And still not a single person arrested for creating the pandemic, profiting from it, lying about it and still covering everything up and denying anything bad happened. Where I live many people have told me that doctor's won't even acknowledge vaccine injury, despite the obvious. WTF.
No matter how much fame or fortune you have… your temple of health and vitality can quickly become a prison of pain and misery. All of these people will go to their graves without a clue as to who and what put them there. This is some FUBAR shit going down.
