[I have just returned home from Mater Dei hospital where my father-in-law is losing his battle against the venom that was injected in him.
The first and the second dose did not put much stress on his health… but … with the booster he developed multi organ inflammatory syndrome… although in hospital they don’t want to admit that the booster is the cause… but when I tried to corner them asking them what was the cause, they were evading giving a clear answer.
