Here are a few little mice models I have made. I have listed unpainted versions of these on Etsy (link below). They were a lot of fun to make and are fun to paint!

The evidence is overwhelming. Surgical masks were not designed to protect against respiratory infection & are vastly inferior to respirators. For the WHO's advice not to reflect this is indefensible & dangerous. Please sign & share - open to scientists, doctors, patient advocate organisations, etc.

Doctors & scientists urge WHO: N95s—not surgical masks—must be the standard in healthcare.

Let me get this straight….

If we want to eat or have healthcare, we have to work more.

We have to “be productive”.

Yet according to this image only white men are welcome in the American labor force.

Do the rest of us starve? Or are these men feeding us?
