Finally, the truth about the vaccines is out!

Where I live there is a big construction site. At the entrance, there is a board saying “There was no accident on this site for X days”. Each morning an employee changes the numbers to show even a higher one. If at the entrance to Poland there was a board measuring number of days since […]
