I asked this in February. Yesterday the National Medicines Regulatory Authority said that yet another medicine, Rituximab, in addition to human immunoglobulin, was granted issued a "forged" waiver of registration. And the drug was distributed. It's worse than anyone predicted.
Leopold of Belgium ruled Congo as his private property for 23 years. He cut off the limbs of Congolese who did not meet their daily quota on the plantation. At the end of his rule, he had killed 15million Congolese people. But we are taught only about Hitler.

BA.5 has the same key L452R mutation that the Delta variant had. We all know what happens when delta was here with us. 1. Get your booster 2. Mask up at least indoors 3. Test if you are symptomatic
The world is experiencing one of the largest COVID waves of the pandemic, and it’s fueled by the Omicron BA.5 subvariant, the most contagious and most immune-evasive coronavirus strain yet. In Sri Lanka also hospitalizations will likely keep going up in the current BA.5 wave.

Article 14 of the Constitution:
(1) Every citizen is entitled to –
(a) the freedom of speech & expression...;
(b) the freedom of peaceful assembly;
(h) the freedom of movement...
Peaceful protest is very much a part of our constitutional rights.

Why strike like a coward at 1am Ranil?
