Let's not forget that many of these were not male adults, and also (for some of them) weren't backed up by armed compatriates.

The forms to be filled in, the hoops she had to jump, the criteria she need to fit into, she gave up.
She applied again and is now giving the vaccinations.

It's a form (no pun intended) of godel's axiom of incompleteness.

The poor man may have an embarrassing health problem that he doesn't want to share, or you never know, he may just have a minor problem and is teasing those who hope he dies!
I wish him well and hope that he and the queen can get some privacy when he is hopefully released from hospital!
I thought the same Twink.
Maybe even prostate or 'man's problems.'
Why should he have to tell the world. Whatever he said would be picked apart and distorted anyway.
