A memorial service held in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and streamed online Saturday renewed speculation as Richardson suggested his sister’s death was somehow related to the COVID-19 vaccine.
‘Instead of asking whether or not Americans are vaccinated, the real question is: are Americans being poisoned?’ Silk asked the pro-Trump crowd filled with friends and family.
“In the wild, when they want to depopulate and sterilize a large group of animals, they usually inject one animal and that animal infects the rest of the animals,” Silk said, suggesting, without evidence, that the COVID-19 vaccine creates harm.
People are dying around here and no one talks about it! They are dropping dead suddenly and unexpectedly.
According to the investigation, there has been no evidence to suggest that the COVID-19 vaccine causes people to die, despite far-right pundits amplifying the phrase “died suddenly” on social media followed by videos of people having seizures. to support his theories.
