Pfzier has already said that after the 2 shots, you’ll need a 3rd within 12 Months, then probably one every year… They are already pushing the new narrative of “Variants”

Covid 19…20…21…22…23..24..25..26… FOREVER

In the last year we have learned that MOST people are afraid to die (spoiler.. we ALL die), and they were willing to waste a precious year of their life.. hiding. If this is so real how come our borders are open, and people are just wandering around Walmart & Home Depot?

Look how the rich have profited from this, and how the poor are getting poorer. It’s the biggest transfer of wealth in history. Wait until the big corporations move in to buy up the empty retail business space from mom/pop at liquidation prices.
