Taylor Hawkins' Toxicology Report Shows Opioids, Antidepressants, THC in Foo Fighters Drummer's System
aol ^ | March 26, 2022

Posted on 03/26/2022 11:09:15 PM PDT by MarvinStinson

A toxicology report for late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins shows the musician had multiple types of substances in his system at the time of death.

"The toxicology test on urine from Taylor Hawkins' body preliminarily found 10 types of substances, including: THC, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and opioids," the Attorney General's Office of Colombia shared.

"The National Institute of Legal Medicine is continuing medical studies to completely clarify the cause of death for Taylor Hawkins," continued the statement. The Attorney General's office will also continue conducting its own investigation.

The Foo Fighters confirmed Hawkins' sudden death at 50 late Friday night on social media.

"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins," the band shared in a statement on Twitter. "His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time."

On Friday, an ambulance was dispatched to a hotel in the north of Bogotá in Chapinero, Colombia, to assist a patient — believed to be Hawkins — according to a statement from the city's health secretary.

"The health professional who attended the emergency indicated that they performed the respective resuscitation maneuvers," the statement said in Spanish. "However, there was no response and the patient was declared deceased."

During his last in-person interview with Rolling Stone in June 2021, Hawkins declined to answer a question about sobriety, telling the outlet at the time, "I just lead a really healthy lifestyle."

The drummer entered into a two-week-long coma after overdosing in 2001.

Drugs are the main occupational hazard of the rock-star career.

That's like saying that sitting in tall trees that are being cut down is the main occupational hazard of lumberjacking.

Marijuana never killed anyone, don’t blame it

the Chinese Opioids did killed him

just like they do to THOUSANDS of others every year in North America, but those people don’t get a public obituary because they’re not famous

Opioids are China’s method of quietly attacking us

The vic’s most recent reported hospitalization for drugs was in 2002. In February of this year there were reports that he may have been hospitalized, but those reports haven’t been confirmed.

If the guy OD’d, what a waste of a life.

But if he was clean and he’s being called a junkie in order to cover up what really killed him, that’s despicable.

“...The thing about addicts is, that if they are to get clean it has to be THEIR decision. Nobody can do it for them.”

As the mother of a former addict and alcoholic I totally agree. My daughter had to make the decision to get clean herself. She is now clean and sober for the past ten years.

In dubious deaths of young men my rule is it was the poison vaxxxxxx by default. Death by spike vaxxxx until proven otherwise. So where is your proof on Taylor Hawkins? Hawkins looked in good shape and was strong drummer, but the vaxxxxxx cut him short. Grohl being a vaxxxx true believer, I am sure all band members submitted to vaxxxxx and boosters

I am joking a bit but serious too.

Every one of your posts is spot on. It has become a cult.

With all due respect, from Dec 2000 through about Feb 2022, this nation (and maybe the world) has witnessed one of the most incredible cult-like sell-jobs ever. And for the record, I'd never ridicule ANYONE who voluntarily took these shots. Medical decisions are very personal, and anyone with comorbidities or serious health problems who choose the shot voluntarily (including JimRob...) should be left alone...

....As should the people who do NOT accept the shots. But that American tradition of live-and-let-live got trashed along the way. Municipalities and companies imposed vaxx mandates. An OSHA rule became subject to a SCOTUS case. Families and friends were ripped apart. But we are supposed to forget about that now, and if we don't we are a "cult"?

Let's review some facts, so some people can understand why many other people will not "let go" of 2021. Per the FDA in June 2020, the FDA would expect that a COVID-19 vaccine would prevent disease or decrease its severity in at least 50% of people who are vaccinated.

This is where words become REALLY important. In the US, the basis of approval for EUA and the only "approved" Vaccine, was for PREVENTION...NOT for decreased severity. Indeed, look at the actual FDA and Pfizer-BioNTech info.

