That is a loss of money and many jobs for my small business because she has no hope that either party in the US believe in her right to exist.

The only way to have true dietary protein deficiency (kwashiorkor) is to eat a diet of nearly 100% starchy potatoes like they did in some areas of coastal Ghana. This causes the belly to bloat with edema. There have been zero cases of this happening in first world countries.

low blood protein is not related to diet. The only four causes are kidney disease (protein losing nephropathy), liver disease (the liver makes albumin/protein), intestinal disease (protein losing enteropathy), and severe skin burns. If your albumin is on the low end of the normal range, it's normal!

Our Constitution says we elect our candidate with a primary. The DNC did not allow one. They chose a candidate that didn't even make the top ten of the previous primary. If we wanted to win, we should have had a primary and chosen the candidate that was the most popular with voters.

It provides partial protection against more severe outcomes and death for the person vaccinated. It does not provide partial protection against transmission.

Yes, I am pro vaccines. I think they should be required for travel. The MMR is nearly 100% preventative against the measles, and should be required for travel. The COVID vaccine is not effective at all against transmission, so caring about that but not MMR for travel seems odd.
