Good story. Noted a couple things for the final save.

"Post popular posts". Should be most popular routes?.

"Same of a city." Name of a city?

Thanks for the kind story, feel bad for the guy.

I heard so many stories of cancer, and many I've known have died from it in the past 2 years.

I think the vax is the likely cause of most cases, or it made the already possible, much much more likely.

We need data on how much cancer is in vax vs unvax population, problem is this topic is so extreme in it's political tribalism, just talking about it often warrants condemnation, scape goating and tribal drum bashing.

I'm personally upset and mad at how I and many other unvaxed were treated during the Pandemic (literally national newspaper surveys saying we should be imprisoned, separated from our children etc), but I feel terrible for those that took it and now suffer daily from the damage caused by it, imo.

Thank you. Prefer this so much more than rants about the CDC and COVID pandemic policies and politics.

501 likes for a short vignette well told.

Not bad: you have a decent prose style, and know to keep it short and focused.

So many times we hear or say the words “it felt like I was meant to be there”. And one wonders, is anything in life ever a coincidence?

"I didn't recognize you because I've never seen your face." As A retired surgeon I've asked my physicians new and old to show me their face when they greet me- fine to put it back on. Would I let a physician counsel me about illness when I've never seen the face?Strange looks from several-what a world. Great writing -got me thinking. Of course as an Irishman I would have been chatting regardless of recognition.

A little disappointing but quite authentic. No apostrophe in its as you used it. Cancer can be precipitated clearly by environmental toxins and oncogenes. Perhaps, most are random. The conversation could have turned to God and the meaning of life. There are lots of good books on suffering, from spiritual and other points of view.
