Indeed and I expect that is also the case in mainland Europe, they aren’t keen on mentioning things like that in Europe are they.

TB rate has been steadily rising in the US since 2020. Hmmm, open border started when...?

The US also has a measles outbreak that is likely the result of the influx of unvaccinated people that poured across the border for 4 years.

More like the Anti-Vaxxers led by the Trump, RFK and their conservative minions. Anti-Vaxxers are leading the way to the erasure of decades of greatly reduced infection rates in the US.

Are you under the impression we don't have enough idiots in this country for an outbreak? The anti-vaxxers took off with the pandemic in 2020.

In a very similar way, the "spike" is just the viral protein that is targeted for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but for other pathogens the target simply are other proteins. Bacteria have dozens and dozens of proteins in their membrane so vaccine research focus on identifying which of these proteins stimulate neutralizing activity.

The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) seems promising. Have you taken it, I wonder; I mean, to avoid the TB and transmission? To: 大窪Kahlua and Virusex.

No to what?

No medical expertise? Okay.

Do you follow a keto diet? I was told by podcast watchers that it has multiple health benefits.
