NEW—Two doses of #Pfizer-BioNTech are 90% effective against #COVID19 hospitalisations for all variants, including delta, for at least six months.

Writing is R&D for your brain. The words you publish now are the seeds of your future projects. Every time you write down an idea, you add a Lego block to your intellectual arsenal. The more Legos you have, the more things you can build. Writing is the same.

Ominous indeed!
"Child-nutrition experts say toddler milk is expensive, unnecessary & possibly even unhealthy. Although toddler milk can cost 4X price of cow’s milk, it consists mainly of powdered milk, corn syrup & vegetable oil. 😳🤔#BabiesBeforeProfits
