It is not limited to end stage co-morbidities and can strike young healthy people, there are multiple examples of death resulting. Credentials are only important when they are backed by an in-depth scientific study that far exceeds basic degrees.

"Killed by a Tampon", not something you would want to be etched into your gravestone.

Just because you were a RN and a paramedic does not make you an expert on Covid or vaccinations.
You are spouting your unqualified opinion, so are no better than those you decry!

True that. ! Way to go Bill. 2 Bills are better than 1.

Can COVID-19 cause sepsis? | Ohio State Medical Center

I added another link about sepsis and Corona Virus 19.

Hopefully there will be more developments in this area with more research.

My father died of it, happens all the time in hospitals after surgery. He got peritonitis first from a colon blockage and then sepsis and antibiotics kept him alive for a long time but every time they tried to lower the strength of the antibiotic he would code. Finally, we just took him home to die a respectable death since his stomach skin was tearing from inside pouring bowel outside his body. Hardest decision I have ever had to make. I knew he would never recover...

Johns Hopkins Medicine states that septicemia, or sepsis, is the clinical name for blood poisoning by bacteria. It is the body's most extreme response to an infection. Almost any type of infection can lead to sepsis but it is not something that goes hand-in-hand with every case of COVID. Sepsis is more likely to ocurr when patients are in the end stages of any number of diseases especially people with chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, lung disease, cancer, and kidney disease according to the CDC.

I worked during the onset of AIDS/HIV, H1N1, MRSA & Necrotizing Fasciitis (flesh eating bacteria) and never have I seen such a level of misinformation and a bombardment of articles that focus on rare atypical cases and the hypothetical.
