If you work for Boeing or know someone who does, now is the time for you (or them) to look for a new job. At the very least, update that resume (or help them update it)!

It pains me to think it but this advice could save someone's life.

While it is alarming and warrants investigation, MRSA kills thousands every year. It's incredibly lethal and almost exclusively occurs in hospital settings, somewhere between 50,000-100,000 cases any given year.

Again, they should investigate it. But it doesn't defy credulity.

Absolutely, the first death is certainly much more suspicious. Even with this strange coincidence of two whistleblower deaths, there is no certainty that either one was an assassination.

And I’m no expert, but giving somebody pneumonia (?) in the hopes that it or the chance of them getting MRSA in a hospital environment kills them seems like a pretty circuitous and unreliable way to do it.
