Before the vaccine, 10% of measles infections resulted in deafness. Measles currently causes 100K children/yr to become blind. Even those who recover completely can later develop the fatal encephalitis. Every infection disrupts the immune system and can cause loss of all immunity to other infections

Greenland says 'no thanks' to Trump US hospital boat Greenland's PM reminded Trump of its free healthcare, after Trump said he was sending a boat to aid people who were allegedly "not being taken care of".

Oh dear, they rejected his Β΄gift’ - guess who will be grumpy today? www.bbc.com/news/article...

The US President, which does not offer free healthcare to his own people, wants his own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.

Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.

Impeach and remove Clarence Thomas for corruption.

Impeach and remove John Roberts for letting it happen on his watch.

I do think it’s funny that the USA broke from England to get rid of the monarchy so that no one would be above the law and yet only one of these countries has arrested a senior political figure in relation to Epstein and it wasn’t the USA

I’m sure these decisions - to first refuse to even give a cursory review to an extremely promising new vaccine then backtracking and deciding to fully review it after public backlash to the first refusal - are being made solely based on scientific evidence and concern for American health and safety

Interesting story! I haven’t seen medical leeches in use myself, but maggots (tactfully referred to as β€˜larval therapy) were often used for cancer patients when I was working in oncology.

The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating A decade on, the economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating. Here's what the figures say.

Because of Brexit, the UK GDP is 6–8% lower than it would have been, business investment is 18% lower than in comparable economies, and both employment and productivity are around 4% lower. Can’t wait to see in a decade how Trump has damaged the US economically.

If those who claim the authority of law do not obey the law, and the law does not stop them, then they do not have the authority of law, because there is no longer any law.

RFK Jr. made promises to get his job as health secretary. He's broken many of them In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both.

It’s weird, isn’t it? Like people don’t appreciate being shafted, beaten, discriminated against. So strange for MAGA folks that people don’t love them and their madness.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes

Opinion | Vinay Prasad’s Vaccine Kill Shot Does the White House know the harm he’s doing to public health?

WSJ editorial board hits FDA: It’s hard to recall a regulator who has done as much damage to medical innovation in as little time as Vinay Prasad who rejected Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine without even a cursory review.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

I mean, of what importance are a few raped children, compared to increases in stock value? Who cares about American citizens being shot down in the streets when the DOW is up, up, UP!?
