There’s a massive distinction between antivaxxers, vaccine sceptics and as importantly the vaccine hesitant. The latter 2 can accept vaccines and promote them in the community given the facts about vaccines 💉 to protect ourselves and our children. Or become antivax given deliberate disinformation

That’s it in a nutshell. Anyone who has actually been to Palestine 🇵🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱 and really talked to people knows that Muslims and Jews have far more in common than divides them. Religion and ethnicity are used as a pretext for divide and rule - from Northern Ireland to Kashmir, Darfur and beyond.

This is why most illegals in the USA 🇺🇸 contribute far more than they take out. And generally fear of deportation makes them otherwise far more law abiding than other citizens!
Facts not rhetoric!!

From personal experience having worked illegally in Texas restaurants for a year when I was a student pilot, I paid tax and social security which was deducted at base rate from my wages and applied against my fake SS number which I could never claim back and was not entitled to receive any benefits

Maybe this is the real heart of the matter- RFK Jnr, Trump, Musk have never wanted for anything in their lives. Denial of anything then becomes a breach of their entitlement!

His treatment of Cyril Ramaphosa - a true Statesman - a real fighter for his cause, people and country, was truly the behaviour of a spoilt, arrogant, ignorant and immature bully.
Cringeworthy what a fuckwit ! I feel for y’all and us all.

You better get that Polio shot asap, it’s definitely coming back following measles and the rest of vaccine preventable diseases that are reemerging thanks to the cretins that are systematically destroying Public Health in the USA and across the world 🌍
Viruses 🦠 don’t respect borders.

Unwell!!!! Surely an under statement?
Ramaphosa did well not to laugh in his face.
Call it out, Trump is a racist sociopath and if that gets me banned from the USA so be it fuck y’all who voted for him. Jozi is more fun than DC any day.

How did this even happen that such an imbecile became head of health in the USA 🇺🇸 Why do you not need qualifications for such a position? The mind boggles as the USA willingly reintroduces deadly 🦠 diseases to the world that had been almost eliminated! It’s a Global Public Health catastrophe.

Besides I don’t want AI to think or decide or write for me - unless it’s something totally mundane - but I’m finding Claude a very bright, personable assistant.

Why not just take him and a couple of close friends to the zoo or a museum and a pizza 🍕 - the problem has nothing to do with AI 🤖 but the tyranny of your child’s peers’ parents expectations of each other! It a viscous cycle. I say this only with hindsight as the parent of 2 kids in their 30s.

They have been cutting World Service for years. Despite it having been the best ambassador Britain has ever had around the world 🌍
If you have ever been in a rickshaw in India 🇮🇳 and said you worked for the BBC or watched as people ran to listen to Focus on Africa in war torn Liberia 🇱🇷 you’d know.

He’s part of the problem. A total waste of space trying to our Right the Right. A total failure at every level.
If he listened to the people and not the RW press we’d be back in Europe. Tosser.

PS does anyone ever check how much coverage Reform gets in proportion to its actual representation?

Fuck them. The beeb is a shadow of its former self. It’s populism that rules.
Lord Reath will be spinning in his grave.
What happened to “Educate, Inform and Entertain” ?
With a few exceptions like Broadcasting House on Sundays, most of its output is from jornos who couldn’t define 5Ws&H!

What’s next for US 🇺🇸 children- and the rest of the world’s kids if we don’t reject RFK Jnr’s lunacy - Polio - for sure - AWD / cholera, rickets TB, pneumonia, stunting .. need I go on?

My post earlier:
#notinmyname #genocide as a person of Jew(ish) heritage I continue to be revolted by Israel 🇮🇱 under Netanyahu. He is a flag bearer for antisemites everywhere.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree ☝️

This is fascinating 🧐 I wonder if Hirschfield researched traditional attitudes to gender identity in other cultures too?

Which media are you referring to? As a Jew(ish) 3rd generation London refugee (19thC) I have been aware of nazi persecution of Roma, homosexuals communists etc for as long as I remember.
But your point is well valid.

There’s a 30s travel 🧳 poster for Corsica that’s very similar. Beautiful 😻

Thank you for the clarification. The point was indeed that “this can happen to anyone “ as you say. Pretty sure that this story was cited when vaccines 💉 were introduced. ❤️🩹

Old enough to remember MMR parties pre-vaccines especially for girls and German measles as we called rubella then. Paul who sat next to me in primary school wore callipers after polio!
Vaccines WORK
Of all the shit 💩 from this administration personally I find this as murderous as anything military
comment in response to

I seem to recall that. It became a very powerful vaccine promoter at the time across Europe I think 🤔 like a celebrity endorsement of vaccines ❤️🩹 didn’t it?

Once it’s endemic in the USA 🇺🇸 the rest of the world will follow. (We do need to introduce vaccine 💉 mandates for travel 🧳)
This is a policy made measles outbreak 😷

Oh I forgot DRC which is in the same shit 💩 as when I worked there 24 years ago despite or probably because of a 1/4 C of “peace keeping” !

Totally 💯 most of the world’s media seem to think Gaza & Ukraine are the only wars that matter. But Sudan 🇸🇩 is dire, the Sahel increasingly dangerous and autocratic and splitting from ECWAS vulnerable to increased Wagner & Chinese 🇨🇳 influence especially into the void left by destruction of USAID.

Having spent much of my working life in and out of armed conflict zones in West and Central Africa - initially as a traveler then in conflict transformation and humanitarian organisations. I’ve seen how much has changed in the last 50 years, good to have a window on this region though your posts 🙏🏽

Yeah Why? BBC is a shadow of its former self! I remember when Today would set the day’s news agenda (RIP Brian Redhead).
Now what do we get ? Leading questions, Sun derived editorials.
I’m pretty sure Fagage (love it) gets far more coverage than entitled to under editorial guidelines.

This work is vital to inform “infodemic management” and stop children particularly dying from mis & disinformation.
