About a week and a half ago, the office of the US Attorney in the Eastern District of Michigan put out a press release bragging that they were charging a government virologist working at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) with smuggling clade I mpox (monkeypox) virus (MPXV) into the US and then lying about it.
Only one problem: this is demonstrably untrue.
The virologists being accused are my longtime friend and collaborator Vincent Munster and his postdoctoral colleague Claude Kwe. I’ve worked with Vincent since MERS-CoV emerged in 2012. My initial reaction was to wonder why he would need to smuggle clade I mpox when he literally works in a maximum containment Select Agent lab run by NIAID. He already has clade I mpox virus in his freezer. I then wondered how he could possibly be smuggling deadly viral pathogens into the country when Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials celebrating this historic bust said repeatedly in their press release that the samples were “deactivated.” That means non-infectious. You cannot make infectious MPXV from an inactivated sample that contains viral DNA. You cannot make infectious MPXV even if you have lots of viral DNA. It is not possible to reconstitute infectious orthopoxviruses from DNA alone.
They did not commit the crimes they are charged with. This is why.
What actually happened?
This has been hard to figure out, because despite reading the complaint repeatedly, I am unable to find any evidence of a crime. I’m not a lawyer, but I have been working with Select Agents and high consequence pathogens for 15 years. I held Select Agent clearance from 2016-2022, and currently hold the Canadian equivalent under the Human Pathogens and Toxins Act (HPTA). I take the legal, biosafety, and biosecurity concerns extremely seriously, including my own obligations to ensure that I am not only compliant, but proactive about ensuring that I am following the law and maximizing safety. I know exactly how dangerous the viruses I study are, which is why I study them. I want to make them less dangerous. I want to give us better defenses against them. I want to eradicate them, if that is possible.
I assumed that laws and regulations governing biosafety were to protect researchers and society from the risks that these viruses present. The current regime believes that the viruses are not the risk to worry about. The virologists studying them are.
I haven’t spoken to Vincent about anything except our collaborative scientific work since Trump became president. I already knew he was being targeted by the administration and its allies. I have not heard his side of the story or even asked him about it. I haven’t heard his firsthand account. I have not asked any of my colleagues at NIAID about it. I don’t want to put anyone at risk of further retaliation, as the entire facility is being scrutinized by their own Senator. Rather than defend his constituents’ interests, he was inspired by sentient Mar-a-Lago edition Real Doll Laura Loomer and the far-right extremists who masquerade as animal rights activists at White Coat Waste to vomit up this letter to the Inspector General of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
According to the press release, the complaint, and Jon Cohen from Science’s reliably excellent reporting, Vincent and Kwe were called for secondary screening by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) when they landed in Detroit after a trip to the Republic of Congo (ROC). Vincent and Kwe separately told CBP officers that the samples were for diagnostics and genomic surveillance. They were. The complaint actually demonstrates that. But in the current regime, they are being charged anyway.
I’ll be even more clear about what I am saying: the government proved they did not commit the crimes listed here and charged and arrested them anyway. This should scare the hell out of every American.
What are the charges?
Despite the dedicated detectives of Kash Patel’s FBI and Todd Blanche’s DOJ special counterterrorism unit patting each other’s backs for a job well done and pathogen smuggling averted, they didn’t actually charge them with that. There was clearly no pathogen smuggling, since these samples did not contain an infectious pathogen and there is no way to make a pathogen directly with this material. They didn’t even charge them with lying about pathogen smuggling, since they weren’t smuggling pathogens. Because they didn’t do either of those things.
There are two charges:
18 U.S.C. §§ 371 and 545. Conspiracy to Import Merchandise Contrary to Law (this is because they could not charge them with smuggling in MPXV because they didn’t)
18 U.S.C. § 1001. False Statements (supposedly lying about it to CBP officers that the samples were being used for diagnostics)
The problem here is that they are implying that Vincent was trying to sneak in new strains of mpox virus to the US for unauthorized dangerous gain of function (DGOF) research. DGOF is what the Trump regime calls research that makes a virus more transmissible, stable, pathogenic, drug resistant, or immune evasive.
