But if enough reputable public health groups come up with recommendations different from ACIP’s, Osterholm said, those groups could sway insurance companies on which shots to cover..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I have also never been closer to having a nuclear weapon. Or a Ferrari for that matter. Weird what you can do with the English language to hide your bullshit.

You could not write a more prefect explanation of everything wrong with those advising Labor than this tweet. Not sure how you get to such a point in life, but please may I never be there.

What an unconscionable, morally-vacant take this is. Labor is apparently right on Iran because they won an election (with a third of the primary vote). Not just ethically repellent, but an Olympian level non-sequitur. Political stances as "ideological performance art"?? Vacuous dolt.

Israel's slaughter in Gaza continues, meanwhile @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social continue to support the erosion of the entire basis of international law. Unconscionable conduct.

In any conflict, we should oppose the aggressor and defend the aggressed, regardless of identity. I have only contempt for the Iranian regime, but Iran was attacked by Israel and the US without sufficient cause or legal justification. Israel and the US are the aggressors, Iran the aggressed.

Penny Wong, 2003: "I say suspicion is not enough. To justify going to war we need more than suspicion. What sort of world would we live in if suspicion alone was justification for participation in unilateral military action outside the auspices of the UN? "

Everyone wanting to be evacuated from Israel NOW & the countries advising it - admit it; you all felt safe living there until now because, prior to #Israel illegally bombing #Iran, you knew that the only people Israel was slaughtering had NO SIGNIFICANT MEANS OF RETALIATION. #Palestine #Genocide

I will NEVER feel sorry for Peter Dutton. Not after he was gleefully cruel to refugees & asylum seekers. Not after he tried to deport little kids in the dead of night. Not after he bowed to billionaires. And definitely NOT after he destroyed any chance of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament #auspol
