Down to earth vax info
Answers lots of good questions about vaccines/covid, really reassuring, and ep 4 in particular dead set hilarious.
Cal Wilson is dead within two years!
‘Great, great so like in two years you’re not going to suddenly sprout wings?’ Cal Wilson questioned 14/10/2021, in relation to side effects of the vax.
She’s dead almost two years to the day of this ‘How do Vaccines work’ podcast going to air.
How does Kate feel now? What a blow. Clearly a healthy 51 year old (who gave birth only 4 years earlier) sat in the chair opposite these ‘experts’ & discussed vaccines. She is the victim of misinformation & propaganda. Another one bites the dust but let’s just keep it a little hush, hush hey? Can’t be letting the truth get out now.
The truth emerges every single day as people lose their loved ones. Some connect the dots, others don’t.
Interesting AND funny
Really impressive line-up of scientists and comedians, talking much more candidly and conversationally about covid than I’m used to. Highly recommended way to hear answers about common covid questions. The episodes make me laugh, and they also make me feel more reassured! Loving it.
