If convincing people to get the measles vaccine is ‘slow going’ this calls for a vaccine-PLUS approach. Kids/Educators/Bus drivers have the right to NOT get infected, especially those at high risk. Vaccine-PLUS means: +masks +air filtration +ventilation +more! globalnews.ca/news/1117224...

As one of the many people who got a painful case of Shingles from being immune suppressed thanks to a single Covid infection, get this Shingles vaccine if you're able to! I can't get it now but trust me anything u can do to avoid shingles is worth it, it is misery

Literally speechless: ABC reports Trump will accept a luxury jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One, then transferred to his presidential library for personal use. A foreign regime gifting a jet to a former president. It’s bribery in broad daylight.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

Nearly 80% of all toys sold in the US are made in China. They’ve been exempt from tariffs since Trump’s first term, but that’s no longer the case. Now, goods from China are being tariffed at a whopping 145% rate. For American families, this means relatively inexpensive toys could become luxuries. 🧸
