This virus has apparently killed so many people, we all know someone who has died from covid, we all lost count of all the family members, friends, neighbors, school friends, work colleagues of all ages who passed away from covid over the past 20 months, the phone never stopped ringing with bad news over the pass 2 years, haven’t our local communities just been devastated over the covid deaths, aren’t we just tripping over the dead bodies in the streets on the way to the supermarkets, which have been one of the few businesses permitted to operate throughout all the lockdown and whose staff for some reason haven’t been dropping like flies. Ummm yea I don’t know anyone who’s died from covid either

  So consider yourself lucky. At least so far.
  I’ve lost two cousins and an Aunt, all died of Covid.
  So your “sarcasm”, particularly in the Christmas season, is simply cruel. And a shame.

And don’t forget that a lot that died from COVID, their families refused to believe it. I know of a family in Sea Cows Bay, the mother, brother and sister died from COVID.

A lot of people is taking this as a joke and is in denial. Their only defense is the vaccinated is getting COVID. Yes, we the vaccinated knows that we can still get COVID. However, if you get it, the symptoms and suffering will not be as severe as the ones that is not vaccinated. I’m taking the booster while it is available.

Too many people are totally mentally trapped in the Matrix known as Babylon System. It's gotten to the point where we actually don't realize that the stuff we do is absolute nonsense. Bob Marley said it best " many more will have to suffer many more will have to die don't ask me why." It's gotten to the point where we can't even try to resist the madness as we will be attacked by the living dead. This world has become one hell of a Frankenstein nightmare. It's a real Zombie Apocalypse. Another Bob Marley quote " Man to man is so unjust you don't know who to trust." If this gets published I know what the feedback is going to be but that won't stop the beast. The only thing that will is to stop giving your power. We have to reconnect with our spiritual powers and that is mental.This is why the Matrix was created so that we will remain trapped and disconnected from nature. The truth and nature are the only way out.

What i observed here is that a lot of bloggers here are unvaccinated. If you do not want to be vaccinated please do not discourage others from taking it to save their lives.
