Let’s be crystal clear about this. There’s nothing glamorous about what happened to Oliver Taylor Hawkins. He’s a 50-year-old man with three kids who died in a hotel room a long, long way from home.
Before Covid, I was working on a book about drugs and the brilliance of the drug legalization lobby, which has through a series of long-repeated half-truths and outright lies managed to redefine not just our norms but our very vocabulary around drug use. The legalizers are patient and well-funded and they are winning.
I hope one day I’ll have the chance to come back to it.
I used to be libertarian on recreational drug use until my state started allowing just that. You can have small amounts of heroin, meth, fentanyl, (you name it), and not be prosecuted. So what happened? Thousands of people are now living in tents with free food and other subsidies while they slowly kill themselves with their addictions. That's what happened.
Now I'm for enforcing the law against loitering, camping in unauthorized areas, and any kind of drug possession. Rehab, mental health treatment, or jail should be the only choices.
Taylor Hawkins did not OD. C'mon this is not our first rodeo. What other injected product was he recently using? What happened to the manager of the Foo Fighters shortly after they implemented their vaccine mandate for concerts? Yeah. Try to keep up.
It’s very, very sad- but why does a 1 liner towards the end of the first NY Post story say staff said he’d complained of chest pains the day before? Or maybe there’s no connection.
I hope someone does a toxicology report -- not that we'd ever hear about it.... Very quick/eager to report the drug cache. FF were very outspoken pro-C19vaxxers. Their band manager also died in Jun '21. Have they outright said it was an OD?
Yes, the autopsy shows he died of a heroin overdose, but that was not the only contributing factor. He was reported to have complained about chest pain prior to his death. My strong suspicion is he developed myocarditis post-injection, and that is what ultimately led to his death, with a little help from his friends.
This is a tragedy. Another artist taken too soon, in the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Curt Cobain, Andrew Love, Chis Cornell, and Whitney Houston, to name but a few. The fact that the Foo Fighters were very pro-jab puts another slant to this. Hawkins complained of chest pains, like Shane Warne and countless young jabbed athletes. Or was it the Fine Colombian? Or the butler in the library with the candlestick? The drug hypothesis was trotted out way too soon, without a tox report, as Loving Mom said.
They had a gig, Taylor said that he never partied on show days as he couidnt perform. He wouldnt die from a drug binge on day of a show. He was a professional.
I hope Alex can get back to and eventually publish his book on drugs. I read "Tell Your Children" awhile back before I read "Pandemia." I'm just-about-senior age, and years ago married my college sweetheart who was a many-joints-a-day pot smoker. Of course, I thought he would grow out of it. As he had generous parents, he didn't work and was always stoned. His refusal to stop or even cut down caused me to leave, and raise our three children on my own with little to no help. To this day, most relatives think I was wrong to leave for this reason: "it's just pot, it's not harmful" but we lived in a dangerous and abusive environment. "Tell Your Children" validated, at least to me, that my observations about heavy pot use and its affects were real. Thank you Alex, and yes, I will tell my children.
They sure are rushing fast to blame drugs on this one. Aren't they supposed to deny that it was drugs for a year, claim they can't say anything until lengthy tests are conducted and then quietly roll it out? They really, really want this one to be drugs.
I’ve been watching a dear one slowly killing himself on this shit the last 10 years. It’s a pretty awful way to live, from what I see. Destroys. Anytime I get a phone call I worry it’s his end. If depopulation is an agenda, this is part of the strategy.
It's more likely that it was the bloody vaccine. A trend here with "famous" people around 50 dying "unexpectedly". (Never heard of this guy.) I am near Australia where Shane Warne died and a day or so a 50 year old female senator from the Labor party. He was definitely vaccinated becauses the band was en route to AU and NZ where as Mr. Jokovic demonstrated, no entry without vaccine. It could be synergistic where some drugs like cocaine are hard on the vascular system. And then throw in a good dose of spike protein........
Interesting how the media and Berenson immediately jump to conclusions about drug use but when it comes to vaccine side effects its all about being an ostrich.
I am retired law enforcement of a major metropolitan department in California. I worked in the field for 35 years. The more you legalize drugs, the more our values disappear. A society needs values. I saw that everyday of my career. We need rules. We need limits. You may be a Libertarian, but you do like going out from your home knowing that you, and your family, are safe. It is as simple as that. BTW, Alex Berenson wrote a book about marijuana that I read- it is excellent, and every parent should get it.
Come on, Alex. Love you man, but nothing is known yet. But to the point - what are you suggesting? That we expand the war on drugs? Criminalizing drugs doesn't work, and won't stop them. It never will. It will just put more innocent people in jail and foster organized crime. Take a look at Portugal. Legalize it all and help with treatment programs. The pro-government drug war is not a good look for you.
Not buying it. Got it from a reliable source that he went to the lobby to ask someone to call an ambulance because he was having chest pains. If you’re on a bender you don’t fo that. He had been sober for years and now he has his family with him in this trip and he decides to start doing drugs? Not buying it. The whole band is vaxced. They required it at their shows. They all got the Rona post vaxc. Think about it. They’d rather have the memory of him being a drug addict than to cop to the truth that the vaxc killed him. We’ll never know the real story.
It's one of the major issues that keep me from being big L libertarian. As a critical care nurse I can't get on board with hard drugs. I've seen too many bodies destroyed. Yeah, I get it. Cigarettes and alcohol as bad and still legal. I can have a glass of wine at dinner and move on with my life. Heroin, not so much.
Alex only approves of medically prescribed drugs. Yes, it was the jabs. A man abusing heroin doesn't look like Hawkins - physically or mentally. He was complaining of chest pains when the ambulance was called. They are all fully jabbed and require their concert goers to be as well.
The only thing I approve of within China is their treatment of in-country drug dealers. They execute them. As for the drugs dealers who wish to bring harm to their greatest democratic enemy, America, the CCP supplies as much fentanyl as their Triads/Intelligence fronts can sell to the Cartels and Triads based in Mexico. China well rememberers what the Opium Trade did to China. They now visit the same upon the West. Tax revenues once obtained form Manufacturing Operations have dried up in many States as a consequence of outsourcing. So the same fools who exported our jobs now need new revenue streams to tax--so here come all the rationalizations for legalizing the same drugs that ravaged the country in the 1960's and 70's. Marijuana is but a gateway drug to drugs which cause far more misery still. Stop the madness and vote the spineless out!
From lawyer Jeff Childers’ Coffee and Covid Substack:
💉 Yesterday I reported on the untimely, sudden and unexpected death of 50-year-old Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins, which is now creating controversy. Also yesterday, following a preliminary autopsy, Columbia’s attorney general issued a statement claiming that no fewer than TEN psychoactive and recreational drugs were found in Hawkins’ system, including pot, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, LSD, cocaine, heroin, and opoids. Basically the entire list. According to Columbian officials, he was a walking pharmacy.
So, for a brief moment, it looked like just another sad stereotypical “rock star overdoses on drugs” story.
But some facts didn’t seem to fit the overdose narrative, and now there’s a controversy brewing. First, the Columbians didn’t release a cause of death, despite finding all those drugs. Next, Columbian newspaper Semana reported that the autopsy also revealed Hawkins’ heart was enlarged, weighing over 600 grams, twice the weight of an average adult male’s heart. According to Semana, local officials said the drummer’s enlarged heart must have played some part in his death.
Next, the Daily Mail reported that witnesses at his hotel said Hawkins called the front desk for help due to “chest pain” before being found dead in his room when help arrived. The fact that father-of-three Hawkins called the desk and communicated intelligently about his condition, asked clearly for medical assistance, lucidly described concerns related to his heart — not issues typically related to overdosing, has generated some skepticism in the developing official story.
Next, a compelling recent interview video shows Hawkins discussing his health, his kids, the demands of touring, and saying he lives a normal, boring, healthy lifestyle. He said he doesn’t go to parties and his family doesn’t “live that kind of Hollywood rockstar life.” He says he doesn’t hang out with actors, is an avid cycler, and admits if he could just quit smoking he would be “the picture of health.”
Finally, alert readers pointed out this is the second sudden, unexpected tragedy for the band in under a year. Last June, the Foo Fighter’s stage manager, Andrew Pollard, also died suddenly and unexpectedly. The 45-year-old father of two young children, Arlo and Ren, was — ironically — also found dead in his hotel room after retiring for the night. Pollard’s death came just a few weeks after the band began requiring proof of vaccination for fans to attend its concerts.
Being in the Foo Fighters — a band that has been stable for over 20 years — is starting to look like it might be bad for your health, for some reason. Or possibly like a real-life game of Clue. Did they check whether Mrs. Green was in the Library with the Candlestick?
I work health care in a typical rust belt declining industrial city. We have a "marginalized" population in our inner city. We no longer even say anything if our mom's -to -be smoke marijuana all pregnancy long--just harder stuff. CPS cannot do more. And are we under-employed and over-serviced with no savings, a 63% graduation rate from our local (well-funded high school). Yes. Single moms are the norm and people don't make their appointments at the health center --and we send a cab for 75% of them! Yet now we tell everyone that smoking weed all day long is legal. What a great plan to make you weak, shiftless, without drive and ambition to do better for you and your children, with no consequences for all my "father of baby" men as they ae called on the health form. This has been our culminating plan since the mid 60's
Can't have Hero Dave Grohl's Vax mandate get slimed by a death of his bandmate of the last 28 yrs. We must always trust Dave Grohl and his edicts were righteous and the vax was not involved in this death. We'll never really know unless there's an actual autopsy with public findings.
There are many potential health maladies that are hard to diagnose especially if the patient is not experiencing difficult symptoms or is just stubborn about seeing a doc who conveys opinions of hypochondria because the doc cannot easily figure out the diagnosis. These health issues, autoimmune, lymphoma, myeloma, etc… are complicated to track down… but would be more deadly with recreational drugs and COVID jabs.
I have one of theses and I had to tell my doc I am taking charge to tell him what tests I need done… and I was right. He called me to tell me and apologized for doubting me when the tests came back positive. Expensive tests by the way. Because of my diagnosis I can ingest no recreational drugs, no cigars and very little alcohol. No more COVID jabs. My heart is fine so far, but can be damaged by my disease.
The point I am making here is that there is likely more to diagnose to explain his death at such a young age… that we will never know because those tests cannot be done now. The explanations will be the simple and media-stupid.
I took my family to see a Foo Fighters concert last year. We are all heartbroken over Taylor’s death.
News.com.au. Taylor Hawkins suffered chest pains in hotel room in Columbia, medical emergency. A bit suspect that People magazine is already reporting results of toxicology..a little too quick…
Not able to confirm this yet but a lot of noise on Twitter that Hawkins was coerced by Grohl to take jab. Hawkins was a supporter in past around vax injuries/advocacy. If this was true it seems surprising he would want to be jabbed. Very sad RIP
That's what life without God looks like...no purpose, self absorption, no service to others...break up of families... infidelity, sex without love...we are reaping the whirlwind...take the St Benedict option with other like minded people and live in Christian community...before you and your children are destroyed
Way too early Steve. Way way too early. Taylor has had issues but been sober for 20+ years so give him some respect. This is why I don’t pay for you anymore.
It’s sad when anyone dies of drug use. Being an addict isn’t a choice, but using is. He chose, end of story. I had a friend who died skydiving, choice. I had another who had a passion for fast cars, dead. Another smoking, dead. You either believe in personal liberties, even those that might be addictive or dangerous, or you’re for limited liberty. Some feel walking alone down the street without a mask is risky and dangerous, but it’s their right. Right Alex?
Some very dumb comments here. The police in Colombia have no stake in this. Rock stars go on the road and they go from city to city where they spend two hours playing to thousands and then 22 hours in hotels or on the road with mind numbing boredom so they take drugs and drink. I suppose Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Prince, Jim Morrison and on and on died from the vaccine too. It’s happens all the time. Stop with the idiotic conspiracy theories. This one doesn’t fly.
He had 3 kids it would seem it would have been time to kick the addictions and leave them behind. If not for himself then for his kids. No judgement but very sad. He survived a heroin od some years ago.

