Tem muita gente com problemas debilitantes após 3 anos, a maioria não associa o início do problema à vassassina.

Imagino que o faturamento de hospitais e médicos com tratamentos de cânceres e outros problemas tenha disparado.

Algum insider aí para confirmar?

Yesterday my best friends fiancé went in to have a tumor removed from his brain. It had been causing hearing loss and other unexplained symptoms, and was discovered by accident when a routine appendectomy had complications that caused him to flatline.

The silver lining of that intense moment was discovering the tumor so it could be removed before additional, irreversible problems developed.

The surgery took 14 hours, but it seems everything went as well as it could have gone. He’s got a lot of recovery ahead.

I’ll say that these real world examples of things that at face value seem bad but over time prove to be a blessing are why I believe in a higher power. Even if I’m not so sure about religion itself.

Miracles happen. 🙏

I’ve just come over from Reddit where a sub I used to frequent had a pretty bad day yesterday. The community points that Reddit had rolled out and with which many users were earning money as well as investing money into was abruptly cancelled. A huge sell off resulted and someone posted nostr as a possible alternative to those people affected. Interesting concept - thanks user rayfin on Reddit for introducing it to me

You forgot to say sorry first.
