Covid everywhere again... high fevers, coughs, and I've heard already of two cases of vertigo (probably ear-related or brain-related). People are not being told, and they don't tell themselves either, that there is not such a thing as acquiring immunity to sars2.

The billionaire tech bro oligarchs are causing huge damage to societies around the world. They buy influence on govs who in return, give favourable treatment through tax cuts & fewer protections for citizens. Gina Rinehart has bought Pauline Hanson & 🤡N. What do you think will happen here?

Australian tax payers are funding a $150k to $180k salary for Pauline Hanson’s daughter Lee Hanson, to work as an advisor to a NSW 🤡N senator. LEE HANSON LIVES IN TASMANIA! She is campaigning in Tasmania for 🤡N! How is this an ethical use of tax payer’s money?
