pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Suck it anti-vaccine weirdos. The mRNA Covid vaccines are safe, effective, and might even help with cancer treatments. Plus, the technology may be useful toward specific cancer fighting vaccines, such as lung cancer. Currently undergoing clinical trials.
