Note my father bought a new car the next day but no one would drive with him so it had very few miles before his grandson got it.

No conspiracy. Getting old is not for the young. Nothing is easy or good about it.

Not my dad but actually my FIL. I know him well so he's not a klutz or anything remotely fragile, suffering from old age effects, etc.

Well, I just want to avoid the elephant in the room and not blame it on those Covid shots, so I'm asking for anecdotes. However, yes, it could still very well be old age and how it can rapidly hit a person no matter how strong the person was previously.
