Fitness influencer dies after COVID-19 vaccinations
October 23, 2023
Fitness influencer Joe Lindner, who goes by the pseudonym “Joesthetics, revealed in a June 8, 2023, podcast interview with Bradley Martyn that he received four COVID-19 vaccine injections. He explained in the interview that after his vaccinations, he went to his doctor for blood tests, and a nurse taking his blood discovered a strange white globule in his blood. His doctor then found other unusual dark particles in his blood. He learned that such blood anomalies are symptoms of blood contamination caused by the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. He immediately had his blood cleaned twice through plasmapheresis. Apparently, the plasmapheresis did not work because, within a month of the interview, Joe Lindner died from an aneurysm on July 1, 2023. He was 30 years old. There has been a virtual blackout about the COVID-19 vaccines causing Lindner’s death. It is not even discussed in the media outlets. A video on YouTube recounting his life concluded that his death from the aneurysm was not from steroids. But the video did not opine on what could be the cause. The video went into great detail about Linder’s medical treatments and steroid use. Notably, the video made no mention that Lindner got four COVID-19 vaccines or that he discovered strange anomalies in his blood after he was vaccinated.

Hong Kong celebrity actress and Chinese Communist Party “vaccine ambassador” Kathy Chow [57] has died suddenly of cardiac arrest. Chow’s medical records were leaked to the press during following her death by a whistleblower determined to reveal the truth behind the celebrity’s unexpected death. Chinese police then arrested the 36-year-old man responsible for leaking the cause of her death to the public. Chow’s sudden death of heart failure and the arrest of the whistleblower who leaked her medical records to the press has sparked speculation in China that the CCP are attempting covering their tracks. The Chinese search engine Baidu also removed the record of Chow receiving Covid vaccines in Beijing from her biography.
Chow is the latest in a long line of celebrities and influencers to die suddenly after promoting the Covid vaccine on behalf of governments and Big Pharma during the pandemic.

Hundreds of these young and healthy YouTube influencers have been diagnosed with cancer now – and many of them have admitted they are suffering from rare and aggressive turbo cancers. An ethical mainstream media would be highlighting these deaths on the front-pages, pulling out all the stops to investigate exactly what was going on.