In reality it is a pretext for punishing researchers they don’t like, mostly by cutting their funding or firing them, per last year’s Executive Order on Improving the Safety and Security of Biological Research. In order to do DGOF you need to have the virus or a way to reconstitute the infectious virus from its genetic material (this is also called reverse genetics). You cannot do this with MPXV.
Vincent works in a federally-operated maximum containment lab that has plenty of clade I MPXV and has held a valid security clearance for at least 15 years. He wouldn’t need to smuggle the virus into the country and if he tried to do it this way, he would not actually be able to recover the virus from the genome, at least not without using a helper virus and going through a lot of technical trouble from a molecular virology perspective. Too much trouble to go through if you’ve already got the virus. It’s almost like they really were only planning on using the samples for diagnostics (PCR and genomic sequencing), just like they told the CBP inspectors.
What is the evidence?
Clade I mpox virus is a Select Agent, which mean its handling and regulation is governed by federal law. This is detailed in the amended complaint. Select Agent exemptions are very clear: if a pathogen is inactivated and cannot be reconstituted directly from its genomic material (in the case of MPXV, its DNA). Once inactivated, it is exempt from Select Agent regulations. It is also not considered an agricultural pathogen, so it is not regulated by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The inactivation procedure that was used (QIAGEN AVL buffer plus ethanol; EtOH) is used extensively because it’s very effective at inactivating at pretty much every virus I’ve ever heard of. Inactivation is reproducible. Everyone’s results are the same.
Extensive validation experiments are required to prove that inactivation was successful. Every lab has to conduct documented validation studies, regardless of whether another lab has done so. They take forever, but it is important, and it is required. AVL+EtOH has been tested almost everywhere with the same results: it inactivates MPXV. Vincent showed that AVL+EtOH works to inactivate MPXV in 2022, because he published it. These samples were not infectious.
Furthermore, these samples were going to be used for diagnostics and genomic sequencing. They can’t be used for anything besides molecular diagnostics and sequencing because they are inactivated. The complaint describes that their collaborator had invited them to Congo to do diagnostics and sequencing. Vincent and Kwe have published multiple high impact papers using inactivated samples for this exact purpose with their Congolese collaborators. As Vincent and Kwe both told CBP officers consistently, they were there to help set up diagnostics and control the mpox outbreak.
To me, the biggest tell that these charges are pretextual bullshit is what they didn’t charge them with: violating Select Agent law or actually smuggling in a pathogen. They couldn’t charge them with that, so they instead cooked up this conspiracy and lying nonsense.
Vincent has a long history of this type of work. He deployed multiple times to West Africa during the largest Ebola outbreak in history to support diagnostics, which was a great need at the time. He wrote about the need for more in-country diagnostic capacity in outbreak control in the New England Journal of Medicine. He wrote about how delayed diagnosis and lack of surveillance prolonged Ebola outbreaks and their consequences.
In 2018, he deployed to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to assist with diagnostic testing in the second-largest Ebola outbreak in history. This was in North Kivu, in the same war-torn region that the current Bundibugyo virus (also an ebolavirus) outbreak is occurring. Working in this environment is incredibly dangerous for health workers, as there is a civil war, deep distrust of international aid and health workers, and a lack of resources that allow Ebola to spread like wildfire.
In crises, Vincent runs into the fire, bringing desperately needed diagnostic capacity, no matter the danger to himself. He would probably be responding to the current Bundibugyo virus outbreak. Colleagues like Vincent and Kwe are heroes for doing this courageous and necessary work. Their unjust arrest is yet another way that the US has actively hindered containment of what I suspect will become the largest ebolavirus outbreak in history due to delayed detection and a lack of diagnostics.
Did they do anything wrong?
From what I can tell, Vincent may have broken one rule concerning the paperwork he was required to carry.
It’s unclear from the complaint if Vincent had the full set of paperwork on him. The sample manifest was clearly provided to the FBI, and they have wasted probably hundreds of thousands of tax dollars testing these samples to confirm they are inactivated in AVL+EtOH, which the crack science detectives at the FBI lab are slowly determining for all 113 samples. but I don’t know if he had a certification statement.
