Have you read any of your posts? I suggest you review them before stating you are "not speculating about his cause of death, at all"

learn to read. I asked why he retired and disagreed with the AIDS speculation.

All right, moving forward you have to be registered to post in this thread as despite my warning we've already had a poster say it 100% was covid jab or AIDS.
Thank you for your work. LRC is almost back to where it was five years ago through diligent work.
Shocking that this news wouldn't be handled responsibly and thoughtfully here. Shocking, I say!

"Barber had fallen ill and had been experiencing poor health for some time."
From what? And why not reported until after his death?
Shawn was a really private guy who was not very active on social media. I don't think he kept in touch with many pole vaulters after he stopped competing.
Whatever health issues he was facing, he chose not to be public about them and at this time his family has chosen not to share any more information.
There is ZERO information available as to whether or not he was vaccinated. He did not compete after COVID started, so no one should be assuming anything based on him being an athlete.
Shawn was a really nice guy and his loss at such a young age is felt deeply by the pole vault community.493 -
His death is a tragedy. His cause of death is newsworthy. The press should be reporting on it strictly for that reason.

Do you think everyone in the press knows and is covering it up?
If you prefer news sources that fabricate information, they aren’t hard to find, but don’t be mad at real journalists for not making up a story.

Of course some people know. But a decision has been made, for whatever reason, to hide the alleged long term illness it is said he had and the cause of death.

But it isn’t anyone in the media making that choice, it appears that was Shawn’s choice and is currently the choice of the people close to him.
Grieving families don’t owe you a story.

Do you know for a fact that it's his family that has kept his illness and cause of death secret?

I'm confused as to what conspiracy theory you have concocted about this, maybe you should spell it out.

Does it not seem odd that a 29 year old world class athlete has died and nothing is being said about cause of death?
Is that observation a conspiracy theory for you? If so, you are confused

Disgusting that people are speculating about someone who just passed away. If he did pass from HIV/AIDS or the COVID vaccine, would you feel better about yourself or would you sympathy for the guy suddenly disappear? If so you are a trash human being. RIP to an incredibly talented athlete.
Agreed. People just love watching car crashes! I feel sorry for his family and friends.
You don't die of HIV or AIDS in the west these days, so I think it is ignorant to even mention such things. Can be totally controlled by medication with undetectable levels of the virus.
RIP Shawn Barber.
