for you: (1) do you think there is even the possibility that you might be wrong about the danger of the COVID-19 vaccines, and (2) that it is not just coincidental that some are dying a few days or weeks after receiving them?
and he never got the chance to give us his apology

The chances that the anti-vaxxers are wrong far exceed the chances that I’m wrong.
It is coincidental. People die all the time, some just minutes after drinking water.
“The chances that the anti-vaxxers are wrong far exceed the chances that I’m wrong.”
What’s your evidence for that? That’s an assertion, not an answer.
“It is coincidental. People die all the time, some just minutes after drinking water.”
And if the water ended up in their lungs, it’s not a coincidence.
Would you accept that something that is designed to generate an immune response does carry the risk of injury, especially an allergic response?

That is a valid answer to you asking what I thought.
BTW, I have no interest in being cross examined.
That’s what I thought. Thanks for verifying.
I have always called libs low information voters. I may have to rethink that
It was something like” Oh crap, I hate being wrong”
Sadly, we were right.
Never trust any “experts” on vaccines. Especially if the “experts” are from Big Pharma. They've been trained to lie constantly so they can make more money.
OK, we won’t say WE TOLD YA SO...
I call it SUDS - Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome
It’s “eye-gan,” not “ee-gan.”
😆
“The article primarily focused on a bodybuilder who died 18 months after the second dose...”
He would have been overdue for a booster, wouldn’t he?
