Syracuse, N.Y. A 64-year-old woman and her 30-year-old son - who both had Covid-19 - died a few minutes apart this week in Syracuse.
Jacqueline posted in June a photo of herself with these words around it: Im not having the vaccine. My body, My choice. In May she posted a photo of herself and the words I trust my immune system not an experimental vaccine. My DNA, My Choice.
I need to go see if it's posted at Herman Cain Awards yet.

People used to die of diseases we don't even get anymore. It's not the immune system that is responsible.
Not to mention immune systems often go crazy, leading to the many auto-immune diseases that sicken modern people.
