💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

How many four year olds do you think would be able to represent themselves in court, in another language, with no familiar faces nearby? Zero. It's zero.

The death of children due to an unsafe vaccine is a serious allegation. What the FDA is saying about the Covid vax is not based on fact.

FDA claims on COVID-19 vaccine safety are unsupported by reliable data – and could severely hinder vaccine access
The agency’s plan to change the well-established process for safety testing vaccines is not realistic.

We get vaccines to prevent disease and death—vaccines have saved countless lives. But despite the fact that the claim that vaccines cause autism has been debunked repeatedly, RFK Jr. continues to promote it, even now stating it on the CDC website.

A study with data from ~14 million children shows that COVID19 infection is significantly more harmful to kids’ hearts than the vaccine.
Marty Makary falsely alleged that “children died” because from COVID19 vaccine. Whomever told him that failed to account for SARS-CoV-2 infections.
