great example, but what caused the pneumonia?

She is immune compromised (Rituximab) due to a chronic autoimmune disease and it puts her at higher risk of developing bacterial pneumonia. This same friend ended up hospitalized for 2 months as a result of going into acute kidney failure within a couple days of her first dose of Pfizer vaccine. Doctors at University of Washington said the vaccine was the cause of it.

I also thought she was immune compromised, it is possible that Covid caused her bacterial pneumonia and she did not clear Covid. Do not assume it is unrelated.

Gunshots and car crashes are mostly unrelated. Bacterial pneumonia in immune compromised person who is covid positive is possibly NOT unrelated to the covid she is having.

She had stopped taking her PCP medication (Bactrim) a few weeks before she developed the pneumonia.

It also could have been a false positive. The doctor I spoke to (I am in charge if her medical stuff) seemed to hint that he thought it may have been.

But yes your point is also a good one.

It could be anything, I agree
