The thing about the UCP convention crowd who booed Smith’s comments about 🇨🇦 working because of a pipeline is that these folks would vote against their own economic interests in order to keep their hate alive.
I doubt they can be ever be reached.
And I hope Smith finds out that they can’t.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics represented a huge step in medicine.
Viruses have so far eluded a similar approach and require targeted medicines.
That might be about to change! Broad spectrum antivirals would be a HUGE STEP in healthcare, both for prevention and treatment.
