Read the thread/comments, then carry your rage to the phone to BITCH at your city/county/state/federal electeds--BE A LOUD THORN IN THE SIDE OF EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL YOU CAN. Everyone from the dogcatcher to congress, even if they have nothing to do with the vaccine schedule.
It's time to SCREAM.
This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)

Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.

Those who survive often lose limbs.

A beautiful day, here's the view from our valley floor of the #EasternSierras --Job's Peak and Job's Sister are the big fellas.
Glad all that lovely #snow is up THERE, and not down HERE. 😁
The avalanche cannons are certainly busy!

If you have a published novel, you should try for at least 3 markets a year. Start this month by identifying likely good markets and ask about the application dates. Do this now. Often the market process is a few months. You need the lead time. You need books on hand to sell.

You may think that sounds crazy. But when in human history has unchecked sociopathy coupled with limitless power gotten *less* audacious over time? Exactly the opposite is true: when the world’s worst criminals operate with impunity, their crimes broaden. It will be so here, too.

It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then

Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.
