I have almost a truckload of recently expired 🇺🇸 made N95s that are tested above spec if anyone in LA or CA needs them and can accept them by the pallet.

PM2.5 particles, like those found in forest fires, are the number one cause of cancer and can be avoided by wearing a mask.

Important discovery relevant to #LongCovid:
Fragments of #SARSCoV2 virus can reassemble into "zombie" complexes (XenoAMP-dsDNA) and induce a major and sustained immune response, affecting healthy, uninfected cells, not seen with common cold coronaviruses

Everything we know about BA.2.87, the newly detected variant with >30 spike mutations, ~100 overall. It’s the one to watch now to see if it can evolve further, simulating JN.1, to drive another global wave.

Remember: It was never about Israel or Palestine.

It's always been about their hate for American values.

Just read their propaganda and listen to them preaching the gospel of Hamas.
