article neglects to mention whether he took the vaccine
BDE, Just wondering if he got the Covid Vaccine and “suddenly “ died like all the others that suddenly die. So sad that people don’t see what they are doing to themselves . 62% of the people that are getting the vaccine have microscopic blood clot. I know too many people that “suddenly “ passed away within the past few months . All of them took the vaccine .
BD”E. Heard some weeks BEFORE he was niftar that he was not interested in the vaccine. The malach hamaves doesn’t need vaccines to do his work.
Dr. Charles Hoffe of British Columbia has an animated video presentation that explains the microscopic blood clots – how these don’t show in typical tests, only through a d diter test as the synthetic mRNA substances create inflammation in the capillaries. ‘How mRNA vaccine affects cells’ presented in a recent interview with Dr. Joseph Mercola.
