      The person who died was fully vaccinated. This is a small community. Eventually things transpire. Stop censorship. Be transparent. Person was indeed elderly and with previous health issues. That only proves that taking the vaccine should be a medical decision taken after a thorough assessment by a medical doctor. Especially with these vaccines, completely new and much less tested than the ones we are familiar with.

        For God's sake that elderly lady had already contracted the virus before taking the shot unknowingly.

      Nobody claims any vaccine is 100%. Logically there will always be a tiny number that still die from Covid. It’s also worth remembering that this person may not have died from Covid. They died WITH Covid.

      Anywhere were people congregate in crowded situation or indoors without appropriate physical distancing and mask wearing (again, if your mask is not covering your nostrils and mouth, it’s worthless) is the problem.

    The vaccinated are the problem. They are bringing in the virus and with no quarantine period, they are spreading the virus around. Stop the bleeding and revert to what worked. Quarantine period for the vaccinated please.

      Meanwhile the smart countries like Britain have
      Huge numbers of people vaccinated, tiny death
      rates despite rising Covid infections and are able to open up again. Sure the infections will rise but not the hospitalisation.

      They used to have power and was jamming to keep us safe before being distracted by the Commission Of Inquiry. 1 death that was a feat.

      Real talk that’s why now is not the time to entertain the UK agenda. it’s all on the transcript there’s no reason why they can not come back at a later date.

    On the gravestones during the 50'60 there were lots of baby children deaths recorded. After the 60's there were few recorded. Thats when vaccinations started. It's written in stone Vaccines work.

      Please don’t mix up those vaccines with this gene therapy experimental poison that’s being pushed right now. It’s not the same thing. Ask those giving you the so called COVID vaccine about the ingredients and see what they say. It’s on the label, I doubt they read it. Aborted fetal tissue, Mercury, etc. None of that crap should enter people’s bodies.

    I am sad to hear of the death of the elderly person with COVID-19. If we choose to be vaccinated, it will assist to lower the risk of being infected. If the USA did not choose to vaccinate millions of people, there would have been serious problems. Since Joe Biden won the election and choose to ensure that the entire population be vaccinated, we see clearly that the US economy is on the rebound and people are moving freely. I would like to urge everyone who have not taken the vaccine to do so. I am proud to say that I am FULLY VACCINATED.

      Have you listened to Joe Biden and the vaccine. He is making the Asszenica for the Caribbean and the CDX and FDA does not recommend it for the US citizen to take. We are the guinea pigs...open your ears and listen. Some of us do not want the Asszenica because manybcountried do not deep it fit for their citizen.

    We had it good and now we need to look into what changed in the protocols to allow Covid to enter.
