Bodybuilding Icon Dead at 63, Read His Last Words About the ‘Vaccine’
“I have enough confidence in the vaccine, based on my research, to get it done,” Brignole said.
“Those of you who think the vaccine kills people can use me as a test. If I die, you were right. If I don’t die, and have no ill effects, you were wrong, and should admit it (at least to yourselves). Better yet, you should admit that you were misled, and tell the world who misled you, so other people can benefit by avoiding those fearmongers.”
“I’m vaccinated! Well, the first of two. Let’s get this done so we can get back to traveling, going to concerts, and having fun. My vaccine was yesterday, and I had no problem with it. My deltoid was a bit sore, but otherwise fine. We’re all in this together, so let’s do our share to beat it," Brignole said.
On Saturday, USA Today fact-checked the claims that Brignole died from the COVID-19 injection.
They said the claims were FALSE.
“Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner records show Brignole died of a COVID-19 infection, not the COVID-19 vaccine,” according to the outlet.
“While Brignole did suffer from Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, according to the medical examiner’s records, there was no other cause of death listed. There have also been no credible reports connecting Brignole’s death to the vaccine.”
From USA Today:
Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Brignole died from the COVID-19 vaccine. Despite what social media users claim, the medical examiner who investigated Brignole's death found he died from COVID-19.
The Gateway Pundit noted:
However, the LA coroner’s website stated deferred, meaning the cause of death has not been determined and the medical examiner is requesting more investigation into the death, including additional studies.
The article in USA Today was met with disapproval.
One user commented, “Really? He had cardiovascular disease, vaccinated and boosted and he dies from covid. Not to mention he’s a bodybuilder eats healthy and works out daily!”
“There you go big gov and are so-called controlled elite own quacks selling you more lies. the vac killed him like all the other ones not being reported,” another commented.
“Nice cover story,” another said.
“All unexplained deaths will now be blamed on covid that the vaccine did not prevent,” another said.
A friend of Doug’s reached out to The Gateway Pundit. Here are her comments:
Jim, I saw your article on Doug Brignole’s passing. I knew Doug back in the 90’s and even did some ghost-writing for him on his newsletter. Some of the commenters are being very viscous and jumping to conclusions. Doug did not ‘juice’ or take steroids when I knew him and I do not believe he would ever go that route.
I just wanted to say that Doug was passionate about health and helping others. My guess for the reason that he took the vax and made that post about it was that he was tired of the arguing between people he knew. Doug always tried to be the middle ground. He would have done his research, taken the vax, and then posted it as a way to stop the arguing (mostly amongst the people he knew). We don’t know if the vax contributed to or was the cause of his death but, regardless, I wish he had not put out the post. It will likely be how a man who did so many great things and was a wonderful friend will be remembered.
