The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Two scientists modeled what it would be like if unvaccinated babies grew up. As kids they would be paralyzed by polio.

Babies would be born w/ congenital rubella syndrome.

When was the last time we heard about this in the news?

Diphtheria would arrive to kill.
It would be a different world.

The Deepfake Nudes Crisis in Schools Is Much Worse Than You Thought An analysis by WIRED and Indicator found nearly 90 schools and 600 students around the world impacted by AI-generated deepfake nude images—and the problem shows no signs of going away.

IMPORTANT PSA: Please talk to your kids about this horrific trend!

Let them know that if they’re the victim that to let you know immediately. If they’re see it being done to others report it to authorities asap!

This could lead to devastating consequences for teens!

NIH insiders: Trump is ‘dismantling and destroying everything’ After just 100 days, agency scientists say U.S. health institutes are demoralized and have lost essential staff and funding

NIH under siege
After Trump’s first 100 days, agency scientists say U.S. health institutes are demoralized and have lost essential staff and funding.
This pisses me off.

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

This particularly resonates with me, when I see our precious science infrastructure get dismantled.

We have long road to recovery when Russel Vought et al. are out.

So much damage has been done within one year.

US Faces $7.8 Billion Measles Risk as Vaccination Rates Decline, Study Finds A sustained drop in childhood vaccinations could cost the US about $7.8 billion in measles outbreaks over five years, a new study found.

Not getting vaccinated against a preventable disease will cost anti-vax Americans: $7.8B over 5 yrs.

Measles cases alone cost us $244M in costs. A 1% annual decline in MMR vaccine among young children will result in 17000 cases/yr + 4000 hospitalizations & death.

FBI Director Kash Patel just filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick over a story published Friday alleging he drinks to excess, has unexplained absences from FBI headquarters, and that his behavior has become a national security concern. 🧵

Canada announces major shift sway from US Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered an address about the country's economic ties to the U.S.

Other countries are beginning to do the same. They are moving away from having the U.S. as a trading partner.

Discovery will be beautiful!!!

Is anyone, REALLY…surprise?

and here we go again…

Those seeking to make ivermectin OTC point to its winning the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015. Yes. Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize for its role in treating onchocerciasis and elephantiasis, two parasitic diseases. Do know what else won the Nobel Prize in 2023? mRNA vaccines.

🧪Ivermectin is no match for mRNA based technology.

This poll by Politico is badly framed & should be thrown out.
When analyzed in detail, only 10% of respondents chose the MOST skeptical position of vaccines "that vaccines risks are significant" & that "enforcing vaccines is dangerous".

An inaccurate picture.

Love Victor Glover’s answer to the concept of DEI. One day, it won’t be about labels, it will be about achievements of humanity.

Congresswoman Summer Lee grills RFK, Jr. on black maternal health.
This health crisis in the U.S. is a persistent emergency where Black women are 2.5 to 3.5 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women, with rates up to 49.5 deaths per 100,000 live births.

What's real funny is that his threat to sue The Atlantic is intimidation and bluffing. He does not want to sue the paper. Because if he does he opens himself up to discovery and that would not be good, for him. Plus as a public figure, he would have to prove the paper acted with "actual malice."

Tylenol during pregnancy not tied to increased risk of autism in children

More debunking: This time, of Kennedy's assertion that
Tylenol intake during pregnancy is linked to autism.

Again, there is no link.

He claimed that this study is garbage & should be retracted. His last retraction request of another Danish study was denied.

Sooo Kash Patel has a drinking problem, can’t lead the FBI. The FBI had to send a swat team to wake his ass up from an inebriated slumber.

The Strait of Hormuz is still shut. Ceasefire talks are in limbo.

Chaos and incompetence as usual.

Opinion | Trump’s legal fees slush fund is drying up The Save America PAC is $500,000 in the red according to federal filings — and owes three times as much to the president’s many, many lawyers.
