Have you heard the one about the fly that walked into a flower?
When a pollen-bearing fly enters the flower of an Aristilochia (like this A. samarensis), the journey is 1-way: Downward-pointing hairs prevent escape. The flower is in the female phase, so the stigma picks up the pollen from the fly.

Society needs diagnostics to prove (without a doubt) that vascular damage is being caused by COVID infection (not the vaccines).
This will help stabilize societal understanding re: vaccine benefit vs risk.
Learning of many people who also have had recent MIs but blame them on the vaccine🤯😔
