Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Pregnancy vaccine reduces baby hospital admissions for RSV by 80% A study confirms the vaccine gives excellent protection for babies against life-threatening chest infections.

Vaccines are humanity’s greatest scientific achievement.

Wow, great news: the CDC has a study proving COVID vaccines slashed hospitalizations by 55%. Bad news: RFK Jr.’s team killed it before publication because facts were inconvenient. They are literally hiding data that could save your life.

Ireland Ireland: A comparison of international statistics, concentrating on Social and Moral issues.

#Ireland comes in the top 10% for women's equality, but only after a late struggle against the #Catholic Church, which even until 1973 resisted a new law that allowed married women to have jobs. The Catholic's hold waned, finally allowing general female emancipation. www.humantruth.info/ireland.html

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

#Knowledge: (1/5 - in comments): In ethics, you can't make moral choices without some knowledge of consequences. Aristotle argued that acting from ignorance is the same as from compulsion, and counts as an /Involuntary/ action.
