My best friend died last week from a heart attack at age 37. That’s two young friends I’ve lost to heart issues this year. Both were vaccinated. Must be climate change.
That damned Climate Change keeps killing people for no good reason.
If only we could turn off all the food and energy production, no-one would ever need to die again.
Sincerely,
Your friend Klaus.
