I don't need to know the vax status of football players. That information is not relevant to me unless/until they drop dead from a heartattack/stroke during a practice/game. Though I'm sure when that happens they won't connect the death of the super healthy athlete to the mRNA bioweapon they were forced to take to play ball.✌ #CFL #Lions #Stamps #Elks #Riders #Bombers #Argos #TiCats #Redblacks #Alouettes

In regards to Trevor Harris' neck pain...many people are experiencing pain in their necks on the same side that they received the vaccination on. #CFL #ElksCharge #Elks #vaccinated #VaccineSideEffects
