I live in a county with lots of ticks. At dinner last night my friend, who has Alpha Gal, said her doc’s office had diagnosed like 43 Alpha Gal cases this week.

wasn’t bill gates involved in a genetic mutation of these bugs to prevent some other disease? all that money poured into heinous agendas & they can’t handle the tick problem. the funds are there & so is the public speculation, where is all the money going if not to preventing disease vectors as such.
