ADHD is the largest treatable cause of unemployment.
Of suicide.
Of accidents.
Of violent crime.
Of drug addiction.
Of poverty.
Yet less than 1 in 20 people who have it who are over 40 are diagnosed, and the current system will never diagnose even 1 in 10 of them.

More than 1000 kids died from Covid in 2020-2022, and nearly 6 million have long covid. I don’t have kids, but this government is trying to kill yours.
Stop collaborating by downplaying Covid as a risk.
Stop collaborating by downplaying Covid as a risk.
Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.
FDA to impose strict new vaccine requirements, claiming child covid shot deaths
Vinay Prasad, the nation’s top vaccine regulator, said his team concluded that coronavirus shots were linked to children’s deaths, necessitating a new approach.

Allegedly Prasad is now going to put limits on how many vaccines can be given simultaneously, re assess annual flu-shot policies, change the process for vax approval to be longer and demand tight restrictions on pregnant women being able to have any vaccines 🧪🧵#PublicHealth

The 3rd chapter of A.A. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" is titled
"In which Pooh & Piglet Go Hunting & Nearly Catch a Woozle."
The characters find footprints in the snow, deduce the presence of a 'Woozle,' which they track.
But they're tracking their own footprints.
Let's talk about 'WOOZLE EFFECT'.

I’m going to be clear. In my opinion, none of these people can be trusted. Prasad and Hoeg made their careers out of an agenda to take down COVID19 vaccines.
It is so incredibly dangerous to have these people at the FDA. They are a threat to the entire U.S. vaccination program.

Aerosol transmission of the SARSCoV2 virus = the dominant route for transmitting COVID-19.
Latest England data report obscures what may be happening, fewer tests for the virus, even fewer being reported.
Meanwhile, 1,602 patients in hospital for daily count of confirmed COVID-19 patients on 31 Oct.
