A message from Dan Kaminsky’s niece

The text of the image reads:

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my uncle, Daniel Kaminsky. While his passing was sudden and unexpected for us, Dan struggled for years with diabetes and was even recently hospitalized because of it.

This tragedy has nothing to do with the COVID-19 vaccination and unfortunately everything to do with diabetic ketoacidosis.

I think Dan would laugh at the idea of conspiracy theorists promoting anti-vax propaganda through his death, but as his family, it hurts us to see his death being used to spread lies about a vaccine that he had full faith in.

But like Dan always said to me, they're all just noise. So I am going to take his advice, ignore the trolls and respectfully ask the internet community to please give my family peace and privacy as we try to navigate a world without Daniel.

Thank you, Sarah

Unfortunately, such is the world today, if you are in the public eye and attempt to keep the cause of someone's passing under wraps this has to be expected.

A tragedy whichever way it's cut.
