Took my children out during term time because they are autistic and during the holidays it’s too busy for them to cope. If we go during term time then they have an opportunity for them to learn. I taught my children there is a way to get a balance between school education and home education.

We are sitting here watching a democracy turn into a regime, and it seems there is little we can do, it’s the car crash in slow motion analogy but magnified.

An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵

Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7
