In its bid to fight cancer, the Biden administration this week announced plans to enlist the mRNA technology made famous by COVID-19 vaccines.

The idea is to create a platform of mRNA technologies that could turn the immune system against cancer and other diseases.

Thanks for informing me about this @bart.

Here, look. No in-school infections in a primary school in Australia during the height of omicron. You know what they used to achieve this miraculous feat?

A smoke machine, CO2 detectors, and portable hepa filtration units that you just plug into an outlet and turn on. It's not even fucking hard! They weren't even aerosol engineers or infectious disease experts, they were teachers and parents! Lay people!

1898 - Take Your Fucking Vaccine for the Good of All & like it even if kills you

"Available vaccine often proved hazardous owing to impurity. It caused illness and in some cases, even death. Additionally, the site of vaccination could become infected with bacteria. Citizens therefore feared the vaccine, and resisted the vaccination programs. Consequently, an outbreak of smallpox occurred in 1898"

2023 - Pretty please? No autism, fatal myocarditis, impurities...

What does it mean when a cat slaps you?
They may be mad at you, giving you a love tap, trying to get your attention, or trying to get you to play with them, or need more exercise. Or they may be disciplining you for not cleaning their litter box quick enough, or feed/water them

In California, before term limits, State Congressman John Vasconcellos held a big BBQ at the beginning of the session for both parties, where the newcomers could get acquainted. After term limits, the olden reps were eliminated and the noobs only went to orientation events sponsored by their own parties. In the US Congress, both parties spent a week together in Aspen in the summer. Gingrich killed that.

@DemocracyMattersALot lock him up. He’s attacking the prosecutor— unsafe for all prosecutors & judges. It’s another call to his MAGA cult to commit violent acts.

Smol.. 😅

Tragic to see the great guitarist Carlos Santana dive down the anti-trans toilet and babble this childish GOP-amplified nonsense. More sad proof that you can be a brilliant musician and still get suckered into being a bigot. https://consequence.net/2023/08/carlos-santana-anti-trans-speech/

I'm sorry , What?
