He also expressed that he had already received the coronavirus 4 times, the first at the beginning of the pandemic in June, when he felt very bad with pain in his body, fatigue – he was walking and getting tired, headache and he had very short breath, those discomforts lasted 3 months.

“I don’t believe in the vaccine!” Bella says, explaining that her relatives had very strong reactions to the vaccine and she doesn’t want to experience that because she suffered a stroke five years ago and therefore believes it is bad for her health, she also added that the next 3 times she gave Covid the discomforts were mild compared to the first time.

“Simply when you have blood problems, that’s when the pills make you sick, they give you clots, and I think the vaccine will be the same.”
