But the answer is simple: BECAUSE IT IS THE MORALLY RIGHT THING TO DO.

Everything that RFK Jr, Jay Bhattacharya and fellow anti-vaccine zealots have said about COVID vaccines is garbage, as proven by world class, international scientific studies.
A Swedish study of nearly 60,000 women finds COVID-19 vaccines don't affect fertility. The additional evidence may not persuade all wome. Public attitudes about vaccines, Dr. Tara Smith said, “tend to be based on vibes and feelings," not data.

This is how authoritarian narratives work you smear the victim, praise the armed agent, and ignore the killing. No video justifies an execution. No insult erases due process. This is propaganda, not accountability.

NY/DC corridor media speeding right to the absolution of Trump and missing the fact that nothing has changed in Minnesota, despite his alleged change in tone
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Microsoft products seem to be getting worse with every update. Today, a Word Doc just wouldn't save no matter what I tried. Then I got a notification on Teams with nothing associated (no messages, calls, calendar invites, etc). Seems like the vibe coders are hard at work over there.
