So he and his wife BOTH got Safe and Effective disease.
So it would seem. I don't normally look at local stuff, but my older sister texted me wondering why that if he had cancer, why did he run for re-election recently? Being Dems, they've certainly had all their shots and boosters, maybe it's one of those turbo-cancers they're talking about now. My only experience with the Safe and Effective "cure" has been death and early- onset dementia. I think I only know four people extant that have had the killshots. Two of them have advanced dementia in their early 60s. My mother was nearly 90 when she succumbed to dementia in 2014. This is not normal. |
