13. Maybe this guy should be interviewed for Fox. My mother died 15 years ago from a botched heart stent

procedure. She was bleeding in the recovery room and was on a trial blood thinner. Long story short, they knocked something during the procedure and the blood thinner they used couldn’t be easily reversed with a shot of Vitamin K. She ended up after several days with sepsis that eventually shut down her organs. When we went into the hospital room to say our goodbyes before we turned off the ventilator I was shocked. She was swollen up like a balloon ready to pop. I barely recognized her. She was 65 years old and this was her first health scare and it was just a stent for 1 artery that was suppose to be routine. I feel very sorry for the families. Maybe they should show these dead bodies on tv shock some sense into the anti-vaxers. And of the people who died were anti-vaxers well that’s just too bad. I have no sympathy for them.
