December 31st will always be a sad day for me. During the height of the lockdowns in 2021, all hospitals were closed in practice. My sister, who was withdrawing from benzos, had an argument with my mother about the mandates as she was unvaccinated. She then experienced a major panic attack and withdrawal signs (elevated temperature, heart rate, confusion). Her friend dropped her off at a hospital. Security cameras later showed her going to the vestibule several times, where the admitting nurse was, but she never spoke to anyone… maybe likely due to forms regarding vaccination status. The police looked at the footage, but the hospital faced no accountability. That night, she walked three hours into a cold river and died of hypothermia at midnight.
At that exact same time, my daughter was in critical condition from severe electrolyte disturbances (K 2.3, Na 109) secondary to salmonella poisoning, and we had to drop her off at a hospital 900 km away. We were not allowed in. We didn’t know if she would survive.
She lived. My sister didn’t.
I haven’t even been able to talk about this for the last four years. The rosary, frequent Masses and Confessions brought me through.
I don’t know what the next year will bring, but sometimes I feel like I’ve already walked through the valley of death.
I wish all my followers and subscribers a Happy New Year. Rest assured, I will continue to study, reveal, and fight, in memory of my sister, and in honour of what my daughter and the rest of my family endured.
