Yes, banning the mention of a ban... Not so much 'irony’ as ’beating subtext to death with a brick in broad daylight’.

Far-right commentators echo Trump in calling for ‘vengeance and retribution’ for Charlie Kirk’s death Even as the suspect and motive remain unknown, incendiary rhetoric from major political commentators spread rapidly online and Trump blamed the left

Well, this isn't ramping up at all well.

Good fucking god. I suppose people need their 'Leibensraum', right? Just with a nice touch of Trumpian glitz.

Another presidency, another viral outbreak. Is-- the world trying to tell us something?

Kidding. Mostly. Thankfully we won't have to deal with mosquitos unless global warming happens because someone reignites a "drill baby drill" attitude! Ha! Ha!

I don’t know a single doctor who went to med school to keep people sick. This is remarkably ignorant and frankly insulting. Despite his bravado, the HHS sec knows remarkably little about health and healthcare in the US.

JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’

How a popular Peruvian soft drink went ‘toe-to-toe’ with Coca-Cola Inca Kola outshined Coca-Cola for decades, gaining a foothold during WWII through bodegas owned by a spurned community.

To be honest, from my times in Cusco, Inca Cola has been my preferred soft drink if a tonic and lime is unavailable.

We certainly do *not* profit off of it; stocking and re-stocking vaccines is costly to clinics. Half the time I have to send the prescription to the pharmacy because insurance wouldn't even reimburse the administration fees.

It’s me.

Rep. Warren Davidson Introduces the Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Research Act of 2025

Future findings that I predict:

If the Canadian PM really wanted to get under Donald's skin, he'd set up vaccination clinics at the border. I would absolutely love to see it.

Given the 2-week delay from our major exporters in China, would not be surprised to see this only get worse over the coming weeks. I'm baffled as to why this isn't more important to the average consumer compared to the stock market.

The stock market is the cat's paw of the 1%; you want real data about how screwed we are? Pay attention to the ports.

The re-emergence of poliovirus is absolutely worth a moment of hesitation though. Sabin and Salk would have gnawed off their fingernails to the bone would they still be witness to the modern anti-vaccine hysteria.

Proud to see that my mother got her Shingrix without me having to prod her too much. Definitely a vaccine to remember, though-- that immunogenicity is not to be trifled with.

That's because we wished up and left the atrocious Zostavax for Shingrix!
