Sadly, denying science within the identify of being anti-authoritarian isn’t simply an American factor—it’s a world phenomenon.
It’s much more unlucky that the misguided efforts of the self-infected have value a beloved folks singer within the Czech Republic her life.
57-year-old Hana Horka, who sings lead along with her band Asonance, died Sunday after intentionally infecting herself with COVID, in line with what her son, Jan Rek, informed BBC News.
