Today I suddenly received revised test results and this time they did include an M-protein report. It wasn't zero. It was 0.12. As ...continue reading "Health update β not so good this time"

Half of all Republicans think COVID vaccine is unsafe
This is completely nuts: Only 52% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine is safe. The conservative politicians and conservative media that created this situation should be utterly ashamed of themselves. And to what end? It isn't even a partisan issue.
