For one, it's a massive conflict of interest. Many donations aren't just donations - they often establish mutually beneficial relationships, like where the beneficiary puts the donor's name on a building and gives them name recognition, which helps the donor grow a business that's funding their criminal activities, or gives them political clout which makes them less likely to be criminally investigated. It might also create a money laundering opportunity by giving them tax breaks. I'm sure there's other reasons I'm not thinking of.

The flu shot is basically a scam. People often dont get enough Vitamin D during the winter in the US and other countries similar distances or further from the equator. Not rocket science.

i've never got a flu shot and have never caught the flu. I also get plenty of vitamin D daily .... didn't know that made a difference though.

I don't think I was specifically aware of some connection between VitD and flu; I usually up my VitC in response to any possible onset of flu symptoms or in response to flu exposure. But I take a D supplement already. If you read through the technical information (or not even), the flu shot is a massive scam unless maybe, you are a most sickly person, and refuse to get healthy versus getting a shot. Even then it's a coin flip at best.

Anybody else think it's somewhat curious that Greta Thunberg is being touted as this great voice of rebellion, for shitting on the elites and politicians, telling them off and so on, at events hosted by these same people, as they applaud to her scornful speeches?
It's like one of those unrealistic movies where some guy goes to a corporate board meeting and gives them what-for, and afterwards they stand and clap and then make him the CEO or some random shit.

Apparently a death metal remix of Greta's speech went viral and got millions of views:

I love it. The Democratic elites are doing the same shit to Bernie that they did back in 2016, shitting on him, calling him and his supporters sexists etc. Bernie, the absolute cuckold, a sexist? They're doing all they can to hand the election to Trump again.
