Donald #Trump will sue the #BBC for $1 Billion due to reporting inaccuracies. I am wondering:
1. Can we launch a global suit #suing #Trump for promoting false information that has detrimental & long lasting consequences?
2. How can we oblige #politicians to uphold the same standards?

Might be a good idea to extend Covid vaccines to those of childbearing age.
Children exposed to COVID in utero had developmental delays at age 24 months:
🧠36% cognitive delays
🗣️64% communication delays
🏃57% had motor delays
🧪 Specific developmental delays were related to specific inflammation cytokines found in their cord blood at birth. buff.ly/AQSfBm9
