Michael Sharpe’s Death

There has been considerable debate as to the cause of death of popular broadcaster Michael Sharpe who appeared to be in good health, yet he died after taking the vaccine to fight the COVID 19 pandemic. We have no evidence that there is any connection.

Chief Medical Officer (CMO)

The CMO has disclosed that with the permission of Michael Sharpe’s family, she can disclose that the media personality had an existing heart condition prior to taking the vaccine.

Autopsy

An autopsy will be undertaken to ascertain the real cause of death.  This is not an unusual exercise. Heart ailment is considered one of the pre-existing medical conditions that is attacked by the pandemic.

Controversy

There has been much debate on social media as to the  true cause of Sharpe’s death.  The top health official has ruled out the Ascazenica vaccine as a possible cause.  For anyone to speculate is risky. May even be irresponsible and dangerous. Such vulgar adventure can only cause further grief to loved ones, ex co-workers and friends alike.  We are all grieving his loss after a short stay in hospital.  We also understand that he was experiencing breathing difficulties.

Respiratory Distress

It is a well reported fact that COVID is a respiratory disease or it affects the respiratory system.  Being not a medical person I will not go outside my area of competence and hazard a guess.  We are all mourning and wild speculation will not help at this time.

The Michael Sharpe that I knew would not want his death to be a cas cas affair.  He was a dignified man.  Let us remember him as thus.  None of us are expected to live forever. We would have wanted him to be around much longer, but our loving Saviour knows best.  Let us not frown on God’s works.

Naomi Francis

She said inter alia:

” I recalled as a young journalists with no media experience fresh out of school,  Sharpe mentored me and taught me a lot of the things which have helped with my growth in the media.  He always said ‘Kill them with good stories’ .”

She was fighting back tears as she spoke.

 “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh, blessed be the name of the Lord.”

We wish our sincerest condolence to his loved ones and all who cared for and supported Michael Sharpe, especially during his illness. May his Soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine eternally on him.
