  17. And what about those who suffered brain damage or other serious injuries as a result of being vaccinated?

    Until vaccines can be independently proven and verified to be 100%

    He won't be in US custody anytime soon the UK (Who do have an extradition treaty with the US) wants him for breaching bail and there is still an outstanding extradition request from Sweden (Who don't have an extradition treaty with the US).