Per the FDA's website,

On August 23, 2021, the FDA approved the first COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and will now be marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older.(emphasis added)

Per the Comernity Insert,

--------------------------- INDICATIONS AND USAGE----------------------------
COMIRNATY is a vaccine indicated for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. (1)(emphasis added)

Per the Summary Basis for Regulatory Action, under "Indication"

Active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in individuals 16 years of age and older. (Emphasis added)

Clearly, the vaccine is for PREVENTION. Nothing else. All of the clinical trials (limited as they were) and statistical confidence intervals were focused on VE with regard to PREVENTION...not hospitalization, not ER visits, not fatalies, and not symptoms. Accordingly, THAT is the basis upon which approval and Efficacy should be based.

So let's examine the time-series of VE for these shots since authorization, keeping in mind the FDA benchmark of 50%. Remember, VE = the percentage reduction in infection rate in the test vs control groups.

I'll concede that published VEs in various studies in 2021 were above 50%. At the same time, VE declined over time. In and of itself, this isn't too problematic - few things last forever. BUT, the rate of decay in VE didn't get much airtime. Indeed, by the end of July I did some modeling and it looked like VE would fall below 50% just 6 months after the second shot and become totally ineffective by 10 months. Further research in August showed VE during Delta falling to 66%.

Ruh roh.

As an important side note, all of this research is based on statistical analyses of data. They are NOT clinical trials. That is an important distinction, because 1) none of these shots underwent legitimate trials that examined long-term impacts that other approved vaccines underwent and 2) vaccines fail trials 59% of the time and take a median of 9 years. Therefore, we should have VERY LITTLE TOLERANCE for declining VE for these shots.

With Omicron, we saw VE being zero in Norway and Denmark and of course the US.

Pleae note, at no point in this post have I declared that these shots have nanotechnology in them, make you glow, have the Mark of the Beast, or are part of some conspiracy. I'm playing by their rules of "science."

Therefore, if VE is now not only below 50% but at zero, and the benchmark was 50%, the EUAs and approvals should be yanked.

But, notice what happened...the goalposts moved. Oh, it doesn't matter if these shots are ineffective at PREVENTION...they keep you out of the ground and the hospital, and maybe these elixirs lower symptoms. Fine, but that's not the basis of approval...rules are there for a reason.

Finally, boosters prop up VE but decreasingly so. Soon you'll need a boost every week.

THIS is why people refuse the shots.... If we follow their "rules of science" and these shots don't not have VE above 50%, then they absolutely deserve ridicule and revocation.

And yet, these "approved" shots - which have caused familial and societal strife, vective, unrest, unemployment, and brought us to a Constitutional "crisis" where three lawyers on SCOTUS thought it was peachy for OSHA to enact a mandate without congressional approval - remain in effect under an EUA where the BASIS was PREVENTION.

Maybe this guy OD'd. It seems like that is where the medical examiner wants us to go. Fair enough and RIP. I never liked Flu Pfizers anyway and being in a band with Dave Grohl has a higher case fatality rate than covid.

But remember that part about clinical trials taking 9 years before a vaccine gets approval, to flesh out potential problems? That's what many citizen reporters are conducting, because it sure seems unlikely that we will get a legitimate follow-up from the pro-shot people or the manufacturers.

To be sure, this doesn't occupy my existence. I'm back in the office as are many colleagues (though 50% occupancy rarely delights senior management) and I can see a rock show without a mask. I still see people masked - that's ok...maybe they have an immunocompromised parent living with them. Or maybe they read The Atlantic and have been reprogrammed. Whatever, I've generally moved on.

But the fact that some people object strenuously to this follow-up activity is VERY telling. I'm sure they'd prefer for everyone to happily dance around and forget the darkness of 2021, now that a seasonal virus is fading into the background. Mark my words - when the fall and the virus return, Emerson, Lake and Palmer's famous lyrics "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends" will be ringing in your ears.

