"The new research also “calls into question the idea that younger individuals and those without risk factors don’t need the vaccine,” Viswanathan says."

Nå men, hvilke naturvidenskabelige, statistiske, juridiske, sociale, medicinske, økonomiske eller historiske fakta vil vores Folketingspolitikere mon benægte i morgen?

Hvilken spin vil de bruge til at benægte ægte problemer og opdigte nye?

Jeg havde 11 år på førtidspension inden jeg blev gammel nok ..

Men jeg får en knude i maven over det her. Lige så stor som den, der voksede sig større for hvert møde på kommunen. Dengang. Før ..

Førtidspensionister kan miste deres pension: Regeringen vil genåbne 'visse' sager

Hvem der bliver ramt, og hvordan sagerne skal vurderes, er endnu uklart.

I spent years of my life fighting for a medically necessary hysterectomy.

I was denied because I might “meet a man who wants kids some day”.

I was put on strong hormones that I didn’t want.

One of those was Depo Provera, which we now know is linked to brain tumours 🧵

I need a little timeline cleanse. I love the colors of a monarch against a flower. It's so cool how two colors I wouldn't normally pair work so well together in nature.

Det er helt ufatteligt, at der skal en naturfredningsforening og en underskriftsindsamling til for at forsøge at redde vores alles fælles grundvand. Spark de uduelige og destruktive politikere ud ved næste valg!
