So on vacation in Florida. Guy from Poughkeepsie just

told me that hospital there ( he knew insiders) said that 49 people there have died from the vaccine. What? Is that true??

He's in a unique segment, in my experience. He won't get the vaccine but IS very concerned about Covid. And went out of his way to avoid people by driving NY to FL. ( Unlike the no vaccine/don't worry about covid segment)

2. People are not dying from the vaccine, let alone 49 people in one hospital.

As of August 30, 2021, there have been more than 369 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered in the U.S. During this time, VAERS received 7,218 reports of death (0.0020%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine but a causal link to the vaccine has not been established, according to the CDC.

No. That's not true. I live in one of the most vaxed states in America. If that were true, we'd be dropping like flies. We're not. In fact, we've weathered the delta variant quite well, thank you very damn much.

Actually did the killings and they don't want to alarm the public.

My cousin from another country told me that's what he heard from a guy who should know.

They died in connection with covid, not because of the vaccine.

The article doesn’t state whether the deaths were due to being unvaccinated, but absolutely no reference to any connection to the vaccine.

That took less than 30 seconds to find.

10. As we all know, thanks to the governor, Florida is one of the very worst for anti-mask and anti-vaccine

Here in Northeastern New York, today's newspaper headline announced 31 new Covid cases in this largely rural county, they attributed them to "community spread," including five from public schools. They also said that the percentage of "breakthrough" cases, those who got Covid despite being fully vaccinated, is at 1.3%.
