"The MSM scours the nation to gloat over these deaths."

And they exaggerate the deceased's accomplishments to make it look like a well known Hollywood star has passed.

And the deceased was 78 years old.

The guy was in two episodes total of NCIS Los Angeles a show that is in its 13 season.

Militant Vax Covidians are cheering

He should have had a chance to try, anyway.

Not meaning to be insensitive, but if one puts a little effort into it, one can obtain almost everything that might be helpful. All's fair in fighting off bioweapons. Number two is easiest. Just don't let anyone stick you with it.

Dunno. Sounds like the current gig that he had required it. - “More recently, he appeared on NCIS : Los Angeles and started working on his last movie, Move on, where he had a supporting role in the middle of Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.” Fondle and Tomlin might have required it.

Good thing he was vaccinated.

But at 78 I am sure he had “underlying conditions.”

He was only 78.

And vaccinated.

The headline kind of left that part out. 😏

Or not...

A representative for Mangassarian said the actor initially opposed getting the coronavirus vaccine, but eventually got vaccinated after he was required for film projects.

“I know his original position, but after having a conversation with him, his desire to work became more important to him,” Valerie McCaffery of McCaffery Talent Management told The Daily Beast.

Besides age? Dunno (after a quick search.)

We lost Kelly Cannon, too. (Prominent TX Pubbie.) Age 56.

That’s not intended as political or pro / anti vacc. It’s just sad to see her go so young and with so much more to contribute.

Completely false headline. He was vaccinated (2nd to last paragraph).

The brainwashing MSM at it again.