Is this the same foo Fighters that said we need to do the right thing and get vaxxed to take care of people's health and can't go to their shows unless you're vaxxed. Those Foo Fighters? They wouldn't do drugs, would they?
The same people on this thread touting lock up drug dealers and expand the war on drugs are the same ones who claim they believe in self sovereignty individual rights when it comes to the jab. What an adult decides to put in their own body is their own choice and right to do so. Be principled
I'm a fan of the band and liked Dave Grohl's book The Storyteller. I'm saddened by this. I have no idea what all of the factors were potentially contributing to Taylor Hawkins death and don't necessarily accept any initial reports at face value. But I do know this: My brother in law did a lot of coke in the eighties and nineties and has very, very serious heart damage to show for it now, even though he's been clean for years. (And he's not vaxxed either.)
I think it's the height of irony that we so often hear the loudest cries for egalization from the same folks who are so fearful of putting FDA approved drugs in their bodes. I recall seeing pts who were drug addicts and had tried just about every illegal drug on the street but refused to take their cholesterol or BP meds because of possible side effects. Marijuana's negative effect on the brains of young people (my son being one) are so dangerous precisely because the acute effects are relatively rare and mild.
I used to be libertarian on recreational drug use until my state started allowing just that. You can have small amounts of heroin, meth, fentanyl, (you name it), and not be prosecuted. So what happened? Thousands of people are now living in tents with free food and other subsidies while they slowly kill themselves with their addictions. That's what happened.
Now I'm for enforcing the law against loitering, camping in unauthorized areas, and any kind of drug possession. Rehab, mental health treatment, or jail should be the only choices.
It was 7 days after his booster. Sure blame the drugs 💉 😵
Taylor Hawkins did not OD. C'mon this is not our first rodeo. What other injected product was he recently using? What happened to the manager of the Foo Fighters shortly after they implemented their vaccine mandate for concerts? Yeah. Try to keep up.
If Hawkins died of a drug overdose, then I have an island in the Caribbean to sell you.
It’s very, very sad- but why does a 1 liner towards the end of the first NY Post story say staff said he’d complained of chest pains the day before? Or maybe there’s no connection.

