“Health professionals and various people’s organizations are reiterating the importance of #FreeMassTestingNow. The government, through its surrogates, is claiming that mass testing is an impossible feat noting the country’s ‘limited resources.’ This is categorically untrue given the bloated military and intelligence budget in this fiscal year’s General Appropriations Act,” the group stressed. ....
