Covid-Vaxxed Children 4423% More Likely to Die Than Unvaxxed…
https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1810031935378370567
We have a global humanitarian crisis and the Western Heathcare system is still acting dumbfounded. Forgive me for not trusting an industry that is financially dependent on its customers being sick and indefinitely on medications derived from petrochemicals and synthetic gene altering substances. Disgusting!
Anyone who’s had even one Covid shot needs an EKG and troponin test. I know two Covid vaxxed within the past week diagnosed with “silent” heart attacks. One was having some arrhythmia when she got the news she’d had a heart attack and didn’t know it. And the other had zero symptoms at all. The only reason he knew was because he had an EKG. Imagine all the people who could have heart damage including myocardial infarction and don’t even know it.
