Was Green Party Leader Killed?

Michèle Rivasi, a Green Party member who was a major thorn in the side of the vaccine companies, has died under suspicious circumstances while en route to the European Union, where she served in parliament since 2009. Rivasi died from a heart attack, but activists have challenged whether hers was a natural death, and many have speculated that she was murdered. Rivasi turned up dead last month on Nov. 29, while on her way to the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium.

Rivasi had been outspoken in calling for full transparency relating to the SMS exchanges between the European Commission president and pharmaceutical companies.  In particular, she devoted part of her last mandate to investigating the so-called “SMS affair.” It deals with suspicions about text messages exchanged between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla centering around the negotiation of a contract for 1.8 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines.

Rivasi served as a member of the French National Assembly before  joining the European Union in 2009. Here’s an interview where she discusses some of her earlier campaigns, seeking greater protections against chemical compounds and agricultural sprays marketed by firms like Monsanto and trying to clean up the ecological wasteland that grew out of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Ironically, a vaccine company, Johnson & Johnson, sponsored this video, released four years ago!
