honestly, RFK’s substance use might be the most normal thing about him
I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect a year ago today.
Since then, Israel has violated the ceasefire nearly 10,000 times: 7,500 violations of Lebanese airspace and almost 2,500 ground violations, according to the UN.

As a cervical cancer survivor this makes me very happy to know. Every gender can get HPV related cancers. Vaccines are saving lives. Encourage your loved ones to get one! Sexual activity isn’t required (you can be born with HPV). Take care out there and congratulations Australia ❤️
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
