• "The #CDC assumes that Covid-19 infections in vaccinated people, if they don't need hospitalization, are mild. But we don't know whether they cause "long Covid" disabilities. To find out, we need to keep track of them." tl;dr: NEVER EVER GET #COVID19 if you can avoid it. Never. https://stallman.org/archives/2021-may-aug.html#13_August_2021_(Assuming_mild_infections)          ☞

• Did #astrazeneca buy shares in #billBC or is #bbc still taking bribes only from the #patent holder, #billgates (which denied Oxford licence so as to vaccinate as many as possible; all because of profit)? The site reads like 24/7 #marketing          ☞

• Long COVID: messing around with the physical health and minds of perhaps a billion people within a year or two. Thousands of people who can never be competitive athletes anymore... and many who will spend more time in hospitals or on pills the rest of their lives. DO NOT GET COVID, DO NOT PASS IT EITHER. Our government stopped caring! http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2021/06/22/lock-down-again/          ☞
