    If one gets stroke or heart attacks within 15 days of vaccine then it is blamed on Covid. Mostly vaccine adverse reactions are immediately or after 10 days. Clots happening in arteries affects when young and fit athletes play games and suddenly collapse and die within minutes. 7 kids below 18 died recently immediately after the jabs. How many more kids need to be sacrificed to satiate the greed of vaccine mafia?
