Below is the quote of what I typed on page 1 of this thread when reading of IAM's unfortunate passing.
That said, as someone who (like Stickdog, Laodicean and others) is
unvaccinated, and further, had my salaried position terminated -- in late 2022 -- by my employer because of my ethical opposition to mandates/my refusal to comply (though I'd be remiss without adding that I found another position elsewhere that paid me better, without missing time;
millions of others were NOT as fortunate, however), I disagreed strongly with IAM's positions on these mRNA products (as well as his broadly passive -- and at least for a period of time, active support -- of the govt/corporate/bureaucratic responses to covid).
It's unfortunate, the level of smugness and derision leveled at those that opted out, or
attempted to opt out, of the
mass ritual events associated with covid. Even now, there is little acknowledgement or accountability of the great wrongs committed (by both authority figures and fellow citizens, neighbors, and family members).
It will be some time -- years, likely -- before it's more widely acknowledged. A fair amount may never fully take ownership or accountability.

I wish that for him and for all of us, for each of our respective journeys and lost connections here in the material realm.
