Vaccines save 2-3 million lives every year.
They are incredibly safe.
The risk of a serious adverse event after vaccination is ~1 in 1,000,000.
Context:
The risk of dying in a car crash: 1 in 100.
The risk of peanut allergy: 1 in 200,000.
The risk of dying from choking on food is 1 in 2500.

Every billionaire is a policy failure.
Every defence of billionaires falsely assumes nothing would get invented or built if we didn't have billionaires

I know it’s trendy to hate billionaires, but many didn’t get rich by accident.
Jeff Bezos made goods cheaper & quickly accessible. Bill Gates put computers in homes. Sergey Brin gave the world a search engine that works. I could go on.
So yes…they should exist.

And the lines all our nations have allowed Israel to wilfully stomp over will come back on all of us. There is no international law now. No one is safe. Nothing they do matters. You could see 40,000 babies burned in a room and it would barely make a ripple in the mainstream. I’m so, so broken

I said it yesterday - I view Welcome To Country as an act of generosity, a hand extended in friendship
That anyone would reject that hand tells me all I need to know about the quality of that person
We live on beautiful, ancient lands, steeped in the greatest history
I'm truly grateful for that

When people have lost their soul…
I almost didn’t post this because it’s one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever read—but silence can’t be the response. I can’t imagine having thoughts like this, let alone saying them out loud…where others can hear you. These people are not okay.