I’m not a lawyer but the charges are conspiracy to import inactivated samples, which suggests that Vincent and Kwe plotted how to sneak these samples past customs and then lied to CBP about it. It’s unclear why Vincent would do that, considering the requirements for transporting inactivated clade I MPXV are basically paperwork and the samples don’t present any kind of safety risk. They clearly did not lie about what the samples were. Vincent was cavalier in telling the CBP officers that he had everything on his laptop, and perhaps he didn’t have a certificate (that he would sign himself), but that doesn’t seem like it rises to the standard of the crime of “pathogen smuggling.” Nobody should face federal charges for failing to provide a piece of paper, when there was no demonstrable risk at any time.
This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last
I am aware of four other colleagues who have been questioned about whether they were transporting viruses or plasmids when entering the US. The last time I learned about this, I was in flight on the way home from the same conference which I had invited my colleague, an extremely well-respected, very senior virologist, to speak at. I have never been to a virology conference where people had actual viruses or plasmids. Despite the many misconceptions and outright lies about our professions, virologists actually leave viruses and other samples in the lab where they belong and don’t bring them to conferences to trade like baseball cards. At virology conferences, the only viruses present are depicted on PowerPoint slides.
Other scientists have been investigated, arrested, charged, and convicted for bringing biological samples into the US without authorization or proper paperwork. Most are foreign nationals. I can’t comment on the details of these cases, as I don’t know the accused and they are not in my field. It’s clear that scientists are being heavily scrutinized at the border, particularly if they are not from the US. While I believe that it is absolutely crucial to have robust laws and oversight controlling importation of biological materials into the country, I wonder how many of these charges are based on a good faith effort by DOJ to differentiate paperwork mistakes or human error from actual violations of the law. How many of these cases are legitimate and how many are the result of our government fabricating reasons to imprison (and deport, in many cases) scientists to achieve MAGA political goals?
A couple of months ago, my friend and colleague David Morens was indicted by DOJ. David did commit a crime by attempting to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by asking people to use his Gmail rather than his NIAID email in several email threads, one of which I was a part of.
I was a witness to this crime, as I received one of the emails making this request (I did not reply or agree to this). The email thread was not related to “COVID-19 research grants.” The emails were expressing frustration about the discourse on the origins of the pandemic, some of which were conspiracies involving NIH grants. It was not anything sinister (the emails are all public and have been for years). We were shit-talking lab leak conspiracists.
The punishment should fit the crime, provided there is a crime. Was David such a threat that he required two SWAT teams to arrest, strip, and perp-walk a 78-year-old career public servant during his morning coffee? It was wrong for David to try and evade public records laws. But does it merit almost 60 years in federal prison, which is what David is facing?
In my opinion as both a scientist and an American, it does not.
Consider the sources
Of course the luminaries of lab leak hellsite discourse have come out swinging. David Asher, whose career has ping-ponged back and forth between spreading conspiracy theories about the origin of COVID at the Hudson Institute and the State Department, once advanced one of my favorite deranged COVID-19 origin hypotheses: a bat fucked a pangolin bedbug-style and the baby that resulted was SARS-CoV-2.
Unsurprisingly, Asher has thoughts on this “bio-criminal conspiracy” and that virology research represents “an existential threat to US public health.” I’d argue that the regime’s attempts to eviscerate our national response capacity, steal the entire Congressionally appropriated budget for research, and lock up our nation’s most accomplished scientists for purely political reasons is the more significant threat to US public health. But hey, it’s a free country…or at least it used to be.
Indeed, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is a doctor. He is an ophthalmologist whose libertarian ways have precluded his membership in a conventional medical board, so he started his own. His own self-issued board certification can never be revoked for promoting anti-scientific conspiracy theories about the COVID pandemic and vaccines, as he routinely does at venues like last November’s Children’s Health Defense conference and the MAHA Action Zoom calls that you can join every Wednesday should you be a masochist like myself.
Paul believes the government should stay out of people’s business when it comes to their medical decisions and their private lives. He loathes government overreach and adores liberty. Except, of course, when government overreach serves his agenda and civil liberties get in the way of his political goals.
For a libertarian, Paul is unusually committed to abusing every ounce of government power at his disposal to prosecute his political foes and anyone who happens to be useful for achieving his political goals. He dropped this set of “NEW DOCUMENTS” (emails taken out of context) that supposedly prove that Vincent and his colleagues at NIAID and elsewhere played fast and loose with shipments for years. Note that these complaints specifically focus on a researcher from EcoHealth Alliance and University of North Carolina virologist Ralph Baric.
