Most deaths are vaccinated. Hmmm

This is what happens when Terrorists like the Biden Terrorist Regime experiment of unwilling Americans proving we are no longer free. We are prisoners of Terrorists. The Biden Regime use of the FBI to silence us is all the proof needed...

I performed CPR on an 83 year old who collapsed while shoveling snow. Unfortunately, he passed. The paramedic found he’d had Covid two months previous. W/O an autopsy it was declared a Covid death. The data is skewed folks.😉

THIS CAN'T BE TRUE OR BIDEN WOULD NOT LET TITLE 42 END! RIGHT? HE WOULD BE ADDING MORE FUEL TO A ENDLESS FIRE! HE WOULDN'T DO THAT TO THE AMERICAN CITIZENS! RIGHT?

So close to accurate. Just left out the word vaccine.

They should have taken the new covid drugs Myhartsxplodin and Dydesuddenli
