probably not related to the vaccine at all.
And the Myocarditis concerns with the vaccine (and it’s not exclusive to vaccines) was with younger males, both because they are more at-risk of it, and less at-risk of developing at serious illness if they got COVID. That said, the risk for getting Myocarditis was significantly higher if one gets COVID.

Regardless, it was rare side effect AND, it usually resolves itself within a couple of months. So he would have to have had this rare side effect (especially since he wasn’t in the group where it was less rare), and that had happened recently (he was probably boosted quite a while ago if he was), and then it would have to have been an actual contributing factor (which a certainty even if those other conditions are met).

Yeah, same thing got Scott Weiland. Took a COVID booster in 2015 and snorted a shite load of cocaine and had a heart attack.

Scott Weiland was a mess compared to Taylor Hawkins.


More than likely Weiland was in worse shape, but is isn’t like we are privy to all of Hawkins’ personal life. As much as he claimed to be sober, we don’t really know how true that was. And his body must have taken a huge pounding in 2001 with that 2 week coma after his heroin overdose. And he was 50. Suffice it to say, his heart was never going to be much of a match against cocaine.

You brought it up. Don’t want push back on it, perhaps have something to back up your claim?

I wonder if he had some issues with his heart like myocarditis and perhaps using strong coke did him in? just wondering


i claim that you struggle with reading comprehension, evidence supports my claim

I wonder if it is because you are stupid, or blinded by your need to defend the vaccine based on your own decisions on what you put in your body?

I also claim that I do not care what you think, I wonder if you can understand that?

What more do you want? I conceded that Hawkins, Weiland, and probably Chris Farley, Belushi, and Hendrix probably all died from COVID boosters.

Jesus, take the W.

now you realize you fricked up and throw up a straw man as you try to back away

it is pretty funny how you compare weiland, who wasted away and had a continuous deep heroin habit, to hawkins, who OD’d 21 years ago, and has spent 20 years displaying high levels of cardiovascular fitness performing in a notoriously anti-drugs band

I will concede that just cocaine could easily have done him in, with no other contributing factors.

but you dismiss someone passively wondering if side effects from his three, and possibly four doses of MRNA vax plus the possibility of strong cocaine could have been what did him

but like I said, this vax defense really matters to you, I can tell

Internationally celebrated Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins died of a drug overdose, according to a report out of Colombia which cited official sources.

“Colombian authorities found: marijuana, antidepressants, opioids, heroine. At least 10 different substances found,” tweeted journalist Luis Carlos Velez on Saturday afternoon, citing Fiscalia Colombia, the national attorney general’s office.

That’s impossible. Fauci and Gates didn’t have the Covid vaccine until 2016

its sad, the guy had a wife and three kids and was universally well regarded.

its tough to recover your public image and industry respectability after ODing and being in a coma for two weeks, but he managed to do it.

really goes to show, once an addict, always an addict and relapse and possibly death is always one weak decision away

Well, as an anti vax guy in general i think it’s a bit of an assumption that he’s super vaxxed up with 3-4 MRNA shots

Jeez. I watched the video from their last concert and I’ll say he didn’t look that great to me. Dave looked a little bloated too honestly.

they were in colombia:

For non-resident foreign travelers 18 years and older:

Vaccinated non-resident foreign travelers must present proof they have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 for at least 14 days prior to travel.

If less than 14 days have elapsed or if the vaccination scheme is not complete, the traveler must present a PCR test with a negative result taken within 72 hours of boarding.

Unvaccinated non-resident foreign travelers will not be allowed to enter Colombia.

At the very least, based on the timing of their tours and travelling schedule, Hawkins was vaxxed and boosted - two or three shots minimum

Haven’t followed him with any ultra close care but recall thinking the last few articles/interviews over a few year run I’ve seen from him he kind of sidestepped the how do you stay sober questions

It kind of came off as a guy that was managing use instead of being sober but who the heck knows.

I’m a drug addict and alcoholic who has been clean and sober since 12/27/87 … 34+ yrs ago. Put myself in treatment after admitting I was powerless and my then lifestyle would eventually lead to death.

The addict & alcoholic is often in denial and justifying that he can have 1 drink, smoke 1 rock, or snort 1 line. In reality, a kilo of cocaine or a distillery full of your favorite adult beverage is never enough. Even after being sober for 3 decades, the addict in me wants to dab, smoke the new strains of potent weed, and take various new drugs that weren’t around in the 1980’s.

I have to remind myself don’t use TODAY, and the Serenity Prayer gets me through difficult times and situations. Pains me to think about Taylor’s wife and kids. All I can do is pray for them since I have not walked in Taylor’s shoes, but fully understand his addiction.

How does Colombia treat a J&J?

As a guy that’s not into vaccines, seems a real possibility too.

Folks in this thread, based on concerts requiring vaccines, seemed to be assuming he’d be ultra vaccinated and not at the minimum possible to tour
