You cannot be an antivaxxer and be a good person.
Antivaxxers are the embodiment of malicious stupidity. These people are more than willing to harm their children and yours just so they can feel like they know better than medical professionals.
Just horrific.

As Trump builds up for a massive, sustained military engagement with Iran (aka "war"), Moscow, Pyongyang and Beijing all take overt steps to prop up the clerical-IRGC regime in Tehran. The prospects for a big war in the Middle East are substantial.

Ah Matt turn off comments.
Why?
Maybe to stop people pointing out that:
a) All Reform MPs voted against the Workers’ Rights Bill
b) He took a hefty salary from a Hungarian far-right organisation
c) He doesn’t even live in the area—and likely won’t be seen after the election
d) All of the above?🤔
