Prasad, Makary and others who claim that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children are not telling the truth. According to @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, the committee that worked on this question reported that there were ZERO deaths that they were certain were caused by the vaccines. Well worth reading.
Twenty million Americans have a completely new chronic illness from a pandemic our government said was over in mid 2022, before the two highest waves even happened. And now they are ending the subsidies that allowed millions to afford healthcare. The rage I feel could birth a new galaxy.
Please stay home if you’re feeling sick. If you absolutely can’t stay home, wear a mask. There are people who can’t afford to get sick. People without paid time off, people who are disabled or immune compromised, people who are caregivers. Help break chains of transmission
Covid vaccines released last fall sharply decreased the risk of ER and urgent care visits in children, according to new data released by the CDC — providing a striking counterpoint to Trump administration rhetoric about the shots Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/11/h...
Everyone is talking about how bad the flu is. Media & healthcare facilities are pleading with people to get their flu shot. To stay home when sick. To wash their hands. Very few are recommending masks. When we had mask mandates we eliminated an entire flu strain. Mask up!
Another one bites the dust. I heard Pierre Poilievre on TV yesterday ranting about the carbon tax. It was the same smarmy voice repeating the same dumbed down slogans. Meanwhile Canada is facing the threat of the Trump doctrine. No wonder this idiot is losing ground www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
At a minimum, Prasad and Makary should lose their licenses for blatantly lying to the public about kids dying from the COVID19 vaccine, when the actual investigation found that zero deaths were certain to have been caused by vaccination. Despicable, egregious, murderous behavior. Link below.
The AV Club, Yahoo News (by extension), The Daily Beast, and Rolling Stone have all picked up our story about Liam Neeson narrating a new anti-vax documentary. Read our original report here—and consider subscribing to Important Context or donating to AJI to help us keep going!
People need to boycott the US right now. Don’t wait for these demands to go into place. Don’t go for the World Cup. Don’t go for the Olympics. Don’t go to Disney or Vegas or Broadway. It’s not safe, and your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism. Vote with your dollar.
ICYMI: Last night @jeremyfaust.bsky.social revealed that Drs. Makary and Prasad of the FDA have lied to all of us with their claims that COVID19 vaccines “killed 10 children”. The scientists that did the work found that there were ZERO deaths that they could be certain were caused by the vaccines.
Not sure those unfamiliar with the geography of Eastern Ontario appreciate how absurd it is Via forced passengers to sleep overnight at the station in Brockville Brockville is only an hour and a half drive from Ottawa. Via couldn’t get buses to shuttle them back? How is there no contingency plan?
Scientists at Canadian institutions have long punched well above our weight despite low and stagnant funding. Spending a billion dollars on external recruitment while science here is starving is exactly what Harper got wrong about supporting research excellence in Canada.
What Steve said. There has never been a study in which high-quality, well-fitting masks were actually WORN that did not show a significant impact on disease transmission. Many mask studies failed to take account of post-allocation confounders (non-adherence + non-mask people choosing to mask).
The Federal govt sends transfers to the Provinces for Public Healthcare and Public Education, but the Premiers are dispersing it to Private facilities lately and this is a huge problem. The Premiers do not spend the taxpayers money wisely. #Alberta www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...
So many past artists who created the iconic Disney characters had NO idea the work they created would be regurgitated through Open AI for free These people were not paid for the extraction of their labor. We need California law to catch up and @governor.ca.gov to stop this AI deal NOW 🛑
When ACA subsidies expire, it’ll be the disabled & chronically ill who suffer the most. They have the highest healthcare costs and are living in extreme poverty. They can’t afford the premium hikes. This is a eugenicist agenda, and every Dem who voted for it knows it
Victim blaming helps the privileged keep their power. Got raped? You were asking for it. Disabled? You didn’t take care of yourself. Getting deported? Should have followed the process. Don’t make enough money? Should have made better choices. Stop blaming the oppressed.
The Pentagon failed 7 audits in a row and is being rewarded with $900 billion dollars. That’s tax payer money. Remember this the next time they say there’s too much “waste fraud and abuse” in SNAP and Medicaid. If there’s $900 billion for war, we can afford to feed people & provide healthcare.
The White House posted a video of Santa with a “naughty list” that includes a number of journalists. He also has many of their pictures. This is what the Nazis did. They kept a list a “problem” journalists. They ousted them in favour of loyalists. Many of those journalists were killed.
Trump threatened to withhold federal funding to the entire state of Indiana unless they gerrymandered to ensure he wins? Are we really just pretending this is ok and not blatant corruption and election fraud? No one in Indiana should vote Republican after this. No one.
This was an unexpected surprise. I wrote a thread about what was happening with redistricting in Indiana. It’s been a wild ride. The state senate was under immense pressure from Trump to vote for a new map that would make Indiana 9-0 Republican districts. They voted against it.
Until you remove this administration and clean up your country, Canadians will continue to boycott. #SorryNotSorry Canadian boycott of #U.S. hitting border states hard: Congressional report #Canada Democrats point to Trump's policies hurting American businesses www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
I'm always amused when someone watches my Danielle Smith or Karoline Leavitt videos and accuses me of stealing [comedian I've never heard of]'s ideas. Like...do you...think they're the only comedian who thought to impersonate these well-known people? Surely you cannot think that? Surely you can't?!
Sen Magaziner to Noem: “A purple heart recipient A military spouse A father of 3 marines Children with cancer Mothers with babies in the NICU US citizens You don’t seem to know how to tell the difference between the good guys & the bad guys” This is what happens when you’re filling quotas
The Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, just ran a headline saying the “Starbucks CEO deserves his big paycheque” Starbucks workers are currently on strike trying to get a living wage. They were offered a 2% raise while the CEO earned over $90 million Boycott Starbucks and anything Bezos owns

