That's because they are NOT vaccines!

I hate that they changed the definition of the term to incorporate those mRNA products, which is orwellian.

"I just about cancelled my subscription, but figured I'd give them one more chance. This is that final nail, worst bundle ever. And they are continually funding far left or globalist groups. My money is not going to fund my own destruction at the hands of the elite. Charity of the month was Oceana, the one headed by people like Ghislaine Maxwell, partner of Jeffrey Epstien. Yeah this ends my support of Humble Bundle. I emailed them last month about

"Lol - Populists aren't going anywhere. This article is wishful thinking. When someone uses the term "populist" I understand it as people opposing a semi-permanent political class that enacts policies for the benefit of big corporations, billionaire elites, and the slow erosion of national sovereignty (which would further remove government from the influence of the people ruled over by it).

"Ah, the joys of the American healthcare system!"

schestowitz

"Until my 12 1/2 year old son died, I never realized that insurance would not cover lab work to see why he died, or the multiple autopsies it took. It also doesn't cover the medical detective work it took to find out whether my three remaining children, my husband or I, had the same sudden arrhythmic syndrome that is suspected to have taken Daniel. The hospital system did eat the fee for the intensive care helicopter they sent to our farm that day.

schestowitz

Insurance is only good while you are using it minimally. When a medical disaster happens, no insurance company will stand with you."

"So sorry to hear about your loss."
