Posted by on Apr 29, 2022 in Dr. Mercola | Comments Off on COVID Persists – What About the Vaccine?

This article was originally published here. COVID persists, but the COVID vaccine narrative has taken on so much water, the powers that be have stopped bailing, and are going to let these vaccines slowly sink. But what do they have in store for us next? There has been so much bad news about the vaccines in the last few months, it even leaked into the mainstream media.

This practice us abundantly illustrated by the COVID “biosecurity” propaganda — as well as by the tradition of grooming loyal supporters through the World Economic Forum’s...
