  1. Lets discuss the elephant in the room with sports celebrities and entertainment. I would be willing to bet it was as a result of the covid shot. Also known as the clot shot or death dart!
    A good friend of mine from high school recently died from a blood clot to the heart. Only 59 and didn’t suspect anything until it happened. And yet, they are still trying to get people who have never had the shot to go get the shot and others to get more boosters! Pure evil!
