    Growth By The Tree Stump

    I cut down a smallish tree a few years ago (around 6" in diameter) and small growth has been coming up around it ever since. It is unsightly.

    Ingredients In The Covid Vaccine

    Has anyone read anywhere about how they are making these vaccines and what they are making them out of? It would seem to me that the climate of the people in America would make people demand transparency from the pharmaceuticals as to what is in the vaccines.
