GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Best practice?
Let’s find it & use it

“The lobby has been particularly alarmed by new laws introduced in Western Australia last year, which have – among other measures – limited the number of guns that an individual licence holder can own and tightened mental health checks for licence holders.”

“We’re told not to test for Covid-19 this year. If we find [Covid in patients], then we have to close beds..."

So there is no data on Covid? And nothing is being done to protect vulnerable patients?

Re that survey on attitudes to masking someone said I should do…

“What do you think of masks in hospital?”

I’d like to ask

“If I could stop you from catching flu, COVID, RSV, and many other infections that we breathe in, would you want me to?”

Some of you already got your orders in, which I'll be packing and sending today. For the rest of you, order by Thursday 18 for the best chance of receiving them before Christmas.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.

But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.
Reporter: The senate in Indiana voted against the redistricting effort.

The schism within the right is growing. This is a good thing, for all of us.
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.

The vote failed big, 19/31.

The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

*says slowly* no case has ticked all the boxes
-Not even #Robodebt ?!

This is ONE of the things that highlights, exhibits & exposes the two parties working together for a mutually beneficial outcome

Brereton also insisted that no case put to him had “ticked the boxes” for a public hearing.
But that’s all I’ve got from this inquiry which is now over.
Time seemed limited, I didn’t feel we got most out of it but it is what it is
Now what? Back to waiting tor nothing to happen

“Paul Griffin…said while COVID-19 remains unpredictable, it is fairly likely we'll see another wave relatively soon, on the balance of probability”

Fixed:
It’s fairly likely because we aren’t doing a single god damned thing to break transmission

Australia’s TGA has added the new Comirnaty LP.8.1 COVID-19 vaccine, targeting the LP.8.1 variant.

It’s recommended annually for adults 18–64 who aren’t severely immunocompromised and is free for all residents.

Pfizer says it’s now available.

Listening to Brereton talk about staffing & turnover is PAINFUL

I can’t get over whatever we pay this guy…

Gut feel: people leave bc working under you & the terrible reputation the #NACC has ‘earned’ is unbearable. Perhaps it’s bc they can not stand the FUTILITY of it all

Wow. Now Brereton’s justifying the high staff turnover in the #NACC.
Perhaps good people leave because they’re disillusioned with what’s happening internally at the Commission? 🤔
