Food writer and author of the hit memoir “Julie and Julia,” Julie Powell, has died at 49 from cardiac arrest. Powell had been tweeting about not feeling well in recent weeks.
“‘Julie & Julia’ became an instant classic and it is with gratitude for her unique voice that we will now remember Julie’s dazzling brilliance and originality,” Judy Clain, the editor-in-chief of Little, Brown and Co., said in a statement announcing her death.
“We mourn her loss with her husband Eric and her family. We are sending our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Julie, whether personally or through the deep connections she forged with readers of her memoirs. She was a brilliant writer and a daring, original person and she will not be forgotten.”

The writer had also tweeted about being vaccinated and boosted several times.
...
So, as a vaccinated, boosted person, I’ve not been tested for Covid. Is it possible for me to be at this point? The Long Covid thing worries me, but also keep in mind that I’m a hypochondriac,” Powell tweeted in June.
Powell also tweeted about not allowing unvaccinated relatives into her home.
“My cousin won’t get vaccinated and I don’t want to allow him in the house with my niece and nephew who are too young to be vaccinated,” she wrote in October, 2021.

Powell died at her home in New York on Oct. 26.
Yes. The public health experts thought those were the best ways to slow the pandemic and prevent harm to the public. In good faith.
They had no authority to shut anything down but gave their medical advice to the politicians, as they should have.
It was the politicians who chose what to do with this advice.
This is the tyranny you accept because "it was a novel virus". This is the anti-Constitutional authority you accept and embrace in the name of science. Science which was not scientific, nor peer reviewed, nor debated, otherwise you are cancelled financially or socially.
We're getting pretty far afield. The discussion is about relative death rates and the data that show the vaccines are effective in saving lives.
The data you are providing needs to be peer reviewed for accuracy due to the liars that are providing it, end of story.
The data are not being provided by the CDC, they're being provided by thousands of healthare organizations around the country. The CDC is just aggregating the data and transparently reporting it - and making it available to the public and researchers.
The data are also out there, transparent, and available for anyone to challenge/review/whatever. They've been there for months and no one has found fault with any organization's submitted data as far as I know.
You're free to think all these healthcare systems are conspiring to lie to us for some reason, but I don't.
No he wasn't, as he's now admitted.
McCullough told MedPage Today in an email. "I am concerned that the ABIM is attempting medical censorship of my cited statements made in Senate testimony and national TV interviews and using intimidation tactics including threatening unprecedented reprisal."
McCullough did not elaborate on how ABIM was attempting to censor him, and he did not clarify the discrepancy in Kirsch's report and Johnson's tweet suggesting he lost his credentials. However, it appears the process to revoke McCullough's credentials has been put in motion.
A closer look at ABIM's disciplinary sanctions policy revealed that the process for revoking a physician's certification can take months, and a physician is allowed to retain their board certification until the disciplinary recommendations made by its Credentials and Certification Committee (CCC) are made final.
McCullough said:
"Yesterday I was stripped of my board certifications in Internal Medicine and Cardiology after decades of perfect clinical performance, board scores, and hundreds of peer reviewed publications."
He lied.
