The Las Vegas gunman was allergic to certain chemicals and medications — and often wore gardening gloves around so he wouldn’t get rashes, his brother said Wednesday.

It also emerged Wednesday that Paddock was prescribed 50 10-milligram tablets of diazepam — commonly called Valium — on June 21 by Dr. Steven Winkler, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

“Wonder how Americans in the 1800s survived”
None did. They are all dead.
My wife swears by garlic.
As a family, we’ve never had flu shots. My doctors office has to ask but I get the idea that they don’t really agree with them.
When I say no, they quickly say OK.
I’ve always questions the 36000 number. Watching the news during the height of flu season, they will say that the second person in the state died of flu today, 96 year old Erma Flogbottom.
In Maryland, where I have the misfortune of residing, the population is about 1.8% of the total US population, so if that 36000 number is true, fatalities due to flu would be 650 people.
I just tried to find some data about Maryland flu deaths and found this from Huffington Post Canada.
In 2010 there were just 500 US deaths attributed to flu. In 2001, 257 people had flu on their death certificate and it’s believed that only 18 truly had the flu.
That’s a long way from 36,000 flu deaths and any one of them is a statistical anomaly in an environment of 330,000,000. Certainly not enough reason to get a flu vaccine.
The Brothers Karamazov,” novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky has his character Ivan say, “If God is dead, all things are permissible.”
My first thought too.
I will never get another flu shot. It kills/injures more than it saves.
Have you ever known anyone who had diphtheria? I haven’t. Tetanus? Nope- Pertussis yes I had a friend whose son was susceptible to it but he survived. On the other hand the leading cause of death for infants is SIDS. SIDS can be triggered by the DPT shot. Pediatricians push the vaccines and do not inform parents of the risks associated with them. My Grandson died 12/6/16, cause of death ruled as “undetermined” but the medical examiner told me it was classic SIDS but wouldn’t be listed as such because he was 14 months old. We believe his death was caused by the DTaP shot.
Here is a link to a recent court case that ruled on behalf of the parents whose baby died following his DPT shot. https://ecf.cofc.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2013vv0611-73-0
Unsafe to touch?
Nonsense!
He wasn’t wearing gloves in the picture with him and some lady when he had a shot glass in his hand.
And yet others lived long productive lives like Wyatt Earp.
Again, Many lived long prosperous lives also. Wyatt Earp , born 1848, died 1929.
including the amount of money paid to a Hurricane woman who killed her mother while on the drug
Hurricane Woman on Valium? Who’d think that Valium would stop something called a Hurricane Woman?
Depending on the type of glove, and a little practice, one could reload with them just fine. I wear gloves for cold weather shooting, and sometimes just to avoid getting finger nicks when using certain guns that tend to nick because of edges. Doesn't really matter I think because he wasn't really reloading. Just shooting each gun until empty and them picking up the next, or maybe swapping a magazine. Not too much dexterity needed for that.
The gloves will also protect against hot barrel burns, but a good shooter knows what not to touch to avoid that.
Again, the gloves thing doesn't necessarily mean much, but its certainly grist for the conspiracy mill. He's got pics out there without gloves, then suddenly he has gloves and his brother says he wears them for allergies. hmmmm. Probably nothing to this, but it does have a smell.
Agree. That’s why it seems strange that this is something that the brother would bring attention to.
You mean when life expectancy was 30 years shorter?
Thanks.
Convenient for all kinds of evidence - not just fingerprints.
So how did he play cards wearing garden gloves?
Sounding more and more like the Unabomber.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a Unabomber supporter
Reported what - that Paddock was taking it? Sorry, but I don't recall the Freeper's handle.
We live in New England where there are many old cemeteries: A vast number never made it to twenty or thirty years old and the infant and child mortality rates are staggering based on the ages of the deceased listed on the grave stones.
While some lived to a ripe old age, if you lived to 40 you were an "old man". One more thing we noted; women didn't tend to outlive men in earlier days. Many men had two or even three wives before they died because their former wives had died early and had remarried.
I agree, that's a scary cocktail. Like I said, I only saw one Freeper claim that Paddock was on Prozac. Need official corroboration.
