With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵

Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7
An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

Praise me or shut up! – Trump’s threats to silence opponents break US first amendment

A press free to criticise its government and leaders is essential to any democracy – in America it is crumbling before our eyes

Just you wait, currently bots are busy repeating the bullshit. Soon you’ll hear people that used to be reasonable or normal, repeating this obvious bollocks despite a charity being forced to deny it. Because that’s how it works. This is a direct rip off of Trumps tactics.

Fuck me sideways. Farage is ACTUALLY doing it. He is actually trying to pull the “they’re eating the dawgs” MAGA bullshit here. They’ve truly jumped the shark this time.

This has received no publicity but is damning. A clear explanation of why this type of reintroduction is not just a distraction and a waste of resources but is ACTIVELY HARMFUL to conservation. Environmental journalists please note and please publicise.

Beyond belief. Downing Street pandering to Trump by literally shutting down UK free speech. Shame on the government for its spinelessness.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

What are the implications of having millions of 'ghost Pheasants' wandering around the countryside? In a #BirdFlu epidemic it could be catastrophic.
