The epoch times is the publication of falun gong.

Falun gong is an organization who considers itself a religion, and it is

1) prosecuted by the Chinese government, and therefore fiercely anti-china on every single issue.

2) is anti-science. One of its main draw/propoganda is that practicing falun gong can keep you safe from all illnesses. It can cure cancer, diabetes and what not. It keeps you safe from covid 19.

Therefore you can see how they are a perfect fit for trump. When he came along, they jumped on board pretty fast.

A lot of anti-china people/media are pro-trump because trump is visibly anti-China. Single issue "voters" at its best.

Back when twitter banner Trump, a few people I thought reasonable when it comes to their opinions on china went full Fox. I can't honestly understand the cognitive dissonance when it comes to Trump.

iirc, you are pretty much matched with gender/ethnicity/age as closely as possible. That minimizes the risk of host-graft rejection.

Could be wrong here. I worked on a lung transplant project a few years ago and it's my recollection that that was how it was done.

I just want to clear it up. We can't detect single cancer cells. As long as you were diagnosed with cancer, there is always a chance that it had traveled undetected. I believe the doctors look for evidence of metastasis, like lymph nodes etc, but they don't know for sure.

Since they can't really see all cancer cells, when they cut the tumor they try to get as much out as possible.

The chemo after the surgery is to get rid of any cancer cells that had evaded tumor, or why potential metastasis. So do the chemo, and go for check up every 3 months. If the cancer had spread, it's crucial that they catch it early.

ehhhhh yes. Sex, not gender.

This reminds me of the debate to change birth certificate gender when someone transitions. I hope we keep a person's chromosomal sex in the medical record, because if we don't, it could have some unforeseen results. A transgender female is still XY no matter how she looks and identifies.
