Thanks Ken for the information you provided. Yes, we should absolutely demand more...thing of it is so many people are not given the correct and real knowledge...all based on what they watch and are told...no critical thinking..no questions in their minds...they see what they see, believe what they see and hear and also are told by their doctors, oncologists, etc. what to think and what to believe and what to do (vaccine). I did not and will not ever get any vaccine..injecting something into ones body that is 100% foreign substance does not, in my mind, make sense. Our immune systems are already beyond compromised, not to mention many of us have other cormodities which further complicates the immune system. If the medical field, was, however, truthful (not out for profit), then of course, things for all of us would be very very different.

However, the virus is devious and facile so it managed to change and evade the killing effect of this drug so it was withdrawn from the market.
