    ‘Threat to humanity’: You might be exposed to these cancer-causing chemicals every day

    So agree with the Covid vaccine. I worked in Age Care, Community, had a couple of jabs, but managed to skip the rest. Supposed to wear masks, when attending Clients. Always asked to `please take that mask off, as I can`t hear you` None of us working for the Company or our Clients...
