Tonight I fit into my high black boots and a soft, warm green dress that I’ve not been able to wear since 2013 for the boots and ever for the dress.
Hot damn, menopause weight can come off!

Now we have a presentation from Mark Blaxill, an anti-vaccine activist responsible for the site Age of Autism, which is profoundly ableistic. He describes himself as a critic of the CDC.
He will present on the safety of the HBV vaccine.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The wealthy are only wealthy from taking money from others.
Stop spending on all but necessities.
We need to stop the “consumer spending” and demand the wealthy pay taxes rather than live off the rest of us.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Yep.
These are political doctors and there was 0% chance they would conclude “You know what, the vaccine is safe. Everything we’ve said the past 5 years is wrong. Sorry about that.”
That would cost them their jobs and fancy titles.

I’m going to be clear. In my opinion, none of these people can be trusted. Prasad and Hoeg made their careers out of an agenda to take down COVID19 vaccines.
It is so incredibly dangerous to have these people at the FDA. They are a threat to the entire U.S. vaccination program.