Republicans have voted 13 times against extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies. They’ve said 13 times that the lives of low income Americans don’t matter. That the lives of disabled or chronically ill Americans don’t matter. That healthcare is not a right in America.

Every time I see an interview clip from a US House Committee hearing it's like Representative: Did you build six orphan mills last year Republican Politician: I did not how dare you Representative: Behold this 15-part David Attenborough documentary of the six orphan mills you built last year
RFK Jr: We shall rebuild Trust in public health. Chorus: How, how will you do that sir? RFK Jr: We shall lie to the people of the United States about vaccines Chorus: Oooh, so clever sir, but won’t you get caught? RFK Jr: If we are caught, we will make up the data. Chorus: What the fuck man?
some studios are pro-junk and AI-slop now i guess not surprised. but at the end of the day, the only thing that will end this is you and your dollar. if you want human-made art and animation, it’s up to you, the customer, to prove it. rip Hollywood. the next iteration of you will make more sense.
The FDA under charlatans Prasad, Makary, and Hoeg wants to put a black box warning on COVID19 vaccines in order to please their anti-vax audience. There is no reason to assume that RFK Jr. will not force COVID19 vaccines off the market in the US. And then he will just keep going down the list.
The rule of law isn’t some abstract thing for lawyers and people who own briefcases. It’s the reason your neighbour can’t just take your barbecue and declare sovereignty. New piece on why it matters… and why breaking it never ends well. www.brittlestar.com/p/the-rule-o...
I have a choice of staying on my plan for $400 more a month , dropping to a plan that doesn’t cover any out of network providers (which includes all of my long covid doctors), and dropping to an HMO where I’d lose all my specialists. Doing this during a pandemic is truly evil on a deep level.
“Covid vaccines administered last fall sharply decreased the risk of emergency department and urgent care visits in children… [cutting] the risk of needing medical care in the first six months after vaccination by 76 percent in children under 4, and 56 percent in children 5 to 17.”
An update on how the City of Vancouver provides real-time text updates and information about its council meetings. Currently, the only way you can get that information is by having an account on X, the very fun website that everyone loves. Yesterday, they passed a motion to explore alternatives.
Delighted to have the opportunity to discuss the current influenza surge in today's Belfast Telegraph; the virus itself, what we should be doing to mitigate it - vaccination, ventilation, masks - and how infection control has become ideological. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/...

Has anyone noticed clothing companies are going back to SUPER thin models? Quince ads are bothering me. We are not doing this again. Not just for representation. Most people shop online now, and I’m not buying jeans for my size 10 body having only seen them on a 00.
Also new by me, plz share: #Covid surges and a Flunami are revving up in nine countries (that we know of; US included). Plus: Penn Jillette is pro-mask, Liam Neeson is pro-RFK, a landmark study on Covid's very real immune system damage, and more to keep you safe: www.patreon.com/posts/covid-...
