#Pakistan is one clear, decades-long example of this.
We create and maintain the "problem", then demonize our victims, everywhere in the world.
"Divorcing mainstream #American #news #media, an institution, from the institutions of #AmericanPower, like #ForeignPolicy, requires an entire remanufacturing of the #NewsIndustry itself."

Come and get it! If you can afford it 🤬
The #COVID #XBB #variant family #booster approved in the #US for everyone older than 5 and will start being available by the end of this week. Price will be an obscene $100 per dose.
#Health "#insurance" *should* cover the cost, in-network, but we know how insurance finds ways to not ensure our health.
Good news is "It is likely that the XBB.1.5 #monovalent #vaccines will raise #antibodies against all the circulating variants"
