Democrats have offered cussing and scolding after the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. We need a real plan of attack, now.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

It really is remarkable how little Jay knows about anything COVID-19 related given that it has been his entire platform and area of interest for 6 years.
I mean, wow, this is our NIH Director spouting really bizarre conspiracy theories—saying that public health protections such as shelter in place were tools that states & governments used because they, um, felt guilty about covering up a lab leak that they themselves caused 🤯🤯🤯

Exactly 2 months ago, FDA “leaders” Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad claimed that 10 children had died from the COVID19 vaccine.
To this day they have provided no evidence to support this claim.
In real science, when a statement of such magnitude is made, having evidence to support it is crucial.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.

It had sprung up in 1 yr between appointments, and led to surgery, a 1-week hospitalization, 8-week recovery, and the loss of my ability to have biological children. But in *all* of this, I was lucky. I had access to healthcare and the cancer was caught early so I didn’t need chemotherapy.

Thank you for sharing this thread about your personal experience w cervical cancer and the science behind #HPV #vaccine. It is life-altering and life-saving. We need to fight to keep RFK Jr and ACIP from depriving our children of it.
In 2003, my husband and I were going to start a family. But on my 32nd birthday I received a phone call telling me I had to make an appointment with a gynecological oncologist immediately. I then found out that I had cervical adenocarcinoma (Stage IB).
