But I 100% guarantee that by flooding money to the mRNA specific Pharma businesses... we'll see amazing new things in the next decade including gene editing therapies for Cancer, Heart Disease and even obesity.

I’m trying to do my part.

A few months ago, some guy came in to the clinic waving a form and asking me to approve an exemption against vaccines.

“Nope”, I said, before he could go any further. “Not a chance. Don’t even hope.”

He left without another word, and nobody else has tried it since.

anti-vax builder who was working on my house heard. I have had a procession of builders here in deep red TN helping out on my old cabin; all of them anti-vax and maskless. Not an ounce of intelligence on the subject from at least 6 builders over the past 2 years.
He knew I had it; was keeping my great distance and he justified my situation for the reason he was anti-vax.
No reasoning with these characters, so I didn't pursue his crude justifications.
