shocked & disappointed that this has to even be discussed (again & again), but the benefits of the polio vaccine are immense.

vaccination has been instrumental in reducing polio cases by 99% since 1988.

the risk of an adverse vaccine reaction is less than 1 in a MILLION.

Imagine caring more about "taxes" than keeping people in your community alive. All healthcare should be free and all medication / treatment accessible for all. Thinking otherwise is both homicidal and suicidal. If your country can afford to have billionaires, it can afford to provide for everyone.

Article title and abstract

What if the majority of people denied asylum in the United States are:

a) Telling the truth,
b) In real danger of persecution, and yet
c) Still denied asylum on legal technicalities?

That's the bombshell finding of a landmark new study. bclawreview.bc.edu/articles/317...

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.

But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.

Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Every Book Lovers dream is to have a secret library that we can escape to, and not just because of the aesthetic, but mainly because we just want everyone to STOP. TALKING. to us while we read!

Me reading a book: "Okay, I'll stop reading at 12:00a.m and go to bed early."

*birds start chirping*

Me: Well too late to sleep now...
