  1. In view of the worldwide sudden death syndrome affecting Covid jab recipients I do wonder whether drivers killed in traffic accidents died as a result of the crash or suffered catastrophic heart failure beforehand which led to the crash.
    Same goes for drownings. Did the person die from actual drowning or had they already died from heart failure due to clotted up arteries courtesy of Pfizer.
