I honestly don't know, what is wrong on question about his vaccination status? Multiple vaccine-related posts here are down-voted/deleted without simple answer.

Sudden death of someone who looked in perfect shape and was only 47 brings a lot of questions. If someone find it inappropriate... Are those question appropriate to ask during entrance to restaurant?

There is no reason questions seeking the truth should ever be censored/shunned. The truth is a lot of users here likely took it, and don't want to even consider the possibility of side effects. Its disappointing but easy to understand the human nature behind it.
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by croes on Thursday October 06, 2022 @12:35PM (#33110476)
Because it's a o e sided question. Why not also question if he was infected by corona virus? You know the virus that has a documented effect on the health of the heart.

And the moment both groups are pretty large, the vaccinated and the least once infected with corona but the virus is never a suspect in certain groups.

Blood clots, myocarditis etc. is only ever attributed to the vaccine and not the virus.

> Blood clots, myocarditis etc. is only ever attributed to

This class of statements, or rhetoric generalizations which cannot be read as a logical statement (where 'only ever' is strict), should be avoided. False universal statements add nothing to the style - they may easily detract -, they are gratuitous, they are offensive, and technically they clash with the requirement of respect which seems to be implicit in the guidelines.

I can reassure you: yes, some of us wondered of what could have been the chance that blood circulation affecting diseases may have impacted, and also of the chances of other factors, and also of the weakness of such estimations, and finally of the limited time these vague thoughts deserve.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by croes on Thursday October 06, 2022 @01:03PM (#33110915)
You realize my last sentence refers to the certain groups in the previous sentence?

These groups only the vaccine as the culprit even if someone dies by accident

"Why not also question if he was infected by corona virus?"

Sure, it is legit question. But for me personally not relevant, because I know more previously healthly people dead/serious ill because of vaccines and just one (obese) dead because of covid. I prefer to gather non-anonymous and non-generalized examples.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by croes on Friday October 07, 2022 @10:21AM (#33121715)
This is not about COVID or vaccination side effects, this is about long term damage.
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by aceazzameen on Thursday October 06, 2022 @12:37PM (#33110500)
Because they're already jumping to a biased conclusion by asking the question. Heart disease was a top killer before Covid existed. For all we know he ate poorly but still looked fit. Or had a genetic condition. So why even ask that question here?

Covid/vaccine related questions should best be left to topics concerning large scale studies, not a single tragic instance.

You «jump[] to a biased conclusion» only when the conclusion is held - which you cannot conclude. The poster should keep it open: you should do the same. As you are mandated by the guidelines and the constraint against weak interpretations.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by watwut on Thursday October 06, 2022 @02:51PM (#33112378)
There is also zero reason to assume he was vaccinated while traveling through multiple foreign countries.

The vaccination status questions appear, because the theories about this being caused by covid vaccination flew over internet in anti vaccine circles. Just like every time famous person dies. The the whole political goal of these questions is to imply he was killed by vaccination while not needing to prove anything.

And it IS manipulative political question. We don't know his vaccination status nor when he was vaccinated. That happens to be private health information.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by walterbell on Thursday October 06, 2022 @03:01PM (#33112531)
> while traveling through multiple foreign countries.

On the contrary, there are cases where people flying through multiple countries which have different approaches to health treatments have ended up taking multiple pharmaceutical interventions, one per nation-state sanctioned regime, where there have been zero clinical trials on that specific combination of treatments.

To be pro or anti "vaccine" is as meaningless as being pro or anti "software" or "chemical" or "food". Details matter. We are currently in the world's largest, unprecedented scientific experiment, and we are fortunate that the vast majority of participants have been healthy. Data from the outliers will be studied for decades to come and future generations will honor their sacrifice and contribution to science.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by watwut on Friday October 07, 2022 @02:49AM (#33118182)
Before traveling, yes. During traveling, no it does not make much sense. Especially due to the way health insurance works - it will pay if you get sick but usually not for vaccinations etc.

> To be pro or anti "vaccine" is as meaningless as being pro or anti "software" or "chemical" or "food". Details matter.

We are specifically talking about covid-19 vaccines.

? We are currently in the world's largest, unprecedented scientific experiment, and we are fortunate that the vast majority of participants have been healthy.