“Forensic doctors were shocked by the size of the drummer's heart: it weighed at least 600 grams.” (https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/tp50ln/autopsy_report_oliver_taylor_hawkins_died_of/)
Yes, the autopsy shows he died of a heroin overdose, but that was not the only contributing factor. He was reported to have complained about chest pain prior to his death. My strong suspicion is he developed myocarditis post-injection, and that is what ultimately led to his death, with a little help from his friends.
Coked up and boosted, what could go wrong?
So you're going with the official narrative?
Fascinating
This is a tragedy. Another artist taken too soon, in the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Curt Cobain, Andrew Love, Chis Cornell, and Whitney Houston, to name but a few. The fact that the Foo Fighters were very pro-jab puts another slant to this. Hawkins complained of chest pains, like Shane Warne and countless young jabbed athletes. Or was it the Fine Colombian? Or the butler in the library with the candlestick? The drug hypothesis was trotted out way too soon, without a tox report, as Loving Mom said.
I don't believe it...they're trying to cover up another jab death.
They had a gig, Taylor said that he never partied on show days as he couidnt perform. He wouldnt die from a drug binge on day of a show. He was a professional.
JFC. Is Alex on glue?? They didn’t call them the FOO PFIZERS for nothing!! The drug bs is a COVER!!!
911 was called because he was suffering “chest pains” before he died.🤔
I hope Alex can get back to and eventually publish his book on drugs. I read "Tell Your Children" awhile back before I read "Pandemia." I'm just-about-senior age, and years ago married my college sweetheart who was a many-joints-a-day pot smoker. Of course, I thought he would grow out of it.

