I got vaccinated with Phfizer injections only to find out it was not properly registered with NHCSA and no idea what side effects and is the dosing ratio correct 💯 now l survived and they increase their price Who got his/her fingers in the pie

R u trying to tell me that SABC doesn't know these vaccines are useless?

Whilst WHO was considering ending Covid SA is peddling lies that numbers are rising. Results of a President who accepted the dollars now he's under pressure. Some dozes have been extended their 'expiry' date. How are VACCERS doing? Because people are sick

Spaghetti & balls
