OMICRON VARIANT IS REAL. STAY SAFE. GET VACCINATED.
Marami akong nakikita na mga pinoy na kabayan natin na hindi parin nagpapabakuna. Walang masama na magpa bakuna, dito sa UAE, 4 dose pa ang natanggap ko.

New studies show that the COVID vaccines damage your immune system, likely permanently
Ito pala reason kung bakit karamihan ng maysakit ngayon ay vaccinated The vaccines are making it more likely you'll be infected with Omicron 90 days after you are fully vaccinated.

This is not surprising since a paper from Germany showed the same thing: the more you vaccinate, the worse it gets. Worried about Omicron? Guess what?

The Johnny Depp thriller that's soaring into Netflix's charts
When we think of Johnny Depp, our mind instantly teleports to Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, or Alice in Wonderland. With that, we sometimes forget about Depp’s previous work like The Ninth Gate, for example. However, thanks to the beauty of Netflix, we can now revisit some of our favourite performers in their more unusual flicks. The Ninth Gate, a 1999 film directed by Roman Polanksi, Depp portrays a collector that hunts rare books, and ultimately gets wound up hunting a book that holds the secret to summoning the Devil. One wouldn’t class this film as one of his best, but it’s clear that Depp’s backing and support from fans has pushed this mediocre neo-noir thriller to the top of the Netflix most-watched lists in a...
