Are you a resident of
Corpus Christi? No
Topic Petition for informed consent
Agenda Item Number 26
Describe Feedback: Why this city and affiliates of other
municipalities seeming so willing to heap
curses on themselves?This MRNA injection
has harmed so many. My daughter & her
husband miscarried, my twins 18year old
recent graduate died suddenly, their 15year
old peer diagnosed with myocarditis, their
grandfather a life threatening series of severe
blood clots, all within 3months, all VARES
documented & now well known side effects.
Please turn from this wicked agenda to keep
the public ignorant, return your 30 pieces of
silver. Ken Paxton/Texas &several other
states are currently in litigation with Pfizer
over the "vaccine". Is this the pathway this
city council is choosing? Not to promote
lawful informed consent???The CDC
Vaccine Information Sheet does not provide
updated information on all the adverse
effects, which is required by law. This IS life
or death, CDF has equipped this city council
members well, I urge you to take heed&
provide informed consent!!!

Several people in the longhaul vaccine
group on FB have now been
diagnosed with T Cell Lymphoma , a
type of blood cancer that manifests
with skin rashes and has a poor
prognosis .
How many billions of people took this
shot? What percentage will get sick?
