[grc] Grc statement on covid?

[Ann Garrison]

I read a news report that someone with gunshot wounds died of COVID, and
another about someone who had Stage 4 cancer and then had a heart attack.
But again, I'm speaking as someone who's been vaccinated.  I don't doubt
that COVID is real but I think the numbers may be inflated for whatever
reason. And I think that the censorship is dangerous.
