And in top categories across the multimedia range. We’ve only been going four years, and one of the smallest courses up against all the big guns.

The NHS is under intense strain in the UK. This is the privatised alternative.
My kid has a thing that requires a blood test few months. Today was test day so we went to the lab that we always go to. & because one insurance code on the blood test order was wrong I was given the choice of rescheduling the appointment until I get a code or paying the non-insurance price $600

US media is taking this very seriously—and I have to think it's partly because it knows the incoming Trump administration has absolutely no interest in protecting Americans from another pandemic and would happily let tens of millions of Americans die to make it look tough-on-vaccines to its cultists

It’s literally spelled out in paragraph six
