QED.
Also, feel free not to give a shit as we mask up injecting ourselves and our families against a virus that likely comes from the same exact people with almost no independent secure PhDs to stand up to the gerontocracy at @NIH, NIAID. That’s the cost of cheap science.

I’m not making this up: it called that “This pessimistic scenario” and erased the demand curves to try to flood the market via [[IMMACT90]].
 
Come: Debunk me.
