I lost all my friends and most family. Could not get a job. Having worked in pharmaceutical sales for twenty years I was outspoken against all big pharmaceutical money grabs. Our food is medicine if we can make it so. The wealthy are not incentivized to sow healthy population.

When I saw a national poll in Canada saying that 20% of Canadians supported a short jail term for the unvaxxed- that’s when I knew we were in crazy land.

Dr Drew was very pro-vax and hung on to that for a very long time. It made me really uncomfortable. DR. Kelly Victory was the vioce of actual science and statistics on his show.

Kim you should look into the death of Dr. Rashid Buttar, 57, a licensed physician and a retired Major in the US Army who served in special forces. Before he died he claimed he was poisoned, he was accused of spreading COVID-19 misinformation. Rashid was one of my faves in helping me with my decision! RIP Sir!