This supposed proof merely shows that, as the law, regulations, and institutional practices dictate, even inactivated pathogens must be shipped using specific protocols. We do not routinely drop samples in the mail. That means a lot of paperwork. It also means constant evaluation of the effectiveness of these practices when a mistake happens or a gap in safety, security, or oversight is identified, protocols are developed or revised to maximize risk mitigation. These documents show researchers navigating the complexities of shipping samples and making sure they complied with the law and with regulations. Yes, they show paperwork mistakes. They also show those mistakes being proactively corrected.
Paul is dragging Fauci in for a transcribed interview at the end of this month with the Senate Homeland Security and Government Accountability Committee (HSGAC). Ranking HSGAC member Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) wrote a letter protesting that Democrats had been entirely excluded from this process.
I guess it will be hard to harvest potentially incriminating quotes from Fauci to fabricate evidence of wrongdoing if there are Democrats around to ask questions at the same time. I know that the Republicans claim to want transparency and honesty. This doesn’t seem very transparent or honest, given that Peters notes it is completely unprecedented in HSGAC’s history.
Paul hates Fauci, probably because Fauci is competent and honest and Paul is not. Paul demonstrably does not understand (or pretends not to understand) how virology works. This escalated after Fauci legendarily told Paul that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and called him a liar while testifying before the Senate Health, Labor, Education, and Pensions (HELP) committee in 2022.
Paul has a vendetta against Fauci, so he is alleging that Fauci is the biggest DGOF virologist in the game. This is likely to find a pretext to prosecute Fauci for a crime not covered by President Joseph Biden’s preemptive pardon (granted to Fauci because of anticipated unfair prosecution). Paul can’t nail Fauci on anything that happened in the past, but that pardon does not cover any new “crimes” Fauci might commit. The back and forth about who is lying in 2022 is instructive in this regard.
By forcing Fauci to give a transcribed interview about Vincent and Kwe (and likely Ralph and EcoHealth Alliance and their grants) in a closed door setting with nobody present from the minority party, Paul is setting Fauci up for charges of perjury. This is, for Rand Paul, about revenge. But it’s about more than that. A lot more.
It is about sticking a knife into the heart of American democracy.
What is the endgame?
You might wonder why I’ve been avoiding having substantive conversations with my colleagues at NIAID, and especially Vincent. I believe that the administration is going to accuse Vincent and Ralph of starting the COVID-19 pandemic with Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance and Zhengli Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). As best as I can tell, Paul thinks that Vincent and Ralph, who is one of the most accomplished molecular coronavirologists in the world if not in history, DGOFed up the virus. After getting proto-SARS-CoV-2 from WIV via EcoHealth Alliance, Ralph cloned the virus and inserted a furin cleavage site to make it more transmissible and pathogenic and Vincent serially passaged it through Rousettus aegyptiacus (Egyptian fruit bats). This is based exclusively on imaginative interpretation of cherry-picked emails from early 2020 in which Vincent was discussing the possibility of experimentally infecting R. aegyptiacus to study pathogenesis in a bat host, not serial passage. There’s also no reason to think serial passage would somehow result in a pandemic virus. Last I checked, February 2020 is too late to have made SARS-CoV-2 since the pandemic had already started by then. There’s no explanation about how, if Ralph and Vincent did make SARS-CoV-2, the virus somehow found its way back to Wuhan from North Carolina and Montana. There is no evidence any of this happened.
It won’t stop there. My friends and colleagues Kristian Andersen and Robert Garry may be accused of covering it up at former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci’s request. I may be accused of aiding the cover-up as well, along with co-authors on our papers showing repeatedly that the pandemic began via two zoonotic spillovers at the Huanan Seafood Market due to the wildlife trade, not a “lab leak.” I’ve discussed this before, but I wrote an explainer of what the evidence actually shows.
