High Inflation Continues in Germany
Inflation in Germany showed a slight decline in August 2023 but remained elevated, with a rate of 6.1%. This slight weakening in inflation was less than what economists had predicted, as they anticipated a dip to 6.0%. Comparatively, in July, the inflation rate was recorded at 6.2%, and June witnessed a peak of 6.4%.

“It Came From Interstellar Space”
When the meteor that Avi Loeb, director of the Institute for Theory and Computation at Harvard University calls IM1 streaked across the sky on 8 January 2014, it was nothing special.
Yes, at half a meter in diameter, it was big enough to put on a nice show for people on the ground, ending in a rapid series of explosions high in the atmosphere.
“There were some reports of flashes in the sky, and there was probably a boom, although I’ve never heard anyone say that,” says Loeb’s colleague, Rob McCallum of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Normally, that would have been the end of the story. But IM1 means ‘interstellar meteor 1’ and in a pre-print study posted this week on ArXiv, a team led by Loeb and McCallum, which retrieved tiny iron spherules condensed from molten metal that rained down after the asteroid exploded, concluded the asteroid hadn’t come from our own asteroid belt. It came from interstellar space.

12-Year-Old Boy Who Got in Trouble for Wearing Gadsden Flag Patch Wins Victory Over School: Report
A 12-year-old Colorado boy just won a major victory against his school after a video of him being removed from class for displaying a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack went viral this week.
Connor Boyack,, education expert and president of the Libertas Institute in Utah, released a screenshot of the Vanguard School Board of Directors allowing Jaiden to “attend school with the Gadsden flag patch visible on his backpack.”
“We won!” Boyack wrote Tuesday on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Let this be a lesson — document your encounters w/ government employees. Had Jaiden’s mom not recorded the video, this wouldn’t have got nearly the attention that it did.”

Another Soros-Funded Group Pushes for Social Media Platforms to Censor Election “Disinformation”
An organization under the financial umbrella of outspoken billionaire George Soros is mounting a brazen bid to implement a perilous cap on free speech in America’s digital public square. Today, the battle lines are being drawn with Common Cause, a group bankrolled by Soros, gleefully trumpeting its success in nurturing a potent alliance with Big Tech to quash election “disinformation.”
Expounding on its tactics in a recent press release titled “Election Disinformation in 2022 and What We Learned for 2024,” Common Cause masterfully revealed its ironic contradiction: a group professing to be a champion of democracy while vigorously advocating for restrictions on free speech.

Appeals Court Delivers Major Blow to Michael Avenatti’s Efforts to Reduce Jail Sentence
Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti was handed a major legal defeat Wednesday as part of the case in which he was convicted of attempting to extort sports apparel brand Nike out of millions of dollars.
In a 3-0 decision, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Avenatti’s conviction in the case and ruled against his claims that jurors weren’t properly instructed in the relevant statute. The appeals panel also rejected Avenatti’s argument that the evidence in the case didn’t support his charges of extortion and honest-services fraud.

Biden to Observe Upcoming 9/11 Anniversary in Alaska in Departure From Tradition
The White House announced this week that President Biden will observe the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in Alaska, not any of the three attack sites.
On Monday, Sept. 11, Biden will travel to a military base in Alaska where he will mark the 22nd anniversary of the attacks in a memorial ceremony with members of the military and their families, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement Monday.
The White House explained that the president will travel to Alaska to mark the somber occasion after his Sept. 10 trip to Hanoi, Vietnam, where he will meet with Vietnamese General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and other leaders to discuss technological innovation and climate change in an effort to bolster the two nations’ relationship.

CDC Faked 99% of Reported ‘COVID Deaths, ‘ Data Shows
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just quietly published new data that reveals a staggering 99% of reported “Covid deaths” were not actually caused by the virus.
Recent data from the CDC reveals a troubling statistic showing that most recorded fatalities that were blanket-blamed on Covid were actually caused by something else.
According to the CDC’s Covid dashboard, just 1.7% of the 324 “Covid deaths” registered in the week ending August 19 had the coronavirus as the primary cause of death.
Alarmingly, the vast majority of people who were labeled as so-called “Covid deaths” actually died of other causes such as cancer and heart disease.

