@EM_RESUS I am a paediatric emergency physician working in Australia. I have NEVER seen a gunshot wound in a child, and have not seen a gunshot wound in anyone for over 20 years. This cause of death is the result of "choices" by politicians and the people they represent.
@EM_RESUS all I know is that no drag queens were involved nor did a book cause this
@EM_RESUS It’s a sad state of affairs when even I as a layperson with zero medical background know what that is
