Flashback 08/2020:

"The band Smash Mouth did not feel any need to avoid the elephant in the room ...that the socially un-distanced gathering could be a breeding ground for a coronavirus “super-spreader event.”

“F— that COVID s—!” singer Steve Harwell could be heard telling the crowd in video footage. “Now we’re all here together tonight.”

Ive kept receipts on just about every asshole shirking science and promoting Covid denialism.

Even I didnt expect a 3 yr turnaround on Smash Mouth's lead singer's FAFO.

Liver Cancer & alcohol, COVID:

"...we found that post-COVID group had a tendency to have higher total bilirubin levels (P = .05) during hospitalization. Similarly, the post-COVID group had a higher proportion of patients w/ underlying cirrhosis (P = 0.02). Patients had a similar course during hospitalization including most of the variables compared among the 2 groups except the occurrence of hepatorenal syndrome (higher in the post-COVID group; P < .001)."

"Among the outcome variables studied, the post-COVID group had an increased occurrence of HCC (odds ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08–1.32; P < .001)"

As a preventative measure for SeaLions / Strawmanners:

Here is what I implied.

▫️Motherfucker is dead
▫️Motherfucker is dead young
▫️Motherfucker was in Smash Mouth
▫️Motherfucker promoted super spreading events before vaccines
▫️ Presumably being a rock band mbr, MFer drank and partied!
▫️COVID infects ACE2 rich cells, such as cholangiocytes and hepatocytes
▫️ Maybe Motherfucker gets 5-7 more quality-adjusted life years (QALY) if he didnt FAFO.

That you say presumably means you're not aware, but the guy had a serious alcoholism problem for many many years. Did COVID contribute? Dunno. But he died of liver failure according to the statement from the family.
