I cannot even begin to express my rage at this lie

reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.

“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

Players of FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh Riverhounds emerge for the USL final wearing shirts calling for better working conditions. The USLPA want "real wages, safety, healthcare, and year-round support."

"Pro rel? Try pro standards first," reads the message on the shirts.

There will never be another like Stephen Carroll. From the amateur ranks, to our first professional level captain. The success we have had in the USL has been in large part because of the leadership of Stevie both in the locker room and on the backline.

The current book I am reading is The Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley. It’s wildly enjoyable to read a book that is set in a place I know

I loved that the author explained that Sault Sainte Marie is pronounced “Soo”

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

Really enjoying this show so far #plur1bus
PLUR1BUS is something we haven't seen in some time on TV: dangerous science fiction. A real think piece. Takes the question played around with in Asmov's GREEN PATCHES, ANNIHILATION, and even SEA OF RUST, to its most interesting conclusion: What if individualism is the biggest threat to world peace?
