      Simpson was a stone-hard alcoholic whose liver and kidneys could not take it anymore. He drank his alcohol from sun up to sunset. No surprise here. He was not a nice person, but only nice to his partners (PARTNA as he called them} in crime. Sorry, but not sorry for him.

              He was a Jamaican,typical of too many Jamaicans lending shame scorn and every degrading ugliness to another country whether in or out of prison,their favourite freeloading spot. Not a day go by that they are not being deported from somewhere on Planet Earth or zapped like mosquitos. A set of real fr..g like snakes.

        Even if he drunk alot, he was still a kind person to me and other people. Everyone has difficulties and issues, and you are not an exception. No matter if your accusations or correct or not, this show the evil in your heart, which seems worse than what you say about him. It's repulsive/disgusting that you came on here and made the decision to trash his name as if he had committed a crime. It's not necessary for you to feel sorry for him, but it is impolite and wicked of you to do so here. You will give an account to God one day, along with the people who liked your comment, and you will reap what you sow. This proves he was correct to remove/distance himself from you & those who liked your comment.

      You know when a rat keeps eating your grain and food and you can't catch him? Then one day you set a rat trap and finally hear the snap of the rat in the trap and you see he finally got caught. That feeling is wonderful. Well, this is the same feeling I have right now. I don't care what you say, he did a lot of dirt to me, so take that!

    It's the New normal. Everyone who took the mRNA biotech weapon vaccine will drop down and dead. It's just that simple. The doctors will say whatever they are told to tell you. Hospital is full of sick Vaccinated people whos frighten for their Life. You all should have wanted. Those kids getting the hard and foot bumps it from all the Vaccinated children because I know parents who never Vaccinate their kids with the other child hood Vaccines because it's the same Mark of the beast Vaccine,and they was in the same class and they don't have the rash and that's all that's pur blood. The childhood Vaccine is just like covid because everyone must be in the beast system.vaccinated Parents wake up stop putting substance into your kids body you don't know what is in it. The doctors don't even know because they wouldn't have taken it

      •5,700 mcg aluminum (neurotoxin)
      •Unknown amounts of fetal bovine serum(aborted cow blood)

      •500 mcg human albumin (human blood)
      •760 mcg of monosodium L-glutamate (causes obesity & diabetes)
      •Unknown amounts of MRC-5 cells (aborted human babies)
      •Over 10 mcg neomycin (antibiotic)
      •Over 0.075 mcg polymyxin B (antibiotic)

        FACT CHECK -
        •17,500 mcg 2-phenoxyethanol (antifreeze)
        [not antifreeze, antifreeze is ethylene glycol. This is used as a preservative for the vaccine, and the worst it can do is cause a rash at the injection site if you’re allergic to it]
        •5,700 mcg aluminum (neurotoxin)
        [An average adult in the United States eats about 7–9 mg of aluminum per day in their food. Antacids have 300–600 mg aluminum hydroxide (approximately 104– 208 mg of aluminum) per tablet. 5700mcg (5.7mg) of aluminum would certainly be filtered by the liver before it could even get to the brain.]
        •Unknown amounts of fetal bovine serum(aborted cow blood)
        [this is used as a growth media for the vaccine and like most of the things on this list, is removed before the vaccine is packaged- only trace amounts may be present in a vaccine. Also before using it as a growth media, they test to make sure it is sterilized through processes such as heat treatment.]
        •801.6 mcg formaldehyde (carcinogen, embalming agent)
        [Although long term formaldehyde exposure can be harmful (I probably have some increased cancer risk because of my time breathing in all the fumes in anatomy lab), at this residual concentration it is completely safe. In fact, we have much more formaldehyde than this generated in our bodies naturally. This endogenous formaldehyde is shunted into what’s called the one-carbon cycle, which helps with folate metabolism, and therefore, DNA synthesis.]
        •23,250 mcg gelatin (ground up animal carcass)
        [used to make gelatin and also soup broths - nothing unusual here]

    These vaccines are now working and causing much pain.
    The hospital don’t have beds to admit the sick. Not even those from the sister islands.
    Ayo wake but ayo pretending ayo sleeping.

      @Dr who. Do you have to be a doctor to have common sense to see that Tortola was having deaths by guns before the vaccine came here. When the vaccine came all in a sudden dropping down dead is normal. Is it me or the vaccinated people worship the beast 100% even when they see all these deaths that never used to happen they worship the shot. That's exactly what the scripted bible talks about. Beast worshippers because the island is over 60 percent fully vaccinated sheeps

    Our diet here in the BVI for a lot of people is terrible. Too much starches and sugars including a high percentage of alcohol. Not enough persons are checking their numbers - cholesterol sugar and BP. You can never know what's going on inside without a checkup. Take care of yourselves people. Eat right, exercise, get your 8 hrs of sleep, drink alcohol sparingly. And stop blaming the vaccine. Millions took it and they are fine.

    These doctors are failures... They are all greedy and unethical. You go to see them, in ten minutes they rushing you out to see the next patient. Then they tell you go and make an appointment for next two weeks .Which Doctor can do a proper evaluation, a proper examination of a patient in 5 to 10 minutes.? They need to focus on saving lives than the rush for money..especially those private doctors, I stop going private doctors for that reason.. I get better care and attention at East end of long look clinic that's where I go now. I like a Doctor that have a conversation with me understand my issues, them take time to examine me..Private doctors don't have time for all that...No wonder people young and old are denying so often of things I'm sure than could be prevented..don't know what happen in this case but I'm talking of cases in the past and my personal experience..!! Please doctors take time with your patients, put lives before money. Be ethical.

    My Condolences to this gentleman's family. The ratio of unexplained deaths is high and needs to be addressed publicly. Some may say it's one thing or the other but it needs to be addressed. I'm not a doctor but I do have colleagues who are. They've mentioned to me a rise in certain illnesses post the V. I also have acquaintances that took it and let's say 4 out of 10 experienced a stroke or some form of blood clots. I'm not making this stuff up, though some might not experience these same issues it's disheartening to know we ignore others who got injured from the V. Let's be considerate people this thing was not a magic bullet, it's not even a cure every now and again persons have to top up. MMMh sounds like good marketing to me, while the blood becomes more and more toxic the clock is ticking for us all but faster for some. My hear goes out to anyone who lost family on both sides of this debate.

Don't mention his mood swing, one minute he cool, then the next minute he withdrawn, and cursing. No about all these different shits that's going on(monkey pox, polio, hand, foot and mouth disease, sudden deaths) guess what's causing them? The Astra-Zeneka vaccine mixed with the Pfizer booster!! Check it out, people who did not took the vaccine are fine. I know of a lady who took the jabs, and got sick now here little baby has contracted the HFMD from suckling on her breast. Sad to day, but the truth is Many many more vaccinated(fully, partially) will continue to be hospitalized and buried. Had the queen not taken the vaccine she would've been alive today.

Not only was he helpful and kind to others around him without expecting anything in return, but he was also good to people who had done him wrong. He always appeared cheerful and was well-mannered. Peace be with you, dear friend. Those that loved and cared for you will miss you.
