> Federal support for mRNA vaccine research appears in jeopardy after KFF Health News reported Sunday that officials at the National Institutes of Health have directed scientists to remove all references to the lifesaving technology from their grant applications.

The only 2 countries on Earth - USA and China.

You don't have to choose between oligarchy and communism. There's normal countries out there.

Yes, lets go back to how it was in the 20s and 30s in the United Sates... Said noone ever. I wish I had a time machine for these people.
