Sweden had no lockdowns or mask mandates:

Tell me more about Covid.

The 42-year-old man who allegedly beheaded a woman in Minnesota last week is an illegal immigrants, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The agency has identified the person arrested in connection wit the killing as Alexis Saborit-Viltres, a Cuba citizen unlawfully in the United States. ICE also said the agency did not placed a detainer" on him following his arrest on second-degree murder charges.

Saborit-Viltres' criminal history reportedly includes multiple convictions in Minnesota and several in Louisiana for crimes including domestic abuse, DUI, and fleeing from a police officer. He also has charges pending against him for first-degree arson, criminal damage to property, and obstruction of the legal process, officials said.

ICE attempted in 2012 to remove Saborit-Viltres, but Cuba failed to approve the necessary travel documents for the transfer. He was ultimately released on an order of supervision.

This time around, Saborit-Viltres is facing a charge of second-degree intentional murder in connection with the July 28 killing of 55-year-old America Mafalda Thayer, who was executed with a machete in a car in the middle of a residential intersection. The murder was witnessed and filmed by multiple bystanders.

It's good thing there's a very cheap treatment:




Antibody dependent enhancement.

Short definition: ADE occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize and bind to a pathogen, but they are unable to prevent infection. Instead, these antibodies act as a “Trojan horse,” allowing the pathogen to get into cells and exacerbate the immune response.

In a nutshell you get the flu, your immune system goes apeshit and attacks you instead of the virus.

DO NOT POLITIZE THE VIRUS!!!






The hospitals are full because we say they are full. You cannot audit the hospitals because there is no evidence the hospitals are not full.

AT THE SAME TIME letting illegals cross the border, then using military planes - paid for by OUR taxes - to relocate them to every state in the US without testing or quarantining any of them,
AT THE SAME TIME they're telling you that it's not constitutionally legal for the President to enforce an eviction moratorium, AT THE SAME TIME they're encouraging an executive agency that operates under the authority of the the President to enforce an eviction moratorium
