Chambers made the comments as part of the Truth For Health Foundation’s ninth online conference, which saw the announcement of the Foundation’s new global reporting system for COVID jab injuries. ...

Immergut ruled. “Protest medics may continue to protest, and provide medical aid during the protests. They simply have no unique status under the First...
