Sad, what was his Vax Status?
Fire fighter. Vax likely mandated to keep his job.
I’m an Occupational physician.
FEMA did a study here in Georgia with the Duluth Firefighters a few years ago to determine why to firefighters die from heart attacks, more than any other profession? By far actually.
More than police officers, plumbers, lawyers, etc.
The heart attacks occur while fighting fires, waiting to fight a fire, after fighting a fire, at home resting, while on vacation and even in retirement.
The study, double blind, found that 33% of all firefighters over have subclinical heart disease, and of those, 50% have significant multi vessel disease.
So, if you have a fire dept with 100 firefighters, 33 will have subclinical coronary artery disease, and of those around 15 will have significant occlusion.
If you are just testing the ones over 50 years of age, the incidence is probably higher.
In fact they had to stop the study, to tell these guys. One of the firefighters had triple vessel disease and he was a try-athelete.
No one knows why.
We think that it’s because they carry one or more of the coronary artery disease genes at a greater frequency than other professions.
And why is that?
Probably, because firefighters tend to marry into firefighter families, esp in big cities.
I am quite sure that this young man died from subclinical heart disease.
The good news is that a 16 hour fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance assessment are the two best screening tests. Which are cheap.
If you are a fighter, know a firefighter, have a firefighter in your family, you should be tested for subclinical coronary heart disease.
