This is a big deal.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good

You know the Democrats will be all about "healing" the country in '28, but we cannot heal if we do not have accountability for crimes. Every ICE agent must be held accountable, every politician, every fascist enabler and bootlicker. We need a Nuremberg and we need a leader who can make it happen.

Hell is not about eternal conscious torment. It is visited upon us and our neighbors daily.
And there is deliverance from these hellscapes.
Today is the day of salvation.
Rest in peace, Renee Good.

The fact that a warmonger president calls himself Christian and is cheered and primarily supported by Christians is one of the oldest and most egregious failures of Christianity - a failure to take seriously the Gospel’s commitment to peace and a cozying up to power. God hates war - full stop.

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses
“It is not clear what the research question is. It seems to be about the safety of the vaccine rather than its effectiveness, but both are already well-established, and to undertake such a study in a population where almost 1/5 of the adult population has a marker of infection seems extremely risky”

This is a wildly unethical study that would be illegal to conduct in the United States. Have you heard of the Tuskegee experiments (crimes against humanity)? This sounds like that.
CDC awards $1.6 million for new hepatitis B vaccine study in Guinea-Bissau. Although the award recipients aren't named, the grant seems tailored to Danish researchers whose work is championed by anti-vaxxers but challenged by mainstream scientists.

This goes against decades of global data on the safety and efficacy of the Hepatitis B vaccine and will mean some children will get entirely-preventable liver disease, organ failure, cancers, and die.
The CDC is officially pro-disease and pro-death when it comes to children.

The CDC officially adopted ACIP recommendations to change the universal hepatitis B vaccine at birth; the agency says it will still be available through Vaccines for Children. They're still reviewing the rec on blood testing.

The cheapest way to deliver healthcare is to provide universal healthcare. This has been demonstrated nearly infinite times; Roger Marshall just isn’t smart. The US spends more on healthcare than any other country in the entire world BECAUSE of privatization (and we have the worst health outcomes!)

Everything in our nativity was done to real people in Chicagoland. After Hannity put our church on his show, some people said that it was "sacrilege," but the real sacrilege is what is done to our immigrant neighbors and siblings by ICE. That's what profanes the image of God.
Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