Climate Change Makes Wildfires in California More Explosive
During some of the worst hours in Camp Fire, which in 2018 burned the town of Paradise, California to the ground, the fire was growing so fast it ate up 10,000 acres within just 90 minutes.
Wildfires like the Camp Fire that intensify and spread enormously within a single day, hour, or even minutes, keep fire experts up at night. Now a new study, published Wednesday in Nature, uses a machine-learning model to show that climate change has nudged the risk of fast-spreading fires up by about 25% on average in California. That’s compared to a time before humans heated up Earth’s atmosphere by burning vast amounts of fossil fuels.
“We’re seeing the impact of climate change for the first time on that high-resolution fire behavior,” says Patrick Brown, the study’s lead author and a climate scientist at Berkeley’s Breakthrough Institute.
The dangers didn’t increase evenly. Of the 18,000 California fires that sprang to life from 2003 to 2020, 380 of them included at least one day when they grew by at least 10,000 acres — an area as big as most of Manhattan. Climate change ramped up the likelihood of that growth for most of the fires—but not all of them.
The team found there were critical thresholds governing fire behavior. For fires burning near the thresholds, climate change could tip them into a more dangerous state.

Man Charged After Woman Stabbed, Killed During Kenwood Home Invasion
CHICAGO — A man was arrested Tuesday after a woman was stabbed and later died during a home invasion in Kenwood last year.
Aubrey Jackson, 34, was arrested by CPD and the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force in the 600 block of West 61st Place.

British Intelligence Officer Admits to Stabbing NSA Employee
A former British intelligence worker pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempted murder for stabbing a U.S. government employee in a parking lot.
Joshua Bowles, 29, admitted to attacking the unnamed employee of the National Security Agency, who worked in the U.K.
“Through our extensive and thorough investigation, it is clear that Bowles had selected his victim because of where she worked,” counterterrorism officer Olly Wright told the court, according to the BBC.
Bowles previously worked at the U.K.’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Britain’s electronic spy agency. He left the job in late 2022 and began spying on the unnamed NSA employee in early 2023. She had worked alongside Bowles at GCHQ before he departed.
On March 9, Bowles tracked the woman to a rec center around 3 miles from the GCHQ building in Cheltenham, about 90 miles west of London.
When the victim was walking through a parking lot with a friend, Bowles launched a surprise attack and stabbed her, the BBC reported. A passerby named Adam Fuentes attempted to intervene and protect the woman, but Bowles responded by punching him.
The woman escaped back into the rec center, while Bowles chased her unsuccessfully with a second knife. She was transported to a hospital for treatment.

The former minister expressed his concern that should the uncontrolled inflow of Ukrainian grain onto the Polish market occur once more, it would result in bankruptcy for many farmers. Uncontrolled transit of Ukrainian grain could spell the death knell for Polish farming, he warned.

Mysterious Outbreak in Poland: 16 Dead
The number of people who have died from Legionnaires’ disease in Poland has risen to 16, with at least another 155 people hospitalised in the southeastern region close to the border with Ukraine, health authorities said Wednesday, August 30th. The disease broke out two weeks ago in the city of Rzeszów, with some neighbouring areas affected as well.
Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the outbreak but have been inspecting various sites in Rzeszów, primarily the water pipelines, where experts suppose the bacteria might be coming from. It is possible that the germs spread in high temperatures during the recent heat wave. More than 1,000 kilometres of pipelines were disinfected last weekend using chlorine.

In statements delivered during an exclusive interview with The Voice of Europe, Baudet said the very things that make a free, classically liberal society, namely a robust middle class, are disappearing before our eyes, leading to a society where you have on one hand a group of poor, atomized individuals who increasingly do not participate civil society and on the other hand an ultrawealthy, globalist-capitalist elite who own everything and control the levers of power.

Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, who has gone on to create a new popular show on X, said during a speech in Hungary that the United States blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which was built to transport gas from Russia to Germany.
“The world is resetting completely. The post-war order is collapsing. NATO is going to collapse, obviously. You can’t have the driver of NATO, which is the United States, sabotage Germany’s main source of cheap energy in Nord Stream. The Biden administration blew up Nord Stream. And the Germans are so self-hating they won’t say anything about it. They sort of put their head down, ‘No, I don’t want to talk about that!’ Okay, but I do want to talk about it because it is important.
First of all, it was the biggest act of industrial sabotage in history. Second, it was the largest man-made CO2 emission in history, which if you’re a global warming cultist is like the devil himself come to Earth, and the Biden administration did that. But third and most important, it was an attack on Germany, which is the most powerful country in Western Europe and America’s last main ally, and we just attacked our most important ally. NATO cannot stand long term. At some point, the Germans are going to wake up and be like, wait a second, we had chemical plants two years ago and now we don’t. You just wrecked our economy. I just don’t think it can continue after that. Maybe I am wrong. But I don’t see how it does.”

Londoners face fines after Sadiq Khan’s considerable expansion of the anti-car ‘ULEZ’ charge which took force on Tuesday saw the scheme’s website overloaded with visitors, and hit with the impact of a sustained campaign against the scheme, including protests and vandalism against the zone’s infrastructure.
The first day of the expansion of the Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ), a system of levies and fines designed to drive motor traffic away from London which used to cover the heavily urban inner regions but as of this week rolled out to the suburban and even semi-rural areas of the Greater London area started on Tuesday, but not to universal acclaim.

Drone Strikes Against Russian Territory Overnight ‘Biggest’ of War So Far
The drone strikes on targets across Eastern Russia overnight are the largest of the Ukraine war so far, reports claim, and hit targets as far away from Kyiv as northeastern Europe near the Estonian border, allegedly destroying Russian military aircraft on the ground.
Six Russian regions as well as Russian-occupied Ukraine were struck by drones in the early hours of Wednesday, including the Estonia and Latvian-bordering Peskov region, with claims including material damage to Russian infrastructure and military equipment. Among the targets allegedly hit was Pskov airport, a microchip factory in Bryansk, bordering Belarus, an oil storage facility in Kaluga bordering Moscow, and Sevastopol on the Black Sea, reports The Times of London.

Moscow Thanks Pope Francis for Homage to ‘Great Mother Russia’
ROME — Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the Kremlin “very much appreciates the Vatican’s balanced line on the conflict in Ukraine” after Pope Francis came under fire for offering tribute to “great Mother Russia” over the weekend.
Relations between Russia and the Holy See are marked by “a mutually respectful and constructive approach,” Zakharova told the Italian news agency ANSA on Tuesday while blasting the “Kiev regime” for rebuffing the pope’s peace efforts.

Netherlands: FVD Leader Thierry Baudet: US-Led NATO Alliance Provoked War in Ukraine
Thierry Baudet, a Dutch member of parliament who leads the Forum for Democracy (FvD), an anti-globalist movement and political party, has argued that the US-led NATO alliance is the main party that’s responsible for the war in Ukraine that’s already claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands and has displaced millions of innocent people.
Baudet, during statements delivered to The Voice of Europe in an exclusive interview, said that—despite the fact that the Russian Federation, led by Vladimir Putin attacked first—he regards the war in Ukraine as a NATO war of aggression against Russia. He added that he doesn’t believe the war is a Russo-Ukrainian war but a military conflict between Russia and NATO, which is controlled by the US.

Orban Claims Ukraine Cannot Overpower Russia Due to Mobilization Reserves Disparity
In a recent interview with American host Tucker Carlson, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban expressed strong skepticism about Ukraine’s capacity to triumph over Russia in their ongoing conflict.
Responding to Carlson’s mention of a prevalent U.S. belief that Ukraine is gaining the upper hand in the war, Orban vehemently countered, terming it a “lie” and not just a simple misconception. He stressed the considerable difference in mobilization reserves between the two countries, suggesting that Ukraine will deplete its military personnel before Russia does. “Boots on the ground” will be the decisive factor and Russia possesses a marked advantage in terms of manpower.

