The obscenity of “Big Pharma”

The Race to Find a Measles Treatment as Infections Surge The measles vaccine was so effective the disease was considered eliminated in the U.S., but a resurgence of outbreaks is spurring a need for drugs.

As the US hits a 33-year high in measles infections, there is now a "race" to find a treatment for the disease.

One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatments—and in turn, more investor interest"

The whole point of prevention is that is (1) prevents illness in the first place, (2) treatment is more costly and rarely is perfect. When society gives up on illness prevention and decides to let people get sick, you know it’s all about how to extract maximal profit from humanity.

When did the term 'illegal migrants' become an accepted term?

They are irregular migrants. The vast majority have committed no crime. They are also human beings and deserve a certain amount of empathy and respect.

Day 254: Rustaveli Avenue remains blocked in Tbilisi, Georgia. 🇬🇪
US flags are a constant presence at the protests. 🇺🇸
We hope the MEGOBARI Act passes Congress soon and puts pressure on our illegitimate, pro-Russian government.

Ministers ask China to explain redacted designs for London ‘super-embassy’ Angela Rayner gave the embassy two weeks to send additional details about its plans before approval decision

It’s staggering that only now, at the 11th hour, the Government is asking basic questions about China’s proposed super-embassy.

The security risks are obvious. It’s time to send a clear message: we stand with Hongkongers & democracy - and we won’t be walked over by authoritarian states like China.

Rupert Lowe orders air strike on Whitby Regatta

A very mistaken list of the last 12 presidents of the United States and their years in office produced by the Ph.D level scholar known as ChatGPT-5. Includes John F. Katwady, president 1991-1968; George W. bush, president 220Z-1999), and Bill Christen, president 1999-2001

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

RIP Jim Lovell
‘When I circled the moon and looked back at Earth, my outlook on life and my viewpoint of Earth changed... Earth is a spaceship, just like Apollo & just like Apollo, the crew must learn to live & work together. We must learn to manage the resources of this world with new imagination.’

Just a reminder that Israel is holding 13000 Palestinian hostages....

When the Pope commented on his “faith”it’s clear Vance is talking out his a***

David Lammy to host US Vice President JD Vance at country residence Vance will be a guest of the UK foreign secretary at his official residence Chevening, in Kent.

Lammy and Vance are "reported to have bonded over their shared Christian faith".

I'm not religious. And if JD Vance is any sort of example of a Christian, I'd rather not be one, thanks very much.

The eight Georgian opposition parties boycotting the local elections have produced a documentary on Russia’s 2008 invasion of Georgia.

Putin and Georgian Dream officials are loudly booed.

Day 253 of daily, nationwide protests against this regime.

Students studying abroad. Pure indoctrination!

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy How Reeves could raise £15 billion without hurting working people

How Reeves could raise £15 billion without hurting working people youtu.be/f26kOz28Hjg?... Unearned income—like dividends, rents, and capital gains—escapes the tax burden workers face. In this video, I argue it’s time for economic fairness and tax justice.

REAL HOPE REAL CHANGE SCRAP RIGHT TO BUY Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

The right-to-buy scheme has cost UK taxpayers almost £200bn according to @cmmonwealth.bsky.social

Margaret Thatcher's transfer of public wealth into private hands has fuelled the inequality and shortage of social housing we see today.

The Green Party would scrap right-to-buy.

Isn’t she a great friend of Carrie J? Am I misremembering that she & the Johnsons broke Covid lockdown rules by being together when millions spent a Christmas alone or apart from loved ones?
Hmm
So she only reports rule breakers *sometimes*, and breaks rules herself *sometimes*
I see

Of course she is a queue jumper. Her mother jumped the queue to get her born in the UK!

Why do you think?

Now she is happy to pull up the ladder behind her.

Someone should ask her whether she thinks a child cheating in a school exam is committing a worse crime than an adult hacking the computer of a political rival

She's obviously ok with computer hacking but has no compassion for the child whose future she may have ruined. This interview shows her for exactly what she is. I taught in the 90s and no child had their ambitions suppressed because of their ethnicity. She is disgusting.

No one but no one likes a grass

Kemi Badenoch reveals how she told on exam cheat as teenager The Tory leader speaks about her background and values in an interview with the BBC's Amol Rajan.

If Kemi Badenoch thinks that getting another kid expelled from school when she was 14 is going to win her votes.... well I've got news.
