If this doctor figures out how this is happening, and can then use it to naturally expand some other parts of the body, he will be the richest man in the world overnight.

A perfectly organic new flu strain that behaves like no other flu ever has on this planet.

Perfectly normal - occurred organically and has nothing to do with the nearby biogenetics lab where they were studying how to make bioweapons...

A reaction because of HIV’s effects on the immune system? HIV attacks a specific type of immune system cell in the body. It’s known as the CD4 helper cell or T cell. How this works in the overall immune response triggered by the mRNA vaccine, is up to the immunologists. Any FReepers with immunologist creeds?

Those tongues are MASSIVELY large. It would be impossible to live a normal life that way, plus the tongue will feel uncomfortably dried out all the time, since it cannot fit into the mouth.

The neck and jaws will be aching from the mouth being held open nonstop. Thank God we have doctors ready to reduce them.
One can only hope they don’t ever grow back to that monsterous size. When it happens, it is usually with a black patient. So much to learn from this virus.
Why is no one talking about this till now?

I don’t even have to read this thread to know that somewhere in it, someone is blaming the vaccine.