Five Reasons Why It Still Wasn't a Lab Leak
I haven’t been feeling well lately and haven’t been up to throwing as many punches at fascists as I’d like, which is also why it’s taken a few days—okay, more than a week—to get this up. However, when I learned that Lord Matt Ridley had been i…
What does any of this have to do with false charges about improperly shipping MPXV samples? Nothing, except it will be added to the pile of fake evidence against virology as a professional field: we are reckless “virus hunters” who disregard common sense safety regulations so that we can do our beloved DGOF at any cost, even if it means starting another pandemic. Except there won’t be a pandemic from inactivated MPXV samples (or a clade I MPXV outbreak), because these samples aren’t infectious and there is no way to reconstitute virus from them. Vincent and Kwe didn’t smuggle MPXV or any other virus into the US. These samples do not present an infectious threat. You could drink them and not get infected (although I don’t recommend that given that nucleic acid extraction buffers contain chemicals that could still poison you, even if they don’t cause infections).
If there were paperwork errors, that does not suggest a conspiracy. It is not the tip of the iceberg of a much larger effort by virologists to circumvent the rules so we can constantly endanger the public by playing god with reverse genetics and serial passage and all the other idiotic hypotheses the armchair biosecurity experts and self-interested posers comprising the lab leak community have offered. Vincent is not a “mad scientist.” He is an extraordinary scientist who has contributed immensely to controlling outbreaks of the worst viral pathogens imaginable. He has given American taxpayers a huge return on their investment. Vincent and Kwe should be celebrated for their efforts to make the world a safer and healthier place, not stripped of their civil rights, reputation, livelihood, and freedom.
This is what terrifies me. Not that lab leaks are happening all the time because reckless virologists just can’t quit the reckless virology, but because they are being charged for nothing in order to help justify Trump’s efforts to tighten his authoritarian grip on our nation. If virology research is so dangerous and causes lab leaks all the time, ban it. But other types of research are dangerous too. We should also ban that. Even if it’s not related to infectious disease at all…we can’t be too careful! Scientists are corrupt. They are criminals. They are engaged in a conspiracy to undermine Trump’s Golden Age or whatever the hell they are calling the nightmare that this administration has forced upon the world.
The lab leak itself is a pretext to defy the constitution, steal the entire federal Congressionally appropriated budget, consolidate power in the Executive Branch, and destroy American democracy. Vincent and Kwe are convenient scapegoats to help further this goal.
Make your choice
I have worked with Vincent Munster for 15 years. I’ve been to his home. I have published multiple papers with Vincent. I’ve hung out with him and his wife, both of whom are my colleagues, collaborators, and friends, on multiple continents. I’ve seen Vincent wearing lederhosen (I know he’s Dutch, but he likes beer and celebrates Oktoberfest). He has told me I am entertaining, which is a big compliment because many of our colleagues are not. There are worse things than having a reputation for being both fun and funny at work meetings.
This all becomes a lot less fun and funny when you look at the evidence, as you are trained to do as a scientist, and you realize that the supposed evidence against Vincent is based on the fact that he was kind of a dick to the Customs guys at the airport and he’s—brace yourselves—a foreign national. In fact, he’s always made me laugh because he has this one blue suit that he has described multiple times in a very confident, feeling-myself sort of way as “very European.”
Vincent’s suit was the first thing I noticed when I saw that The Epoch Times, the media outlet for the far-right Falun Gong cult, uncritically reported baseless allegations that Vincent and Kwe are serial pathogen smugglers. It is strange, appalling, and deeply sad to me that my first knee-jerk reaction on seeing my friend Vincent in an image repurposed to imply that he is a criminal was my very human memory of him talking about his signature suit.
I’m not European. I’m a natural born American citizen. But the last time I checked, it is not a crime to be European. It is not a crime to be African. It is not a crime to be a foreign national. It is not a crime to be a foreign national who works for the US government. Both of these colleagues have done distinguished, demonstrably impactful work to both study and respond to emerging virus outbreaks, which is a service to the Americans whose tax dollars pay their salaries.
I haven’t met Kwe, but he is also a foreign national. Unlike Vincent, he is not from Europe and he is not white. I couldn’t help but notice the complaint flagged Kwe acting nervous when going into customs. Former head of ICE, Greg Bovino, gave a recent lecture at a far-right white nationalist "Remigration Summit" where he openly admired the Nazis whose style he imitates. ICE detention facilities are privately operated hellpits of disease and despair, and American immigration policy has devolved into openly racist, xenophobic, unbridled cruelty. I can hardly blame a Cameroonian passport holder for being nervous reentering a country that has demonstrated itself to be openly hostile to Black people, foreign citizens, and scientists (especially virologists). Especially since he is a postdoctoral fellow returning from providing support to his Congolese colleagues and continuing a collaboration that had already produced high-impact scientific findings with direct relevance to containing the outbreak and preventing further spread.
