Best Lock Down Ever

[Leon Goldstein]

Dr. Fauci, the Ayatollah  of Wuhan* virus, told a reporter that he takes 
a vitamin d supplement of 6000 IU every day.  That is ten times the 
daily recommended dose.  Worse than vitamin D deficiency is vitamin D 
overdose.  It causes all  sorts  of problems.  So the nation's leading 
expert is oblivious to some basic medicine knowledge.


* I don't play the "PC" game.  Seems that our pols are more worried 
about offending China than serving us.
