What a F’en loss and what a F’en crime. I submit to you that most of these nurses were forced into taking the Jab to remain employed. Even though they were medical professionals I submit that there WAS NO INFORMED CONSENT. Thus I hope lawsuits ensue…which is little comfort to the survivors BUT it can go a long way in preventing future evil acts. Pax
People love to say, "Correlation does not equal causation." so much bullshit. "They learned a baby girl would join them in November. Tragically their anticipation turned to heartbreak on July 28, 2023, when Lily Rae at 25 weeks was delivered without a heartbeat. The following month began a yearlong battle for them as Kelsey was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. " Age:--29!! There's some DIRECT causation, in my view.
