After a scramble in the early days to get COVID-19 vaccine, demand for vaccinations has fallen sharply in recent months and a White House goal of getting 70% of adults vaccinated by July 4 has fallen with it. Arizona is one of 31 states to fall short of that target.

Okay you got the vaccination, great. What about vulnerable people with compromised immune systems not strong enough to fight of delta variant? What if the vaccination, which is actually not a vaccination but rather an experimental mRNA therapy that didn’t pass the normal course of animal tests successfully. You’re the animal being tested at your own liability. Look at what Brazil’s “Sus” Convaxin, based on NEWBORN CALF SYRUM is doing to India, look at how the vaccination rates correlate with the outbreak of delta. Aren’t there news articles documenting from March how whistleblowers called out Bharat Biotech’s production methods as unsafe and not able to ensure live virus isn’t in the final product?
What happens if delta+ or lambda or gamma aren’t blocked, or the virus continues to undergo “rapid spontaneous mutation” at rate faster than vaccination development and testing and distribution can manage as it has been? What then?
I hate to break it to you, but Biden is Trump II or Cheney IV depending on how you look at things. He doesn’t represent the United States, he represents some conspiracy against us all because he’s their puppet and everyone can see the emperor still wears no clothes and now he’s trying to kill us all.
