Yes, I’m convinced that many of the politicians and celebrities who made a show of being “vaccinated” on camera were given saline or an otherwise attenuated version. Remember there was that head nurse at a prominent hospital in Eastern Europe who was in charge of giving the shot to prominent persons. She said in a news conference that she was ordered to give the public figures shots only from batch numbers ending in a particular number — or something like that — and not from batches used for the general public.
Dimly recall the country was Slovenia, and there was a digit in the middle of the batch number. ‘0’ was for important people.
Also it has come out that New Zealand has a list of 11,000 people who were permitted to have full civil rights without taking the vaxx.
