Actually, that's true, my father is one of those. Got the shots and at least one booster. He probably got all the boosters, although we didn't discuss it much.
It's hard to say if the shots killed him, though; he was 93 and had a lot of back and skin problems already. He was under stress, had high blood pressure, not physically active... so when he died of heart failure after a heart attack, well, the other problems could have explained it too.
Here's what still gobsmacks me. He was a PhD scientist who worked at a pharmaceutical company all his career, and he's the one who taught me to be skeptical of claims by people in power. Yet he followed his lifelong "trusted sources" even when they flew straight in the face of good sense, straight into the gallon Kool-Aid pitcher. There was no dissuading him. All I could do was show him as much love as I could right up until the end (which he reciprocated).

How does something like that happen??
