The truth is...
The heat from lava is mostly from radioactivity.

Over 737,000,000 respirators have been gathering dust in the national strategic stockpile, but now they will be distributed to Americans to finally end this pandemic in the US.
(Watch what happens to case rates as these respirators begin to reach people.)
The truth is...
The electoral college offers no master's degree programs.

If the Earth was the size of a grape, the atmosphere would be about the thickness of a human hair.
If the atmosphere was the thickness of a human hair, then
we'd all quickly suffocate.

If President Biden had worn a respirator instead of a cloth mask, he would not have caught bad cold from his grandson.

The truth is...

Just a reminder, a properly worn respirator stops all variants of the COVID-19 virus -- past, present and future.
Respirators are more effective than the vaccine at preventing the spread of the virus, but you should probably do both, along with the other prophylaxis to fully protect yourself.
Since the COVID-19 hand-washing mandate went into effect there have been 1,234 deaths due to chafing.
