As an eye doctor:

All of this is correct

Yes, you can neutralize an acid in a lab with an alkaline substance. Alkalines are WORSE for the eyes than acids.

Organics such as milk have a chance to facilitate infection as the bio protective processes are compromised

I wonder if any Australian journalists will ask Herzog about the use of thermobaric weapons against Palestinians?

It is a irredeemable mark of shame that @albomp.bsky.social has brought Herzog and his retinue to Australia.

It brings me no joy seeing the cops treating people like they have always been allowed to treat us. Old ladies with smashed spines, young guys have thier jaws wired up, broken bones, traumatised. Broken and misplaced trust .

Extraordinary footage. Police pulling off people engaged in peaceful prayer.

It fills my heart to see the footage from all the demonstrations against Herzog & the ongoing genocide. I dearly wanted to be there, unfortunately my disability did its thing today, so solidarity at a distance is what I have.

End the genocide. Prosecute the war criminals.

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.

It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.
