Вы в курсе, что незнание не освобождает от уголовной ответственности за неоказание умершим компетентной помощи и мошенническое применение дорогих бесполезных (доказано на опыте) технологий,начиная от лекарств и заканчивая нарушениями прав и свобод людей с экономическими потерями?

Надо Маску сказать, чтобы научил ИИ распознавать болезни по визуальным признакам. Как правильно обученные протоколу осмотров врачи. Лечить правильно тоже не умеете. Во всех ваших протоколах сплошное вредительство (уже доказано на практике), кроме О2, как последнего шанса выжить.

Аж зависть гложет. Такие деньжищи за то, что безграмотный дебил поколупался ватной палочкой в носу, во рту. Дикари средневековые. Любой CoVID определяется без проблем по визуальным признакам. Даже не спутаешь с Парамиксовирусами, или Герпесами. И даже какие инфекции там ещё есть.

Boo. Use that money on people. Why dump it into the pockets of a CEO

But the right Healthcare system was not still created neither in Revolutionary America, dear 🇺🇸Government❤️🇺🇸❤️
