This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

Maria Bartiromo: “You go to London right now, and it is largely Muslim… women are completely covered up” 🙄
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

SCUSA denied Anthony's request for a stay of execution and writ of certiorari. In one hour and twenty minutes, our country will gas a man to death, intentionally killing another innocent man. The SCUSA dissent is worth reading, below.
