12. My best friend died from the COVID "hoax". Refused vaccine, refused treatment, refused to go to ER.

This is a smart guy, an engineer and Vietnam vet who has traveled the world and lived in several foreign countries.

Nice guy, very compassionate and funny. One of these guys so nice people took advantage of him, he knew it, and he didn't care. As long as he was helping people he was OK with being taken. "They need the money worse than I do."

I had not seen him for a few years, and when he came around to visit one day, he was like a stranger.

Obama had put us under Sharia Law, it was illegal to show any Christian symbols, the FBI were rounding up people for worshipping Christ, "they" were abolishing the American Flag and replacing it with ISIS symbols.

He ended up losing his job because he refused to mask or get vaccinated, his wife divorced him, and he died sleeping on his son's couch because he could not pay his rent. He was, according to his son, totally off the rails.

I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it happen to him.
