Where Are the Voices of Indigenous Peoples in the #Thanksgiving Story?
The story many of us grew up learning in school neglects the experiences of the Indigenous nations whose lands were invaded by Europeans, including the Pilgrims.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.

On 17/10/23, Health Sec. Wes Streeting was given £39,000 cash by big pharma lobbyist Kevin Craig. Since 2023, Labour cabinet members collectively raked in more than £500,000 from private healthcare companies. Does anyone seriously think those companies don't expect a return on their investment? #NHX
