Norovirus is a cool virus because it doesn't have a lipid envelope. That means it’s an incredibly sturdy virus. In addition to causing violent vomiting, diarrhea, & stomach cramping, it can be shed in stool for 2 weeks, AND hand sanitizers are ineffective. FUN! 1/

• Vaccines don’t cause autism. • COVID-19 vaccines aren’t killing kids. • COVID-19 *is* the leading infectious cause of death in children. The CDC & FDA have been taken over by wellness grifters. Posting lies as “truth” doesn’t make them true—it makes them propaganda.
