Maren Walvik Johnsen (29) has died
June 18, 2023
Maren Walvik Johnsen discovered in 2021 that she had cervical cancer, and has shared openly about the disease. She died of the disease at the age of 29. NRK interviewed Maren in January 2022. She had recently had her first course of chemotherapy. “I didn't think it could be cancer. Many talked about menstrual changes after the vaccine, and it was easy to think that this would pass,” Maren said at the time. Before the shock message in 2021, she believed the menstrual changes she had came from the corona vaccine. Maren was determined to recover, but she was later told that the cancer had spread to her lymphatic system. The cancer was incurable.
The article continued with gaslighting about another jab:
Maren's cohorts were not offered the HPV vaccine at primary school. HPV is the most common cause of cervical cancer. Her age group, 1991-1996, was not offered until 2016-2019. By then it was already too late for many, because the vaccine only works before one gets an HPV infection. Maren did not receive the HPV vaccine until 2016. As she was already sexually active, it was too late, as she told on her Instagram profile. She previously said that if she had received the vaccine in 7th grade, she probably wouldn't have gotten cervical cancer.

Barcelona - For reasons that are being investigated, one of the workers of this call center suffered a sudden death. The rest of the staff immediately notified the management team to call the emergency phone and request an ambulance, but they did nothing until the employees' working day was over, forcing them to take calls with the corpse a few meters away from them. According to the same workers, the excuse they received from the company's managers was that they could not stop their work, since they are "an essential service". The unions have denounced the "lack of humanity, empathy and respect" of the managers, expressing their "disgust" towards this action, and have demanded to establish a certain protocol for these cases.

Regarding MP and former minister Mette Gjerskov from Denmark. Another article is much more dramatic and outspoken, telling about how her spleen had ruptured in Feb. 2022. Ekstra Bladet wrote:
'Last year, Mette Gjerskov's indomitability was put to the test by a severe course of illness and chronic pain.
- That afternoon the pain hit me in a second when I was sitting doing puzzles with my nieces. A very strong pain that hit me like a blow to my stomach, she told Ekstra Bladet a year ago about the day in February 2022 when it all came crashing down.
Chronic pain
Before that day, Mette Gjerskov had been examined for chronic pain and had taken leave from that Folketing and the political struggle that had filled her life.
And when the pain really hit, her life was in danger. She was rushed to hospital, where it was found that her spleen had ruptured.
- In Køge, they drained 4.7 liters of blood from my abdominal cavity. It was only because they had given me so much blood in Roskilde that I had anything left. It was a close call, she told Ekstra Bladet.'
