Shush! Too bad you do not know me! I'm actually a peach! A virtual ray of sunshine!. I used to post my name. Until the nut jobs started phoning me, threatening me on the street. Who would have guessed a sweetheart like me could be so aggravating?
Word gets around and many of us know who is passing away, from what, with what.. Someone wanting a few more details doesn't change the grief we feel for those who we know, and are gone now.

One more victim of the clot-shot. Thanks to the PCR test that keeps churning out false positives, seniors who die soon after the clot-shot are categorized as 'covid death'. No trust left at all for the medical establishment when they won't even release relevant details about these deaths. Their claims of 'respecting privacy' are so phony. Other jurisdictions do provide those detailed statistics.

The odds are good but the goods are odd on Mar 2, 2022 at 6:07 pm
The same day it‘s announced the restrictions will be lifted? Give us all a break. The odds of these occurring on the same day are approximately 1 in 500,000. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m completely done with being played by the Village Elliott. She’s got a carrot in one hand and a billy club in the other. I choose neither.

“Out of respect for the individuals and their families, we will not be releasing any additional information,” The libs sure got this comment memorized. But, what they leave out is "Out of disdain for the people, we will not be releasing any additional information".

“Out of respect for the individuals and their families, we will not be releasing any additional information,” stated a news release." No one is asking for personal info. We are asking if they are vaxed or not. We need to be informed if you're going to claim the state of emergency..

I am terribly sorry for another death. Vaxxed? Unvaxxed? Sorry to the family.
This entire so called pandemic campaign has been so mismanaged, it's incredible that these shot callers can even tie their own shoes.
