      I’ll tell you the script, they was vaccinated and they’ll have a narrative sooner or later that you need a booster so you can be properly “protected”

      And that is none of your damn business if the person was vaccinated or not. What is your point. You are simply going to far with the intrusion into peoples personal life. Learn how to mind your own damn business. If you don’t know what mind your business means, ask some one who knows what it means. Tired of you intrusive people.

        I highly agree, I hate intrusive people. To the family of the deceased, if anyone ask you if the deceased was vaccinated or not, PLEASE SET THEM STRAIGHT, IT IS NOT ANY OF THEIR BUSINESS. That is the thing with people here, THEY JUST DON’T KNOW HOW AND WHEN TO MIND THERE OWN BUSINESS.ALWAYS UP IN SOMEONE’S SHIT.

        If it's none of someone's busy why do you get asked that question to continue on living then. If that's a problem maybe she died of HIV from the vaccine then. People with HIV should have to say their status

      It is not your place to tell grown folks what to do. Worry about yourself and what is going on in your four corners. And if you don’t know what four corners mean, It simply means your home where you live.

    The unvaccinated knows not to go to the hospital so only the vaccinated is there. Like the news said and you can look it up the vaccinated people are the spreaders. The truth people knows what's really going on with all this dumbness. Just when the booster and Pfizer freezer is going wow. It's really going to be a dark winter with all the sellout puppets

    One thing is certain if the person was unvaccinated they would have happily said so with their long speech

    Exactly! The Lady did not have covid. Shows what a mess our healthcare system is in. Now they want to say she died from covid just to scare everyone to get vaccinated. How low will they go with the deceit. What about the Lady’s family who have to deal with such a lie! Show some respect to her family. May her soul rest in eternal peace. Extending sincerest sympathy to the family and friends.

      @ Why. Because they have a RIGHT to make comments just like you! People like you are the reason so many will not take the vaccine. Calling people names because they don’t agree with you lead to wars. So YOU are the flat earth Neanderthal, trying to bully with “ your way or no way “ attitude. Well too bad for you Neanderthal low brow.
