Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

This from @stephenkb.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the matter. Does the government not understand how toxic this argument is? Do they think they can somehow weaponise it? The last governments at least had the merit not of making this kind of foul claim.

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

News agency tweeted:"In today's news, Obama-Castro handshake and gay marriage". Cue "That escalated quickly" memes.

To be honest, this was just an enraging. Hearing people say that implementing a large-scale is EPR is always difficult. So difficult that nobody has though, hey maybe we shouldn't do elective work for a couple of weeks? Maybe?
