A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

This is a massive environmental disaster and it doesn’t get nearly enough attention or resources as it should, it shouldn’t take the best scientist in the space to point out how dangerous this is to tens of thousands of people, if not more.

Black and white poster with bold text reading: "Mayor Mamdani keep your promise! Fund NYC public libraries at 0.5% of the city budget. For more information visit nycplan.org.
