In the past couple of years, starting a few months after Covid-19 pandemic was brought under control, videos of people dropping dead while just going about their lives began doing the rounds of social media platforms. A man dancing at a wedding collapsing; another slumping down on a badminton court; a young man walking down a street with his friends flopping down clutching his chest.

Comedian Raju Srivastav suffered one in a gym and passed away in a hospital a month later. He was 58. Renowned cardiologist Gaurav Gandhi died at his residence in Jamnagar after suffering a heart attack. He was 41. Popular singer KK complained of chest pain at a concert in Kolkata. He was rushed to a hospital, but the doctors could do little to save him. He was 53.

And then, more recently, at least 10 revelers died while taking part in Garba – a rhythmic group dance with fluctuating tempo – during the 10-day Navratri festival in Gujarat.

All these deaths had led to speculation that this was the aftermath of Covid-19 or signs of long Covid-19, a term used for people suffering from multiple complications long after recovering from the infection. There was also talk of Covid-19 vaccines having some role in these sudden deaths.

But earlier this week, the results of an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) study put an end to these speculations. The study stated that Covid-19 vaccination did not increase the risk of sudden death among young adults and that it, in fact, provided some protection against adverse health events.

You're totes safe vaxxies. The same scientists who made you participate in the vaxx trial pretending its established practice to trial new treatments on the whole population at once say so

The study, however, added that a history of sudden deaths in the family, Covid-19 hospitalisation and certain high-risk behavioural factors – like binge drinking (48 hours before the sudden death) and consumption of recreational drugs – were positively associated with these events.

See they all took drugs

You don't take drugs do you?

Don't take drugs kids

Take experimental vaccines

Chuds owned

Except

but the receipt of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine lowered the odds for unexplained sudden death.

Which I know isn't exactly a strong correlation but still

Man I didn't take it but please don't let the conspiracy schizos be right on this one. Too many people I care about did.

>MFW I use overpopulation as an excuse to kill minorities

I hope muzzies try chimping and get their houses rekt by bulldozers again

Its his culture bigot

But won't someone think of the muzzies though

Gujarati is such a funny language the few times I've heard it IRL. How did they manage to make such a catchy song out of it?

KATHMANDU, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Police in Nepal on Thursday used rattan sticks, tear gas and water cannon to scatter thousands of protesters demanding the restoration of the monarchy abolished 15 years ago.

The "Citizens' Campaign" protesters say governments in place since the monarchy was scrapped, as part of a deal ending a Maoist insurgency, have failed to live up to commitments to develop one of the world's poorest countries.

Protesters tried to dismantle a police barricade on the outskirts of Kathmandu and march into the centre of the capital, prompting riot police to intervene and repel the crowd, witnesses said.

"Police only tried to contain a huge anarchic crowd of protesters," said Jitendra Basnet, the top official in the city administration of Kathmandu, in whose downtown area public protests are banned.

Some police officers were injured by stones thrown by protesters, said Basnet.

Durga Prasai, coordinator of the Citizens' Campaign, said about 10 protesters were injured in the melee, two of them critically.

"We want the republican system abolished and the monarchy to be restored," he said, vowing to continue agitating for that objective and calling for a general strike in Kathmandu, home to about four million people, on Friday.

A specially elected assembly abolished the 239-year-old monarchy in 2008 under terms of an accord that ended a Maoist insurgency, which killed 17,000 people between 1996 and 2006, and established a federal republic.

But political instability has afflicted Nepal since the end of the monarchy with over 10 changes of government, hobbling economic development and forcing millions of young people to seek work mainly in Malaysia, South Korea and the Middle East.

Former Maoist rebel chief Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who still goes by his nom de guerre of Prachanda ("Fierce"), is now Nepal's prime minister heading a coalition with the centrist Nepali Congress party.

Gyanendra, the last king of the Himalayan mountain country wedged between India and China, lives as a commoner with his family in Kathmandu.

I never was actually Hindu, but I got pissed at how overbearing they were and decided to act.

Results:

I live with a roommate in a city nearby to them. They came and asked me in person why. My white roommate was so confused at three Panjabi people talking in a mix of English and Panjabi in front of him.

They didn't talk to me again for 3 months. I went on with my life. Work didn't care, but I had to stop eating beef with my coworkers to ensure they didn't blow my cover. Let me tell you those nights where I could sneak away to a city and hour away and enjoy a five guys? Heavenly.

My siblings kept asking me to go with them to the gurdwara. I'd roll up with a shaved beard and head and no covering just to rub it in their face with a Hindu swastika painted on my hands by myself.

I revealed this week it was all a ruse because I was pissed at how overbearing they were and because I thought it was funny. Mom is mad. Dad was laughing his butt off. Brothers are laughing their butt off. Made Sikhsgiving dinner with them (yes that's what we call it) very awkward but who cares. Just got back to my apartment and am relieved about it. Beard is growing back but I'm still cutting my hair because frick that. Yes I still have the .

I’m repeating again, get married first. https://t.co/kckvdtZgpI

Jay Shah behind victory of Geert Wilders. It all started after The Netherlands was given saffron colored jersey for World Cup. Saffronization complete now. I hope Pakistan raises the issue at UN.
