What did Uche Nwaneri say about the vaccine mandates?

As mentioned earlier, the former NFL guard was quite vocal about his support for vaccine mandates. He always made it a point to let everyone know the importance of vaccines. And suggested that the virus was spreading because of the people who were refusing to get vaccinated.

That said, there has been no conclusive evidence that suggests that there are any risks involved in the after-effects of vaccines. It shouldn’t be believed that the reason for his acute heart failure was anyway linked to the Covid-19 vaccine.