You are lying. Practically, it is not experiment.

> Data from the outliers will be studied for decades to come and future generations will honor their sacrifice and contribution to science.

What does that have to do with whether trying to imply vaccines are responsible for Kim Jung Gi? Literally for no reason other then "I want it to and it would confirm my priors".

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by walterbell on Friday October 07, 2022 @03:25AM (#33118358)
> Practically, it is not experiment.

The U.S. NIH says otherwise, e.g. here is one of the ongoing clinical studies, which continues through March 2023, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04848584

  Study Type: Observational
  Official Title: Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 BNT162b2 Vaccine Effectiveness Study - Kaiser Permanente Southern California
  Actual Study Start Date:  May 15, 2021
  Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 31, 2023
  Estimated Study Completion Date: March 31, 2023
> covid-19 vaccines

WHO lists 11 vaccines and 4 types, each with different mechanisms of action, effectiveness and safety, https://covid19.trackvaccines.org/agency/who/

  Protein subunit
  RNA
  Non Replicating Viral Vector
  Inactivated Virus
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by watwut on Friday October 07, 2022 @07:32PM (#33128260)
There being ongoing related studies does not mean the whole vaccination thing is experiment. The level of manipulativeness and appeals to emotions rather then logic are super high higher.

Also there are way more then just 11 vaccines all in all.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by walterbell on Saturday October 08, 2022 @05:43PM (#33136290)
> ongoing related studies does not mean the whole vaccination thing is experiment

It means that the outcome of vaccine studies which complete in 2023, e.g. medium-term adverse effects, identification of specific risk pools, mitigations for adverse effects, will primarily benefit those who receive treatment after the studies complete in 2023.

Any beneficial information from a study completing in 2023 would self-evidently not be available in 2021 and 2022, i.e. science would have yielded new scientific knowledge. Participating in an ongoing scientific procedure with partial data is a risk-benefit decision, but that does not make it any less of an experiment, when there is ongoing, parallel research, clinical trials and scientists working diligently to answer open questions.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by t0bia_s on Friday October 07, 2022 @04:41AM (#33118793)
"Practically, it is not experiment."

It is. Vaccine trials cannot be speed up. Human biology is not changeable as some sources trying to tell you. You need time to observe for example changes in fertility. walterbell gave you links for more info.

"Literally for no reason other then "I want it to and it would confirm my priors"."

Sorry, but that is your biased deduction.

Kim Jung Gi was not infertile. As much as he kept private life private, that much is known.

"Just like every time famous person dies."

Only for those who are healthy and suddenly die because of chest pain. Also when you know personaly people that are seriously ill or dead because of vaccines, than it is really hard to not ask questions.

"That happens to be private health information."

It was and it should be. But since our governments decided to make those information mandatory for for/entrance to various places/etc., it is not private anymore.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by aceazzameen on Friday October 07, 2022 @11:14AM (#33122467)
But you're jumping to conclusions he was healthy. Why? And then why the conversation asking if he was vaccinated? Why is no one asking about heart disease? Is it because vaccines have become political?

Cardiovascular and heart disease information:

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by t0bia_s on Saturday October 08, 2022 @03:12AM (#33130437)
I don't know about his private medical information, but from photographs of Kim I suggest that he was in good shape.

You speak about how political vaccines are and share links to most political institutions we have. How ironic is this?

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by uwagar on Friday October 07, 2022 @09:44AM (#33121184)
guess he must be fully vaccinated to enter (he was boarding plane to New York) USA? or he must be a USA citizen or permanent resident i think?
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by watwut on Friday October 07, 2022 @07:36PM (#33128298)
Yes. And he traveled through multiple countries and travelled a lot due to his work.

It is quite unlikely he got vaccination shortly before his hearth attack. He would have had to have it while traveling for it to be close enough rather then, more sensibly, him taking vaccine at home around time most people took one.

"Because they're already jumping to a biased conclusion by asking the question."

Well... Maybe your conclusion is biased.

"Covid/vaccine related questions should best be left to topics concerning large scale studies, not a single tragic instance."

Why? I prefer individual, non-anonymous source of data. Without conclusions.

Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by aceazzameen on Friday October 07, 2022 @10:54AM (#33122183)
Because you're not going to get any answers of substance in this topic. A person died of a possible heart related condition. Why are there so many people asking if he was vaccinated? What does that have to do here? How come no one is asking if he oversalted his food every day? Frankly, vaccination questions in this topic are off-topic.
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by t0bia_s on Saturday October 08, 2022 @03:03AM (#33130407)
Well maybe because more and more people have some bad experience with vaccines. Question, that are not comfortable to answer for you, are not necessarily off-topic.
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by aceazzameen on Saturday October 08, 2022 @03:17PM (#33135143)
It's not about my comfort, it's about you jumping to a conclusion without giving any other possibility equal weight.
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by t0bia_s on Sunday October 09, 2022 @07:26AM (#33140004)
That is your conclusion. I just asked question. Which is, for you, automatically concluded. But you still gave me no answer for that question, which could be really considered as offtopic.
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by lalalandland on Thursday October 06, 2022 @01:36PM (#33111333)
As I understand he died close to air travel. Sitting cramped for hours can create blood clots in legs etc.
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by deepzn on Thursday October 06, 2022 @02:39PM (#33112227)
Not sure where he first had chest pains, but the message says on the way to the airport. Whether they reached the airport, or in the car, but don't think on the plane.
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by summerlight on Thursday October 06, 2022 @01:57PM (#33111623)
Just in case for the someone who's genuinely curious about its possibility, it's very unlikely tied to vaccination since most of the blood clot/heart attack cases happen within several days after vaccination and these are already very rare. And we haven't observed any significant mid-term impacts as well. And I don't think Jung Gi had a recent vaccination since S. Korea's recent vaccination numbers are very low (a few thousand each day).
Re:Kim Jung Gi has died by briandon on Friday October 07, 2022 @01:27AM (#33117755)
Heart damage resulting from vaccine-induced myocarditis can cause or contribute to heart attacks weeks, months, or years later, long after the acute symptoms of heart inflammation have seemingly resolved. And myocarditis isn't an on-off thing. The symptoms can be so severe and alarming that an individual will seek treatment immediately or mild enough that they ascribe them to a less serious issue (e.g. heartburn/indigestion) and "tough it out" without seeking care. Whether they get care or not, the acute symptoms may dissipate but permanent damage may have been done to their heart.

Under the unusual circumstances prevailing in many developed nations over the past couple of years, with the authorities and medical professions coercing entire populations into indiscriminately receiving experimental injections that have turned out to damage some low-covid-risk-persons' hearts, there is a generalized reluctance on the part of the same groups (government and medical bureaucracies) to acknowledge the damage their actions have inflicted. Your belief that vaccine-related fatalities are restricted to a period of a few days post-shot, is a result of the authorities' grudging admissions (and those only because the deaths are undeniable) rather than an accurate picture of what's going on.

Here's a link to a Danish study about the longer-term outlook for patients with acute myocarditis who were hospitalized, using pre-covid, pre-covid-shot data ("Long-term prognosis following hospitalization for acute myocarditis – a matched nationwide cohort study"): https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14017431.2021.1...

From the abstract:

Prognosis in patients with apparently uncomplicated myocarditis is in general perceived as good, but data on long-term outcomes are sparse.

A bit further down...

Myocarditis in younger patients without prior cardiac disease was associated with a long-term excess risk of HF hospitalization, and death, even in patients free of events and HF medication 1 year after discharge.

Many nations are seeing a large increase in non-covid excess deaths of working-age persons and the magnitude of the effect seems to correlate with the uptake of mRNA and adenovirus-vector covid shots and boosters. It's hard to get to the bottom of what's going on now because the same people responsible for investigating this sort of thing have gone all-in on forcing shots onto people who mostly (non-elderly/non-direly-ill) aren't at risk of severe covid. Until the members of that cohort of experts and officials move on, retire, or are fired, I'm afraid that this will all continue to be either "baffling"/"mysterious" or falsely normalized.

Not really. Dropping dead from a widowmaker in your 40s, while not common, is hardly unheard of. Could have been something else, too, like an aortic dissection. Nobody knows but his doctor and maybe his family. Speculating gets us nothing. We know how to lead healthy lives, should we choose. And accidents still happen.
