But if the mainstream media continues to collude with the government in its illegal campaign against so-called “mis, mal and disinformation,” it’s time to support alternatives, including GETTR, GAB, MeWe, and Substack.

Raymond J. March (AIER)
Covid-19, Delta, now Omicron and its subvariants—the list will go on. Because viruses mutate. It’s that simple. Also simple? Success in the battle against the pandemic among the most vulnerable has overwhelmingly come from therapeutics invented by private-sector companies.
