The fake oncologist @MakisMedicine claims mRNA technology "is dead".
Tell that to the life saving vaccines and mRNA based therapies that save lives every day.
And unlike Ivermectin, Fenbendazole or Mebendazole:

Thiel is a selfish, self-serving, fascist
Why is Peter Thiel lashing out at the pope? Because Pope Leo XIV is Peter Thiel’s worst fear.
The “woke American pope,” in his words, is taking on Silicon Valley and challenging it to build artificial intelligence in the service of humanity.
Here’s the problem for Thiel. Leo deals in a currency he doesn’t understand.
There’s no ballot that removes him, no impeachment, no indictment, no deportation order, no tariff that touches him.
His authority comes from somewhere Thiel has no instrument to reach.

fighting fraud at Mar a Lago
A nursing home boss stole his workers' Social Security and Medicare money.
He got 18 months and $4.4M restitution.
A Mar-a-Lago dinner erased it.
If pardons go to whoever can afford a plate, workers get robbed twice: once by him, once by the system.

A new ad flashes images of President Trump set to a striking soundtrack: A song titled “Love Me.” Even more striking may be the disclaimer: “Paid for by the U.S. government.”
The commercial debuted this week on right-wing news outlets, according to the media tracking service AdImpact.

Peter Thiel said yesterday that Pope Leo XIV is a “useful idiot” for the Chinese Communist Party because the pope wants safeguards on the development of artificial intelligence.
This is the same Thiel who suggested last year that Leo and Pope Francis were tools of the antichrist.
He is also JD Vance’s biggest financial backer

but AI replacement is just fine
Our message to corporate America is simple: We’re not going to let you lay off American workers so you can replace them with cheap foreign labor.

Tommy Tuberville is so dense light bends around him.
