    Don't let them enter. My Swell water bottle was "held" because it was metal and wasn't allowed in NYC City Hall

    Not surprising, but still galling. This is why all drugs that cure diseases, end suffering, & keep the public safe from epidemics/pandemics should have no patents. Dr. Robitzek, who did the Isoniazid trials, said "no one should capitalize off tuberculosis." We should hear history

    No one ever cared about our children. From the beginning their health was expendable & those of us who called for masking & are still calling for masking are considered off-the-wall. My heart breaks reading this post an knowing these sicknesses are spreading at an alarming rate

    He is in his lane. He’s the one who’s taking care of the bodies of children who are massacred and dealing with the parents who are falling to their knees with grief all for what? So you could walk around freely with an assault rifle while buying coffee or groceries.

    The second #death of a #nurse in #NYC from #Covid. If there was proper #testing and #PPE it could've been prevented. Never forget that #Trump refused to send NYC supplies. Never forget he accused nurses of stealing what he sent #COVID19 #coronavirus

    When I was researching my book had it not been for the generosity of some doctors that I was working with who gave me access to these journals there was no way I couldn’t afford to read them. It’s ludicrous that science has corporate gatekeepers
