I was saddened to hear the news that Rev. Bryan Dunagan, who served as Highland Park Presbyterian Church’s senior pastor for nine years, has died at 44. Reverend Dunagan was a brilliant, graceful, luminous young man. By numerous accounts he was exceptionally fit and a dedicated practitioner of clean living in body and soul. I therefore found the official press announcement that he “passed away in his sleep due to natural causes" rather puzzling. Prior to the year 2021, the sudden and unexpected death of a fit young man was an extreme rarity. Since then, it has become a shockingly common occurrence.
One of my closest friends in Dallas is a prominent cardiologist who has questioned official orthodoxy about medical matters since 2020. I cannot mention his name on Facebook because doing so would result in the automatic shadow banning of this post. In my friend's practice, he now regularly sees young, athletic men who have been afflicted with myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart, after receiving a product that was widely introduced to mankind in 2021.
He also frequently receives reports of adolescents and young men and women suddenly and expectedly dying in their sleep. Though autopsy is rarely performed in these cases -- apparently because medical examiners don't want to know the cause -- when autopsies are performed, they often reveal inflammation and or scarring from previous inflammation. At around 3:00 a.m., rising adrenaline sets in motion a fatal arrhythmia.
Obviously, I do NOT know if this was the case with Reverend Dunagan, and nor do I even know if he received the novel product in question. My suspicion that this could be the case can only be confirmed or ruled out by means of a thorough postmortem examination by a pathologist who has been trained to recognize the syndrome that is sometimes induced by this product. New histological stains are now available that enable the pathologist to detect the foreign protein that causes this inflammation in cardiovascular tissue.
My cardiologist friend, who attended service at HPPC for many years, is probably now the world's foremost authority on this syndrome. He would be happy to discuss this syndrome with members of the congregation who would like to learn more about it and consider measures that COULD help to prevent more young men and women from dying.
Last night I woke up at 3:00 a.m. with an Emily Dickinson poem running through my head.
Silence is all we dread.
There's Ransom in a Voice --But Silence is Infinity.
Himself have not a face.The poet conceived silence as not only death, but also an absent God who never speaks to us.
Surely the time has come for communities and medical examiners to stop being silent about the sudden and unexpected deaths of young people, but to speak openly about the need to INVESTIGATE them. Perhaps deaths such as Pastor Dunagan’s—over thirty years shy of life expectancy for an American man—are statistical anomalies and have nothing to do with the new product that was introduced in 2021. The only way to find out is to investigate them.’
