Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

We were likely years away from making HIV a thing of the past. Humanity triumphing over one of its worst diseases Instead we'll live in a world where people continue getting sick because of a greedy few who didn't want to pay their fair share of taxes

Let's be very clear, this is a feature, not a bug. Because if there aren't any jobs, people will do absolutely anything to stay alive. Lower wages, more employer crime, a permanent underclass. This is all built into the AI proposition.

Remains one of my biggest pet peeves when people defend slop churned out for children with "it's not FOR you! It's for kids! Kids are dumb so they love stuff that sucks!"

The vote was 215-214 with the 3 notable missing votes because Dems died in office. If you are one of those people scolding those of us who say it's time for old ass reps to retire, know you're part of the reason all these Americans got fucked.

Just wondering if you knew that kids too young for COVID vaccines have COVID hospitalization rates that are similar to people 65-74? Just wondering if you knew over 1000 people a week died from COVID while we were celebrating winter holidays and the New Year? Does FDA Administrators know?
