RFK spouting the nonsense that Covid 19 resulted from a lab leak of a modified virus. This did not happen. The science is there to prove it. 🧪

Headlines is several newspapers today say that chlorine in tap water causes a massive 33% increase in relative risk of Bladder Cancer. 18 people per 100K get bladder cancer each year so this number now goes to 24 per 100K. Hardly something to worry about! 🧪
