The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.โ€

On Ukraine, Europe must step into the void | Virgin

Europe canโ€™t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russiaโ€™s threat โ€“ it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraineโ€™s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Victory 'ready to move on' from Kisnorbo walkout Blindsided by Patrick Kisnorbo's move to quit the club, a "disappointed" Melbourne Victory leadership has told ESPN they quickly moved to cut ties, insisting they are well-placed to move on and succee...

Looks like Patrick Kisnorbo did a dog move in the end. Nothing to do with a potential "fire sale" or the finances of the club.

Just a dog move...

Read a copy of The Age at my parents place today. Itโ€™s almost identical to The Herald Sun now, just less advertising. Garbage.

Costello and co ruined a good paper.

This is a dog act in the middle of the season. Vucks were right not to trust him.

Netanyahu blames Albanese for Melbourne synagogue attack The Israeli prime minister said โ€œit is impossible to separate this reprehensible act from the extreme anti-Israeli position of the Labor governmentโ€.

Netanyahu is a corrupt criminal and mass murderer. He needs to be told to fuck off.
