Lon Adams, known for developing the recipe for Slim Jim jerky, has died from Covid-19 complications on Saturday, his funeral home confirmed. He was 95.

Adams, whose full name was Alonzo T. Adams II, is best known for his contributions to the popular Slim Jim jerky. Though Adolph Levis invented Slim Jim in 1928, Adams is credited with developing the more current Slim Jim formula, a spokesperson for Conagra Brands, the manufacturer of the jerky, told CNN. "Conagra Brands was saddened to learn of the passing of Lon Adams, and we extend our condolences to his family and loved ones. We are grateful for the contributions that Lon made to Slim Jim," the company said in a statement to CNN.

My uncle was 91, and he died from it, not with it.

He was 95.

He was 95 and died of Covid.

Lon did not die of cardio-vascular complications, COPD, emphysema, Cancer, pneumonia or dementia.

He died of Covid at the age of 95.

95 years old?!!!

As my wife and I often say — he died of old age.

He had a very long life. Hopefully it was fulfilling and rich. We can all hope that we live that long.

Unfortunately, most of us will pass on well before we reach or 95th year.

Died of or died with?

For reporting (read the as "propaganda") purposes mortality for COVID, influenza, and pneumonia are lumped together as CIP deaths, are popularly reported as all being due to COVID.

A careful observer will note that there are ZERO reported flu deaths this flu season.

A more discerning observer would know that for many years the CDC did not gather actual flu death data, but merely estimated each year's toll...

The government wants to disarm us after 244 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son

The question is: was age a major factor? Also, shouldn’t dual factors in cause of death be clearly presented for the sake of meaningful data? Libs love reckless data that is easily used to manipulate.

Some say 75 is too old to live. How old are you?

Certainly, covid didn’t improve his health.

The report says covid was his cause of death but you’re smarter than the coroner.
