JABBED……..
Yup. Sure to be. This is too sad. What have they done to us?
It’s no secret why we continue reading of all these “died suddenly” cardiac deaths but the governments and WHO authorities still refuse to acknowledge their crimes against humanity with the forced jab mandates! SHAME ON ALL OF THEM!
It is heinous. They are more than complicit. They forced people to have them, the coercion was so great, people could not work and pay their bills if they didn’t have them. They did it so they could keep a home for the children. Now more and more good people are dying suddenly. Others are having horrible blood related injuries. Funeral Directors are finding horrible things in the Deceased’s blood vessels. Those people involved with making and giving those injections knew, it was deliberate, they are murderers. We must lock them up.
So many people dying suddenly…anyone seen “Died Suddenly” btw?
Glad I never put any of that sh*t in my veins – and I NEVER will.
