THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️

Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.

He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted. pic.twitter.com/bsNo7uLwjp

Removing mask mandates is antiBlack racist policy (systemic). And choosing to not wear masks is racist behavior (individual).
