  1. Condolences to family.. it’s interesting that these Naysayers have plenty to comments on the vaccinated death and they have gone into hiding for the unvaccinated. A bunch of hypocrites and intellectually dishonest people. However, people protect yourself from this deadly Virus and stopped spreading falsehoods and ignorance about vaccines which incidentally have work for donkey years. Your rights stopped at your door steps when it’s come to others.Don’t become a victim due to your ignorance.
