RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women.

Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent.

@deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:
“God, No, Not Another Case.” COVID-Related Stillbirths Didn’t Have to Happen.
A lack of testing data and government guidance led many to avoid the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, unwittingly increasing their chances of a stillbirth.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

Lunacy and idiocy on the part of the current administration.
Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months.

And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.
Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

If you think it is against free speech to have professionals who are paid to check facts and allowed to prominently publish them, you are not for „free speech“ but for „unimpeded lies“. Fact checks ARE speech after all. Canceling them LIMITS free speech. #Meta #Musk #Zuckerberg
