Who has going to war with NATO on their 2026 bingo card?
The Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen to the United States:
“The Kingdom of Denmark, and thus Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee.” I “strongly urge the United States to cease its threats.”

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates.
Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

Excellent thread in response to my reply-thanks so much J!!! The psychology of vaccines vs supplements is fascinating to me
Psych 🧵: This is probably more than folks want to know, but there are reasons people trust supplements more, beyond that of being "dumb." Like many things I write 🧵s about, these have to do with how folks process information - in this case, about causality & direct vs. indirect mechanisms of action:
For some reason that I will never understand, folks will take unregulated & unproven supplements instead of vaccines that have been proven to be effective 🤦🏻♀️
