Assuming this was actually a miracle treatment for covid, that was safe,
inexpensive, and widely available. Can someone help me understand why the
global health community wouldn't have embraced it? Is the theory that there

It would seem like US assassins wouldn't kill him when they just got
permission to extradite. That must mean the conspiracy theory is that

It's a pretty lazy tactic to disregard every world government to excuse an

Similarly, claiming that somehow this list has created anything, when it

Voter ID laws are interesting for how divisive they are. People on both
