    Its very strange that since the plandemic the health ministries in goverments has been publishing all sorts of data about covid-19 deaths and especially highlighting unvaccinated deaths. Since the vaccine roll out there has been a large increase of deaths especially those who have taken the shot and you have not heard a word from the health ministries or governments. All over the world there has been many who have taken the shot just dieing suddenly from cardiac arrest and no one has raised an alarm. It now seems to show what Gravitas News had said is really true about pharmaceutical companies keeping governments silent about any adverse event from the wicked shot that they forced upon there citizens. Stop hiding the truth.Where is the data for how many have taken the shot and out of that quantity how many has passed away and what was the cause. Was it part of the side effects?

    The woman was 85 years old, for heaven's sake. She lived a full and happy life, plus 15 years added. Stop with the nonsense about Covid19 and vaccine. All of us are appointed to die once in this lifetime, and we all will.
