I appreciate that authorities would like everybody to be vaccinated – side effects or death notwithstanding – as that is the direction that the world power-brokers are pushing us minions. I get it. So far, the so-called science has shown that those dying or getting side effects are in the vast minority. But whether one wants to believe it or accept it, the minority still counts. Thus, just tell us the full truths, let us make decisions based on all the facts. Stop hiding stuff. Stop the evasiveness. Stop spreading fear as a tool to encourage vaccination, while suppressing information that might lead people to have second thoughts. The majority of people from global reports are recovering from COVID-19 and recovering having not been vaccinated. What am I jabbering about? International reports have suggested that some people who had no COVID-19 but took the vaccine have died as a result. There is the latest report of such an occurrence as recent as today as I write. There have been reports in Barbados of persons who have been vaccinated, who have died, who did not have COVID-19. But neither medical officials nor politicians have addressed this in full, unvarnished detail. Previously, when someone died in Barbados from COVID-19, we were told about the comorbidities they had. Now a few people are reportedly dying having taken the vaccine, and having had no COVID-19, or no comorbidities. But we are being giving reasons such as heart attack and the like – previously healthy people prior to the jab. I would suggest that the family of such people come forward and let their voices be heard across Barbados because the authorities seemingly have no intention of ventilating the full details of such cases. And finally, we are being told about the necessity for mass vaccination to help with herd immunity. But perhaps the doctors and scientists could explain if whether the thousands and millions who had COVID-19, recovered without vaccination, and live together, whether that too is herd immunity? And if vaccination is not a guarantee that you will not contract COVID-19, and that the vaccines seemingly need boosting on multiple occasions to help with their efficacy, isn’t our natural immune system, and boosting that natural immune system with the right foods and natural health supplements, a better option than these Phantom vaccines? The media, the politicians and the doctors must simply give full disclosure to all their information. When they don’t, the average citizen simply has to go to the internet to a reputable source where they get the information they want. Our leaders are creating too much distrust with their approach to information.
