When the facts make people not want this injection, it is not the disseminators of the facts who cause “vaccine hesitancy”. It’s the damn vaccines.
Thank you M.
Re the Thrombosis issue: here is an interesting hypothesis.
Dr. John Campbell has been insisting for quite some time that the injection itself is not safely carried out.
They stick the needle into the muscle without first aspirating to ensure the needle hasn’t hit a blood vessel. With a short aspiration, blood would appear in the syringe, thus one knows the goo’s destination would be in the blood vessel.
As a now retired RGN I have been saying this for ever! Having watched videos of more than a few vaccinations, I was horrified to see that the administrator was failing to pull back the syringe plunger to check what every nurse & doctor knows! I even wondered whether protocols/training had changed since my retirement. I cringe every time I happen to see this unsafe practice being carried out carte blanche in these ubiquitous vaccination centres. Horrifying!
