Infections were responsible for 2.3 million new cancer cases in 2024, 12% of total global cases that year, a study has found.
The research found Helicobacter pylori to be the leading infectious cause of cancer

The reason Long Covid doesn’t have funding is that governments don’t give a shit about disease.
That’s it. No group to blame, no conspiracy. They just don’t care and never have.
As an entire world, we spend 0.1% of GDP a year on disease research. That’s EVERY disease, combined.

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.
There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government

"We'll take ICE out of the state if you hand over your voter rolls" should tell you all you need to know about why they are doing this in blue states.

The safest thing for any American civilian to do at this point is to assume that every ICE or CBP agent you encounter is a pardoned violent January 6 insurrectionist with demonstrated homicidal urges toward those they disagree with politically and choose your actions accordingly.

They shot Renee Good in the face.
They kidnapped Liam Ramos.
They just executed a man on the street.
Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.
