If you want the 90s rock equivalent of driving a rusted out Honda Accord at top speed down the side of a mountain, the wheels nearly falling off, only to successfully pull off a jump over 100-foot chasm, do yourself a favor and listen to Winder by Hum at top volume. Makes me want to run thru walls

Remember when the navy was used for an extrajudicial murder of people on a civilian ship from a country with whom we are not at war and then provided no proof for justification? And nothing happened? And our VP commented by saying he didn’t care if it was illegal? Things are going great, guys

For some reason I’m subjecting myself to listening to ACIP. This thimerosal talk is a highlight of anti-vax bullshit. All to discuss something that has been removed from almost all vaccines. It’s just a scare tactic to lend an air of legitimacy to skepticism of ALL vaccines. I hate everything.