The objectors likely also want us to forget about Tuskegee, Vietnam, Watergate, Lewinsky, WMD, 9/11, and Embassador Stevens - what difference does it make, right? I mean, we all can walk around freely again because the CDC says so. Who cares about the kids who have speech and development problems because of 2 years of virtual and masked education, or the elderly who died without family around them because it was "too dangerous." Let's just STFU and treat 2021 like it was a bad dream, right? It's over, man.

Would love to hear what else he was on. Tricyclics are still widely prescribed but have a ton more interactions than more recent SSRIs. They can be used with Benzodiazepines for anxiety. Pot is mostly neutral. You can get opioids for a bad back or dental surgery. Not sure any of these would cause chest pain.
Dude was the picture of health and didn’t look like many other rock star drug addicts. He looked different from years ago when he had a problem.

These vaccines, mainly those based on the mRNA platform, have presented this adverse effect more frequently than any previously used vaccine, probably because of their greater immunogenicity and reactogenicity

The key phrase there is "more frequently." That's the whole shooting match.

It's a bit like George Floyd. Many people believe he OD'd and the drugs killed him, ignoring the knee of the incompetent cop on his neck. They go together...maybe Floyd would have tapped out without the cop. We will never know.

Same thing here. Maybe the drugs killed the drummer. Perhaps being vaxxed and boosted weakened his heart to the point where his "usual" mix of drugs that previously made him happy, now combined with all this and killed him.

We will likely never know. Thanks for the paper.

I appreciate your perspective and I found your post well detailed and makes an excellent argument. You present data that is reasonable and your interpretation of the data are well developed. I have some slight disagreements with some of your interpretations. I disagree what you can extrapolate the needs for accelerating vaccination booster schedule based on observational data. But this is debatable hypothesis.

There is no question that the vaccinations are not the panacea that they were politicized to be. There is no question either that it well prevented numerous progressions to severe disease in those likely to progress.

My main concern as it will always be is to rationally respond to really increasingly bizarre statements that are unfounded and incorrect. There is a lot of that floating around. Thank you for your well developed discussion. I didn’t find it to be a rant at all.

Have a pleasant Sunday.

Interesting the Thread is about a young performer that died as a result of a drug over-dose (autopsy confirming)………….

Yet, at the end of your comment you use a picture of John Belushi……….who was a young performer that died of a drug over-dose.

Ironic.

I do not attack people for not getting vaccinated. In fact there were a few here that I worried about as they have health issues.

I attack the unconfirmed, unverified Blogs, BitChute, Twitter garbage that hasn’t been held accountable as their dire horrific predictions have failed over and over again.

I attack the misinformation that is driving this period in our lives still.

It’s over. No one really should be frantic any longer.

If you live in California or New York, I’m sorry for ya, but it will be over there too very soon.

When there are limits that can be clearly defined by the amount of toxins in someone’s blood post mortem containing traceable and measurable narcotics, that’s what killed them.

Amazing that before 2020……..a death via drug over dose was easily determined. Now in 2022…….”gee, we’ll never know”. Bull.

Joplin, Hendrix, Jackson, Monroe, Presley, Ledger, are just a few of the many famous performers that died early in life due to drug over-doses.

If those people died within the last 12 months………before any information is known, the excited Vaccine Pallbearers would be……well, excited.

Great detailed post, Doodle Bob. These anti-vaxxers are fine with Fauci's lies, Walensky/Fauci lies, NIH lies, WHO liwa, Pharma lies, Biden admin lies. No, what really GETS these particular anti-vaxxers is people who object to all the lies, want to prevent more lying, and want accountability and the use of actual science to help preserve lives.

Since what we post doesn't fit the 'narrative', they obsessively tell people we're crazy cult members. THAT is obsession; every day they labor silence people for having an opinion not approved by the medical regime. I've never logged on to FR to find/read posts by fake doctors and paramedics telling me what to focus on, post about, and when to 'move along.'
