Thank you for the very informative articles. Never been a fan of steroids. They cause a whole lot of problems. They should only be used rarely and only after other means have failed - not as a first line treatment. Flu vaccines causing viral interference is a real problem that is swept under the rug. (I wonder how many of the seniors with COVID-19 were given flu shots late last year?) The asthma link is new to me but it makes sense.
So sad to see a senior who is reasonably well for their age and mentally alert, break something, get put in assisted living, and then watch them degrade over the course of a year to a year and a half. They get to the point of not knowing where they are and unable to speak. I see it far too often. One med after the other is added to their list. They certainly are not fed well either. Then add all the vaccines and you have the perfect storm the leads to their death. They may be aged, but they do not need to die the way they do.

Welcome. Agree, but most people live to eat not eat to live and don't like to change.
Everyone in an old folks home or under regular care you can rest assured

It's disgusting, we could do so much better.