Everyone should feel nervous entering the US. I feel nervous entering the US, despite holding birthright citizenship and being a law-abiding, blonde-haired, blue-eyed white woman. I am also a virologist. I study the same viruses as Vincent and Kwe. I care about my colleagues and I care deeply about my profession. I am in a position to speak up for them and, as an American, it is my right to do so. And everything that has happened here is fundamentally wrong and antithetical to everything America stands for.
I love my country. I moved to Canada in 2021 for work, but my heart will always belong to America. Eighty years ago, my country stood up against fascism because our values as a nation demanded that we defend them. I never imagined that one day, my country would present an even greater fascist threat, fueled by technology, obscene wealth disparities, rank corruption, complacency, and moral rot. I could not have foreseen that, as a middle-aged academic virologist living in the Canadian prairies, this threat would impact me personally and professionally in so many ways. That my friends would be targeted by my own government despite committing no crime. That so many people, including many I previously respected, would remain silent. That some would be so eager to assist. That so many supposed leaders, including at my own institution, university, and at various professional organizations, would attempt to impose silence on their own people. That I should swallow the odious fiction that scientific objectivity must come at the expense of moral integrity . That scientists are not allowed to participate in a democracy. That I should shut up and pipet as these cowards and quislings first asked, then ordered, and then attempted to abusively enforce, because I have no standing to defend my colleagues and our work. That I have no stake or say in a free, healthy, secure world. They are wrong.
All I ever wanted was a peaceful life in a democratic society. All I ever wanted to do was make the world a better place through scientific research, by understanding viral pathogens and giving us new defenses against them. All I ever wanted to be was a virologist. Yet, in reality, I am sick, exhausted, heartbroken, and traumatized. My illness continues to be undiagnosed and has forced me to go on medical leave since early March, when I had such a severe episode of the issue I’m dealing with that I thought I was going to die. It has taken a profound toll on me. I grieve for my health and happiness, for my dreams of the life I thought I would have, for my profession, for my friends and colleagues, and for my country.
I didn’t choose any of this. But we all must make a choice how we respond. Each of us must decide what our values are, and whether or not we will live them.
I never served my country in the military, but I can still serve in other ways with one of the rights that has always made America great: free speech. I can use my voice and I have a platform to do it. There are many ways to protest that are less public and they all have value, especially because more and more people are not able to. Not everyone does it like me, but I am deeply grateful and forever indebted to everyone who does something, whatever they can, to stop the evil that is spreading like an infection. Anyone who chooses to do otherwise—to collaborate, to assist, to profit, to abuse their powers, to persecute others who show the courage they lack, or even to just be a pathetic coward and do nothing—is my enemy. There are a lot of pathetic cowards and I will not forget your actions or lack thereof.
We are all Vincent and Kwe. If the government can lock any of us up for any pretextual reason, they can do it to all of us. America is no longer a democracy. It is a dictatorship. Whether you are a scientist or not, whether you are outspoken or not, whether you are American or not, whether you consider yourself patriotic or not, whether you are political or not, you have to pick a side. Either resist fascism or be complicit.
I choose to resist.
I think we all need to practice a metaphorical version of "drown proofing": a nautical safety technique that has been proven to help people stay alive in the ocean for up to 24 hours until help comes where they reach safety.
A person who has, for example, fallen overboard in the ocean, will tend to struggle. They waste their energy trying to stay above the water. Instead, this technique teaches you to use the absolute minimum physical effort to just bring your nose above the water so that you can take good deep breath, then let go and sink below the water for a moment until it's time for the next breath.
We all need to learn to use no more energy in the resistance than is effective, and which allows us to hang in there for as long as may be needed.
Dr Rasmussen, I hope you will find your way to whatever represents the best health possible for you. And that you will find a way to have your health and well-being not be in conflict to all you offer the world.
Fantastic article! This is more insanity!
