Eye: Heidi Hapers We've opened our eyes Oil on wood 20x20cm My story starts 13 years ago in the summer of 2009. My then sister-in-law was admitted with pneumonia and allegedly died that year of swine flu, which I did not believe at the time and which I was confirmed in by a video from 2019 of van Ranst who gives a lecture for virologists at the Chatham house in England where he literally says he used her death to fuel the fear. She was the first dead in Belgium, she had had leukemia as a child and she was in poor health. He was present at her funeral and I can confirm that he was not very respectful to the bereaved. He spent most of the shift talking and laughing with the journalists who were there. This is what my parents saw and heard sitting in the back of the church. In the meantime, I have been separated from my ex for more than 10 years, but this event has never left me. When the first images of the victims of corona appeared in 2019, I immediately had the feeling this is not right. It was a repeat of what happened in 2009. I started looking up things, and even read scientific texts. The deeper I dug in, the more resistance I had to what was being said. At that time I had a circle of friends who were not at all involved. If I told something about what I discovered I was blocked or they said I don't believe in conspiracy theories, you can't say this, etc. . While everything I encountered came true. These people have all been vaxed. There was even one who coughed in my face and said "I can do that because I've been vaxed." I find that so disrespectful especially because he knew my opinion in this story. At the time, I mostly felt disappointed. And because of that I also stopped my volunteer work. 1/2
