This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.

No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.

Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."

THIS is why Pride is important.

I can’t believe that we are at the point where we need to constantly remind everyone that children aren’t meant to die from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Fact of the Day:

Disease is bad for you.

You can’t “build immunity” from viruses or bacterial infections without it leaving some permanent mark on your health, either immediately or later in life.

It'd mean gov admitting covid isn't a nothingburger, which would make the sky fall down and the ground break apart. But yes!, regular checks.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: people who get covid should be screened for blood clots.
Pass it on.

Do you realize how ridiculous this entire situation is? Imagine if everyone believed there was no such thing as cancer, and only cancer patients, and their families had to prove that their disease exists to the entire world. #LongCovid #MECFS
