)Need to purge that anger and despair - I'm seeing one a week lately in my broader circle. We knew it was coming but it's still hard. We cannot afford to get numb to this.
Another one yesterday....my friend of 35 years. Warned him not to take the booster; he'd already 2x himself.
He argued with me at the beginning of this shit with him arrogantly siding with "science".
We'd met at Uni - he was pure maths, computer science, philosophy; I was Philosophy, Industrial Relations and Psychology.
We agreed to disagree, with him warmly stating "ah yes...but I have always been a man of science and you, a woman of faith".
The sort of friend who is always there....catch up every few months if you haven't....
Bad asthma brought on by the 2x...nearly died. Got better, returned home....months later, had the booster. Died suddenly.
...at home
He was fit and 56. Leaving behind a wife and three daughters, 28, 20, 19
Rest in peace my friend.

But rather than go on in this vein, sounds like he was a good friend of yours AQ, sorry for your loss
