The public does not have the right to know patient traits. They have the right to demand public health do its actual job and provide details on what is being done to remove future risk and what actions and behaviours the public can take to avoid infection for themselves. End

My coworker
who loves the autumn
was in a dejected mood,
and when I asked what was wrong
she told me there’s something off
with the pumpkin things this year
they don’t taste or smell right,
and though she’s been sick,
she’s sure
all of the companies
must have changed something.

Vaccines are not accessible if they are unaffordable. Every state needs to follow their lead!

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
