Numbers are downward trending. Should make it easier for the great unmasking to begin - but I’m not holding my breath. It will be interesting to see how the population can remove three years of intense, fanatical conditioning like this.

Vaccine fanatic points out that one of the most heavily vaccinated countries in the world has record deaths in 2022.
Heavily vaccinated Canada had double the covid deaths in 2022 than the previous years combined.
It will hit him in 3...2...1....

Japan once boasted one of the lowest Covid mortality rates, but the figure has been trending upwards since the end of 2022.