It’s just to cover why he really died. (shot which Dave Grohl talked him into) I don’t believe it. I believe he was sober.
I’ve been watching a dear one slowly killing himself on this shit the last 10 years. It’s a pretty awful way to live, from what I see. Destroys. Anytime I get a phone call I worry it’s his end. If depopulation is an agenda, this is part of the strategy.

What does “drug cache” mean? I know someone who was accused of having an “arsenal of guns” who had maybe three.
My husband deals with chronic illness and pain. He has what many would call a “drug cache”.
RIP Taylor Hawkins, regardless of drugs, vaxx, or other.
Come on, Alex. Love you man, but nothing is known yet. But to the point - what are you suggesting? That we expand the war on drugs? Criminalizing drugs doesn't work, and won't stop them. It never will. It will just put more innocent people in jail and foster organized crime. Take a look at Portugal. Legalize it all and help with treatment programs. The pro-government drug war is not a good look for you.
My jury is out and the reporting on his death doesn't add up.
I think they're lying because they didn't get him the medical attention he needed fast enough and his thrice jabbed enlarged heart gave out.
The balls this sack of shit had to ban unvaxxed people from his concerts last year, all the while doing hardcore drugs… Narcissistic coward.
Isn't it possible it was the jab?. Just finding a cache does not mean that was the direct link unless tox reports are performed.
Not buying it. Got it from a reliable source that he went to the lobby to ask someone to call an ambulance because he was having chest pains. If you’re on a bender you don’t fo that. He had been sober for years and now he has his family with him in this trip and he decides to start doing drugs? Not buying it. The whole band is vaxced. They required it at their shows.

True. But what was the drug that killed him. Does it start with “mRNA?”

Are you certain its drug overdose and not the jabs? There is a lot of mystery around celebrity deaths and injuries now.

I think it's the height of irony that we so often hear the loudest cries for egalization from the same folks who are so fearful of putting FDA approved drugs in their bodes. I recall seeing pts who were drug addicts and had tried just about every illegal drug on the street but refused to take their cholesterol or BP meds because of possible side effects. Marijuana's negative effect on the brains of young people (my son being one) are so dangerous precisely because the acute effects are relatively rare and mild.
Vaxxed, boosted, and died of heart attack.