Russia Confirms Wagner Warlord Prigozhin Buried in Low-Key Private Funeral
Russian state media outlets, citing alleged sources close to the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC), reported that the head of that organization Yevgeny Prigozhin was buried in a small, private service in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, preventing hoards of supporters from organizing a mass gathering.
Prigozhin, a former hot dog vendor who rose to become one of the most influential people in strongman Vladimir Putin’s inner circle, reportedly died in a plane crash along with other senior Wagner members, including reported founder Dmitry Utkin, in a region north of Moscow. The Russian government claimed to confirm via DNA analysis that Prigozhin was onboard the plane on Sunday.

Training Challenges for Ukrainian F-16 Pilots Highlighted by the New York Times
The New York Times has underscored significant challenges in training Ukrainian pilots for F-16 combat aircraft. A limited number of Ukrainian pilots possess the requisite English proficiency and combat aircraft experience to commence F-16 training in Denmark. Only eight Ukrainian pilots currently meet the criteria with another 20 starting their English language training in the UK.
Language proficiency has emerged as a crucial barrier to effective training. Pilots must comprehend English to navigate training resources, communicate with air traffic control and trainers and to operate the aircraft, whose avionics, including instrument labeling are in English. This issue echoes a previous report by the Financial Times about similar challenges in tank crew training.

UK Parliament Declares Taiwan an ‘Independent Country’ as Top Diplomat Travels to Communist China
The House of Commons has once again upstaged the Conservative government on Communist China, declaring on Wednesday that Taiwan is indeed an “independent country” as Foreign Secretary James Cleverly landed in Beijing.
In a direct repudiation of the CCP’s so-called “One China Policy”, a report published by Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee stated that “Taiwan is already an independent country, under the name Republic of China (ROC)”.
Since the Chinese Civil War, Beijing has maintained that there can only be one sovereign nation with the name ‘China’, the communist People’s Republic of China (PRC) of the mainland.

US Warns N Korea Against Selling Weapons to Russia for Ukraine War
White House says Pyongyang should ‘cease its arms negotiations’ with Moscow amid escalating tensions with Washington.
The White House has warned North Korea against selling munitions to Russia for its war in Ukraine as tensions between Pyongyang and Washington continue to mount.
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on Wednesday that the United States is concerned about potential arms deals between Russia and North Korea.
“We urge the DPRK to cease its arms negotiations with Russia and abide by the public commitments that Pyongyang has made to not provide or sell arms to Russia,” Kirby said, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Kirby added that the US believes Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu tried to convince Pyongyang to sell artillery ammunitions to Moscow when he visited North Korea and met with its leader Kim Jong Un in July.

Belgium to Block Single Male Asylum Seekers to Make Way for More Families
BRUSSELS (AP) — The Belgian government said Wednesday it is imposing a ban on providing shelter for single men seeking asylum, arguing its insufficient reception capacity should be freed for families, women and children first. Aid organizations condemned the move as reneging on international commitments.
Belgium has long come under criticism for failing to provide enough shelter to the thousands of people who are seeking protection from persecution back home and long lines of tents along streets outside the main processing center in Brussels have become a stain on Belgium’s reputation.

Channel Crisis: Over 20,000 Illegals Land on British Shores as PM Claims ‘Plan is Working’
The number of illegal migrants that have crossed the English Channel since the start of the year has surpassed 20,000 despite Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s insistence that the government’s strategy to stop the boats “is working”.
On Tuesday, six small boats carrying around 400 migrants were intercepted and brought ashore by the British Border Force, taking the total to approximately 20,200 since January.
This, according to calculations made by The Telegraph, is 21 per cent lower than last year when 25,000 had reached the UK via the English Channel, leading to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak dubiously declaring that his government’s policies have worked in slowing the migrant crisis.

