Lol, LUDICROUS COMMENT,RESEARCH ?
Obviously much more than you, CDC leaks are also reporting undue medical issues, sudden death & many other strange life changing illnesses from non FDA approved vaxes. Live your myth & suffer from it or wake up!
I have heard of several folks who have been vaccinated coming ill with something like heart problems or loss if memory and never had any issues before the jab.
