      Spell Jackass. You blame anything on vaccine never the less anything it takes to bash the government. Why don’t you tell your foolish Antiguans to drive with a little more moderation? Cause they feel as in they are in gta or need for speed. Just driving to their deaths! Now you’re under here talking bout Vaccine causing havoc

    Que pena con el muerto y sus familiares. Aqui parece que es mas importante criticar que sentir empatia por los afectada.

    What a shame for the deceased and his family. Here, it seems more important to criticize than to feel empathy for those affected.
