“Spreading love and pride”

Yeah, right. Spreading disease, disgust, nausea, and revulsion.

“Nice to see non-vax deaths are making a comeback. A return to normalcy.”

Dreamer.

My favorites are retroactive Jab Deaths of people who died before there were Covid vaccines.

No shock. No surprise. Par for the course. The guaranteed outcome of promiscuous, physically damaging sex.....and drug overdoses from fentanyl and/or meth.

Like no one is shocked when promiscuous hetero- man or woman dies of HIV or HPV, cancer..or drug overdose...

The drag queen could have been lucky, and died of car accident, being murdered, or a long fall...

Sodomy goes hand in hand with mental illness and drug abuse.

the family said that they would not be releasing any further details about James’ death.

My guess... 50 - 50 odds.. he either DIED from AIDS or the VACCINATION!

America was a better place when sodomy was illegal and homosexuality was a recognized mental disorder that constituted a disqualification for military service and holding a security clearance.

not shocking at all, gay men live on average 30 years less than average. Being a gay man is more dangerous than smoking, drinking, and obesity combined.

Do people still die of AIDS?

Last year in the U.S., 41,108 people died of pneumonia.

And 44,004 died of Covid-19.

(According to official statistics - make of that what you will.)
