It’s devastating how many young lives have been lost to heart attacks associated with Covid infection. How is this happening why is the media silent? It’s heartbreaking. With continued endless covid reinfections this will only get worse. Media should be screaming this to warn ppl

With the industry he was in most likely he was fully vaccinated+boosted. Another case of SADS afflicting a young man. I'm sure doctors will be baffled while Big Pharma execs count their money all the way to the bank. Wake up, folks. It's not a coincidence. Speak up while you can.

ABC forced the vax on healthy young men. Not saying he died from the shot but it’s a good possibly.

Yah but don’t question it!!!
You can ask up the Wazoo if someone’s been vaccinated to exclude them close from events but God forbid you ask if they got vaccinated when they die lol.— Lisa Colaw (@ColawLisa) December 25, 2022
