There are folks who will blame this on steroids. Here is a good friend commenting on Doug’s refusal to take steroids…

UPDATE: A friend of Doug’s reached out to The Gateway Pundit. Here are her comments:

Jim, I saw your article on Doug Brignole’s passing. I knew Doug back in the 90’s and even did some ghost-writing for him on his newsletter. Some of the commenters are being very viscous and jumping to conclusions. Doug did not ‘juice’ or take steroids when I knew him and I do not believe he would ever go that route. I just wanted to say that Doug was passionate about health and helping others. My guess for the reason that he took the vax and made that post about it was that he was tired of the arguing between people he knew. Doug always tried to be the middle ground. He would have done his research, taken the vax, and then posted it as a way to stop the arguing (mostly amongst the people he knew). We don’t know if the vax contributed to or was the cause of his death but, regardless, I wish he had not put out the post. It will likely be how a man who did so many great things and was a wonderful friend will be remembered.
