• And we no longer have vaccines, just "THE" vaccine. It's sacred and totally "safe and effective" based on secret data or a total lack of data. "TRUST US! WE ARE HERE TO LICENSE OUR PATENTS TO YOUR GOVERNMENT!"

• Science is now "antivax" and obedient politicians are "responsible". Because the latter don't ask question or demand supporting data, just kickbacks, however implicit.

• With WHO and GAVI in the pockets of Bill Gates et al the media is meant to ignore all that as "conspiracy theory"... like the LUDICROUS theory that Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein were friends so close that Melinda demanded a DIVORCE. What did she see and how much does she know?
