Even 5B for a novel, and uniquely powerful observation platform would be a bargain! When you are engineering a unit of 1 pushing the boundaries of science, with multiple conflicting constraints, funded by a variety of self-interested stakeh

This is not an issue around the safety of Ivermectin, as it is an incredibly well-known drug that is now off patent. This is a discussion around efficacy. It is similar to the MD asks around using a Zpak for Covid.

The civil liberties background of Harvey Silverglate, one of the founders of FIRE, is quite interesting. Apparently he used to be with the ACLU until they switched direction. Source(s): http://www.harveysilverglate.com/abou

Similar to your own refined sensibilities, I find the idea of a rare weekend brunch without at least one fruity mimosa, or two, or three, quite disappointing. Or celebrating New Years without a perfectly crisp champagne, or prosecco. Prefe