How many have they killed?
1/8-23
by Steve Kirsch
screenshot: — 670 000 killed in the USA — here:
https://www.snaphanen.dk/2023/08/31/hvor-mange-har-de-slaaet-ihjel/#more-200299
The figures from VAERS are probably quite conservative, they could be as low as 10% of reality, but let’s say they fit. How many have been killed by vaccines in Europe (EU), which has over 100 million. more inhabitants, and to some extent is hardly as vaccinated as the US? And in Denmark?
I posted it in the comments yesterday and got an insight into what is happening in the country. If they are also true, the main culprit Mette Frederiksen is lucky if she was only convicted of killing 17 million minks. If Denmark were to become a constitutional state again, and she was brought before a court, she would be one of the biggest criminals in Danish history. If not the greatest. That much can be established without doubt without having the concrete death toll.
I think the figure is many times higher. Now, I live in a small town with less than 4,000 inhabitants, and a church employee told me that when he started working last fall, there were 7 funerals in the first two weeks!
A neighbor has died, had 3 ‘vaxxes’, another neighbor had his leg amputated after #2, a younger family member came to the hospital by ambulance after the first – and only – vaxx, an uncle had a severely swollen hand after #2 and had two surgeries, and an aunt had Bell’s palsy. I know soooo many ugly stories.
A priest came – perhaps accidentally – to tell me in writing that he knows very well that doomsday is near, “because I now go out every week to talk to dying young people”! This was after only 2 or 3 vaxx!!! And, as I said, I live in a small town in a lovely countryside, which is full of red moss farming hills.
Sad that television got such power over people. . .
Good thing I don’t have a TV and I don’t miss it for ONE second! Sick and evil movies, and depraved and darkened pundits and politicians. . Lies and propaganda.
It’s actually even worse than what I say in the comment above. An old lady in town with a large circle of friends told me in the fall of 2021 that she now had 16 (or was it 26?) close acquaintances and family members who had died within a short period of time. She absolutely did not want to accept that it had to do with the vaccines and looked almost annoyed when I said that.
The rusty van stopped very often in front of the nursing home during the periods especially after 2 vaxx, but it is probably almost impossible to collect the actual figures, as the authorities hide them. The ‘old age burden’ has in any case been adjusted downwards via taxpayer funded mass extermination, and that is [bovine ordure]!
Good for you! I will try to get some information here in this area. I know one of the priests better than the others in the congregation, and he is fully on ‘our team’ in this.
There will probably be no conflict. As a third priest wrote to me: “this thing with the wax is satanic. “.
The biggest and worst lie since 2020

