The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Journalists and media: stop bothsidesing attacks on childhood vaccines. We look to you to report what is happening and what the effects will be, not repeat the administration’s rhetoric. The effects will be more sickness and more death. That is not something to bothsides. Hold power accountable.

Marty Makary told the world that he is doing a “proper investigation” of child deaths after COVID19 vaccination, including interviewing parents and reviewing autopsy reports.

What he didn’t tell the world is these investigations are done routinely by the FDA and CDC, and have never found a link.

“I think we have to admit to ourselves that America is deeply divided on the policy issue of repeat COVID-19 vaccine doses or boosters," said Vinay Prasad.

The reason for this is because of people like Vinay Prasad, a man who spreads misinformation about COVID19 daily and has now hijacked the FDA.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

Voor de Twitter oudgedienden onder ons: weten jullie nog dat Fleur Agema op milde kritiek van Dolf Jansen reageerde met "Beste Dolf, wie denk je wel niet dat je bent?"

Mona Keijzer's "Jij bent hier niet de baas." geeft me dezelfde vibe.

Het totaal niet gerechtvaardigde dedain en onfatsoen, bah.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

“Trump called the inquiry about Khashoggi from ABC News reporter Mary Bruce a “horrible, insubordinate and just a terrible question,” adding that “I think the license should be taken away from ABC, because your news is so fake and it’s so wrong.”

In de comments klinkt het zeer terecht: "Wow, people lost their jobs for saying less than that about Charlie Kirk." Abjecte potentaten met te veel geld onder elkaar, kan het lager en zorgwekkender?
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
