The last two years have resulted in intense division among many different demographics of people across the country. The coronavirus lockdowns and mandates starkly separated many into two camps: pro-lockdown and vaccine mandate, and anti-lockdown and vaccine mandate. Doug Brignole, veteran bodybuilder, fitness expert, and author, posted a message on his Facebook in April 2021 that showed immense confidence in the vaccine to urge people to get vaccinated. Sadly, he died on October 13, and the cause of his death has yet to be released.