Perhaps all the deaths are for the best.
No one had a gun put to their head to get these death shots. If it succeeds in sterilizing the gullible and the ignorant then that can only be a positive development.
Anyone that dies from the death shots has succeeded in removing another individual who believed whatever tripe the government told them, and likely supported compelling those who refused to be murdered to be injected just like them. I remember the bellicose grunting of the covidiots who wanted to do all kinds of vile things to the purebloods, and would have if the fascists in the bureaucratic state had seen fit to allow them to do so. As it was, losing employment, pensions, savings, and the ability to participate in society has pretty much inured me to any pity or concern for the fate of anyone who allowed themselves to be injected for whatever reason. They can all die for all I care and the world would be improved by their departure from it.
Moon, it’s really not so simple.
I’m 75 (so 72 when the Covid measures started in the UK); retired, but do a couple of days a week volunteering in a charity shop, though they’ve never pressured me (or my salaried colleagues) to have the “vax”.
During the lockdowns (when the shop was closed), my partner and I continued to spend alternative weekends at each others’ homes; I used less conspicuous, and busy, means of transport (one can get from south to north London by suburban trains, though it takes longer than the Underground). She didn’t seem to understand the reason for this; looking back, I can see that her dementia (she’s older than me) was already taking hold; nowadays, she needs constant prompts just to get to my place, or meet in our usual pub midweek.
I’m not relating this tale to ask for sympathy, or say what a great person I am. Point is, I’m on immunosuppressants, so it seems sensible, on balance, for me to have the shots; she’s not, but she’s almost 81; I had my fifth jab in (I think) March; she had hers, at my urging, a month later.
This doesn’t mean I endorse compulsory jabs for anyone, and especially young people.
I can’t see what point you’re making. Knowing what is in the public domain, for you as someone with immune problems, I would have thought you would have avoided the vaxx.
You did so willingly, based upon your circumstances and what limited (and false) information was made available to you.
Neither my father, who is in his mid-eighties, or my mother, who is the same age as you, or indeed any of my siblings or their children got the death shot, and they all live in the absolute worst leftist infested states imaginable.
We never discussed this with each other during the plandemic, but independently came to the same conclusions based upon the same limited knowledge but mutual distrust of anything that is exclaimed from the pie holes of corrupt billionaires, vile bureaucrats, and abysmally ignorant actors, talking heads, and pop culture tools. In fact, the harder the screws were tightened to try and force this vile potion upon us, the more determined and sure we individually became in our resistance to it and the knowledge that we were making the correct choice.
If you think that the shot benefitted you then you’re entitled to your belief. I hope in your individual circumstance you were right and the benefit outweighed the risks. If, on the other hand you should happen to come down with some extremely rapidly progressing cancer, develop myocarditis, or die of “suddenly” then I’ll feel some sadness for the loss of a fellow commenter, but it will have been your choice.
My point is, that when the vile truth about the deadliness of these shots eventually comes out in a way that can no longer be hidden or denied, a lot of people who received them and tried to force others to receive them will try and say “But we didn’t know” to justify why they got the shot and why they tried to force it upon others and ostracized and did all manner of terrible things to those who wouldn’t bend the knee. And for those people and for those who were too weak and cared more about their employment, finances, pensions, comfort, and being part of the herd I will close off any feelings of pity or mercy and say “Good riddance” .
Unfortunately all the people who are forcing others to get the shots, haven’t had them themselves so the scum are allowed to breed unencumbered with vaxx induced disabilities.
Thanks, Cassandra and Moon, for your comments.
I should apologise for my meandering comment; I’d had a drink or two too many, and was feeling sorry for myself.
Being on immunosuppressants does leave one susceptible to all kinds of ailments; you should see the variety of moles, etc. on my skin. I had a large wart taken off my ear less than two weeks ago. Some years back, I was laid unusually low by ‘flu, but thought little of it until I went to the hospital for a routine checkup and the consultant started ringing round for a bed in an isolation ward.
So, on balance, it felt right to have the jabs, and urge my beloved to do the same. Also we’d have been unable to visit Liguria (NW Italy) in October ’20 without.
GERMANY : PEOPLE DROPPING DEAD
Must be Climate Change™ I guess.
Shootings, stabbings, drive-by shootings, torture. Multiple explosions in Berlin (just like in Sweden). Yesterday, a man™ threatened to throw a 24yo woman and her two small toddlers off a moving train. Not the African’s first offense.
Children stabbed a man in a supermarket in the neck.
Curious: And this is the 3rd woman who simply dropped dead in the same town in just three weeks.

Was it the stab wounds? The police are amazed at the brutality, as women are now kicked in the face when on the ground unconscious.
This is also noteworthy: A female Muslim university professor financed by the state just went on record telling the Germans they don’t own Germany.
“People don’t look like you. People don’t speak like you. People don’t eat what you eat. Well, guess what. Germany does not belong to the Germans.”

Lots of people earning off this. Frankfurt spent on average 500,000 USD for Asylum seeker translations last year.
While I believe history WILL demonstrate that the [experimental] mRNA “vaccine” DID come with some significant side-effects (especially, if the medic failed to aspirate the syringe PRIOR to pressing the plunger, [incorrectly] injecting the juice intravenously…but I digress), I remain ambivalent as to whether the more serious of them will pan out to’ve been due to the “vaccine” (I spent several years editing an FDA journal and I’ve seen it all before….many times).
I also can’t really blame most of the people who got vaxxed, because most have very busy lives and haven’t the time/knowledge/understanding to research every issue, including medical ones. That’s not an excuse, but it IS practical reality.
Further, at least in my case, both my pharmacist and medic—for whatever reasons—were PUSHING their patients to get vaxxed, BELIEVING it to be the best option for their patients. And most of the public lack ANY medical knowledge and, so, are pretty much left to “follow the science…and ‘experts'”. For the average guy on the street, that IS the most logical option. After all, most people are taught to listen to the experts, rather than DOING THEIR OWN RESEARCH FOR EVERY MEDICAL DECISION. So I think you’ve gotta give THE PUBLIC a bituva break for queuing rather than refusing to get vaxxed.
Just my $0.02.
p.s. I did not take the [experimental] mRNA “vaccine”.
