This is just one of the many causes of death that will be brought by lockdowns. No serious study has ever compared the deaths from lockdowns with how many lives might be saved from Covid-19 because of them. The lockdowns are irresponsible and have no scientific justification - because there have been no proper scientific studies of them.

Addicts...JT....tied together. Meanwhile, I and everyone else, kids included, are ambushed by their cancer clouds and the streets are littered with discard butts, because....addicts want to give the finger to society, I guess.
