Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable.
For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

Nailed it
Entire industries of consultants whose job is to take something really simple 'honestly communicate policies that you care about and enough other people do', and transform it into something complicated 'how to say nothing of substance to satisfy donors who want things to stay the same and still win'

Never mess with the mom mafia.
I've said this before but I'll say it again: Wine moms get the job done. When Moms for Liberty attempted a hostile takeover of K-12 education, it was the wine moms who rose up, ran for office, supported candidates, went to school/library meetings, made calls, and went to the mat.
